Devlog - New Flavors on the Horizon

🐾 Introduction

The ship keeps sailing through open waters, and the crew never stops exploring the nearby islands. This time we’ve come across something that could change the rhythm of survival – fish that can be used as food, exotic animals hidden in containers carried aboard the ship, and now also a bird system. Birds can be hunted for supplies, and if the crew finds their nests, eggs can be collected as an additional food source.

⚙️ New Systems onboard

• Added a fish system – they can be caught around islands and used as food.

• Implemented a bird system – players can hunt birds or gather eggs from nests they discover.

• Basic interactions and behaviors are in place – animals can be collected, observed, or used as resources.

🐾 What we’re focusing on now

• Testing food balance – how many fish, birds, or eggs are needed, and what effects exotic animals bring.

• Checking how these new resources affect the overall survival strategy.

🌊 Next steps

• Expanding the exotic animal system – adding special effects or risks.

• Refining the bird system – different bird types and nest locations.

• Integrating all new resources with the daily challenges on the ship.

• Testing island exploration with fishing, bird hunting, and animal discovery.

🤖 AI Improvements

We’ve also worked on enhancing AI behavior. The fixes are already available in the demo version, so you can try them out right now!

🚀 What’s next

The crew won’t just stop at food sources – in the next update we’ll tease something much more challenging that could shake up survival on the ship. Stay tuned.
