ShipShaper: Falconeer Chronicles · published

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 something for the fans of subs out there (behave) More of a visual learner? Here's how it works in trailer format :
Every week the game has a challenge for you to build towards - and gives you 7 days to create the ship that best suits the theme! The game takes a look at the number of likes on Steam Workshop submitted boats - and calculates a leaderboard to show who's creations have captured the most peoples imagination! At the start of every week, we will look at the top 10 submissions, and between us at Wired and Tomas, pick the boat that TRULY captures the spirit of ShipShaper the most - whether that's a faithfully accurate replication of something from real life, something FANTASTICAL and strange, or simply something fast and streamlined! The winner will be notified and asked to provide delivery details, and we'll print out the ship and send it over along with a set of paints for you to bring your creation to life and proudly display out of the game. Already have a 3d printer and do this yourself? No worries, we have a range of additional loot we can send over as well!
Whilst every week there can only be one winner- we'll be proudly creating compilations of the top 10 every week and spotlighting them in weekly blogs and across all of our social platforms - so even if you don't make the #1 spot - the world will still see the fruits of your labours! Thank you all for joining us on our nautical experiment with Tomas, we are only in early days and have already been surprised by your creativity - we can't wait to see what the ocean holds with further updates just over the horizon. Don't forget that ShipShaper is available for - effectively, a steal right now as part of the Falconeer Franchise sale. If you have a boat lover in your life, or someone that just enjoys the wild swings that indie gaming can make when not limited by genre - then tell your friends to go play the demo, drop a wishlist and buy now if they like what they see. https://store.steampowered.com/sale/FalconeerFranchiseSale
