Airships: Conquer the Skies (tuxdb.com)

▶

I am happy to announce that Airships: Conquer the Skies will be released on August 16, 2018. It's been five years of development, nearly all of it with public builds available, going from a ship construction prototype with weirdly greenish-tinged wood to its current state, with multiplayer, dragons, landships, and well, more ship design. Today also marks the release of dev 10, the final major pre-release version, featuring conquest multiplayer, a tech tree, and graphical improvements.
Here's a bunch of the cool stuff the game now contains:

Explosions
Free-form ship design where you're not limited to some fixed layout
Historically authentic heraldry
Dragon taming
Giant sky squid that eat your crew
Grappling hooks
Giant land-walkers
An in-game editor for challenge missions
A combat replay system that lets you re-enter the fight on either side
Multiplayer map conquest
Extensive modding support with more than a hundred mods, adding a huge number of extra modules and other things
Explosions

From now until release, I'll be concentrating on improving conquest mode and the game tutorial. After, I will of course continue supporting the game with bug fixes, balance patches, and user interface improvements. Oh, are you a member of the press or a streamer? Would you like to know more? Are you going to gamescom? Drop me a line.

Design steampunk pixel airships out of functional modules and conquer the skies!

In the game, ships are viewed side-on, and their modules are operated by individual crew members. During combat, players give high-level commands to a small fleet, positioning their ships, ramming and boarding others. Ships and terrain are fully destructible: they can catch fire, explode, break apart, and fall. Players can also compete against one another in Internet and LAN matches.

The ships are highly detailed, teeming with sailors moving around at their individual tasks, like an ant farm or a cut-away drawing. The player's choices in ship layout are crucial, and an important part of the game is exploring the design space of different airships and their matching tactics.
