Gimbal is the multiplayer shooter with buildable vehicles. Customize your weaponry, engines, and accessories, and then take to the skies against other pilots in real time.
It plays a bit like Subspace/Continuum. Players attack the enemy team to eliminate them or destroy their carrier. As they play, they earn money to build better ships. 60+ parts are available, including engines, weapons, sensors, and aerodynamics. Additionally, players can share their ships as images over the internet (ship data is stored in PNG metadata).
On to the screenshots!

Any plans to make a map editor for player use? I know feature creep is taboo in game development, but it would be awesome to be able to set up checkpoints in an obstacle course, and do some racing. (Carmageddon style racing, of course)
Voted you up on greenlight!
1. Expansion: There are just a couple weeks of dev/testing left for the Gimbal Expansion (Beta) features. Some of you have been in on this, so you know what it is. You'll have to wait until the actual release for the complete feature listing, but there will be more parts and popular game modes such as Capture-the-Flag, to really flesh out the game. There is no charge for the expansion- It's just a very large release.
2. Cheap Gimbal: Gimbal is now part of the IndieGala Mass Effect Bundle for the next 11 days. It's Pay-What-You-Want, but you need to beat the price threshold to get Gimbal and Mass Effect 2, among others.
It is with great pleasure that I announce the release of Gimbal Expansion One! It has taken many months of Beta testing and development, but Expansion One is now here. Thank you, Beta Testers!
This is the largest release of Gimbal features since Gimbal's original launch in August 2012. Expansion One has new game modes, weapons, and features which work together to bring Gimbal in line with my original vision.
It's a free update to Gimbal, so all you have to do is launch Gimbal and let the automatic updater do its thing.
