Yaarrr! We've done it!

After 4 months of extremely active development we've reached the big 1.0! It has been a fun and rewarding journey so far. Sometimes it felt as though the game would never be out of early access but here we are. Here's what we've done for the full release.

A new trailer!

Gameplay/General Improvements

The enemy AI can use different ammo types now! You might face a schooner with grapeshot. Once they finish off your crew they'll switch to cannonballs/bombs and sink you. There are also a number of minor improvements such as the defeat tune not playing twice anymore. Little things like that.

The future of Don't Sink

We are working hard to get Don't Sink onto consoles as well as bring you (the Steam community) more features/content. This means more quests, possibly more indepth mechanics, and much more. We have a mod system in the works with a full tool to simplify the process and we would love to make that available in the near future alongside Steam workshop support. A number of users have experienced various performance issues and so we will likely be introducing a high-performance build (C++ based) in a separate branch to give those users a possibly better experience although previous tests have shown those C++ builds to be pretty unstable which is why we're not certain we want to make it available just yet.

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
