Boarding combat is here!

Ever wanted to jab your enemy right in the gut and then watch them fall to pieces? Of course you did and now you can!

We have been working on this feature for just over two weeks and we finally have finished implementing it. We need your help to ensure it isn't full of bugs and it is enjoyable for most people. I (Seabass) have tested it pretty excessively but you never really seem to find the bugs while testing. We hope everyone enjoys this new feature!

High performance build (YYC)

We are now distributing the game with a high performance build. What's the difference you ask? The standard build uses bytecode and runs in a VM (virtual machine) while the YYC build is compiled down to C++ and machine code. If you have a weak CPU the YYC build might just pull you above 60 fps. New content & features

Boarding combat
Population video setting added, allows you to lower the number of, or disable background characters
YYC compiled build available to Windows users (2x - 3x faster than the default executable)

Minor changes

Boarding an enemy ship and winning will give the player 11% of the remaining enemy crew
Auto-feeding improved

Bug fixes and performance improvements

Reduced port screen VRAM usage by 2.6MB
Pausing uses a lot less GPU and system memory
Quest GUI optimized slightly (15% faster), item strings are split only once instead of every frame
Z-buffering disabled to improve performance
Clicking video settings would cause the settings file to be written to twice
Island capturing results will now show after quest pop-ups to avoid overlapping messages
"Broken bones" quest, when picking up supplies it would display the wrong item pop-up
Leaderboard positions no longer overlap with user names

Balance Changes

Ships have less cannons and more health

As always... stay salty sea dogs!

A Sandbox-Adventure-Pirate-RPG that takes inspiration from Pirates of the Carribean (2003 video game), FTL: Faster Than Light, and Sid Meier's Pirates but makes certain to stand out on its own.

Explore a massive world with unique islands and landscapes. Discuss rumors and discover the origins of each island by talking to the people that live there
Expect the unexpected when at sea. Events you may be unprepared for may occur such as a foodborne illness among your crew. You'll need to have access to the right supplies and have the experience to keep your ship afloat
A casual but real challenge - While simple to pickup and understand, there are numerous events that only an experienced swashbuckler will be prepared for. This makes the game more satisfying for long term pirates
Thoughtfully executed cutscenes that help to bring the world to life as well as reward pirates that explore

Sailing between islands is necessary to expand your control over the world and to increase your reputation
Tending to the morale, hunger, and thirst of your crew will require you to maintain a supply of food/water and consider whether or not rationing food is required during long journeys
Governing islands you've conquered is a difficult responsibility as you will need to solve economic issues before they get out of hand
Purchase larger ships as you fight your way through the sea. Famously powerful vessels such as the Galleon and Man of War are but a few of the available ships
