2.5.1 Bonus Update

Weve got a few little extra updates, features, and bug fixes ready for release a little earlier than usual - so were bringing them to you in the 2.5.1 Paper Pirates Bonus Update!

Twitch Integration

At the request of the lovely streamers who have been playing Paper Pirates, weve added Twitch Integration to Paper Pirates. If youd like to ensure that your players are using their Twitch usernames to join your games, enable Require Twitch Login from the main menu options before starting your game! Players who arent logged in to Twitch will automatically join your audience instead (unless you have Audience Mode turned off, which case they wont be able to join at all!). To play with a connected Twitch account, click the Twitch logo in the top-left when connected via your device. Once youre connected via Twitch, you wont be able to change your name - so press the Twitch icon again to disconnect your account, and youll be able to change your pirate name again.

Kick Pirates from the Lobby/In-Game

Another requested streamer feature is the ability to remove pirates from the lobby and from the game. Where previously you could click on a pirate to mute them, doing so now opens a menu, where you can choose whether to mute a pirate (preventing them from sending messages to the chat) or kick them from your game!

If you kick a pirate after your game has started, that pirate will be replaced by a bot, and they wont be able to reconnect. Please be very careful and be absolutely certain that you want to remove that pirate before kicking them!

Keyboard Menu Navigation, Accessibility Mode and Spoken Room Codes

In our efforts to improve Paper Pirates accessibility, weve added a first pass at keyboard navigation to in-game menus, which you can try using the arrow keys. Additionally, weve introduced an Accessibility Mode, which can be turned on either through the main menu options or by pressing left shift three times. When Accessibility Mode is turned on, spoken prompts will announce which menu option is currently selected. This functionality initially covers the main menus and options screen, and there are some additional spoken prompts during the game to indicate key gameplay elements (e.g. how much treasure is remaining). Finally, we have added a button to the lobby screen which allows for the room code to be read aloud. This button can also be accessed and selected via the aforementioned keyboard navigation. The accessibility features are currently very much in testing, and we would greatly appreciate feedback on these via the Paper Pirates Discord, or through the Steam forums.

A Few Other Things

You can now hover over each pirates objective in the round history to see a full description of their secret objective at the end of the game.
If a pirate ends a Scored Game on the ghost team, the ghost haunting them will now join them on the party podiums to share in the celebrations.

Bug Fixes

Hats in the new hat unlock' toast were appearing behind the models head! Now they arent.
If someone voted for you during a Shroud of Fog event, the little black spots appearing all over your device gave the game away as to who voted for you - oops! Theyre now properly obscured by the fog. Spooky!
When playing a game with event selection set to Crews Choice, some events were appearing a little too often.
The Lost at Sea Daily Voyage wasnt correctly activating the Shroud of Fog event when it shouldve been.
When playing with Crews Choice, rarely on days with no audience vote, an audience vote from a previous day could have accidentally been chosen.

Sailing on Stream?

Crew all stranded ashore? We recommend playing Paper Pirates on your favourite streaming service to play with remote players! Don’t worry if you’re not in the same room; you can use the built-in chat feature. And with audience mode, if you’re streaming for the masses, everyone can jump in and affect how the game plays out!

Who can you trust?!

Every round, the captain will give out orders for their crew. Everyone doing their job gets us closer to shore, but watch out for when something goes wrong; a ghost must be about! And if things are going too well, then what’s to stop the captain being a ghost?

Get Off My Ship!

At the end of each round, you’ll vote for somebody to walk the plank. You want to purge the ghosts, but be careful... every innocent pirate overboard comes back to haunt someone anew!

I’m the Captain Now

When someone goes overboard you could be up for a promotion. The higher your rank, the more likely you are to get haunted and become a target. If you end up as captain, you’ll be the one choosing who gets to take part in each day’s task. Make sure you know who you can trust to get you home!

Packed with Events

Are things going too well? Oops, we’ve hit rocks; a whirlpool has caught us; cue spooky ghostly apparitions! Are we nearly all out of treasure and all hope is lost? Help could come from a message in a bottle; a spy in the crows nest; an exorcism at sea!
Paper Pirates is filled with events to make every journey different!

Custom Pirates

Always pictured yourself with the eyepatch and hook? Get creative with your pirate in the pre-game lobby when getting ready to set sail!

Custom Games

Wanting to mix up your adventure? Customise the game to your liking, starting with more ghosts? More treasure? More events to shake up the action? It could make your journey home plain-sailing, or be a fast-track to the bottom of the ocean!

Hats and Achievements

Fancy the captain’s hat but you’re stuck as the cabin boy? Not to worry, Paper Pirates has over 30 Steam achievements. Each achievement you unlock will earn you a new hat, which can be randomly chosen for your pirate to wear when customising your pirate in the game lobby! !
