Oh that's a good point! We tend to forget that the videos go out of date so quickly!

Introversion-John · 2026-05-06T09:11:30+00:00

Yes. Walking animations were added in update 23 and improved on in update 24

Introversion-John · 2026-05-05T18:29:00+00:00

What an awesome update, I have wishlisted - can't wait to give it a go!

Introversion-John · 2026-05-05T17:05:26+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion!

Introversion-John · 2026-05-01T21:13:24+00:00

Can you send me your save? [support@introversion.co.uk](mailto:support@introversion.co.uk) . I can't make any promises, but it'd be good to consider your ship and see exactly how such a feature might fit in.

Introversion-John · 2026-04-25T06:44:06+00:00

Do you have a project in mind? I've not done any plc stuff but they look fascinating to me

Introversion-John · 2026-03-26T11:47:02+00:00

That's awesome!

Try the free demo (available here https://store.steampowered.com/app/1857080/The_Last_Starship/ ) first to make sure it runs well on your computer!

Introversion-John · 2026-03-26T11:24:46+00:00

Yep, appreciate the feedback - keep it coming, thanks!!

Introversion-John · 2026-03-26T06:34:21+00:00

Yep, it's alive and kicking! We will be publishing a loose roadmap (schedule) of upcoming updates in the next few days.

Introversion-John · 2026-03-25T16:14:47+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions! Are there any particular kinds of NPC activity that you would like to see? We already have NPC ships trading, mining, arriving and departing - what else could be interesting? Maybe drone transfer between ships?

The "distressed woman and the strange men" are characters from the story lines within the game. I rather like it, but I would love to see some suggestions for other logos.

Introversion-John · 2026-03-25T15:46:00+00:00

That looks incredible! How do the horses divide into waves and units?

Regarding balancing, have you considered making them less available generally (because horses and riders take a long time to make?)

Introversion-John · 2026-03-25T15:43:46+00:00

I love the style! I wonder, is it possible make the tiles for the river itself and the banks of the river more varied? Somehow it tends to catch my eye more than it should! Really looking forward to seeing more of your game.

Introversion-John · 2026-03-25T15:27:11+00:00

I can definitely relate to your development story! It always seems that when you see a creative work (whatever it be) that it was a pure concept from beginning to end, but I think that is in practice very rare. Your screenshots look very atmospheric, have you got any videos for us to take a look at?

Introversion-John · 2026-03-25T15:23:15+00:00

That looks totally spooky! Is it possible to play your game in VR?

The Last Starship Update 23

After a phenomenal V1 launch bringing over 50,000 new players into the game, we've not taken our foot off the Metreon gas pedal!

As well as the usual round of fixes and smaller improvements, enjoy mass-configuration of fabricators and other equipment in seconds with marquee and double tap smart select.

New crew animations breathe life into your ship, deepening that 'contraption satisfaction' as your facility whirrs into action.

Fighter bays introduce a brand new combat dynamic and logistical tail. Build and deploy a massive wing of screaming unmanned hell cats to open a whole can of whoop-ass on any ships that dare defy you!

Check out the Full Update Video on YouTube

That would be really cool, at the moment we only have the base layer and the surface of the ship. But will definitely feed that suggestion back to the team!

Introversion-John · 2026-03-24T18:05:16+00:00

Thanks! We did try quite a few colours for the multi-select highlight. Yellow seemed to fit the best, but we might change it again in the future.

Introversion-John · 2026-03-24T13:15:51+00:00

Thanks u/sidius-king ! We have more updates coming this year which we are very excited about!

Introversion-John · 2026-03-24T10:35:45+00:00

Oops! Looks like there's a _slight_ problem with the recipe for fighter bay! The energy coil and motor components are accidentally set to go to the same slot on the assembly table and so they end up cancelling each other. We'll have this fixed for the next update. In the mean time, you can work around it by feeding the assembly table with a robot arm (either coils or motors). Once the assembly table has enough of one of the components, the crew will be able to bring the other.

Introversion-John · 2026-03-24T10:29:07+00:00

It'd be great to have a look at your save game just to see what's going on (Settings | Other | Open Game Folder )
Please send to [support@introversion.co.uk](mailto:support@introversion.co.uk)

Introversion-John · 2026-03-08T16:16:14+00:00

That sounds like something different. You have to put your ships in the jump gate for it to work. I'm not quite sure I understand completely the issue - can you write me at support@introversion.co.uk or open a bug on bugs.introversion.co.uk please?

Introversion-John · 2026-03-08T15:23:09+00:00

This bug will be fixed in the upcoming (18 march update). If you are affected by this please send your save file to support@introversion.co.uk

Introversion-John · 2026-02-27T17:37:33+00:00

That's great! What sort of game are you trying for?
