Hi Thrusty Ship fans, Today we're releasing the first major update to Thrusty Ship. Here's what's new:

• Completely reworked graphics. We like to call them 2.25D. We're using 3D rendering techniques to give our 2D art a slight 3D feeling. We achieved this by adding normal maps, height maps, ambient occlusion, emission and lighting.
• User Interface overhaul. All of the menus have been completely redone. They still work mostly as they did before (meaning they only support controllers or keyboard), but they look slicker and clearer.
• Level editor with Workshop support added. It's now possible to create your own levels and upload them to the Steam Workshop interface. The editor only supports Mouse and Keyboard controls. There is a video tutorial series you can consult to learn how to use it as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftUNo0_O0Lk&list=PLYNA5JTxVZN0R8XjvR-Vb4NplcvGy9YM9
• Custom Level Selection menu. Here you will be able to play custom levels you made, or ones that you're subscribed to on the Steam Workshop.

• The Level Editor is still in Beta. Anyone can use it, but there may be problems we have yet to uncover. We'll be fixing problems as we find them. Please get in touch with us at support@inprincipleinc.com if you encounter problems!
• At the moment, we are missing localisation of the Level Editor in French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Polish, Dutch, Russian, Turkish, and Norwegian. We will be working on adding these in as soon as possible. Please bear in mind that our localisation teams are made up of volunteers, to whom we are eternally grateful. This situation makes it impossible for us to promise a precise date for the localised versions to be released.
