And you better take care of them, or they might catch a bullet.

Caribbean Legend Patch 1.3 and Black Mark DLC!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2230980/Caribbean_Legend/
One of the goals of Patch 1.3 was not only to rework the remaining player-favorite early-game ships but also to lay the groundwork for the planned boarding scenes. The ships turned out great.
New ships:
[/b]
Weve never created a quest this complex, non-linear, and intricate before. It has everything: new content with Mary and Helen, direct impact on the main storyline, cutscenes, crazy flashbacks, and valuable loot. The quest starts at the end of "The Dutch Gambit" and continues through to "Turtle Soup." No spoilerssee it for yourself.
Black Mark
A non-linear quest, designed for the early stages of the game, offering valuable rewards and nods to veterans of the "Sea Dogs" series. Available in both Story and Sandbox modes. Part of the "Black Mark" DLC .
Rewards include: a duelling double-barreled pistol, an Italian rapier, an Army broadsword, a Black Spot ward, armor, as well as a new officerTommy Irons, and the legendary Pink of Nicholas Sharp, the Principio. The Pink is stunning, but the true star of the DLC is Irons. He's got killer jokes.
However, we did update several old locations, especially those that significantly lagged behind the newer ones in quality.
Locations update:
We continue the challenging journey of bringing quests, battles, and cities life to life. The minimum program has already been fulfilled, and with Patch 1.5, we aim for something even more ambitious. Next-gen is just around the corner.
New animations:
Due to popular demand, Helen McArthur is now a fully-fledged character in Sandbox mode. She is compatible with the "Vile Little God" and "Black Mark" DLCs. She has unique dialogues in her hometown Blueweld, unique achievements, loot, and starts her pirate career on a war schooner.
For now, she doesnt carry a musket or visible armor, and there may be some "gender errors" :rofl_pirate: in the dialogues. Her development will continue in Patch 1.5, along with other Sandbox characters.
New notifications:
UI update:
We could have done it already, but it would have been too... simple? I want to create something special and worthy of Charles de Maure's storycall it a "directors cut" of his storyline, if you will. Plus, the game has long needed list of truly new mechanics, fixes for old ones, a complete rebalance, a new loot category, and a proper uplift of Sandbox mode. Not to mention improved controls, gamepad support, Steam Deck experience.
Patch 1.5 will take at least six months, and it will definitely require starting the new game. So for now, well take a short break, rest, and then get back to work.
Leave reviews steamthumbsup as blue as the Caribbean Sea, download the patch, buy the DLC and if youve been putting off playing the game for any reason, nows the perfect moment to start!
Coming soon...
:jollyr:
Ahoy!
The perfect moment to start playing Caribbean Legend!https://store.steampowered.com/app/2230980/Caribbean_Legend/
First, the important stuff:
- Patch 1.3 is available. We've never done anything like this before as a studio.
- Starting NG is not required. We recommend loading version 1.2.1 saves made while on land.
- Today marks the game's second 'release'Steam will be actively promoting it for two weeks.
- To celebrate, we've set a historic low price50% off.
- Now's the perfect moment to start playing if youve been holding off for any reason.
- Black Mark DLC is out now.
What's New:
Ships
One of the goals of Patch 1.3 was not only to rework the remaining player-favorite early-game ships but also to lay the groundwork for the planned boarding scenes. The ships turned out great.
New ships:
- The Valkyrie
- The Meifeng
- Fluyt
- War Schooner
- The Principio (DLC)
- Improved sail and rigging quality for all ships in the game.
[/b]
Quests
Extinguished StarWeve never created a quest this complex, non-linear, and intricate before. It has everything: new content with Mary and Helen, direct impact on the main storyline, cutscenes, crazy flashbacks, and valuable loot. The quest starts at the end of "The Dutch Gambit" and continues through to "Turtle Soup." No spoilerssee it for yourself.
Black Mark
A non-linear quest, designed for the early stages of the game, offering valuable rewards and nods to veterans of the "Sea Dogs" series. Available in both Story and Sandbox modes. Part of the "Black Mark" DLC .
Rewards include: a duelling double-barreled pistol, an Italian rapier, an Army broadsword, a Black Spot ward, armor, as well as a new officerTommy Irons, and the legendary Pink of Nicholas Sharp, the Principio. The Pink is stunning, but the true star of the DLC is Irons. He's got killer jokes.
Locations
No new locations in this patch, aside from a few scenes for the Longway quest. The boarding decks took up almost all of our time and will continue to do so. All four decks will be included in either Patch 1.3.1 or 1.5.However, we did update several old locations, especially those that significantly lagged behind the newer ones in quality.
Locations update:
- Locations and scenes for the "Extinguished Star" quest
- The Old Lighthouse
- Port Royal Lighthouse
- Several beaches
- Indian village
- Improved ground textures in towns.
Animations
We continue the challenging journey of bringing quests, battles, and cities life to life. The minimum program has already been fulfilled, and with Patch 1.5, we aim for something even more ambitious. Next-gen is just around the corner.
New animations:
- Unique animations for the "Extinguished Star" quest
- 7 new contextual death battle animations
- 2 prayer animations in churches
- 2 animations for drunks in towns
- Tavern musicians no longer drown out the games music
- Fishermen, blacksmiths, and musicians now work according to the time of day
New Hero
Due to popular demand, Helen McArthur is now a fully-fledged character in Sandbox mode. She is compatible with the "Vile Little God" and "Black Mark" DLCs. She has unique dialogues in her hometown Blueweld, unique achievements, loot, and starts her pirate career on a war schooner.
For now, she doesnt carry a musket or visible armor, and there may be some "gender errors" :rofl_pirate: in the dialogues. Her development will continue in Patch 1.5, along with other Sandbox characters.
Notification System
Traditionally, games in this series have never been known for being player-friendly or transparent, often requiring guides. What happened to my character? Why did I fail a dialogue check? What reward did I just receive? Any game needs to communicate with the playerand now Caribbean Legend does. I consider this the key feature of Patch 1.3.New notifications:
- Over 100 new format notifications on sea, land, and in dialogues
- Combat statusesfrom poisonings to critical damage
- Loot markersso far, only for plants in the jungle, but this is just the start
- Quest navigationso far, only for the beginning of the game
- More quest markers over characters and on the global map
- New tutorial videos for core game mechanics
Interface
Lets be honest, we have the best interface. But somehow, the list of fixes for it has already stretched to three pages. :rofl_pirate: The first half of the first page finally made it into Patch 1.3.UI update:
- Unlimited key remappingadjust the controls to your liking
- Control hints in loot, trade, and exchange windows
- Highlighting new entries in the ships log and documents
- Highlighting available skill points for characters
- Keeping the selected character when switching tabs between inventory and skills
- Displaying character roles in officer assignment windows
- Improved interaction with items in the inventory
- Added a DLC button in the menuif all are purchased, it will be inactive
Miscellaneous
- 13 achievements
- New ward
- New sword
- Automatic crash reports sending - let's see how bad it really is out there
- Longway can now carry muskets
- New dialogue camera
- Missing textures restored for some objects in the "Flying the Jolly Roger" quests
- Claude Durand now reliably triggers his loyalty event after a set time
- Obtaining a patent removes pirates from the crew
- Reputation no longer drops if the player exits "Flying the Jolly Roger" questline before Cartagena
- Fewer soldiers in towns, and they stop the player less often
- Chance to deceive the guards can no longer exceed 90%
- Governors no longer ask you to infiltrate friendly towns
- Passengers no longer ask to be taken to hostile towns
- "Iron Will" perk no longer allows intimidating officers
- Missing item descriptionsskill bonuses, etc.have been added
- Additional optimization of the tutorial on Martinique
- Spelling and grammar corrections - thanks to all reports you have been sharing on Discord
- Numerous bug fixes
- Improved overall game stability
1.5
Thats all for now! Over the past six months, weve done an incredible amount of work together. Weve done everything possible and even more. Except for the Story mode epilogue, of course.We could have done it already, but it would have been too... simple? I want to create something special and worthy of Charles de Maure's storycall it a "directors cut" of his storyline, if you will. Plus, the game has long needed list of truly new mechanics, fixes for old ones, a complete rebalance, a new loot category, and a proper uplift of Sandbox mode.

A grim tale about a village inhabited only by children!
Friends!
Greetings from the Valkyrie Initiative team.
We invite all fans of adventure games with horror elements into this grim, beautifully hand-drawn fairy tale.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2420350/_/
This story takes place in a village inhabited only by children who follow savage pagan traditions. Assume the role of a young witch named Kyrphel and experience all the hardships of witch life, discover the secrets of ancient rituals, explore the village and interact with its inhabitants.
Witchcraft, rituals, lies or sincerity - do whatever it takes, since the fate of the entire village depends on whether you succeed in the Great Ritual or not.
To celebrate the release, please watch the trailer before taking part in the Great ritual!
This project was developed by The Growing Stones, who spent two years gathering inspiration from fairy tales, myths, ancient religions, and beliefs in proud solitude.
Feel free to ask questions
Feel free to share your impressions and thoughts about the game on the Discord server.[ 2024-04-17 17:34:31 CET ] [Original Post]
Sea Dogs are back!
There is not much to say - buy it now on Steam while it's 25% off. Limited time offeronly two weeks and the next big discount will only be available in October.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2230980/Caribbean_Legend/
Now that we are done with salesmanship, what is Caribbean Legend? First of all, it is more than a game, it is a unique genre.
If you have played any of Sea Dogs games before, you probably already know everything about Caribbean Legend. Read this open letter , explaining our vision and our mission, and you are good to go for your pirate raid.
If you have never played any of the Sea Dogs games before, then I must inform you that they are known for being hard, clunky, and outdated. We've improved on each of these aspects, but they still exist and they can still ruin your day. If you manage to get through them... well, welcome to the best pirate game out there. It's true; how many games do you know which have all these mechanics?
That's right, not too many. Give Caribbean Legend a try, but be careful - if it clicks with you, you'll find yourself lost in the Golden Age of Caribbean piracy for several hundred hours.
:jollyr:

Thanks for 2023!
In 2023, after years of development, Mondealy has finally been released.
Without the support of the community, the game might never have been released, and by some miracle it was finished nonetheless, which honestly amazes me! The whole development process seems surreal now, I don't even know how I managed to create such a large project while basically being the only developer. But it would be wrong not to mention the many people who helped me along the way. My friends, acquaintances and fans, all of them somehow participated in the creation, even if only with a kind word. Special thanks go to the game's many musicians, who supported its unique and memorable style with their wonderful music. And of course thanks to each of you who are reading this text right now! A game without players can hardly be called a game. You are all very important to me!
Continuing with various thoughts - honestly, I expected something more from the game. Both from myself, in terms of its execution, and how it would prove itself upon release. And despite that, it could have been a lot worse! Many debut indie projects perform exceptionally poorly and barely break the ten sales mark. I'm lucky not to be on that extensive list of tragic projects and that's a great privilege. So, thank you to everyone who helped the game to become better known or created something related to it, even if there are not many of you, but I am very, very grateful to you all! I hope Mondealy has found its place in your hearts and was worth the wait.
The first few months after release I did nothing and rested, but I have a lot of plans and ideas that I want to execute with future projects. Some of them will be related to Mondealy characters, some won't, but I think you all have something to look forward to from me in the future. I will continue making games for many, many more years to come!
Thank you all! I hope to see you all in 2024! rufus_happy

Mondealy State of the Game - January 2023
[b]New Year's holidays are over, I had a lot of rest and procrastination, but still managed to do some useful things for the game. Also, another delay happened.
Presumably, the game could finally be ready either around May, or after the summer, I can't give any more specific dates, because I'm really, really bad with them, which was obvious from the previous delays.
But let's get to the good news and progress on the game![/b]
The beach connected very poorly with the rest of the game world, so I decided to tweak it and connect it better to the other location. Also, I have removed the roots of the Dargratt tree from location's upper half, since it doesn't reach the beach to that extent.
The beach has its own "music" too.
The time of day in the game is now not controlled by the story, but is fully dynamic. The lake scenery didn't fit this dynamic system, so I took some time to make a fully dynamic time change in the scenery itself as well.
This setting rarely shows up in pixel games, and indie games in general, but I managed to add it and it even seems to be stable.
If you have a high refresh rate monitor this will make the game much smoother!
Long time ago, followers would perfectly follow the path you traveled, including little zigzags and back and forth turns. I redesigned this system so that followers wouldn't blatantly follow you, repeating your path 1-to-1.
Later, I realized that small movements and turns in one place shouldn't cause a follower to run over behind you as well. Now they will wait quietly until you choose a new direction of movement.
Of course, you can now stop and just look at your follower. (They might even react to you staring at them)
The game's dynamic time of day change had its costs - the characters would simply disappear when daytime changes.
I was able to make a much more interesting experience out of this, and now the characters come and go to their places at a certain point.
This is just one example of this character behavior in the world, there will be more.
Certain things will once again lead the protagonist to the Water District, but in a new role.
Among other things, the Water District has now gotten a little bigger, going deeper towards the old factory.
I won't tell or show you much, but here's a screenshot.
During this quest, the Froga will be a follower and walk with you everywhere. You can learn a lot about her, the Water District, and more.
In the midst of many improvements, I haven't forgotten about the Forest District, which has been made even prettier. Even with new locations!
Characters can now look at the protagonist and follow him with their heads, within some distance. (This is a detail I looked up in Hollow Knight)
Character leaving the location as night falls.
The cars have a soft red glow from the taillights at night.
With a small chance, insects may fly out of the vegetation.
Hope you enjoyed this post! Over the past months full of rest and procrastination, I've done quite a few secondary things, so the main story still needs time. Nevertheless, the game is slowly but surely getting closer to release. Thank you, for your continued attention and love of the game!
Sincerely,
uglycoal

Changed the beach in front of the Water District
The beach connected very poorly with the rest of the game world, so I decided to tweak it and connect it better to the other location. Also, I have removed the roots of the Dargratt tree from location's upper half, since it doesn't reach the beach to that extent.
The beach has its own "music" too.
The scenery on the lake now changes in real time
The time of day in the game is now not controlled by the story, but is fully dynamic. The lake scenery didn't fit this dynamic system, so I took some time to make a fully dynamic time change in the scenery itself as well.
FPS setting
This setting rarely shows up in pixel games, and indie games in general, but I managed to add it and it even seems to be stable.
If you have a high refresh rate monitor this will make the game much smoother!
Improved follower movement
Long time ago, followers would perfectly follow the path you traveled, including little zigzags and back and forth turns. I redesigned this system so that followers wouldn't blatantly follow you, repeating your path 1-to-1.
Later, I realized that small movements and turns in one place shouldn't cause a follower to run over behind you as well. Now they will wait quietly until you choose a new direction of movement.
Of course, you can now stop and just look at your follower. (They might even react to you staring at them)
Improved surface characters
The game's dynamic time of day change had its costs - the characters would simply disappear when daytime changes.
I was able to make a much more interesting experience out of this, and now the characters come and go to their places at a certain point.
This is just one example of this character behavior in the world, there will be more.
Story Progress
Certain things will once again lead the protagonist to the Water District, but in a new role.
Water District expansion
Among other things, the Water District has now gotten a little bigger, going deeper towards the old factory.
Draft for a quest with Froga
I won't tell or show you much, but here's a screenshot.
During this quest, the Froga will be a follower and walk with you everywhere. You can learn a lot about her, the Water District, and more.
Changes in the Forest District

Other improvements
Characters can now look at the protagonist and follow him with their heads, within some distance. (This is a detail I looked up in Hollow Knight)
Character leaving the location as night falls.
The cars have a soft red glow from the taillights at night.
With a small chance, insects may fly out of the vegetation.

Mondealy State of the Game - November 2022
I've spent the past month focusing on the story, improving the old work in progress, and all sorts of other little things. This post will be smaller than the previous one, since there's a lot I can't show you, but here goes anyway!
Sometimes, I felt that text data alone wasn't enough, so I added a little picture to the saves, created at the moment of saving. And then I also cut the loading screen and replaced it with a smooth transition from that picture to the game (loading is almost instantaneous).
These pictures have size less than <200kb per file, usually much less, so don't worry about them taking up a lot of space.
(And you can also replace the pictures and play the animations right inside the game. Can someone try running a full Bad Apple clip?)
I finally understood the positional audio in GameMaker and added it to some of the sources in the game - footsteps, bushes, flowers. It adds some depth to the scene.
Here's a video with the sound.
All of Rufus' room graphics have been updated. Also made them easier for me to create myself, since I had vague plans to create some sort of "contests" to add fan-designed locations to these rooms, something like yume 2kki. Tell me what you think about it in the comments.
Throughout development, Rufus has been changing, transforming, and it's happened again. This is probably the final version of him, as I really like it.
I've made this change because he is playing a role in the story again.
One of the more unusual news in the past month is the creation of this model, which can create characters in the style of portraits from Mondealy. It's not particularly valuable or useful, but you can have some fun anyway.

Hello, dear players!
I've spent the past month focusing on the story, improving the old work in progress, and all sorts of other little things. This post will be smaller than the previous one, since there's a lot I can't show you, but here goes anyway!
Improvements to the Save Menu
Sometimes, I felt that text data alone wasn't enough, so I added a little picture to the saves, created at the moment of saving. And then I also cut the loading screen and replaced it with a smooth transition from that picture to the game (loading is almost instantaneous).
These pictures have size less than <200kb per file, usually much less, so don't worry about them taking up a lot of space.
(And you can also replace the pictures and play the animations right inside the game. Can someone try running a full Bad Apple clip?)
Positional Audio
I finally understood the positional audio in GameMaker and added it to some of the sources in the game - footsteps, bushes, flowers. It adds some depth to the scene.
Here's a video with the sound.
Improved Rufus' Rooms
All of Rufus' room graphics have been updated. Also made them easier for me to create myself, since I had vague plans to create some sort of "contests" to add fan-designed locations to these rooms, something like yume 2kki. Tell me what you think about it in the comments.
Rufus' Portraits Updated Again
Throughout development, Rufus has been changing, transforming, and it's happened again. This is probably the final version of him, as I really like it.
I've made this change because he is playing a role in the story again.
Model for Stable Diffusion fine-tuned on portraits from Mondealy
One of the more unusual news in the past month is the creation of this model, which can create characters in the style of portraits from Mondealy. It's not particularly valuable or useful, but you can have some fun anyway.

Mondealy State of the Game - October 2022
As much as I would love to create posts like this monthly, it doesn't always work out. Since then another person has joined the development team and is helping me with some aspects of the game, but it will only speed up development a little. The game now has an incredible number of people working on it - two! In the game itself, a huge number of different things have appeared or improved. Here are many things I can share without spoilers...
The beginning greatly affects the overall impression of the game and whether or not it will draw the player in. Therefore, a lot of effort had to be taken away from the development of the main story to make intro the right length and more interesting. At the same time, the name of the Day One demo will now be justified, because it will really only have the first day (and not three as before)
Despite its natural beauty, the Forest District was hardly a point of attraction, not even for a pretty screenshot! Now that's not the case - by experimenting, we managed to create this kind of beauty:
There's even a little lake there!
After the release of Mondealy, it's demo version Mondealy: Day One will remain free and it will include an absolutely identical beginning to the full version.
The Day One version's achievements will be removed from Steam so as not to duplicate them between the two games.
In addition, the gallery and achievement menus will be locked in Day One.
But, the good news! You'll be able to port the gallery progress, achievements, and saves from the demo to the full game.
The game already has Russian and English versions of all signs, banners, and other in-game stuff. And then I realized that the game won't be limited to these languages! And in general, the fan-made, even joke-based variants will only get better if they can translate the game sprites as well!
Now it's possible, also in real time!
(Text translations remain as easy as they were. Unlike some other games)
I really disliked the hints system in the old demo. It was a phone with oddly worded hints about what to do. At first I removed that element entirely, but later I realized that the hints were too important an aspect of player comfort to be thrown away like that. So I came up with something new:
After opening the hint menu by holding Q, you will see the hero's thoughts. Coincidentally, he's only thinking about how to go through the main story! (There is no specific hint in this gif)
Secondary quests will have no such hints.
In the old demo, the gallery opened in real time and with all the character slides. Something I didn't like about this system, so I decided to redesign it.
Now, during the first playthrough, every single interaction with a character (i.e. a conversation) will open them in the gallery. And it, in turn, will only be unlocked after you finish the game once. But don't worry, you'll be able to see who's locked and unlocked during the gameplay.
The demo had two kinds of lighting, simplified and unsimplified, this created a lot of development difficulties and I decided to remove the simplified lighting from the game. Now, it will be prettier, but probably perform worse on the weakest of computers.
In addition, it will be possible to disable other shaders, which can put a strain on not the weakest computers as well.
The game is about 70% complete. At the moment, I'm finalizing segments with Tori the deer, a character who doesn't appear in the demo. After that, there will be an extensive segment in the Water District and its new locations, and beyond that... And beyond that, you'll find out in the full game. I hope its pre-final segment doesn't disappoint you, as it seems extremely experimental to me.
Not every character has enough screen time, so I plan to add additional storylines with some of them. As part of these "quests", you'll be able to get to know the characters better, in locations separate from the main world (the game doesn't become a dating simulator, it's still an adventure).
This came to my mind after finishing Night in the Woods (cool game!)
(Yes, Froga is very tall)
Gaming communities like to collect old versions of game graphics. Also, they sometimes make fan content that uses the original game graphics. To save you the trouble of digging out all the sprites somehow, I plan to open up a GitHub repository containing the game graphics and all their older versions when the full game is released.
You'd get all those sprites anyway, so you'd better let me give you convenient access to them.

Time flies by. But the work goes on, and the game is getting closer to completion. And the recent delay has given me confidence in my abilities! I hope to deliver the best possible product. Thank you for your love and patient waiting!
Sincerely,
uglycoal
