[h3]🎄 ⭐ New Items and Decorations! ⭐ 🎄 [/h3]

• Trees, Presents, Wreaths, and Garlands! Found at the Tropical Trader. These can be placed via build menu. To spawn the Tropical trader, you may need to defeat nearby Pirate Trade Blockade ships.
  

[h3] ❄ Shoot Snowflakes from Your Ships ❄ [/h3]

• New Holiday Cannons at Tropical Trader Shop. Place one in your ship to change cannons to a Frost effect. They are not consumed on use. You can find this item at the Tropical Trader.
  

[h3]🐞 Other Changes and Critical Bug Fixes 🐞[/h3]

• Fixed a critical input issue where the camera would not turn full 360 on some wireless peripheral devices. This was caused due to a conflict in input data when multiple peripherals were used simultaneously.
  
• Fixed an issue with crouching in shallow water causing the animation to glitch out
  
• Optimized the input module to fix an input glitch caused when players were in build mode
  
• Optimized network module to minimize network latency related issues.
  
• Optimized the world lighting for better performance (the world will feel a bit more lively!)
  
• Added some lights to the Merchant Ship encounter
  
• Looking at a dropped item and pressing F will now pick up that particular item, instead of another item. This change is done to allow players to be able to pick up only select items should they choose to. If no item is being looked at, pressing F will continue to pick up random nearby items. Spamming F will continue to pick up all items nearby.
  

We have addressed some critical issues in this update. We will now shift our focus on some upcoming content updates! So, stay tuned for some content updates soon!

[h3] The Runaway Boat - Multiplayer Fix[/h3]
We are happy to announce that we have fixed a network glitch that caused a boat to become unresponsive to commands in multiplayer mode. At times, leading it to continue to move (run away). This caused the boat to get lost at Sea.

This happened due to a file conflict in the network loading module between the client and the server.
Normally, after a failed or incomplete update. If you have encountered this issue, we apologize. This bug fix took longer than expected to fix as it was hard to replicate it on our end. We had been tracking this issue for several months. A big thank you to those who sent us their save files to help us investigate this issue.


Please remember to leave us reviews! Every little bit helps!

[/p][h2]👫💻We are gamers just like you![/h2][p]Forgotten Seas was born from a maelstrom of passion that defied common sense. Two Gamers, turned Game Devs on a whim, decided to take on one of the most challenging genres of game design. Despite being discouraged by many, we told each other that we would be happy even if a single player played our game and loved it! Today Forgotten Seas is played by thousands of players all across the world and growing. This brings immense joy to our hearts! With our latest update, we embark on a new journey!

[/p][h3]🧩More content inbound! [/h3][p]Mind you, that we are not done. 1.0 does not mean the end. It is just a version number. There will be 1.1, 1.2...and more. We want to give you more! There will still be continued updates and improvements. While there is still room for improvement, there are hundreds of hours of fun to be had in our game. We believe the game is ready for the floodgates to open.


[/p][h2]📜What's NEW in 1.0[/h2][p]We present you a new and improved Forgotten Seas! For a list of improvements made through the course of Early Access, check out our previous post here. We are going to get right to the business end of our new Dreadnaught Class Ship, the Justicar.

[/p][h2]🏴‍☠️The Justicar Rises - a new ship in a new era! [/h2][p] A fearsome 200-foot dreadnaught is now available to all! The ship that will make sure that justice prevails in the tumultuous void of the Bermuda Triangle. This multiple decked monstrosity, resistant to all types of damage (including half-life damage) is capable of withstanding the onslaught of the army of the most feared pirate "Bone Gravy". Obtaining this ship is going to require proof that you are worthy of it! Are you prepared?


[/p][h2]⚔ New Gravy Bones Encounter[/h2][p]
In search of yet another artifact (a Temporal Hourglass) that contains the secret to unfurling time itself, you must face the enemy that holds on to it. Bone Gravy - part ghost, part beast, is a formidable enemy who allegedly cannot be killed. With Commander Half-Life as his right hand, his army causes chaos in the Forgotten Seas. Can you figure out a way to defeat him amidst his forces?


[/p][h2]🤸Be a busy bee![/h2][p]Looking for more things to do? Forgotten Seas can keep you busy for hours!

Here are a few ideas:

[/p][h3]👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Play with friends and family![/h3][p]Did you know that Forgotten Seas features 4-player co-op mode? You can play with other players on Steam! We think the game is more fun when played with friends! So go ahead, and get your friends in the game or join our Discord to find other players!
[/p][h3] 🚤 Build "Ships To Go" [/h3][p]Be it for yourself or your comrades, you can craft a ship in a bottle to go! Forgotten Seas features a unique ship crafting, spawning, and storage system. Craft a ship in a bottle and carry it in your satchel wherever you go! Toss the bottle in the middle of the ocean and spawn a ship, and don't worry, it's just as easy to put a fully grown ship back in the bottle for safekeeping.
