Patch Notes: First Two Days
- The game will now automatically pause when you open your inventory, town UI or world map in single player. - Added a /limit # command that will limit the number of people able to enter your instances. Default limit is now 16, value 2 to 32. - Added a ship sale confirmation dialog to prevent players from accidentally selling ships. - Combat instance icons will no longer show on the world map if they can't be entered anymore (due to limit being reached). - Added player count/max indicator to the combat instance tooltips. - Increased quest reward monetary value for mid to high level players, making quests more lucrative. - Grog effect particles now get automatically reduced when there are a lot of players to help improve performance. - Added a /uisize # command, where # is a value you want your UI height to be. For example 1080 will force it to 1080p regardless of resolution. '0' to reset. - Fixed 4-skull kings not spawning in higher tier ships, and instead matching your own. - Fixed connecting to friend's game via P2P not working until you opened the server list, agreeing to the disclaimer.
- Players now start as Free Navy rather than Independent, so the FN faction rep buff will be applied properly. - Starter regions now have base security of 80% instead of 0%, making them a lot more chill. - Decreased pirate incursion chance by 75%, making all regions safer. - Changed priority of non-essential sounds to remove them from audio queue. This should help audio work properly in high-pop instances. - Fixed the Bilander quest not consuming gathered items. - Added clarification to the starter dialog that the initial choice is for the starting location, not player faction. - Possible fix for NPCs getting stuck on the world map. - Galleon quest is no longer shared with others upon entering the province. - Lani's lockbox fishing quest drop chance now goes up by 10% every time you fish/dive to help players find it faster. - Increased the number of towns players can settle (towns, not provinces!) - Starter regions in new worlds will now be large size rather than medium, giving you more space. - Back-end network packet reduction for ships traveling the world and their pathfinding. - Lani's quest now gives both fishing and diving skills for those doing it. - Several story conversations will now automatically trigger follow-ups with the correct NPC without you having to seek them out first. - Salvage recovery free ship reward no longer requires you to have an empty quest log.
- Fixed docked ships becoming invisible after logging out, with a chance of losing them later if relogged. - Added a warning about Steam Cloud being disabled. Game needs it on to save properly. - Fixed the steam migration not happening if you join by clicking on a friend instead of via the server select/singleplayer. - Made the settle new province quest reveal all valid resources near you on the world map as you explore, not just those near the source province. Still only allows settling near a province of that faction though. - If a player gets into combat while missing pieces of gear (such as after taking it off to move it to another ship), default gear will be instantly installed. - Fixed selling ships not actually granting the sale value. - Added more info to the loading screen to help track down where it gets stuck where some people try to connect. If you get stuck on the loading screen connecting, please submit what you see in the bug reports channel.

Hella hectic two days. I've been online answering questions from those that were playing on the public server, dowsing fires wherever I could, fixing bugs and issues players have ran into... one thing I haven't been really doing is sleeping properly. But who needs that, right? Here are the patch notes from the last 48 hours:

Windward Horizon is an RPG-adventure set on the high seas, a sequel to the game Windward released on Steam in 2015. Trade, quest, fight, or just sail the world and fish -- it's your choice, and you can do it alone or together with your friends.
You will start as a young pirate with few friends and no port to call your own. Whether you follow the game's story or sail freely, you will soon encounter other faction leaders that seek to establish their mark upon the world. It will be your choice to join one of the factions or make it all on your own.
Each Windward Horizon campaign features a large procedurally generated world, and no two games will be quite alike. Although you will start in a small ship with few to no skills, as you gain experience and level up, you will acquire talent points. These points can be used to unlock new useful talents in either Defense, Offense or Support specializations. Each of these 3 talent trees contains a different set of skills and abilities, and sub-paths you can choose for a powerful build that suits your playstyle. You can even mix-and-match talents from different specializations to make your own unique build. Many of the crew, mates, and captains you can acquire have their own skills as well, expanding your toolkit further.
Whether you want your ship to be a tough juggernaut that can take a beating and stay afloat, a quick agile schooner that rains fire and explosive barrels on enemies from afar, or someone that keeps your allies afloat by fixing the damage inflicted upon them, you are certain to find something to enjoy. Since the ship's equipment layout is fully customizable, you can even choose to replace all cannons with armor instead and focus on simply ramming your enemies to death. Whatever works, right?
If the action-filled combat is not really your thing, you can simply sail the seas, discover provinces and towns, engage in trading to earn a profit, fish and dive for treasure, or take up quests for factions in order to advance their agenda. All actions have consequences -- provinces require resources in order to function, and providing them will lead to their towns growing and becoming more prosperous. Faction leaders will seek to involve you in their agendas, and helping one may hinder another. Help someone enough times and they may even take over governing the province -- which is a way to effectively capture it without bloodshed.
Of course the funds you acquire throughout your journey are not used solely for trading or purchasing equipment upgrades. They can also be used to purchase entirely new ships. Surely you won't want to sail in a Sloop forever? How about a fast Schooner to explore with, or a massive Frigate to carry all your plunder? Or perhaps a Brigantine is more your style? You can own them all.
However you choose to play the game, it's best to do it with your friends as Windward Horizon was designed with co-op in mind. So bring your friends, your family, your parrot, put on your sailing pants and then go plunder some booty together.
ARRR!!
