3.0.1.3 - 1st of December Patch!
After successfully launching the full game and sailin' through the turbulent waters of bug fixing post-launch, we've finally found a moment to take a breath and gather our thoughts. This journey's been a real whirlwind, and we wanted to extend our deepest gratitude to all you pirates who have supported us for many years by reporting those pesky bugs. Ye be the true MVPs (= Most Valuable Pirates).
First of all, we know that the full release of Blazing Sails has been a long time coming. As you guys know, we're a small crew. Throughout the last couple of years, we've faced mighty headwinds as we sailed through development, passing through waves of unexpected events, both in our professional and personal lives. So we appreciate everyone who stayed the course, hoping that we didn't abandon the development of this game. We never intended to and we didn't! And to the ones who had lost faith and cursed at us many times - like SO many, you wouldn’t believe it, we hope that this message reaches you and that you give our game another try!
We're over the moon that we've weathered the storm. Our dedication to fine-tuning this game is stronger than ever, and we're committed to ensure it becomes the gem we’ve always wanted it to be. To our fantastic community, you're the wind in our sails, and we couldn't have come this far without your hearty support! And fear not! We’ve got many more exciting updates on the horizon - some that you might recognize, and some that are brand new. Stay tuned, mateys!
So, after all this emotional talk, we can confidently say: It's time to set sail and venture forward!
… As you shoot, stab, blast, bomb, and sink your way across the seven seas, of course. ARRR!

Rise of the Caravel
What better way to celebrate a milestone such as this than with a new ship: The Caravel! A big bulky ship with a high forecastle and aftcastle. Great for throwing yourselves onto an enemy ship's deck. Airborne pirate assaults await ye. They will never see you coming!
The Caravel sports one main cannon on each side and a hidden rear cannon. Sometimes you just need to show your dominance through ahem showing them your butt.
Aside from a butt cannon there are multiple swivels and 3 masts. It takes a bit more effort to man this hulk, but when doing so efficiently you can terrorize the seas with a literal floating fortress.
Introducing the Limbs of Lore
We've also dropped a brand new DLC filled with swagelicious pirate prosthetics. Time to fashion up those missing limbs!

Bug fixes
And as per usual we have also worked on fixing more of those pesky bugs such as the bottle bug, crow's nest weapon switch issues, XP loading and more!
Sailing onward...
But of course, we'll keep sailing and exploring new seas. We have more stuff and bug fixes planned for the coming weeks and months as well as the return of some beloved game modes and features such as conquest and the curse. We'll be sharing a new roadmap that will shed more light on the future of Blazing Sails soon! So stay tuned for that.
So it's time to grab that unbugged bottle and climb aboard the Caravel to claim those winner winner, pirate dinners!
Cheers!
