Big update 2 : The missing treasure (v0.7) is coming soon!
Hi everyone!
Today we have great news!The second big update of Portobugia called The Missing Treasure is here! This update focuses on improving ships inspection!
The new boat generation system
We updated the way boats are generated. Now, this is a procedural system, it allows for a much bigger diversity of boats without adding too many new parts. Also, ships now have doors and windows that can be opened. Be sure to open them because there can be artifacts hidden everywhere!
We added a small feature that inverts the position of the things you need to inspect. As you can see here, the flag and ship name is inverted. The player must pay attention to not fall into this small trap!
Along with a remake of the "Pier". It now has a crane and a beautiful animation with it!
The museum
The artifacts you gather when inspecting ships arrive in the museum. In the museum, you can inspect them to gain knowledge, or you can just sell them for money!
The factory
The factory is a new building for the late game. It is unlocked after researching electricity and clearing the forest. As you can see in the picture below (WIP of the interface), the factory will have different recipes with different inputs and outputs.
With the factory comes a new resource: Scrap! It will be produced in the factory, the quantity will depend on the recipe that has been selected. Scraps will be used in events and in the Dockyard for repairing ships faster!
And more
With the addition of the factory and museum, we needed to update the tech tree. We decided to change its overall look to be more cartoony!

Big update 1 : The fog village (v0.6) is coming soon!
Hi everyone! Today we have great news! Today, I will present you the first big update of Portobugia called The Fog Village! This update will be released in 1 month! This first update focuses on adding content to the game along with adding a new map to play with!
The new map
This is the current (or old depending on when you see this post):
And this is the new map: We have changed the map because we wanted to have something a bit more alive! It also makes it like the port is more real and not floating alone in the void :). We hope you like the change! For us, it creates new opportunities to make different maps in the game. These maps will have a different world around them!
The new tech tree
The tech tree has changed too, the space is better used and it looks a lot clearer than before! For example, before, to construct the fishing dock you needed to buy an upgrade in the sawmill but with how was designed the tech tree you were not able to understand it. Now it is clearly shown in the tech tree! We also added 4 new technologies: medicine, disinfection, wires, and Baudot. Now, to construct the telegraph you will need to research wires and Baudot first. Moreover, the telegraph has more upgrades! Disinfection is required for one of the new upgrades in the game. The upgrade is also called disinfection and it lowers the chance of infection of the boats that come in the pier (very useful for mid/late game).
New flags, names, and serial numbers for ships
We added a lot of new flags as you can see! We hope that it will reduce repetitiveness during the inspection. Along with these new flags, we added new names and new serial numbers.
New events
The event where a car breaks down now has a picture! Along with this, new broken versions of the car and the truck have been created! Now, There are events that will have more complex effects than just giving/removing resources! For example, we have a "Strikes" event where employees of the port ask for better wages! You can accept their demands but their wages will increase or refuse and their productivity will be reduced!
That's all for today! Thank you for reading! See you!
