Grab a bottle of your preferred beverage and get ready to sail wherever you want! Today I share with you my seamap for Route Planning!

One of the main features I wanted since conception of the game was the ability to plot your own course. While designing it, I realized the changes would be a massive addition that could take months to complete. I could easily turn that into DLC but I've always been of the mind that purchasing a game means purchasing the FULL GAME. That's why all updates, content, and expansions including this one will be FREE. Now, that isn't to say that new content is worthless. I'd like to set a new price that reflects the value of the game once the expansion is completed and implemented. This will be an open discussion I'd like to have with current players on the forums. Now on to the plans! Disclaimer: Some features are prone to change.

Your map has contracted chickenpox

The most important feature of course, will be the new locations available from your map! Here are the currently planned new locations.

Delgada, Azores
Reykjavik, Iceland
Lisbon, Portugal
Las Palmas, Gran Canaria
Cape Town, South Africa
Long Island, New York
Belém, South America
Kozhikode, India
Shanghai, China

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.

Be the Captain of your own ship in the 1700's and make decisions that will determine your fate. Control everything from food rationing to amputating limbs. Sail for the British Navy or rebel and become a pirate. The lives of your crew are in your gout ridden hands.

Gameplay Overview

Name your crew, choose your profession, purchase a ship, stock up on supplies, and then set sail at the mercy of the wind. You'll encounter pirates, storms, disease, starvation, and death more as you sail 4,341 miles of open ocean.

Survive the voyage and arrive in Nassau to have your captain's name uploaded to the leaderboard! If you fail and die horribly, you may leave behind a message in a bottle that you'll find as a marker on your next voyages.

Each vessel matches the speed of it's real life counterpart which will give you an accurate depiction of how difficult and tedious a journey across the ocean was in the age of sail. You could enjoy a casual experience on a Frigate as you fly across the waves and decimate pirates in a War Galleon like a rich ponce- or -Suffer a HARDCORE challenge on the Raft and struggle to feed your men daily while your vessel crawls along so slowly you'll BEG the wind to pick up.
