Ahoy, pirates! Since it's already June 6th, it's time to announce the winners of our second screenshot contest where a few lucky winners will get a Pirate City DLC as a gift. June 5th was the deadline for submissions and with this in mind, we have approved 45 entries for participation (we had to reject a few screenshots since they were made before the contest even started). Our team was pleasantly surprised by the amount of quality scenes you guys have captured. It wasn't easy to pick who gets the prize and decide between the runner-ups. Anyway, no more talking here are the entries that captured the game in the best way possible (in our humble opinion): https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1760742044 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1157933790 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1756000901 Our team representative will contact the winners shortly, so if you are one of them - please make sure your profile is public and you can accept friend requests. We are super thankful to all of the participants that invested time, creativity and effort into their submissions, since this is exactly what makes it all worth it. If you didn't find your nickname in the shortlist don't give up, there will be more interesting contests in the future! See you next time!

  Level up your pirates, let them grow from sailor boys to skilled old salts!

Hey Captain! Now that you’ve got the Jolly Roger fluttering in the wind over your ship, you’re ready to rove the seas, take on merchant ships loaded with booty and storm formidable fortresses. Set sail and get your hands on all those legendary treasures that are just waiting for the picking!
When we created Tempest, we focused on the most thrilling part of pirate life – sea battles.
As you navigate the dangerous waters of the game you won’t just catch up with merchants, but you will encounter fellow pirates, creepy followers of a mysterious cult and terrible mythical monsters: Kraken, Leviathan and other infamous creatures.
Your ship – the pride and joy of any freebooter – can be customized in many ways. You are free to change almost everything – from the color of your flag and sails to the ship’s hull and figurehead.
Of course, there are plenty of weapons to choose from for every battle, including cannons, mortars, flame throwers and so on. Also there are special tools ready to help you to rig the ship for any purpose. However, you can win the most valuable artifacts only by finishing the multilevel quests called “legends”.

Good hunting.
