What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Shipshaper has already been heavily influenced by the community , both on Steam and on Discord. From historical item suggestions to main features ,community influence steers a lot of what I spend making day to day. On top of that I like tinkering with my games after they're mostly done, expanding them and making them better EA feels like a way to make that structural and expected.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“At least 3 months, Generally my games get two years of full content and update support. But likely it won't be that long the core feature set for ShipShaper is already quite complete. Make ships, share them and sail them. ”

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

“This is something that is decided with the community. There is lots of space for more content but also feature requests. There is a decent library of historical naval items but there is no end in sight as to what can be added.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“ShipShaper is already a robust ship creation experience, the EA launch also adds the ability to test-drive the ship, dynamic lights, a full complement of sails , guns and off course the unique Shipshaper hull shaping tech. ”

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

“Likely the final release price will be higher than the EA price.”

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

“I am a solodev that's super active on the steam forums and the game's discord. Features get created based upon requests all the time. Ask and suggest anything and it might happen!

About This Game

The joy of designing boats and ships, nothing more, nothing less.

I’ve always loved ships and boats, tall ships, steamers, pre-dreadnought french monstrosities, I love em all. 
ShipShaper is a small, explorative ship builder I made for the simple pleasure of shaping boats and ships. You pull, push, and drag forms into place, creating everything from humble fishing vessels to tall ships, ironclads, and early dreadnoughts.

It's a boat designer married to experimental interfaces that are intended to take away the tedium from designing boats.  No 3D skills required, no endless stacks of cubes, just some organic shaping and attaching props and functional items to create whatever ship you want.  

When you’re done, you can place your ships into an Ursee Diorama and enjoy it as your creation or export it to Bulwark or my future games.

As an homage to my modding roots, I am also adding a 3D FBX e xport option, not just for 3D printing but also for modding and other indies.  ShipShaper will come with a license to use the ships you create in any way you want for your own game development, 3d Printing, board games or modding venture.   

ShipShaper is about creating a foundational technology that will power my own future games, connect my franchise but also empower other creators to have fun with ships and have a usable output, game-ready and usable.

  • Free-form building

  • Responsive shaping

  • Expanding library of details and props
