Ahoy Sailors!

We're dropping anchor to bring you the next Sea of Survivors update!

The Shifting Isles

Hidden deep within the murky waters of the Shifting Isles, the Curseweavers gather, toiling in unity, weaving curse after curse on one another with singular purpose, uniting the world under a nightmarish order, by bringing forth the Great One.

In the Shifting Isles, there's many secrets to discover:

  • 3 new weapons

  • 3 new bosses

  • 10 new enemies

  • 35 new locations

  • 21 new bounties

  • 21 new treasures

Other Changes

The Shifting Isles come with a lot of other changes:

  • The Grand Deep has been completely rearranged

  • The Dutchman has a new moveset

  • The barrel dropping sloops have completely new art

  • Some Raids now require kills to complete, instead of time

  • There's a new Raid UI for counting the seconds left or kills required

  • Renamed preparation to charge

  • New weapon charging UI for visualizing cooldown/charge interactions

  • 6 new stats - Overcharge (weapon magazine size), Wisdom (xp rate), Greed (doubloon rate), Reach (pickup range), Hardness (damage reduction), and Recovery (Hp regen)

  • Coin treasures now immediately give doubloons, instead of waiting until the end of the run

  • Make Pegleg always give 5 Amount - we've added more ways to build amount, and more ways to duplicate treasures, and we cannot make computers/enemies keep up with the old pegleg.

  • Lightning bounces now scale with the Amount stat

  • Removed the Bounce stat - Bounce turned every projectile weapon into lightning, making them all feel the same, as well having negative impacts on weapon balance and performance, so we've made the call to cut it.

  • Islands now have a sea foam VFX effect applied

Whats Next?

This update took us awhile, we had to rebuild a few systems to allow us to add all the new content, going forwards, we're going to be doing smaller more frequent updates. We're still not sure how we're going to split the next area up into smaller updates, but the next updates will come a lot quicker than this one did!

Next on our list while we figure out how to break up the next area:

  • Polishing the in/end game menu

  • Viewing logs from past voyages

  • Redoing the Crew systems

  • Polishing Shifting Isles with all feedback

Thanks for sailing with us!

Nah Yeah Games.
