First, let us thank you all for an amazing trust and support you are giving us since February. The game was originally released on Steam in 2012 but only 3 years later it is actually shining here. And that is thanks to you. Okay, we did our part too (a small one!) but Sea Dogs: To Each His Own is your game as much as ours. Thank you.
If you are a fresh pirate recruit who was dragged to our shores just recently, please make sure to read this Open Letter. It's quite interesting in our opinion.
The Final Lesson DLC is live! We apologize for a three week delay, but we are a small team and for us, it's hard sometimes to tame the gamedev kraken. ːboardingː
The DLC is still not visible everywhere on Steam, but you can purchase and play it right now!

About DLC:
Five quests plus a bonus one.
All quests are designed for the early game with a level cap 4-12. The bonus quest has a level 14 cap.
Every quest can be started on French islands before The Dutch Gambit quest line.
This is a story of Charles's first months in the Caribbean, it's about hard lessons he has to learn if he wants to survive the storm to come.
Rewards are various and include money, weapons, experience and a new quest boarding officer;
New achievement;
Reworked polacre model.
This is the very first major content update we planned, there is more to come. Hope you enjoy it!
Good hunting!
Suum cuique

DLC is coming soon, please stay tuned.

Coming soon - DLC #2 and DirectX 9
Ahoy!
It's been magical two months, thank you for all love and support you gave the game. We feel ourselves very comfortable on Steam so far but we didn't plunder the Golden Fleet yet. Every adventure demands patience and commitment from every crew memeber, so let us show you that we are worthy of it.
By the way, check our open letter in case you missed it: http://steamcommunity.com/games/223330/announcements/detail/65668531643437205
:boarding:Two great news for you:boarding:
DLC #2 is coming soon in April!
Sea Dogs: To Each His Own: The Final Lesson
[IMG]http://i67.tinypic.com/2pq7xg9.png[/IMG]
Do you remeber this fellow? He is yet to surprise you...
Seven new quests, dangerous challenges and adequate rewards for captains below level 8 who haven't yet started 'The Dutch Gambit' plot line.
New game will not be required.
We are just getting started - there is more to come in terms of new content.
DirectX 9 support to be availble soon
Including better shaders, water, sky boxes, better shadows and probably a significant decrease of game crahes.
A couple of screenshots to give you an idea...

This is big for us. The game is currently on DX8 but if we want it to live forever another few years, changes must be done and this is the very first step on the road of re-building the 2003 engine. Wish us luck!
This should be interesting.
Good hunting!

From Devs With Love - An Open Letter
Ahoy!
A theme to listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAPwVUKT51s&index=28&list=PLCCB2FE54B604E7FB
This is an open letter from BlackMark Studio to English-speaking players who might be or already are interested in this game. Sea Dogs: To Each His Own is the newest (released in 2012, yay!) game of Sea Dogs series which always was extremely popular in Russia and had a warming reception worldwide. Internationally it is also known as Age of Pirates.
The ocean of freedom...
There is a chance that you probably haven't heard of Sea Dogs games before. It short, any Sea Dogs game is about becoming the most rich, famous, popular, deadliest son of the devil in vast open world archipelago.
If you want refs, see games like SM Pirates!, Port Royal, Age of Sails, Tempest, AC: Black Flag. As for movies, it's Master & Commander all the way.

Sea Dogs: To Each His Own was originally realeased December 7, 2012 in Russian only. Although we received the most positive reviews from our players (thank you!), it didn't go as well as we expected due to poor marketing and piracy.
It took years to build our team back together and to translate the game, which was no small task since we couldn't afford professional translators to deal with enourmous amount of text. Just a thought, but we should make a book of it!
We are also very sorry to all our English-speaking fans, especially to PA! community for constant delaying, but it's over now, the english edition is ready to set sail on early February.
Red pants and red coat
We shall be constantly supporting the game with patches and if it sells well we can promise you more DLCs, expansions and addons. SD: TEHO was made by fans for fans and we hope that more people will join us.
We promise you an exciting 100 hours long adventure and challenging experience. Bon voyage and remember: to each his own!
Audaces fortuna juvat!
Sincerely yours,
BlackMark Studio
P.S. We want to thank Pirates Ahoy Community (http://www.piratesahoy.net) for their support and their faith in us, especially Franek Jureczka aka fjx and Pieter Boelen!
