About this gameFull description from Steam
Game description ShipCrafter is a naval sandbox combat simulator. Build you ship, unlock new parts, and defeat increasingly powerful foes ! Challenge adversaries in the campaign and liberate europe, or battle your own creations in the custom battle mode, and try to come up with the most efficient and original design. Realtime physics We are making a game with accurate physics. As such we implemented a realtime buoyancy system based on weight and submerged volume. The ship density and center of mass is displayed in editor, allowing to fine tune your ship and even make submarines using ballasts ! Weaponery physics were particularly cared for as well, with fully simulated shell trajectories considering air pressure, changes in density through the atmosphere, and the influence of speed on shells drag value. Penetration calculations are based on armor thickness, angle of incidence, bounce probability, and shell speed and mass. Features Realtime buoyancy simulation even considering ocean waves. Various armor thicknesses and accurate penetration calculation based on speed, mass and angle of incidence. Realistic ballistic trajectories even considering changes in the air pressure with altitude. Speeds and distances are however reduced to increase the nervosity of combats (in reality it would take more than a minute to hit a target at 20km). Adjustable ballasts for submarine designs. Physics based damages instead of healthbars. Turrets and engines will also lose performance if hit. Weather system and day cycles, including changes in ocean waves amplitude and rain. Campaign with more than 50 missions. More than 20 different ships to defeat. Custom battle editor, including weather, time of day selection, and bots vs bots naval battles. Manual and automatic control mode for weaponery. Realtime fluid simulation (experimental). Visit your ship in first person view. Steam Workshop supported. Raytracing renderer to generate your most beautiful screenshots ! Officially supported modding. Steam workshop support Battleships, cruisers, submarines : this game already supports the steam workshop ! You can share your creations with the community and download other people's ships this way ! Multiplayer mode A sandbox mode is available in game ! Play with up to 10 people, and enable or disable damage to fight naval battles or simply to show off your ships to others. Raytracing renderer You can now create your own scene in ShipCrafter, allowing to modify the sun orientation, add fog and generate screenshots with outstanding quality thanks to raytracing. Discord Join the discord to post your creations or simply talk about WWII ships and connect with the community !
