Abandon Ship is now Version 1.0!

Important and exciting news, Captain - Abandon Ship has graduated from Early Access and has reached version 1.0!

Here's our launch trailer:

It's been a fantastic journey, and we'd like to extend our thanks to all those that have supported us and provided valuable feedback. It's helped shape Abandon Ship into the game it is today. On a personal note, I'm extremely proud of what such a tiny team has achieved.

The game has received a lot of testing throughout Early Access, but there is nothing like a huge swathe of new players to flush out weird bugs! In the event you're struggling with anything, you have a few options to reach us:

  • The Steam forums - there is a pinned post on our bug forum here with common compatibility issues. The steps here solves the vast majority of problems. If that or any other post doesn't help, create a new one, or reach us on one of the following places...
  • Our Discord
  • Our support email address: [email protected]

I'll be manning all these channels most of the time so I should respond promptly - please bear in mind I'm in the UK, so during sleeping hours the response will be longer :)

If you're wondering what new content you can expect in Version 1.0, you can check out this post here:

Remember that if you want to enjoy all this new content, you'll need to start a new game. However if you wish to continue playing your previous save, you can do so by syncing to "0.5.13007 - Sword of the Cult Version" on the Beta Branches system. Instructions on how to do that are here. There are quick-starts in the campaigns to get a head start if you wish.

If you're returning to the game after a while, and are curious what has been added during Early Access, all of our Major Updates are listed here for your perusal:

We'll still continue adding cool stuff to the game, certainly as long as the community wants more - so if you like the game, tell us by leaving a review!

Thanks again for all the support, you're the best :)
