Dear Stormworkers,
Stormworks has just released and is now available on Steam Early Access!
After 4 years of development, and with your support and feedback, we have made it to this milestone! Thank you for your support, and thank you to all the players who have given us their feedback, posted their creations on the workshop, and been active in the community. This is just the beginning for Stormworks, development is continuing as always, and there is a vast ocean of ideas and features ahead. We are really excited to continue making the community's ideas and feedback a reality in the game.
4 Player Cooperative Multiplayer!
In the release, is the multiplayer alpha. You can play in creative mode as a team of up to 4 friends. We are really enjoying multiplayer, and we are still working on this feature, so if you have any ideas or issues, please let us know using the feature / bug buttons on the in game menu.
Much love <3
