Hello r/pcmasterrace!
I’m Alice, working with tobspr Games, the developers of shapez 2! We previously hosted a couple of AMAs here and we loved hearing from you all and getting the chance to answer your questions. We released our biggest update yet yesterday – the Dimension Update - bringing some much-requested features to the game, and we thought it’d be a great time to host an AMA around the update and all things shapez 2.
We’ll also be giving away some exclusive merch and 4 Steam keys for the game (or the Supporter Edition DLC), so read on for more info on how to participate.
About shapez 2
shapez 2 is a top-down factory-building game where each shape is its own set of building blocks that your factories can take apart, stack, paint, and put back together in unique ways. Build and automate to produce increasingly complex shapes and solve the challenge of each goal. Create huge factories and connect them up with belts, launchers and even space trains! There is no combart and no resources to manage, so you’re free to experiment as you please. It’s a chill game that allows you to focus on the core of factory builders: satisfying production lines, optimize, and a never-ending need to grow the factory.
Shapez 2 has been an unprecedented success so far, surpassing our yearly goals in just the first few days of Early Access release. Thanks to our community, we’ve been able to continually work on the game, and now with the Dimension Update we’ve brought some features to the game that have made it even more massive. These features include 3D space platform building, a complete train overhaul (in functionality and cosmetics), QoL improvements, bug fixes, and much more.
We’re not stopping here – final release is getting closer and closer, and we’re continuing to work closely with our community to determine what features and changes we should add.
You can find shapez 2 on Steam here.
Ask us anything!
Feel free to ask us anything about the Dimension Update, shapez, our other games, game development, the game industry or just something funny. We’ll be around for about 2 hours, but may come back to answer some more later on.
The following accounts will be answering your questions:
- tobspr – Tobias Springer, Founder of tobspr Games, who is also behind the original shapez.io
- AliGD- (me) – Alice, Community Manager
- Blazy013 – Steph, Community Manager
Please keep in mind that we may not have time to answer every question. We’ll prioritize questions we haven’t had yet this AMA, so if yours isn’t answered, be sure to check the other questions and previous AMAs.
Giveaway
We’ve got a super exciting giveaway this time. One of our community members has designed and 3D printed some real-life shapes fidget toys. They’re magnetic and stackable, and super satisfying to mess around with. We’ll be giving 1 set away (4 layers of 4 shapes), in your choice of colors/shapes. Please note, to win this you must be US-based.
On top of this, we’ll also be giving away 4 Steam keys for shapez 2. If you’re already a shapez player, you can choose the Support Edition DLC instead, which includes the extended soundtrack and some exclusive train track pieces. Or, if you’re feeling charitable, you can give a key to a friend.
Anyone who asks a question will have a chance to win one (or two, if you’re the luckiest) of the prizes we’ll be giving away today, as long as your account is at least 30 days old.
The winners picked at the end of the AMA will receive a message from u/AliGD-. I’ll need a response from you before we send you a prize – both to confirm you’re real and to get the correct details.
Thanks to the mods of r/pcmasterrace and all of you guys for your time!
We're ending the AMA now! The winners of the 4 Steam keys are: u/Blackphantom434 (congrats - you also won the magnet set!!), u/Jackson7th, u/Salakay, and u/Wicetor. I'll message you all tomorrow so keep an eye on your inboxes :)
Thank you to everyone for participating, we loved hearing your questions and suggestions! See you at the next one ;)
