Turn Based Fest Stream

Ahoi,

we're participating in the Turn Based Fest!

Enjoy the festival!

Demo Version 0.8.5

Hey everyone,

While version 0.8.5 brings a lot of changes under the hood, as we completed the multiplayer feature for the full game.
Bug fixes for controller support are the only bigger change visible for now in the demo, though.

  • Updated Input System
  • Corrected swapped button glyphs for Switch Pro Controllers
  • Added animation to Player Setup screen
  • Fixed input issues with UI in some edge cases
  • Undoing the exploration of a tile now correctly hides that tiles score again


Hope you enjoy the quality of life changes.

Happy sailing!

Demo Version 0.7.30

Hey everyone,

Version 0.7.30 brings a cleaner UI and proper support for all modern controllers with correct icons 🎮


  • Updated User Interface for easier readability
  • Fixed Controller Input Issues regarding the "How to Play" popup and settings menu
  • Extended controller input icons for controllers:
    • Steamdeck
    • Xbox One Controllers
    • Dualshock (Playstation 4 Controllers)
    • DualSense (Playstation 5 Controllers)
    • Switch Pro Controllers

These updates should make gameplay using controllers much smoother.

Happy sailing!

Demo Version 0.7.24

Hey everyone,

Version 0.7.24 of the demo brings full controller support, detailed placement indicators and much more ⛵️



  • Full Controller Support (leave us some feedback! We know there is some room for improvement)
  • Placement Indicators finally showing why tiles may not be placed in invalid locations (wrong edges, unreachable by boat)
  • Score for each Tile is always shown by default (can be disabled in settings)
  • German Localisation (The first of many languages to come)
  • Tutorial can be reset or disabled in Settings
  • Several bug fixes to general UI behaviour regarding hand tiles and 3d previews of tiles


We have been hard at work and hope you enjoy the improvements to the demo!

Happy sailing!
