So the steam frame is releasing..
And having been working with it over the last year I can finally discuss it..
TLDR:
Great tethered, underpowered for stand-alone use as most games wont run well.

Working hard on the sandbox portion of #Shipshaper giving players more stuff to do with their designs.
Improving the physics (hence the sinking etc) but also adding parts that boost engines. Decided to have a race between my fastest sailer and steamer. The steamer only won when turning upwind.
