Today I ported #shipshaper 's infinite lights back into falconeer. Cuz if you all think Ace Combat is great, then you'd might like some more arcade Air Combat.. !! #indiedev

Did I just port an upgraded version of my infinite light system into #thefalconeer ?? I might have.. (and added directional calculations so proper point lights this time)

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Yeh I like that... Also bunch of new details, arched rails and pirate shields. cuz why not. #shipshaper #indiedev

Who am I kidding I cannot keep this shit to myself.... I lied... #shipshaper is going all the way.. I said naval sandbox.. I mean that.

When' you've literally spend years fiddling with waves and oceans and wakes.. and it finally starts to look decent.. #indiedev I picked an ocean world because it meant having less assets to produce,, only to then spend a decade on a single asset. also no this won't run on a potato anymore.

I am mostly using to add contrast and highlight to otherwise fairly flat scenes.. it's fairly light 10-5% fps drop at most..

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Hmmmm I fixed up The Falconeer Remaster's (yes it got remastered) lights system. Into one of those fancy infinite light solution (calculation lights against the depthbuffer in one go)... kinda fancy.....still lots of artefacts..ray tracing it is not

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Oooh I even made a shitty microtrailer for the new update.. check out those wakes.. And the massive item selector "library" .. it's all #shipshape #indiegame #wishlistwednesday store.steampowered.com/news/app/433...

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Finally had some time to finish a big desired feature. a wake system, had this figured out ever since #thefalconeer, but never got around to it. Basically a top down render, drawing out the ship's profile,. then using that 2000s ripple javascript effect basically to displace the ocean #gamedev

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Spend an hour just tuning the hull and sails for the best performance.. cuz that stuff now matters in #shipshaper.. You even get some stats in the upcoming Early Access Update. Try it out: store.steampowered.com/app/4339280/...

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Some days you just want to see if you can make something fairly conventional. Just a yacht and then just enjoy the sailing experience. It's bit seventies, but you ships like these all around Northsea ports I guess.

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Saw someone share this 'shipshaper-like' recently,, pretty impressive work on ship shaper's ideas with the curves. Is it a clone. possibly..but who cares. I explained how to do it publicly. And dunno who's making this, but if they need help, feel free to reach out.. #indiedev

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Saturday!I don't know what this is, but its steaming! #screenshotsaturday

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

I will do this once, so y'all know I can do this the right way.. Then I'll go back to making inscrutable minimalist playthings that require effort and friction to use. Allright. one time only.. A proper interface.. #indiedev #shishaper Going to bed now...Bloody UI... pffff

"Tomas for someone who says he hates Interface Design.. you make a lot of interfaces." FU.....

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Meanwhile I've been upping the greebling game in #shipshaper.. and the mechanical bobs also determine the powe of your ship's engines. Also... love me an asymmetric crane.. #indiedev

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/... Sometimes folks just make really good looking realistic Tall Ships.. and then make screens that look like nautical paintings.. That is just sheer joy..

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Salvage that wreck.. now in beta on #shipshaper store.steampowered.com/app/4339280/... (just spend three days on this, cuz it had to be done) #indiedev

2264

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

#shipshaper are making steam locomotives.. I approve

4231

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Folks are making insanely detailed historical ships now..

2320

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

One thousand ships in the #shipshaper workshop! At a glance , submarines, the spacesip yamamoto, a viking longship, a fun whaleship, a Grand Ocean Liner and ooh so much more. and they keep on getting better.. 10 days since release, 1000 ships! #screenshotsatuday..

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Some days you just wanna make a cute steampunk coast guard patrol boat and cruise around... #screenshotsaturday

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Barely fits on two screens!! It's massive.. Haven't slept all week. Running low on redbull.. send help!!

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

It sails.. and which much greebly added. The current beta also adds WASD controls.. cuz you know.. Also new lamps, and a tripod fighting top, USS Texas style.. #shipshaper store.steampowered.com/app/4339280/...

0121

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Taller masts, and longer sprits, and then more stay sails.. Per request now live on #shipshaper beta.

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Another day another sandbox physics updated. Seems my little ramming vessel lacks punch.. and buoyancy.. #shipshaper

5243

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

I also added some height snapping to side props, so getting perfectly aligned windows... now a snap! (and on beta)

0110

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Working hard on the sandbox portion of #Shipshaper giving players more stuff to do with their designs. Improving the physics (hence the sinking etc) but also adding parts that boost engines. Decided to have a race between my fastest sailer and steamer. The steamer only won when turning upwind.

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Dive Dive! Add any diving rudder to your ship and you get the dive and submerge button. Cuz why not..

2617

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

You make modelling accessible and folks turn into 3D artist.. cuz this is both brilliant and beautiful. #shipshaper...... is it?

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Aaah my squadron of little tugs love me.. Even if their little buoyant physics interactions are draining my system..;)

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

it's sunday so added a slightly fantasy mortar and some falconeer point defences. And the Yamoto AA gun and a general purpose triple gun mount. Why aren't battleships orange? feels so right? #screenshotsaturday #indiedev

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

now they're making a fat entreprise:

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

So according to steam250. #shipshaper is the 7th best game on steam this week. I will take that as a win!

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

still cozy to me.. I don't understand why I never got into anything wholesome or cozy.. look at it.. cute guns on cute boat..

2321

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

yes a player just shared they rammed a squadron ship and it sunk... hmmmmm........ I should sleep.. cuz we have options and my mind is racing

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
