Floating Sandbox 1.17.5 is *almost* out!


Dear shipmates,

It's been a while since we've last posted a status update. With the end of the year approaching, life is getting more hectic than ever; family, work, and everything else is vying to get their slices of our precious time. But fear not! We've been working hard on the next Floating Sandbox update anyway, and we've finally reached the "code complete" milestone for version 1.17.5. This is the last update with major ShipBuilder work - namely the copy/cut/paste functionality; with this last release, all the important ShipBuilder features that we had planned years ago are now reality, and from now on we will only improve the ShipBuilder with minor tools and/or improvements here and there.

Version 1.17.5 is now undergoing localization and testing from our beta tester community. This might take a few days, after which Floating Sandbox will be ready for release. Stay tuned for the release announcement - it'll be coming quite soon!

Talk to you all later,

Gabe

So

i may or may not make an full art of some person or i may just leave this like that-

Shoobies leave a sticky trail of mucus in their wake, which can impede movement for any creature that steps in it.

What you all think

Sometimes the suction cup get sticky. Small animation I made in Blender after doing my tutorial on picking up/dropping objects in animations. Crate model by jQueary (https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/game-ready-sci-fi-crate-d98deca6…).

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)

Call it 'wrong turn'!🚫 The feeling of running into a house with only one exit🚪, and being doomed to die. #pixelart #pixelartist #pixelartwork #art #pixel #indiegame #IndieGameDev #indieartist
