Another year, another particle effect filled update!
This progress update marks the third year since development first began.
It's been a long journey and the end is finally in sight.

Particles... Ah...
I've been hard at work throughout the holiday season while hiding beneath a pile of oilskins to ward off influenza. Now it's time for a mid voyage progress report!
What's done?
- All the new locations
- All the new unlockable ships and professions
- Nearly all of the new mechanics and systems
- Some of the new particle effects
What's left?
- The new events
- The new opportunities
- The new items
- The new storyline
- The rest of the new particle effects
That's the short version.

Much like the furnace above, this development cycle has burned up time quickly.
I said this in the last progress report and I'll say it again. Creating Fantasy Toggle has been comparable to creating a new game inside of an old game. Implementing new systems while maintaining old mechanics is like trying to sail a clipper ship against the wind- it's slow progress and things keep breaking.
Throw in the new Mac update demanding 64-bit binaries when GM:S 1.4 can only handle 32 and I've got a shark sized problem on my hands to bring the entirety of The Caribbean Sail into GameMaker 2 at some point. The engine
upgrade shouldn't take too long but becoming a verified app developer? New waters for this young rogue.

Like the lasers fired from the Cybership above, sometimes we miss our target.
What does this all mean?
The opening of beta has been moved to April 30th.
The participants have all been hand-picked which means if you'd like to test out Fantasy Toggle when the time comes? You should climb aboard the official
Discord!
After Fantasy Toggle is complete, The Caribbean Sail will be twice the game it is now!
This also means that I'll be increasing the price once again to reflect the new value.
There are more plans after Fantasy though! A soundtrack, merch, potentially a physical edition?! Time will tell but until then, I'll be at the helm of development!
- Your Captain, Evan.
