World Ship Simulator will differ in quite a few ways and below are just a few bullet points to list what we will have when it launches For that reason we have the following in place.Īnyone who has purchased European Ship Simulator up to the release of World Ship Simulator, will be given World Ship Simulator for free. While we have spent time and resources to develop a new game with a new developer, we do feel we should have communicated more effectively what was happening behind the scenes of European Ship Simulator. The game has been for the last month been titled “World Ship Simulator” and will release during Early Access at a similar stage of playability that European Ship Simulator had become. So, the game evolved and became its own game, using perhaps some existing models (though retextured to increase performance) and using the same water engine. However upon receiving the source code, the new developer had asked us if they could start the project again so that they can implement new features much more effectively without the restrictions of using the previous code. We should have communicated this earlier, though when we started the search for a new development team to take over, we were expecting the turnaround for the new developer to take over the project to be much shorter. This resulted in a hunt to locate a new development team to take over the rest of the development process. We would like to let everyone know why we have been pretty quiet over the past few months.ĭuring the Early Access period of European Ship Simulator, negotiations with the developer had broken down and this meant we were unable to support the game further.
