Good news, pirates - we are almost finished with development of the last big story DLC. Expect closed beta quite soon! Plus, enjoy the patch!
What's new:
Regatta quest is fixed;
A huge number of English localization fixes;
Achievments should work properly now;
Courier quests for Willemstad's governor should work properly now;
The sea and weather effects have been set to their ver. 1.4 state in order to get rid of graphical artifacts and also to improve overall stability.
Good hunting!
Community Survey - please participate!
Ahoy!
We have a massive horizon of work to do this year for Sea Dogs, however we lack resources to do everything we want, therefore we ask you guys to take part in this short survey and share with us your feedback.
We have to see the whole picture before we set priorities for internal development.
Hope you are doing well today! Though we are still developing the biggest DLC so far, there is always a room for minor updates.
Today we have enabled Steam Cloud support for Sea Dogs. It's currenltly on beta, you can't be sure of anything with this game engine.
Please tell us in the comments if it's working correctly and you are not experiencing any issues with the game.
Thank you and good hunting!

Flying the Jolly Roger DLC is now available in English!
Ahoy!
Big day today! Or should we say better late than never?
Flying the Jolly Roger DLC is now available in English. It's heavily overdue and we apologize for this. Unfortunately, so far we have only one tester and one programmer working on the game which is devastating in terms of timing.
NEW GAME IS REQUIRED
If you want to keep playing on the previous version - please choose it in betas.
Yet, we are not abandoning the game and continue working on it. Next DLC will be a massive final act of Charles de Maure story arc and it will be available in English immediately on release.
Another great news: we are thinking of giving a free access to the game's scripts so you guys will finally have an unlimited freedom to mod it. Our publisher have already greenlit this decision, but we would like to hear your opinion first. Do you want to have an opportunity to tweak and mod the game?
By the way, if you'd like to become a tester of Sea Dogs, you are most welcome to send me a message here on Steam.
Good hunting and stay tuned!

Crew meeting
Ahoy!
No doubt you have a huge amount of questions for us. And we shall deliver them. Let's start doing crew meetings on the regular basis, it may seem that we value our Russian community more, but it is not true.
If you have anything to report directly to the devs, please write to blackmark_poll (at) list.ru with a topic "Crew wants to know". Feel free to write about anything. Complains, bug reports, suggestions - you will be heard.
First item.
English translation of the latest DLC is in progress. We are sorry for the delay, but we had terribly screwed up with DX9 and it had drawn our resources for a time. Now we can focus on finally getting it transalted and delivered to you as we promised.
Second item.
Meanwhile, we are developing the final expansion to Charles's story - the French national questline. When it's done, we will move to another hero and his story.
Third item.
It seems that translation is bad beyond measure. The reason for that is the game had being translated by multiple translators without a proper cooperation. Surely, we must see a way to fix it, even though it will be a gigantic piece of work since the game has an enormous amount of text. Perhaps you have any suggestion on the matter? What parts of the game are the worst translated? What should we fix first?
That's it for today. Please comment and write us to the email above.
Good hunting!

Патч 1.5.1
Эй, на корабле!
Как и обещали в трансляции, мы выпускаем очередной патч (6.9 MB), который должен решить ряд крупных проблем, вызванных DX9 и дополнением "Под черным флагом".
Что нового:
Откат до DX8 - очевидно, что девятку мы пока не можем осилить;
Персонажи "Саги" теперь адекватно реагируют на прохождение игроком последнего DLC;
Ряд исправлений в "Под черным флагом".
Вылетов должно стать сильно меньше. А мы пока уходим в разработку французской национальной линейки.=)
Удачной охоты!
