We have a new crane from Khaleer. It re-uses texture from the previous crane in order for the game to run on potato computers (hopefully).

Mostrovska finished their internship, with a cool painting showing eco-pirates in need of ship repairs. Find more of their work at https://mostrovskaa.tumblr.com/

Development updates

Giiba has been working on the shipbuilding UI.

We changed the shipbuilding system to be a 2D top-down view instead of side scroller. The new system seems to scale nicer to the different size classes. We’re still working on giving each icon an unique png/svg so that it’s easy to tell the equipment apart.

Pixelberk -who joined us last month- has been working on the solar foundry and scrapyard building so that they produce scrap metal, plates and ingots, but also an inventory system to hold these items before assembly in the hangar.

In the past few weeks, we’ve added new artists on the team who will be helping us until the summer.

Maritime festival event

A celebration of sailing ships and all things related to the sea, this event boost the morale of shipyard workers and you have the option to spend some cash to participate and get a booth (increases city approval, +1 yardie) or take the whole team on a day cruise on tallships (large morale boost).
