Travel the seas
Trade over 20 goods
Build new businesses
Upgrade your ships

Welcome to High Seas, High Profits! A game about putting on the dusty pants of a medieval capitalist, entrusting drunk sailors with trading your beer and enforcing the almost random desires of whimsy mayors who think famine is kinda bad, but throwing a harvest celebration is crucial!

You're busy, let's get down to business:

discover the cities on your map and the bonuses that they offer
trade between cities and build wealth
buy old dusty ships or build your very own new and shiny ones
learn about prices and set up trading routes
build production businesses or enter auctions for city owned shops
find new captains with awesome traits, or train the ones you have into... sucking less
engage with the other traders, race them through the cities, help them out or work towards bankrupting them and taking over their business
fight pirates, run away or just.. befriend them, for a chance at treasure and rare ship improvements
enjoy chill, turn based gameplay or fast pace RTS and switch between the 2 at any time!

An explosive start!

The launch

The launch was explosive! You guys rallied up faster than I could have ever imagined! THANK YOU! We managed to BLAST through the initial 10 reviews that Steam wants to see before recommending the game to more people, and that helped tremendously towards getting more than 900 players to date! That is incredible!

The Discord has grown by 60+ members as well, and what I'm hearing from you is loud and clear: IT'S FUN!

Well, tell you what: it's about to get EVEN MORE FUN!

The priorities

Bug Gods have favored us and there's no critical / game breaking bugs discovered so far! I have however just shipped a fresh batch of roasted tinier bugs for your enjoyment! It kind of sounds like I introduced new bugs, but I promise, I fixed them!

Some quality of life features that didn't make the initial release also got bundled in. Automated convoys will now be able to repair themselves... automatically! Keymapping's a little bit better! Some campaigns detect your advancements more easily. Overall, there's a bit less 'Oh come oooon!' happening.

The upcoming

Your support has been incredible, and I want to reward that! There were a bunch of features I was thinking I could one day implement. Many of those WILL COME TO LIFE! Custom maps (and some historically accurate ones), more granular control over everything in free play mode, extended interactions with mayors (supporting elections, auctions and bidding for new types of buildings [hush, don't tell anyone, this is still very much confidential]) and who knows... possibly even... [spoiler]creating new cities![/spoiler]

You guys are the best! I feel like I say that a lot in the Discord but maybe some of you aren't there yet (you should be though! https://discord.gg/7sKhteQv4w ) BUT you really are the best!

Thanks so much for everything!

Happy trading!

Lexy.
