Devlog #1

Hello Ship Destroyers! 👋

Welcome Back to the Graveyard

We’re excited to start the first devlog for Ship Graveyard Simulator 3, the next chapter in the series dedicated to dismantling massive ships piece by piece. Over the years, many of you have spent hours exploring our scrapyards, cutting through steel and turning giant wrecks into valuable resources.

With the third installment, our goal is simple: expand everything players loved about the series while keeping the relaxing and satisfying gameplay at its core.

A New Chapter in Shipbreaking ⚓

Ship Graveyard Simulator 3 is a first-person simulation game where you manage and work at a shipbreaking yard. You’ll purchase ships, dismantle them, recover materials and decide how to use them.

The gameplay combines hands-on dismantling with resource management. Materials you obtain from ships can be sold, melted down in the forge, used for contracts or invested into developing your scrapyard.

A World Inspired by Reality 🌍

The game takes inspiration from Aliağa, Turkey, one of the most famous shipbreaking regions in the world.

When creating the game world, we looked closely at the atmosphere of real shipbreaking towns. This inspired us to build a small coastal town around the scrapyard, complete with NPCs and places that make the environment feel more alive and believable.

Relaxing and Satisfying Gameplay 🧰

One of the core ideas behind the series is relaxation through satisfying work. There are no strict time limits or pressure - players can choose their own pace.

Watching a massive ship slowly disappear as you dismantle it piece by piece gives a strong sense of progress and satisfaction, which remains at the heart of the experience.

Your Yard, Your Way

Ship Graveyard Simulator 3 gives players freedom in how they approach the game. You can sell materials immediately or plan strategically by melting, storing and investing them into developing your scrapyard.

Personalization also plays a larger role. Players will be able to upgrade tools, choose their trucks and customize parts of the scrapyard to better match their preferred playstyle.

What’s Next?

This is just the beginning of our devlog series. In the coming months we’ll share more details about gameplay mechanics, tools and machinery, ships and more.
