addedIsla Mona, your very own colony…and a sneak peek of the new UI

addedIsla Mona, your very own colonyIt took a couple of months to write this quest, and another two to code it - a total of three years. I think we have done it right: several hours of solid gameplay, choices and consequences, lots of new content and events. It’s a great side activity for the mid game, don’t rush it and you will have yourself a proper colony built in two in-game years. No timers except for building ones.

changedIsla Mona, your very own colonyBut hey, you ask me how several months transformed into 3 years of development?! Simple, we have very little 3D modeling resources to cover all building stages of the colony. I think that is about 6 exterior locations total. But we are getting there and we like the result. The amount of effort put in this quest was colossal, but it was worth it and we hope you will feel the same!

Ahoy!

We have another development update for you today, and the trailer reveal is just in two days. This Saturday at 1 p.m. PST.

Today’s item is…

Isla Mona, your very own colony

…and a sneak peek of the new UI

-"By the holy Santiago, that would be swell! Problem is, our women would set it on fire. With us in it. No, Captain, I meant a church." -"True, we have decent dwelling and pay, sea and leisures, families and friends. But something is still amiss, you know?"

It took a couple of months to write this quest, and another two to code it - a total of three years. I think we have done it right: several hours of solid gameplay, choices and consequences, lots of new content and events. It’s a great side activity for the mid game, don’t rush it and you will have yourself a proper colony built in two in-game years. No timers except for building ones.

Once the colony is built, it will remain useful until the end of the game:

ːjollyrːInfinite goods storage. ːjollyrːAbility to put a few hundreds of sailors in reserve. ːjollyrːShipkeeping, you can keep up to three smaller vessels or one warship. ːjollyrːLots of cheap ironwood; ːjollyrːSpecial events, items, companion interactions and Steam achievements.

But hey, you ask me how several months transformed into 3 years of development?! Simple, we have very little 3D modeling resources to cover all building stages of the colony. I think that is about 6 exterior locations total. But we are getting there and we like the result. The amount of effort put in this quest was colossal, but it was worth it and we hope you will feel the same!

That’s all for today, folks. Tomorrow we will talk about our dear Helen - a companion and a potential romantic interest.

Don’t forget to check out the two links below. This is vital not only because of the trailer, but also for the future updates to come: most of them will be Discord exclusive.
