| Update #8 - Prettier Backgrounds and Steam Workshop! | 2015-11-23 | Hey gang, update #8 is out NOW and we've got bunch of news to share about the rest of the project! So what's in this update? First up, we focused on improving ship sharing by adding Steam Workshop support. Sharing ships was a much beloved part of the original Captain Forever games, and so with Remix we wanted to make it easier than ever to share your ships with your friends and the community. So go check out the Workshop: we’ve already shared a bunch of awesome ships for you to check out! Next: the game looks about 3000% better now (this is accurate. I did the math). There’s been a massive overhaul of all of our foreground and background effe |

| Update #7: Captain Forever in the Cloud! | 2015-10-01 | By popular demand: we now support saving to Steam Cloud! This means that your game progress, ship history, and favorite ships should automatically sync between any same-platform computers where you play Captain Forever Remix. To support Steam Cloud saves, we had to monkey with the save game system a bit. We believe that any progress you made prior to this update should carry over to the new system without issue! If you have past progress that somehow isn't carrying over, let us know and we'll attempt to fix it! (We're pretty sure it's still there...just hiding, not gone forever.) We want to make sure this system is working robustly, so holler |

| Ship Bits Mega Week - Saturday! | 2015-07-11 | http://i.imgur.com/yT7MLMA.png Today we're announcing SIX (whoa, six!) new Ship Bits! They're a group of new bulkhead types called POWER BULKHEADS! And they completely change how the game is played. Here they are: http://i.imgur.com/agnHwDm.png Each one gives you a boost for unique special powers. So for example "Knockout" gives you the chance to stun your enemies when you damage them, and having more "Knockout" bulkheads on your ship will increase the chance for that to happen. Power Bulkheads are carried by high-level enemies, so you'll want to be extra careful picking their ships apart so that you don't destroy them during the battle. Reme |

| Ship Bits Mega Week Day 4 | 2015-07-10 | http://i.imgur.com/EULISbG.png It's Ship Bits Mega Week Day 4! Today we've got a new weapon that some have speculated to be a lizard or reptile of some kind, and a new bulkhead type! First, the bulkhead. The Jumbo Bulkhead Lite is just like the Jumbo Bulkhead you know and love, except this one is way more lightweight. Finally you can build massive ships that can still move around! Just don't forget to add lots of weapons. http://i.imgur.com/q76zj4Y.gif And now the one you've all been waiting for...the DRAGON BREATH! You don't *have* to attach these to a ship that's shaped like a dragon, but it doesn't hurt! http://i.imgur.com/gZ8glis.gif Ship |

| It's SHIP BITS MEGA WEEK DAY 3! | 2015-07-09 | http://i.imgur.com/rS5qB0S.png NEW SHIP BITS! JOY! First up we've got the MINE POPPER! Wait for it...wait for it...wait for it...POP GOES THE SPACESHIP! http://i.imgur.com/xnGM7l6.gif The Mine Popper shoots cute little mines that pack a punch! You don't want to be around when they go off. We recommend using Twin Thrusters so that you can back away slowly after firing a couple of these puppies off towards Kevin's Krusaders. Next up: Extra Long Repair Bulkheads! http://i.imgur.com/zs4QK3y.png Ever wished Repair Bulkheads had more slots to plug your busted-up Ship Bits (tm) into? Well then, check these out! And check out that Bonus Fact: Repair |

Create bullet hell for your enemies! http://i.imgur.com/LVi6RIo.gif What's that insanely massive "boom" I just heard out here in space? It's the MEGA BOOM ROCKET! You'll only need one...but six is more fun! http://i.imgur.com/jSoaR0v.gif The Mega Boom Rocket fires massive rockets. They're really big and slow, so shooting them out of the sky isn't too much trouble...and you'll want to do that, because when one of these explodes it deals MASSIVE damage in a really large radius. It's dangerous! Keep it pointed away from your fac |

| It's SHIP BIT MEGA WEEK! Update #5 is on the way! | 2015-07-07 | http://i.imgur.com/iP4l30D.png Hey gang! Welcome to the SHIP BITS MEGA WEEK! Next Monday July 13th we’re releasing our biggest update yet. There’s so much stuff in it that we realized we can’t dump it on you all at once - it would break your brain. And you can’t play Captain Forever Remix with a broken brain! Trust me, I’ve seen it happen, and those were the most poorly built spaceships I’ve ever seen. So instead we’re going to carefully drip-feed awesome surprises throughout this week, which we have dubbed the SHIP BIT MEGA WEEK! So check back every day for more info about next Monday’s update! -Dean |
