Epic Naval Battle Simulator 2.0, Over hall update!

I’ve been hard at work on an update… which turned into something much bigger than expected. In fact, I ended up re-coding the entire game from the ground up.

With that said, there are a few big changes. Future ships and online mode are no longer part of the game—for now. Future ships will return at some point, and online mode may come back as well, but it will better match the core gameplay instead of the old third-person ship shooter style. Online play is still a long way off.

So, what is coming in this update? Steam post image A brand new UI (you can already see part of it in the new main menu!)

• The rest of the menus will be revealed in the update video

• All ships have been completely rebuilt using Shipshaper

• New ship movement system

• Ironclads can now damage each other (for balance)

• Time controls: pause, play, and fast-forward

• A new game mode: Campaign

  • Start with 6 points

  • Gain +1 point per win

  • Keep going until you lose

  • Currently includes Age of Sail, with Ironclad Campaign coming later

Other improvements:

• Removed the old top/bottom ship UI — now it’s just a clean bottom bar

• Ships now auto-assign teams when placed

• Updated camera system

  • Placement works the same

  • Battles now use a free cam

I’m aiming to release ENBS 2.0 later this month if all goes well —just a few things left to finish up.

I can’t wait for you all to see it.

See you on the seas, o7
