I was fresh out of ideas for interesting Character Creator games that I could make, until I realized that ship builders are basically character creators with parts. The jam's creative theme was "Unintended Consequences", which made me think of games like Starlink: The Battle for Atlas where if you add a ton of wings and things to your ship you'll end up with a real clunker, so I decided to make something like that. As an added bonus, this gave me the opportunity to finally learn how to make games in 3D in Game Maker Studio 2 (if you're wondering how that went--No comment).

This is really cool! There's a few oversights in the building rules that honestly make a really funny looking ship too lol.
Thanks! I'm aware of those, but I kind of like the funny ships so I probably won't fix it lol
