Embark on your journey with confidence. The updated Bravers Game demo now features a basic controls in-game tutorial. With step-by-step instructions, you'll quickly become familiar with the controls and be ready to navigate through the challenges that await you.
Whether you're an experienced commander or a novice captain, the new tutorial will ensure you can command your ship like a true Braver!
Ship Blocks Storage in Docks
You now have the convenience of storing your unused ship blocks at the docks! Say farewell to the "You have some uninstalled blocks" message.
With this new feature, you can store and reuse your ship blocks as you progress. It's a seamless way to manage your resources and tailor your ship to ever-changing challenges. Enjoy the freedom to experiment and optimize your ship without interruptions.
Partial Repairs in Docks
Do you know that you can repair your ship blocks at the docks for a much cheaper price compared to ad-hoc repairs? The only downside is that you must pay for the complete repair.
But now, with the latest update to the demo version, we've got some exciting news for you – introducing the ability to do partial repairs! It's super easy – just choose the specific block you want to fix, select resources you want to allocate for the repair, and see how the blocks get mended in proportion to the resources you've provided.
Concentrate Fire
Concentrate fire like never before! Now, you can select a single target, causing all weapons within reach to focus their firepower.
This improvement enables a more precise and coordinated assault, ensuring that every available weapon is utilized against your chosen adversary. Take control of your arsenal and strategically target foes, maximizing the effectiveness of your firepower in every encounter.
Some minor, but noteworthy changes
We've also made some changes to the lightingand rebaked it. As a result, you'll notice slightly refreshed visuals, an enhanced overall atmosphere, and improved performance.
Now, with a simple click of a button, you have the ability to save and restore the positions of your crew as you see fit!
We've made a few improvements to the enemy behavior. They've gotten a little smarter now and won't just blindly charge at your ship anymore.
We've streamlined the crew control for a more intuitive experience. Say goodbye to the guesswork associated with the next mouse right-click action. Now, crew management is more straightforward and user-friendly.
Numerous enhancements to the Docks and Journal windows.
Confession time – we've all been there, forgetting to connect controllable blocks to the command block. But worry no more! With the latest update to Bravers demo, these blocks will now be automatically connected as soon as you leave the shipyard.
Behold the all-new loading screen featuring a status bar – no more guessing if we're stuck or Unity is weaving its magic.

Bravers first award
Bravers was nominated as the #1 game of the first competition hosted by "The House of The Dev" http://thehouseofthedev.com/ and "Kefir" studio https://kefirgames.ru/
We are so excited to be selected and highlighted among other amazing projects. For our very small team, this is a huge boost to keep moving forward. It is very important now, when the main mechanics are done, the basic code is written and the most "interesting" part of gamedev is here waiting for us - make content and do QA.
We would like to have another opportunity to say "Thanks" to our community! You are amazing! Thank you for your support and stay tuned. More news are coming in.
Bravers updated demo
We want to say "Thank you" to our Bravers community for the feedback we got about the demo version of Bravers. We have worked hard to prepare an updated demo version for you to play. And today, we are happy to announce it is available on Steam for everyone.
Build points
We like creativity, but we also believe having 5 turrets is not the same as having 5 storage blocks.
Even if you have enough resources, you cannot build a ship with 10 turrets and go for revenge. Each block now has its own cost in build points. You receive building points with levels or through skills and perks. So plan accordingly.
Save system
We know you have been waiting for it. Now you can save your game at any time and then resume later on.
Do not forget we have some sort of permadeath system in place. Whenever you killed, the save will be deleted, and you have to start from the beginning. It is not a bug. It is a feature.
Key bindings
Another requested feature. Now you can assign your preferred keys to any actions in the game. Want to move forward with "S" and backward with "W" - now you can.
Two new enemies
Be careful. Fire Spitters and Pirates are not the biggest problems anymore. There are 2 more enemies around waiting for the Brave captain.
One of them already looks dangerous, but wait for him to start shooting (or better not). Another one is hard to spot, but trust us - you will remember that moment.
New ship block
We added a new block to the demo for you to try different game strategies. Being simply an armor block, it may change your game style completely. There is no need to tank with your engine anymore.
But even with lots of resources, you cannot build a ship surrounded by armor blocks. Remember that build points story?
Rendering and Visuals
We fixed the FPS issue. We changed the Unity version (that was a bumpy ride). We completely changed the rendering pipeline and the way we work with assets. As a result - 300+ FPS (we even had to cap it) and a new look of the scenes. Enjoy.
Equipment and Perks system
Now you can equip your crew members with items. Maximum of 2 items allowed per crew member. It will give you some bonuses, to make your life easier. Try using binoculars, for example.
Sometimes your crew members will get perks. Those are mainly random and can be positive and negative. Remember, you can still throw any crew member out of the ship.
Help System
We added more information to the in-game help menu. Do not hesitate to look through if you are new to the Bravers world.
