Mutiny Island
Incoming Update
Something going on with Steam and unable to post another announcement at this moment.
A new patch has been released on all three versions which improves the Temporary Raft based on the feedback received. You no longer need to be in the water when placing a Temporary Raft. Facing the water's edge from the shore will allow you to safely place/board your raft with no risk of drowning. Another update will be releasing today with additional improvements.
Hi everyone!
Just a small announcement to let people know that an update will be dropping within 24 hours which should hopefully alleviate some of the concerns that have been expressed in the reviews. The update will release for the English version first.
This update will focus on:
The starting difficulty when spawning on Mutiny Island
Modding Support
Other small additions and fixes
Thank you for the reviews and feedback thus far.
I will avoid responding to steam reviews directly but in saying that, if you do run into any sort of bugs, please consider posting them in the forums first so they can be fixed ASAP.
One of the reviews states that in the Russian version, within 20 minutes there were numerous bugs. To confirm this, I had decided to load a live Broadcast of the Russian version. Ultimately, I could not pinpoint what the reviewer was referencing, so please, try and post your issues in the forums so I can also have a look. If there are translation issues within the Russian and Simplified Chinese version, it would also be appreciated if I could get a heads up.
This game has essentially been worked on by one person. Translation included. If there are any discrepancies within the translated versions, I do truly apologize and will strive to fix them ASAP. The game should be completely playable with the current translations but I'm happy to improve them if need be.
I just also wanted to add that, in regards to spawning on Mutiny Island, there's MULTIPLE WAYS to leave the area. If you find yourself struggling to make your way of the starting region, usually a RUM TRAFFICKER or a PIRATE will appear within a day or two to offer you some assistance. You can also craft a raft, steal a raft, or even try to island hop.
Thanks, guys!
Modding Support Interest
Currently Mutiny Island can be modded.
I'm writing this announcement to see if players would be interested in some information in regards to safe-modding practices for Mutiny Island?
Please respond below to show your interest and a guide will be released to help assist prospective modders.
Thanks!
Starter Tips #2
The Arbor Ocean may seem like an unforgiving place at times...
Mutiny Island was developed with the idea of trial and error as a central mechanic. Deaths and potential restarts may occur while you learn the in's and out's of the world and how you may interact with it.
--SWIMMING--
Take swimming for example. It might not seem like you're able to swim very far at first, but testing/learning the limits will allow you to then use swimming as a tool to "Island Hop" or reach items and treasure floating in the water. Try seeing just how long you can swim before drowning and then use it as an additional tool when exploring. You can even hang onto certain rocks to increase your swimming distance!
--TEMPORARY RAFTS--
Temporary Rafts, although not necessary to play the game, definitely make navigating the Arbor a whole lot easier in the beginning. They can either be crafted straight from your inventory or stolen in the waters nearby. Rafts can also be destroyed for loot and EXP.
When placing a crafted Temporary Raft you will have to be in the water.
Rafts which are found sailing on the water can be boarded by pressing the interact button. You will either steal the Raft immediately or enter into a scuffle with the Raft Owner. Winning the scuffle will pull the sailor out and allow you to steal the boat for yourself.
Press the interact button to hop on once the scuffle has concluded. If you win a scuffle and return to the shore before collecting your Temporary Raft, the Raft will sink. Raft Scuffles are also affected by some of your stats. Try equipping the Captain's Pistol.
--DEATH--
When you first start learning the game, you will most likely die at some point while trying to test out its boundaries. Although you will lose items when respawning, your EXP, Perks, and Equipment remain in-tact. As do your purchases. If you have not made a designated area your home, you will respawn on Mutiny Island. Buying a house in one of the Ports or renting a room at an inn will allow you to change your respawn point.
--ITEMS--
If you're concerned about losing items from drowning/death, drop them into a Storage Chest. Storage Chests can be crafted at any time. Your inventory within the chest is universal. That means any crafted storage chest will link into the same inventory cache, making your items accessible from almost anywhere!
--THE RED DAWN--
The Red Dawn is an almost constant threat while playing. You will receive notifications of the Red Dawn's current whereabouts on the side of the screen in the form of a text notification. Be very wary if the Red Dawn enters your current region.
Good luck!

Starter Tips!
Here's some quick tips and general info to get you all started for when
the game launches in a few hours.
--CONTROLS--
Mutiny Island does not use the mouse.
Gamepad is recommended for optimal play and can easily be configured
within the options menu at any time.
To configure Gamepad controls in-game, go to the options menu while the controller is plugged in. Select Gamepad Config to change the controls to your liking.
--KEYBOARD CONTROLS--
ARROW KEYS = Movement
Z or SPACEBAR or ENTER = ACCEPT INTERACT OK JUMP
X or ESC or NUM0 = OPEN MENU CANCEL
W or PAGEDOWN = ATTACK
Q or PAGEUP = USE SIDEARM FIRE CANNONBALLS TARGET ENEMY
F3 = ASPECT RATIO
F4 = FULL SCREEN
BASIC GAMEPLAY TIPS:
Tip 1: You don't need to have an Axe actively equipped to chop down trees. (You do need to own one at least.)
Tip 2: (RAFT CHANGED TIP NOT VALID) You must be in the water when trying to place a crafted Temporary Raft. Managing your swimming is an important mechanic in Mutiny Island. You can only swim in the water for a limited amount of time. Pay attention to the sound and visual text indicator on the side of the screen as it will indicate how close to drowning you are.
Tip 3: Attacking consumes stamina as does swimming.
Tip 4: Don't be scared to restart if you feel like it. Although Mutiny Island is not a rogue-like, it does share some similarities. After watching the introduction cut-scene the first time, you can skip it in subsequent reruns.
Tip 5: If you see a Naval Vessel on fire in the ocean, there's a chance you can scavenge it for treasure! Be mindful to manage your swimming and not drown.
Tip 6: Beds can be used as a respawn point, as long as
they are not owned. Beds are also used to save the game.
Tip 7: Lots of things in the environment can be interacted with.
Tip 8: Ports are the best place to sell your treasure, weapons and supplies.
Tip 9: Store items you don't want to risk losing in a Storage Chest.
Personal Storage Chest Cache can be accessed anywhere from the
map, as long as you have a Chest.
Tip 10: Drowning or Dying will make you lose some of your held items.
Equipment you're actively wearing is unaffected. The more you play, the more accustomed you will become to your swimming cues, which will allow you to travel more freely. Practice your swimming to get a good idea of your limits. You might even find an unexpected island or treasure! The more you swim, the better your swimming capabilities will become.
--CHANGE LANGUAGE--
Right click the game within the Steam Client and then open up "Properties". Select the Languages tab at the top and select which language you would like.
Good luck out there me hearties!

Really can't wait for you all to finally play!
Mutiny Island was a joy to work on. The setting, the music, everything.
It's taken a lot of work to get this game together, especially under some of the circumstances while developing, but I'm glad that it's finally going to be released. It was also amazing to finally have a chance and compose the entire soundtrack for a game. I truly hope you all enjoy it.
Thanks, guys.
YARRR!!!
Gameplay FAQ
--DEATH--
Passing out from lack of stamina, enemy damage or drowning will result in you respawning back on Mutiny Island or a bed that you've made your designated home. You will also lose some basic items and equipment upon death or drowning. Weapons and armor that you have actively equipped will not be lost.
--STATS--
Stats such as CHARM and LUCK will affect your interactions with NPC's and Shopkeepers. Increasing the various stats in the game can result in you being able to negotiate better sale prices or assist in seducing women.
--STEALING RAFTS--
If you don't feel like crafting a Temporary Raft, you can steal one that's making its way through the ocean. The raft owner might put up a fight though.
--TASK BOARDS--
There are many ways to earn Gold Doubloons while playing Mutiny Island. If you stumble upon a Task Board, make sure to check it out for any available tasks. Task Boards can be found within Ports and also onboard Ships that you own or are part of a crew.
--DEFENDING YOUR SHIP--
Your ship can and will occasionally be boarded while sailing the sea. Make sure to investigate the enemy vessel for any loot and treasure. If you take too long, your ship can sink from all of the incoming cannon fire!
--NORTH HARBOR--
North Harbor used to be your home. Now it's been destroyed.
If you know how to craft buildings you can rebuild the town in your image. The more buildings you construct, the more people who might want to move into your town.
--ARMADA--
Tired of fighting your own battles?
Once you've bought your Royal Galleon or Pirate Frigate, speak to the Harbor Master behind the counter to recruit an Armada.
--DAY & NIGHT--
A Day and Night Cycle dictates how the world changes around you.
Different wildlife, monsters and NPC's will appear based on the region, time and day.
--SWIMMING--
The whole game world is open right from the beginning.
You can swim anywhere there's water but you will risk the possibility of drowning and losing items doing so. Swimming often will increase your Swimming Skill and duration that you can stay afloat.
--RED DAWN PREPAREDNESS--
There is a "Red Dawn Preparedness" meter which tracks how capable you are of challenging the Red Dawn at any given moment. This bar will increase or decrease based on your level, currently equipped equipment and more.
--TREASURE--
If you want to make some quick Gold Doubloons, head to the local ports and sell some stock!
Each merchant is different and will only take certain kinds of items.
--MULTI-LANGUAGE SUPPORT-
Mutiny Island will be playable in multiple languages on release.
The languages available are English, Russian, Simplified. Additional languages will arrive shortly after launch.
--STRANDED--
If you find yourself trapped on some faraway island, try and break down a few trees to craft yourself a Temporary Raft!
--RESOLUTION--
Mutiny Island can be played in a variety of resolutions. Change the resolution in game at anytime using the Options menu.
