Update 1.6.4.4: Storm Setting, More Conquest Maps and news about Full Launch
Ahoy Mateys!
Time for another update! But before that we’ve got something to talk about...
Many of you might have already gotten your hard earned pirate gold ready to buy Blazing Sails for yourself or a friend upon full release later this month. In the meantime we’ve been hard at work fixing the last bugs and improving the game even more to get it all set up. However, reflecting on the game as a team, we realised we don't think we're done with Early Access. The reason we released in EA from the very beginning has been to receive player feedback and get Blazing Sails to a place we're uniformly proud of - and we don't think we're there yet.
That being said, we don’t want to leave you pirates in the dark. Therefore we’ve decided to already release the Storm Setting and Extra Conquest Maps in this free update!
We’d also like to take this opportunity to ask for a bit of feedback from you all! What do you think about the current state of the game? What can we add for a successful full launch? And why? We’d love to find out what you think of all this. Therefore we have created this handy form
Thanks in advance for the valuable feedback pirates! On a sidenote, we're working on some major plans we'll be able to reveal soon™! Hope you’re excited.
