Hello everyone,

We are still very hard at work in development with a new development team and are going to be doing our very best to bring you a great game. As this is Early Access, there will be some features not yet fully realised and some parts that may seem buggy. We’d appreciate reporting issues in the Steam forums.
For suggestions, general feedback and discussions please visit the main forum page.
The first month of development will be on the following key areas
Improving bridge interior quality (none of the current ships are up to final interior quality)
Balancing in game economy and ranking
Creating new missions for Career Mode
Gaining community feedback from users to plan following months work load
Adjusting English text & translating into other languages
New ships will of course be added in Early Access but we would like to refine what we have first before we begin to add new content.
As for new ships, we would like your requests. Check out the link below to find details on how you can suggest new ships and the process we are adopting.
We will be building up suggestions for the very first few weeks and implementing as many as possible.

All the best,

A Small Delay On World Ship Simulator
Hi everyone,
We have been working very hard to finalize everything for World Ship Simulators release. However I am afraid an issue has appeared that has resulted in a slight delay to the games release.
We will have to delay the game by six days to the 17th of November. Of course, those who own European Ship Simulator will still receive a copy of World Ship Simulator for free. But I am afraid that there have been some unavoidable issues that have severely impacted the release.
Below are just a few screenshots of the game in action that we'd like to share:
We apologize for the last minute delay and are really looking forward to you all getting your hands on the game soon.
World Ship Simulator - The Port Boat & Optimisation
Hi everyone,
Over the next week up to the games launch on the 12th of November we'll be sharing a few videos. The first of which I can reveal today, will be the port boat. Check out the boat in action below:

The above video does include an FPS counter for a few of the scenes. We understand that during European Ship Simulator that optimization was really important to everyone. So we are working towards this and still have some work to do.
World Ship Simulator will launch with more customization to increase performance on your machines. below are some of the options players can tinker with.
Not long now until launch and we can't wait for you all to play the game!
