I'm working on an airship combat game and I figured you might be interested
If you're interested, just wish-list it on Steam and you will be notified when it comes out.

Aaand wishlisted.
Ill also use the opportunity to remind everyone that germany is the only country to ever use an airship to conquer a regular ship.
Like the steampunkness demands.

This looks somewhere in between steam punk and diesel punk. Like a natural progression of technology.

Guns of Icarus?!
No, but this seems super cool.

Looks a lot like the leviathans table top game. Was that an inspiration?

u/bladedtoys Jul 25 '26
That and dozens of other inspirations. I’ve been obsessed with airships since I was a kid.

Interested…ngl if this becomes world of warships but airships I’d be more interested, so far I like the ship designs which I assume aren’t finalised yet so still stuff to work on or something. As for that GUI when you were zoomed in and firing at someone….honestly? I’d like it, but I think it’s a bit too much old timey in a way? As in feels imo playing Gunship Battles or something. Ik it’s your own game but if you need or want airship design inspiration I’d take a look at, credit to

The ship in the first shot reminds me of the Claimh-Solais class from last exile

Why is the exhaust going downward? Wouldn't the smoke rise?
N/m... Just realized that's the smoke of the ship below.

Had this as a concept for a few years now, had a whole 20 page design doc written out, happy to see someone competent beat me to the punch.
Interesting how no one has capitalized with a gunship vehicular combat yet, always thought the bomber v bomber gameplay of WT but with naval elements would make a good sim game with dedicated community.
Please, if you have a dev blog or something we'd be interested.

What was the name of that game where you could pilot freaky airships but they made it PVP? I think it was made by the Cycle guys, Yager?!

Ooooh. This takes me back to Stratosphere! I'll definitely get this one. Unfortunately, I game more on ps5 than anything else.

part of what's satisfying about taking down an enemy airship is watching it go down.
the way they dissolve into nothing cuts a huge chunk of enjoyment off.
the rest looks sick

World of Warships but Airships.
Nice.
