ShipShaper: Falconeer Chronicles

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 SQUADRONS UPDATECommand a line formation, ram enemies, dive beneath the waves, massive QoL updates, new parts , new physics. A ton of stuff. So basically the new full physics mode added earlier has started a mad dash to improve it and add much needed depth to the world sandbox. you can now have stuff to do and have a much more brutal and accurate simulation of your ship. Make a sailship too sharp and you might need to be careful not to keel it over in a tight tack. But there is a lot more, diving, color theme saving, item alignment snaps.. tons of stuff you have requested.. And we are o

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 the humb, this now reverts to what it was before) made a new lighter smoke particlefx, that is properly lit by the boat and sky made medium and small emplacements be smaller (wider scale range).. added review reminders the 3rd and 5th save time or first time you submit a ship (only then ever, and only once if you pressed the button) made gafs longer per request made the scale of medium and small emplacements have a wider range (can get smaller) added extra scaling option to the rigger so it can be more versatile prevented infinite darktide foil spamming fixed in delete mode tha

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 submitting a workshop item some small item fixes, a funnel didn't rotate and such.

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 a workshop itemsome small item fixes, a funnel didn't rotate and such. Also the user reviews are nearly at 50, if the game gets 50+ reviews in a language then it will tick over to "very positive" and steam will start promoting the game more. So if you are enjoying shipshaper and you feel it deserves more dev time, please consider leaving a review today. It's still within the launch window, so everything basically has double the impact on success. Also we are nearing 200 entries in the workshop..!!! that's amazing . keep voting and sharing.
