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:

Heya there! I really wanted to show you all a little gameplay preview of the first boss fight i'm currently working on i hope you like it ^^

Runestones: from concept to in-game model🗿

I have added rewards for quests so that villagers can give you something in return for your hard work helping them. 🥳

I want to know - what's your favourite quest reward?

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)

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.
