SHIPSHAPER LAUNCH

BUILD IT. SAIL IT. SHOW IT OFF!

ShipShaper launches into Steam Early Access on PC on September 2, and we want to see what you can create.

Request a launch key, enter the shipyard and build something unforgettable. Make it enormous, tiny, beautiful, historically inspired, completely ridiculous or gloriously impractical.

Once it is ready, take your creation sailing across the Great Ursee and show your community what happened.

WHAT IS SHIPSHAPER?

Created by BAFTA-nominated solo developer Tomas Sala, ShipShaper is a relaxing, free-form shipbuilding sandbox about the simple joy of designing boats.

Push, pull and shape your vessel without needing any 3D-modelling experience. Add sails, weapons, engines, decorations and unusual finishing touches to create anything from a humble fishing boat to an elaborate warship.

Your creations can also be:

• Sailed across the Great Ursee
• Shared through Steam Workshop
• Exported into Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles
• Exported for 3D printing
• Used in your own games and creative projects under a free commercial licence

WHAT CAN YOU CREATE?

LIVESTREAMS

Stream your build from the first piece to its maiden voyage. Let viewers influence your decisions, set challenges or watch as your increasingly questionable creation takes shape.

YOUTUBE VIDEOS

Create a challenge, build diary, tutorial, review or showcase. Recreate a famous vessel, test the limits of the building tools or reveal your finished ship before taking it onto the water.

SHORT-FORM VIDEOS

Create content for TikTok, YouTube Shorts or Instagram Reels. Show a transformation, reveal an unexpected creation, share a funny building moment or challenge yourself to make something wild.

Short-form videos should be at least 30 seconds long and include your own voice, commentary or on-camera reaction.

CREATIVE IDEAS

You could:

• Build the biggest, smallest or strangest ship possible
• Let your community choose every design decision
• Recreate a famous, historical or fictional vessel
• Build something that has absolutely no business floating
• Race against the clock to complete a ship
• Transform a terrible first attempt into something magnificent
• Export your creation into Bulwark
• Turn your digital ship into a real 3D print

These are starting points, not restrictions. Bring your own ideas, humour and style.

CONTENT GUIDELINES

• Make ShipShaper and your creation the clear focus
• Show the building tools, finished ship or sailing gameplay clearly
• Include your own genuine commentary, reactions or opinions
• Use your own recorded material or officially supplied campaign assets
• Encourage viewers to check out ShipShaper on Steam
• Disclose that your key was provided by Wired Productions

Please do not submit raw gameplay without commentary, recycled content, another creator’s footage, or AI-generated video, imagery, audio or voice-over.

Receiving a key does not require a positive response. Honest opinions are always welcome.

Low-effort, duplicated, mass-produced or minimally game-related submissions may not be approved, even if they meet the basic requirements.
