Caribbean Legend News

[h2]Ahoy![/h2]

A batch of fixes has been implemented over the past week, consolidating numerous smaller patches. We're confident that we've addressed all major blockers up to this point, allowing us to fully focus on Patch 1.1 moving forward.

The first major patch will be released soon and will include a ton of stuff: alongside fixes, quest and balance adjustments, and some of the content we promised during the pre-release stage, it will introduce entirely new content that hasn't been revealed anywhere previously.

In addition, on March 15th the will be the first post-release dev diary in which I will provide a sales summary, share some insights and present the first draft of Caribbean Legend's update roadmap.

What's New:

What's new:

• Fixed Isla Mona crew storage limit.

• Implemented stealth checks when confronted by guards, even without raising a neutral/friendly flag on the ship - this is a rather significant feature that forgot to include in the release version.

• Made numerous fixes to The Caleuche, including the ship and the associated quest.

ːjollyrː Patch 1.1 is currently in progress and slated for release on March 15th. Alongside various adjustments, it will incorporate many of the features we initially promised but couldn't implement in time for the initial release.

ːjollyrː On March 15th, we will also provide an overview of the first month's results, unveil the roadmap for upcoming updates, and outline the future plans for the game and the series.

ːjollyrː Our main priority now is to fix bugs and blockers. Things are going really well so far and it looks like we will be able to take care of the most of tech issues in the next three weeks. Additionally, we are working on fixing the English translation, which has been ready for a while, but integrating it into the code is a manual labor and it is taking some time.

ːjollyrː We've hired several full-time employees to take care of 3D, 2D and animations. Finally we are getting somewhere.

ːjollyrː Steam Cards are ready and have been sent to Valve for approval.

ːjollyrː We are currently working on three more localizations: Spanish, German, and Ukrainian. Actually, it is not "we" as developers, but rather a heroic community effort.

The Spanish localization is the most extensive at the moment, thanks to Jtem and Escorpion. You can tag them in our Discord if you wish to participate.

The German translation is being handled by Skinny - you can leave comments on his mod if you're interested in contributing.

As for the Ukrainian translation, it's being undertaken by utconoss, the founder of BlackMark Studio, therefore ensuring high-quality results.

If you're keen on seeing your own language supported, consider creating a mod similar to Skinny's on our Steam Workshop - we'll reach out to you and offer any assistance possible.
