New Ship Load Window in 1.9


After a short holiday I’m back working on 1.9.0. The first improvement in this version will be a completely revised window for loading ships. Up to 1.8.0, when you go to the “File” menu and select “Load Ship” a quite dull window will open to allow you to navigate to a folder on your computer and select files suitable to be used as ships in Floating Sandbox (.shp and .png files). Especially .shp files look quite dumb as Windows doesn’t have a clue of what they contain.

This will all be different in 1.9.0. The new window will show a preview of all ship files, together with measurements and some metadata - author, year the ship was built on, etc. Check this preview out:

Here's a peaceful little forest scene for this #screenshotsaturday, from the beginning of the game.

We made a lot of improvements on the Freezing Plains visual. Things like pine trees, tiny bushes, some rocks, and others game props!

I was bored, so... ManutKat.

So here's the first of the zodiac signs i will make for the next weeks.

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.
