Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“To give players an idea of our game's design and allow players to give us feedback early in development.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“As long as we need, we aren't going to release a half made game. We do hope to have a polished feature-complete game by December 2025 which would include all combat mechanics, an in-depth magic system, interesting quests, and some captivating locations. From there, we will continue to build out the world's scale, lore, and content.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Early Access will give an overall demonstration of Shaype's gameplay. Combat, questing, dialogue, and character progression will all make their way into Early Access, demonstrating Shaype's foundation as a game.

Full release will expand upon and polish the features demonstrated in Early Access.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently our demo contains the first level of Shaype. Player’s can expect around 3-4 hours of content which provides a good example of what we hope to achieve with Shaype.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Shaype will most likely gradually increase in price as content is added.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“The community will be able to engage in the development process through our demos/builds released on Steam.

Updates to Shaype will allow players to test various aspects of gameplay, such as melee and ranged combat, stealth, magic, skills/character development, quest design, and world-building.

Players can share their feedback and help guide the development of Shaype primarily through our Sinking Ship Studios Discord or through our other various social media platforms that can all be found on our website.”

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

The game includes frequent occurrences of cartoon blood, gore, and violence. Due to the game being heavily designed around player choice the player will always have the option to solve situations with violence. Our world is designed to look bright and happy but is filled with dark themes that include the use/discussion of drugs and alcohol. At times the game may allow the users to coerce or even force other characters to inflict harm upon themself leaving them wounded or even dead.
