Hi everyone,
A lot has been done since the last weekly update. I have commissioned an artist to create a new world map, where the pirate islands of Chapter 2.5 are included. I made the old map using pretty outdated software, and to be honest I was never really satisfied with how it looked. This new map is much more fitting for the idea I always envisioned for the overall map. I think it looks really cool and hope you like it as well.
Patrons voted on whom to add as Blackjack opponents and the clear winner was Antiope. She’ll receive a couple images for the mini-game. I plan to show the first one in next week′s update. If time allows I will also add some for one of the runner-ups.
On the coding side of the game, I mainly worked on a couple of small technical features that are needed to support some of the new events and diplomacy options that’ll come with the new map. Additionally I am as good as finished with the mechanics for ship combat, which was the last major coding block that still needed to be done before working on strategy game improvements.
A lot of things are in motion and I’m getting closer to release step by step. Let me know what you think of the new map or if you have any other feedback.
