- ChangeLog v09.11 - 20 November 2015
Hi everyone, A new update launched for World Ship Simulator. Includes the following fixes: ChangeLog v 09.11 Fixed an issue where the game would temporarily freeze when leaving the harbour. This happened more frequently in the tug and & fishing boat. Increased draw distance of stationary ships. Fixed an issue where if the player broke their ship but was able to moor, they could enter the harbour and the message “your ship is broke” would remain on screen. Fixed an issue where if you go to the last waypoint before completing all objectives the “pending objective” window pops up. If you then crash the ship, failing the mission the “pending objective” text remains on screen. Increased the distance that would allow you to talk over the desk of NPC’s instead of needing to walk round their desk. Fixed a bug where the player can get stuck in a door in the cargo harbour Fixed an issue where if…

- What Would You Like To Do In World Ship Simulator? - 20 November 2015
Hi everyone, One of the most difficult objectives we face is providing the player with fun and interesting things to do inside the game. Many operations involve a point A to Point B structure. however, what we'd like to do is work on new types of missions. Perhaps these are rescue missions, firefighting missions, more interactivity with a trawler boat to catch fish. Perhaps there is a firework display and you need to find the best spot to weigh anchor to watch it? Please let us know your ideas as to what you would like to do while playing World Ship Simulator and we can do our best to work on these. All the best, Chris
