Ahoy ShipShapers! I hope you've been enjoying preparing your creations for the weekly challenge that was mentioned by Wired Productions yesterday - but today we want to tell you about the first proper major update to ShipShaper. This has been a mad dash all week to get a lot of your feedback integrated, while having a ton of fun with the enhanced physics I added last week and just bringing that to the next level. If you're up for a 40 minute rant on how this Early Access Is going to run (chaotically with a lot of player involvement and lots of development spurts), check out this video. THE SQU

Ahoy there Shipshapers, we hope that you've been enjoying your time with the early access launch, whether you're an old sea dog veteran of the Ursee and evolving demo, or this is your first foray into the creative world of Tomas Sala's Falconeer universe. Today we're here to tell you a little about the start of our weekly ShipShaper competition and how it ties into the games global leaderboards! OH ALSO, we've got a really cool patch coming tomorrow taking some new features to the beta branch - things that will let you create a literal fleet of your ships and test their seaworthiness, and some

After a day of testing butting the "full physics" toggle in world mode live,, have fun sinking and testing your ships with this fuller simulation.. Don't put all your guns in the back, unless you want to keel over ;) Added a new full physics button that will allow ships to list, keel over and sink. stability is derived from hull rations, superstructures, gun weight, riggers and so forth. if you have no autosaves it will show the help menu when you boot the game for the first time middle hull themes change back to the previous theme after selecting the whaleback bow (which changes the middle to

Hi everyone, Based on several requests, and cuz I agreed It'd be fun, I've made a new feature. "Full Physics" : Turn on the full physics and the ship swaps from the arcade-ey stabilized physics to a full model evaluation of the ship's hull, superstructure and outriggers. the weight of the gun and above the line structures will impact the stability of your ship. Your ship may list , keel over and sink !.. Here's a quick video.. HHave fun testing some of those monstrosities, because I also added a proper weighting calculation, so if your hull cannot float the weight,, down you go.. Go to game pr

Alright that beta got tested with QA and some of you also noticed the beta updating. A few niceties, windowed mode and steamstack smoke! also I added a little reminder to review the game, it shows 3 times ever after finishing a workshop upload.. We're nearly at 50 english reviews, which apparently is a major algorithmic milestone, so thank you all! added smoke to funnels when sailing (click on the ocean to set sail and watch em smoke it up) added alt +enter windowed mode support , press alt + enter to go to windowed mode improved collisions to be less jittery added review reminder when submitt

Hi Everyone. As this is Early Access you can expect lots of updates. The first one is already available on the development beta Go to game properties/betas and select the development branch, wait for it to update and voila. I usually test these out for a day at least to see if they're stable. So if you want the latest stuff, check out that branch. added smoke to funnels when sailing (click on the ocean to set sail and watch em smoke it up)added alt +enter windowed mode support , press alt + enter to go to windowed modeimproved collisions to be less jittery added review reminder when submitting

Hi everyone. In between the Early Access release date (3 September), I am doing a lot of development. But some of this is on the Shipshaper to Bulwark pipeline. Here's a quick short on that:That's all cool and workshop is going to be backbone of both shipshaper and Bulwark. One click export to Bulwark. It will also power the leaderboards and challenges. However that means the Demo cannot have the new leaderboard features, cuz Demos cannot read the workshop of the main app (sigh). But I still did a small demo beta update (Go to game properties/betas and select development beta branch and wait f

Hey everyone! Announced during the SIXONEINDIES Showcase this evening, I have some breaking news! ShipShaper Sets Sail for Steam Early Access on September 3rd!

Hi Everyone Time for a brand new Demo update. This might be the last demo update until launch (bar bugs). It's been cooking a good while and if you want to see all of this in action, check my video update. TLDR: I fixed a ton of issues and bugs, but also added a few more historical inspired guns to showcase the game will also focus on historical ships, not just fantasy or Falconeer Chronicles stuff. Historical items are going to be a huge part of Shipshaper. I would say that I am mostly focusing on pre 1900s , pre -dreadnaught ships. This includes A lot of age of sail focus (as you may have no

Hi everyone, It's been a while since an update was promoted from beta to release, so it's about time. This major update to ShipShaper tackles a number of things, and there is some updates for features that won't be in the demo , but are exciting regardless. Item detail and filter menuThis is a UX improvement that adds a way to scroll through all the item options available and swap them out, and it comes with filters you can set, so if you just wanna scroll windows for instance. Extrusion RailsThese seem like simple shapes at first, but they are very functional at creating platforms, overhangs
