Airships sells 100k Copies, Scheduled AMASeven years ago, I started working on a simple game about building airships and blowing them up again. Over time, it became definitely not simple, and Im very proud to announce that its now sold 100000 copies!
You can build airships and landships from more than a hundred modules in a free-form way. You can ram enemy ships, board them, watch them break apart, fight against sky-krakens that eat your crew. You can conquer the world in multiplayer. You can replay fights and take over at any point to change the outcome.
I designed and developed the game, made most of the graphics and sounds, did the marketing and community management. Curtis Schweitzer has created an amazing soundtrack for it, Karina S drew beautiful art, Javier Zmer improved the sound design, and many many community members have contributed graphics, ship designs, and vast amounts of feedback.
The game is a hidden gem : 95% positive reviews on Steam, thousands of user-created ships and hundreds of mods in the workshop, but not much media coverage.
So I admit Im also here to say: Hey! Look! We made this thing, and its actually really cool and pretty big now!
Come and talk to me: Im doing an AMA on Reddit on Saturday, August 22, 20:00 CEST.

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.
