In the game, ships are viewed side-on, and their modules are operated by individual crew members. During combat, players give high-level commands to a small fleet, positioning their ships, ramming and boarding others. Ships and terrain are fully destructible: they can catch fire, explode, break apart, and fall. Players can also compete against one another in Internet and LAN matches.
The ships are highly detailed, teeming with sailors moving around at their individual tasks, like an ant farm or a cut-away drawing. The player's choices in ship layout are crucial, and an important part of the game is exploring the design space of different airships and their matching tactics.
I've been working on improving the game's networking and save/load functions, and it's now time for a last open beta to make sure it all works before it gets officially released. So if you're interested, switch to the "mp_beta" branch to experience:
- Much faster loading and saving
- Preview infos of saved games
- Much faster checking of Steam subscriptions on startup
- Smoother, more resilent multiplayer
- The ability to load modded ships when you're missing some required mods
- Mechanical tentacles
- Bugs, potentially
If you try it out, please document and tell me about any problems you run into! Don't assume that I already know a problem exists. You can contact me here, or on the Steam forums, or on Discord , or via email to zarkonnen@gmail.com .
To switch to the beta, right-click on the game in your Steam library, choose "Properties", then select the "Betas" tab from the window that appears, and finally "mp_beta" from the drop-down in that tab.
