Art Books for Sale!
Our art books are now on sale! This is the only printing we will ever do of the art books, as this was a reward for our Kickstarter backers. We're selling the surplus, so the supply is very limited. Anyone who gets an art book will also get stickers of Rico & Flint, and the first ten customers will get stickers of Lark & Carlota as well! This is limited to Canada and the US. You can get an artbook (and the bonus stickers) on our website.
Game Update!
This is the final planned update! It's very small, but we hope it will help new players. The update includes:
- An in-game lexicon: players can click on words or phrases that are in other languages or are archaic for definitions or context (we've also remove some words that didn't need to be in Spanish in the first place). Players can choose whether these words are underlined or not from the options menu.
- Updated tutorial: The tutorials are text-based rather than image-based for screen-readers. There's one tutorial for the dictionary and another for dialogue options. Players will have the option to view the tutorial, skip it, or skip all tutorials. The tutorials can now be accessed at any time from the options menu.
- Updated splash screen: We've updated the splash screen to reflect our new logo. It's cute!

We've added a bunch of Chibi CGs, bringing the total to nine, three for each LI. If you've already finished the game and want to quickly unlock the CGs, check the gallery to get an idea of where the CG occurs. Flint has one CG in the prologue during the drinking scene, and the rest are on the main routes of each respective LI. Additionally, we've added a tooltip so that when you hover over Carlota's personality meters, the name of each meter will appear over your mouse.

Story
Set in early 17th century, just before the Pirate Golden Age, The Spanish Privateer places you in the shoes of Isabel Carlota de Castilla (but you can just call her Carlota). Carlota is an 18-year-old runaway escaping a marriage forced upon her by her parents. Not able to afford passage on a ship, Carlota offers to work for her voyage aboard Captain Rico's ship, La Aguja. Captain Rico is a privateer, a pirate with a letter of marque allowing him to attack and capture the enemies of Spain. Carlota soon falls in love with the sea, and challenges herself to become a valuable member of the ship.
Amidst sword fights, balls, and drunken nights at the tavern, Carlota learns more about her fellow crew members and the world outside Spain. Visits to the archipelago of Azores, cities in the Caribbean and Veracruz, New Spain, teach Carlota about the effects of colonization and make her question her contribution and power aboard the Spanish ship.
No matter which route you travel down, Carlota must overcome her male crew members' prejudices, earning their respect with her hard work, determination, and intelligence.

LarkHalf Scottish, half Spanish, and entirely charming. Lark is a hired bard whose job is to entertain the men—and he takes liberty to entertain the women, as well. His specialty is playing the lute.
Flint
Flint is the ship’s quartermaster and protector. Fiercely loyal to the captain, Flint is equally distrustful of women. His specialty is gunnery.
Rico
Hailing from Puerto Rico, Captain Rico is no stranger to the sea. His kind and forgiving persona hides the past which granted him his scar. His specialty is swordfighting.
