Unfortunately next week's patch is delayed to the 3rd of July. :'(
BUT it will have more fixes and some more items than originally planned! Do watch the stream recap for details on how many awesome things are in the works and timelines.
The summer sale is now full STEAM ahead, so you should have received your summer item codes in your inbox (or somewhere around it)! This is a perfect opportunity to try rope your buddies into Worlds Adrift, and maybe even try out some other Bossa titles! Obviously Worlds is BEST.
All-Weekend Events
Creative Writing: Submissions will go HERE, the theme is Calypso!
Ship Design: The theme is obviously SUMMER – go wild!
But remember, your prize is your ship immortalised in Dan Lish’s art. Build something you are proud of and submit it in THIS THREAD.
Scavenger Hunt: Have you solved Ryan's Riddles?
Riddle 1: A bright white light in the dead of night, Think quickly now, or invite the blight. No need to wait for dusk to dawn, First come, first serve - no respawn.
Riddle 2: Where finger and thumb doth meet together, Is where I've buried my cherished treasure. Knowledge you'll need, and knowledge you'll find. Find my loot to lower the grind.
Riddle 3: A public house that's closed it doors, The wings are clipped, the barrel's poured. One last drink is now at stake, A thirst for knowledge, it will slake.
If these places have already been looted, I left 3 more stashes in different locations!
Try your luck: you will find that taking screenshots of yourself at all 6 of the these islands may also bring you to a particular....well of goodness...? Type of Paradise, perhaps! If nobody finds our loot I I will be left to walk a very blue path.
Hints are all here. Enjoy.
For a more... Community experience try checking out these posts HERE and HERE.

Captain's Log: Spicy Annotations!
Greetings Travellers,
Ready for the week? YEAH YOU ARE! <3
News
Alliances are being worked on and tested THOROUGHLY. We are currently expecting them for 0.2.3, but that may likely change (we will update you next Captain's Log with far more certainty). It's a big feature and we would like it to work properly. We are also going full throttle on optimisations and fixes of other bugs that have been plaguing the game.
Awesome News
The Slick Update came out and about and introduced some sexy new uniforms! We also introduced some tweaks to the material stats meaning it's a tiny bit easier to build your first wooden ship! For full Patch Notes of the update click HERE!
The Mowgli and Baloo have also released a new video where they torture Luke with strange questions.

*Except the ones not fixed
* garbage collection - performing a type of performance optimisation where you prevent the application from allocating and de-allocating memory repeatedly. The later operation has to happen if you do the former, but it can trigger a process called garbage collection which is where the app needs to tidy up the existing allocations of memory in order to satisfy future allocation requests.
