Finally 1.8.0 is out, packed with many new features among which wind, air bubbles, and cloth material.
In detail:
Musical theme for this release: Coldplay, “A Rush of Blood to the Head”
Added ability to specify ships’ characteristics with multiple layers (structural, electrical, ropes)
Electrical properties can now be specified on top of any material - no more weak electrical cables!
Added cloth material (sails and flags!)
Added wind modulation, with gusts transferring momentum to cloth and rope materials
Added tool to shape the ocean floor interactively
Added air bubbles coming out from holes in a ship
Added tool to flood and dry the interior of a ship
Added ability to take screenshots directly from within the game
Improved light diffusion, added more light types, and made lights vulnerable to becoming wet
Redesigned entire buoyancy simulation (see https://gabrielegiuseppini.wordpress.com/2018/12/22/a-physics-puzzle/)
Lowered friction of ships on the sea floor
Fixed bug when mouse moves out of the game window while a tool is engaged
This time the game comes also with a standalone Windows installer that simplifies the setup. If you prefer, however, you may still download the ZIP archive.
