Hello everyone, I am thrilled to give everyone who cant wait a chance to join the unstable Castle Update! The new update brings a whole new type of challenge with the new Castle mode. I am excited to see how it plays for you!

For me, there is still content to be created and bugs to be squashed before it goes stable, but it is also a valuable opportunity to gather feedback on the new balance in the game and to tune up the fun. I have done major updates in how enemies select ship and castle equipment, how enemies use skill points, among other changes. I think it offers more challenges, but also a more stable experience for everyone - with this update, it is now possible for me to start working on a custom difficulty setting that can bring even more challenge to the hard-winded sailors, or a softer experience for those who want to have a more chill experience. I will carefully read your feedback on the new enemy balance and try to work on this feature with that feedback in mind, but first priority is to fine-tune the normal setting.
