Five years ago on September 19th, The Caribbean Sail was released. |
Ahoy there lads! |
Now you can read words instead of playing games! |
Are you a true Caribbean Sailor? |
[h2]All things must come to an end.[/h2] |
Ahoy there to all the new lads and laddies! |

Follow along and submit contributions via Twitter or Discord By the powers of 3D resin printing and wood, I bring you; A real life Caribbean Sail Frigate model. A very limited number will be available for you to name and commandeer at the Legendary Edition tier and higher. While I didn't set out to turn this two week project into the four year project it became, I'm proud of it and every lad who helped it come so far. I may honestly never be able to make a game quite like this again but I hope to continue creating games just as good in their own right. The success of this campaign will play a huge role in what comes next after the physical edition has shipped. I hope you'll join me on those voyages too! Fair winds to you all! - Your Captain, Evan |
Not sure what's going on? Read the previous post. |
Spit out that hardtack and listen up! |
All hands on deck! |
[h3]It's been a trick at the helm and three bells since the last update.[/h3]
[h3]News from the slow boat to china![/h3] Physical edition is still underway. Shell Shuffle encountered some development hiccups and may take a couple more months to polish and beta test which pushes the TCS limited edition kickstarter back a bit. Remember to load the clambake cannon with your email over on victorianclambake.com so you don't miss the limited edition news as it comes! Just so you don't leave empty handed today, here's a hint about that final secret backer reward. Mind your boots don't get caught on any anchor lines and if your winds fare you well, I look forward to our next adventure together! Your Captain - Evan |
Our final voyage together has begun lads. |
Gather round lads, I have much to share! |
[h2]Ahoy there lads![/h2] |

Ahoy there lads! |
Short patch poetry time! |

The Mac users all got the same crash, |

|
The official Discord server for Victorian Clambake has been verified! |
Another patch to delay obsolescence. |
|
|
Sometimes you get hooked on a passion project and can't stop yourself |
I took off my eye patch and my full attention is back on development. |
Two years ago to this day, the first version of The Caribbean Sail was made. |
As we near the end of the year, I'm beginning to create a list of the most important and requested features and implement them before I start working on the Fantasy Toggle expansion. |
It's certainly been awhile since the last content patch but we're back on course. |
'Tis time to celebrate! |
|
I'm glad to see you lads enjoying the trading cards. I haven't seen any potatoes yet so which one of you has been hoarding them all? |
What's that Polly? Players can now turn their hard earned doubloons into virtual collectibles that have no real world value? That doesn't sound like a scam at all! |
As usual, if my update isn't massive then it must be a limerick. |
Emergent Storylines Survive a voyage to Nassau and become a Pirate that does as he pleases or become a Privateer for the Royal Navy and receive a letter of marque to hunt those filthy pirate scallywags. Both offer the freedom to go where you want and do as you please but give larger overall goals to work towards that reward you! Conclusion Nautical Oregon Trail free roam- what was I thinking? I still don't entirely know, but I hope you enjoy it as much as I love sharing the rich history, fantasy, and culture of all things nautical. There's so much new content that you'll just have to dive in to find it all. Happy Voyages! - Captain and Developer, Evan |
Short missive on the Route Planning expansion These wonderful works of art will be added along with the expansion that I know you're all patiently waiting for. My estimate fell off as life events delayed me. The Beta is still expected to open this month but there's enough problems I'm aware of to make the delay worth the time it will save. Why find and report bugs I'm already working on fixing? The update will most likely be pushed to everyone in early June. Until then, goodnight and joy be with you all! - The Captain, Evan. |
to work in the game. These are the songs already in the game All for me Grog - Rule Britannia - Irish Washerwoman - What will we do with a Drunken Sailor - Windy Old Weather - Blow the Man Down - Yo ho ho and Bottle of Rum - Lowlands Away - Sailors Hornpipe - The Coast of High Barbary - The British Grenadiers - Heart of Oak One Tip: Don't focus on just trying to make the longest most complex rendition possible. A great ten second loop that doesn't get on your nerves after 10 repeats is an absolute MASTERPIECE. If you have any questions send those to ContactClambake@gmail.com Happy singing, beeping, and sailing! Sincerely, thank you to everyone who is playing my game. I wouldn't be able to even afford this contest without you and I'm happy to get you all involved and give back where I can - Your Captain, Evan. |

Each location will have new artwork, music, trade values, and other unique features. The voyage will also be unique and different for each destination you sail to. "That's all exciting but what's the point?" I hear you say. The initial goal will still be to reach Nassau, but after surviving your first voyage some lite questing options will be presented that lead to adventures all over the world! Bounty hunting, smuggling, and the extremely enticing delivery of telegraphs will be the first optional quests I work on. Ooo! Shiny new buttons! The map and shop will stay the same. Each port will have new people that ramble at you and unique liars dice opponents in the pub. The logbook will be accessible from port so you can dispose of unwanted items and check on your current condition. You'll be able to wait at port for crew to become well again. The Shipyard will be a new tab where you can purchase a ship, repair your ship, upgrade your ship, and careen your ship to scrape barnacles off the hull and improve sailing speed! Gameplay changes and features Three profile slots will be introduced to save your progress and give more focus on your captains development and story. Profiles will be erased on the death of your captain so you better stock up on medicine! Ships will remain unlocked permanently across all profiles and some upgrades like reloading time and disease resistence will be added. Crew relations will become important as time is spent sailing the ocean and their resentment grows for your cruel hand that flogs them. Treat them well or face mutiny at gunpoint. New fish, weather, and events will be added to keep the world alive- and out to kill you. Get ready to be impaled by a Narwhal! More particle effects. Many new particle effects. Shanties... Watch closely for the coming anouncement :) Finally, feast yer eyes on these fine new ships! I hope this answers some questions and gets you as excited as I am! - Your Captain, Evan. |

Sing a tow, row, row, row, row, row, row, row, for the British Grenadiers. Enjoy the new "Shanty" available in the one and only London Harbor Shop. |
Small update that should have been there for a while now. |
Habits must be hard to break because here we are, one week after weekly updates ended and i'm pushing an update. This should resolve the game crashing bug a few of you have encountered. |

Last year I made The Caribbean Sail and passed it through greenlight in the nick of time then released it on talk like a pirate day. I followed up with weekly updates for three months solid. I'd call that a productive year- so what's next? |
It's finally here! You can finally ram any ship in the game at full speed with the Raft! You can also ram using any of the other ships but I know what you real hardcore players were waiting for- and yes, it probably will sink your Raft if you attempt it. Simply click "Full Sail" while in combat to initiate the ram, and if you get cold feet hit "Half Sail" to pull back. The acceleration speed of your ship is determined by that ships maximum speed and the damage is determined by the size of your ship... and theirs. |
Yet another miracle of pixel art and code wizardry has been performed and in about a days time I've been able to bring you another update! |
It's not a big update but I found the time to implement the most interesting thing you can give someone; An unopened box. |
Now, you may be asking yourself "What happened in V1.5.4?" Nothing and don't worry about it. |
Let's get straight to the updates. |
I've been building a lot of content for the expansions in the background while working on these updates and soon the time will come when weekly updates stop and I begin working on the "Route Planning" expansion. I'll share more details soon! |
Welcome aboard sailors! |
Happy Halloween! |
Sorry to string you along another day. I was at the end of my rope last week while caught up in making a net. The tensions are still high as I haul in another line of updates.
There are more items planned and half finished but I didn't want to postpone the update another week and I needed some feedback on it, so have some patience and expect more great things! There were also some small changes and fixes like the "Reel it back" achievement now showing your highest streak and... something else but it's nearly 2 AM and i've been working so hard i've forgotten. I keep saying things like "Calmed down" and "Taking some rest" but considering how hard i'm still working, I somehow started to believe that working for 12 hours a day is rest- compared to 19 hours though, I suppose it is. |
No update this week because I'm working on some big features that will need time to be tested and polished after being made- namely the inventory system. |
It's been a stressful first three weeks but things have calmed down as I've patched out the last few bugs and discrepancies found. This means I can start designing and building content for "Route Planning" and share the details with you all when ready. |
After a hectic first launch week I've taken some time to rest, plan ahead, and do some important code clean up for the expansions. I've also made a few updates worth mentioning. |
You asked for it, I delivered! |
After a glorious release i've been able to work on the steam integration, the patch was small and boring so I wrote it in limerick form to spice it up. |
Ahoy there everyone! |
