Fellow Shapeweavers,

We have an exciting, game-changing announcement:

Ephemeral Art: Shapeweaver is officially Free-to-Play on Steam starting today!

You can now download the complete, core creative engine and all fundamental tools absolutely free — no time limits, no paywalls on essential features. Our goal is to make Shapeweaver the ultimate accessible art playground for everyone.

🎨 What is FREE? The Unrestricted Base Game

The entire core experience that defines Shapeweaver is now available to every player, forever. This is not a demo; it's the full, powerful art sandbox.

  • ALL Core Creation Tools: Enjoy the Grab, Fuse/Unfuse, Undo/Redo, and the dedicated Full Edit Mode for total control over your creations.

  • Complete Physics Sandbox: Apply gravity, make shapes orbit, float weightlessly, and even introduce the chaos of Breakable Shapes and fusion—all for free.

  • Vast Core Library: Access a wide variety of shapes (circles, stars, hearts, etc.), the full customizable color palette, and all basic animation/effect types (Bounce, Spiral, Fade, Neon Aura).

  • Customizable Interface: Tailor your workspace with a flexible, resizable, and pinnable UI to optimize your creative flow.

  • 30 Animated Backgrounds: A huge selection of unique animated backdrops are included for free to set the mood for your art.

🚀 Monetizing Passion, Not Necessity

We are transitioning to a DLC model to fund future development while keeping the core experience free. Paid content is purely for expansion and personalization for the dedicated artist:
