Hey guys! So, I spent some time on getting the linux builds to work and just published them! Please give me feedback if everything works properly, because admittedly I'm not a linux expert! :) (So, even if everything works, feel free to leave me a message in the #feedback discord channel so I know everything is good!) While I was on it, I figured it would be easy to also integrate steam cloud saves - so those are also available in this update now! Besides of that, I'm currently working on a fix for broken savegames, this has the following reason: - The game saves your progress automatically and asynchronous, to make sure it doesn't lag - This process can (especially on larger bases) take up to 5 seconds or more. - If you exit the game within that time, the write-process will be disrupted and thus you will end up with a corrupt file - Unfortunately its not possible to restore the file, once corrupted. The fix here is to implement a mechanism which many programs already have: Write a secondary file, and once written rename it to the original file. This ensures that the content is written as whole. It's not easy to integrate and takes some time, but I'm giving my best! Be sure to also check the Roadmap Announcement to see what I'll be working on! PS: If you are interested in helping with the translations, check out the Translations on GitHub! PPS: Northernlion played shapez.io! This is so cool! Check out the video PPPS: I'm so overwhelmed by all this positive feedback! Love you guys! (And I can hardly keep up, please don't be mad if I don't respond instantly!)

shapez.io is a game about building factories to automate the creation and combination of shapes. Deliver the requested, increasingly complex shapes to progress within the game and unlock upgrades to speed up your factory.
Since the demand raises you will have to scale up your factory to fit the needs - Don't forget about resources though, you will have to expand in the infinite map!
Since shapes can get boring soon you need to mix colors and paint your shapes with it - Combine red, green and blue color resources to produce different colors and paint shapes with it to satisfy the demand.
This game features 18 levels (Which should keep you busy for hours already!) but I'm constantly adding new content - There is a lot planned!
Standalone Advantages
- Waypoints
- Unlimited Savegames
- Dark Mode
- More settings
- Allow me to further develop shapez.io ❤️
- More features in the future!
Planned features & Community suggestions
This game is open source - Anybody can contribute! Besides of that, I listen a lot to the community! I try to read all suggestions and take as much feedback into account as possible.
- Story mode where buildings cost shapes
- More levels & buildings (standalone exclusive)
- Different maps, and maybe map obstacles
- Configurable map creation (Edit number and size of patches, seed, and more)
- More types of shapes
- More performance improvements (Although the game already runs pretty good!)
- Color blind mode
- And much more!
