Also, the modding support is now in beta! If you'd like to try out modding the game, switch to the "modding-beta" branch in Steam, join this group to be able to see the Steam Workshop, and look at the detailed documentation and examples. You can also join our Discord to ask questions, give feedback, and talk about modding.

Now that the post-release dust has settled, I'm working on adding modding and workshop support to Airships: Lost Flotilla.

You'll be able to add and modify existing weapons, player ships, equipment, and more. My previous game had extensive mod support, so I'm building on my experience to build on its strengths and avoid some pitfalls.

For now, you can read the work in progress modding documentation here, or discuss modding the game on the Discord.

And again, thank you for all your support, feedback, and kind words.

• Stelas work again.
  
• Improved performance.
