Dear Stormworkers,
Version 1.0 is here!
Check out the new trailer.
Remember, Version 1.0 is just the beginning. We have big plans for many minor and major updates as development continues as normal, as well as loads of time put aside for fixing and improving the game.
Experimental branch is live! To access experimental branch and the new modular engines, go to your Steam library, right click on Stormworks, then go to the Betas tab. Here you should be able to select the "experimental" beta.
There is a huge amount in this update. Please see below for the full change log, but lets briefly recap the biggest new features in todays update!
New LUA Game ModdingWe have added a whole new type of content creation in Stormworks - game scripting! We have added scripts to the mission editor, and a whole new API for controlling the game from here. We used this to make the new missions, tutorial, and cargo system, but is can also be used for servers, or creating new games within the Stormworks world.
First Person Body, Tools, EquipmentYou now have a body when in first person mode, and can use handheld tools and equipment. There is repair tools, medical equipment, tracking and illumination equipment and more!
Spreadable Vehicle FireFire on vehicle now spreads! Fire creeps along surfaces, damages components, and hurts players. Fire can quickly get out of control and is a huge new design consideration when creating Stormworks vehicles. Fire respects doors and is compartmentalised.
New Career and Missions, Tutorial, LogisticsThere are new procedural missions, the new tutorial, and a container cargo handling system. There is now a huge amount more to do in the world of Stormworks, and much more to come, with an open API for creating gameplay content.
New Customisation MenuYou now have full control of game settings, real time from within the game. Infinite fuel and electric, teleporting, damage, first person, map visibility and more!
Weather Simulation & SeasonsWeather is now locally simulated, and more extreme. Expect stronger winds, bigger waves, and predictable weather systems and storms.
Thank you to all players who bought, played, discussed, shared on the workshop, suggested features, and reported bugs, for helping us reach this huge milestone! It is a huge privilege that so many of you have chosen to spend so much time playing our game, and it means a lot.
There is so much more to come in the world of Stormworks, and we look forward sharing this journey with you all as we continue to make Stormworks as good as it can be!
Much love
The Stormworks Developers
