The Shipolis Playtest is live!

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hello everyone!

I am very happy to announce that the Shipolis Playtest is now live on Steam! So you can download and play it right now!

This is an early build of a game in active development, so it has limited content, and you can explore only one region for now. Still, I believe there is plenty to do already:

  • 9 quests to guide your progress

  • 8 different raw materials to collect

  • 10 more resources to craft through production lines

  • A few upgrades for your ship

  • 38 different buildings in total

I would expect it to take 30-60 minutes to explore all the available content. If you encounter issues or have any suggestions, please use the Steam forums, I'm looking forward to reading your posts and improving things. Also, I am planning to update the Playtest to add quality of life enhancements and expand the content until there is enough to launch an official Demo. My next step is to work on adding a second region!

I hope you will enjoy playing. Please don't forget to wishlist and spread the word if your enjoy the game, this helps a lot!

See you next time!

-Radiant Sloth
