Nextfest cometh while a new beta with mirroring and lots of QA features is live

Nextfest is here,, and a beta update to try and test.

So Nextfest is here and the demo has been gathering feedback from the userbase, that means' there's a big update coming with lots of improvements. ;)But first Steam doesn't allow screenshot sharing to the gamehub for demos, so here are some ships created by the discord community

A new BETA update

To try the beta update go to game properties and this screen:

that will download the update to try.. lots of improvements that might require feedback..

here's a full changelist

When a item is unique, once it exists in storage it won't be shown again in the creation menu

• masts can dissapear

• standing prop preview doesnt have accurate yaw

• you can sometimes get a stale selection, so selections from the dack when the cursor is over the side

• sails where hard to drag or select from the side

• centerline props and masts will get mirrored on the sterns (stern sprits and rams)

• added a number of new bows

• added a number of new sterns

• made sterns and bows more consistent in shape

• you can have multiple sprits

• dragging a mast to a new order will regenerate the rigging to match

• the cursor would detect faces facing backwards, (on the opposite side of the hull

• rails on superstructure/castles are mirrored (on symmetrical objects its mirrored)

• gun emplacement and other superstucture items are mirrored symmetrically as default, but once placed can be moved individually or removed to create assymetry

• improved the decking consistency

• rails on castles are fully symmetrical

• edit a little cursor switch over the centerline to indicate you can make another hull gizmo

• improved rigger and floating item support generation to be more accurate and attractive.

So Let the NEXTFEST start and also let me know how these improvements feel!

Cheerio,
Tomas
