The New World Map

Hello everyone, and thank you so much for all the great feedback during (and after) Steam Next Fest. I want to let you know that I have addressed many of the things you provided feedback on, and first up is one major change! :)

The World Map is no longer "point-based" but a free (bigger) and open map. You can control your ship and must ensure it does not crash into islands, rocks, icebergs, or other dangers. The enemies are visible ships, some of which will hunt you down if you get too close, while others mind their own business until provoked or plundered. There are still lots of features I want to add to the new World Map, but here is a look at how it is right now: [previewyoutube=z4ddC99Ov2A;full][/previewyoutube] A list of some functions available on the World Map:

Ship speed ranges from 0 to 14 knots (max), with wind providing a bonus or penalty.
Ship max speed is based on the ship type.
Death or crew loss can occur on the World Map.
Encounters with merchants are possible.
Loot can be found.
Obstacles must be avoided.
Crashing into an iceberg can remove it as an obstacle, but it inflicts significant damage unless you have an icebreaker!
Enemy ships may pursue you if provoked or for other reasons.

Other functions I am testing, but still not sure will make it to the full version:

Using a cannon on the World Map to harm enemies.

Again, thank you so much for all the feedback! I look forward to continuing working on Seablip! :) - Jardar

Seablip is an ambitious pirate RPG, created by solo developer Jardar.

Seablip features an open world map containing many islands to explore, enemies to fight, and treasures to find. Plunder and sink enemy vessels on your path to become a feared pirate, and discover hidden secrets waiting to be discovered as you sail the sea.

Upgrade Your Ship

Increasing the size and quality of your ship is a crucial part of the game, by buying a better one or by upgrading your existing one.
There are more than 48 upgrades (cannons and other special upgrades) for your ship.
Many of the upgrades offer unique attack/defense specialties: hull breach, fire, poison gas, magic shield, and more.
Experiment with combining certain effects such as water and electricity to give you the edge in battle.
Discover new combinations to maximize your offensive and defensive options, and help you survive.

Hire Sailors

Each sailor in Seablip is unique and there is a limited number, so treat them well!
When sailors level up they will earn points to spend on attributes such as Health, Luck, and intelligence.
As they progress, sailors can learn two random skills that can be used to aid them in each battle encounter.
Different battle bonuses are given depending on the faction the sailor belongs to. Pirates, Redcoats, and Bluecoats are some of the factions you’ll come across throughout the game.

Bounty Hunter

Confront the scourge of the seas as you face off against seven bosses in Seablip (more coming soon), each possessing a unique tactic and ship.
While you are free to roam as you please, defeating all the bosses is the main objective in the current Early Access version.

Minigames

Cast your line and reel in your catch in a robust fishing minigame, as you take a break from conquering the sea.
Discover hidden secrets and treasure, and generally get up to no good as you use your excellent lockpicking skills to great effect.
Other smaller minigames are in development, and will be worked on and improved with the help of the community!
