Pixel Piracy News

Hey!

The new small minor update is now up. I wanted to do this today so that i can collect some data over the week, as i have updated Linux and Mac versions as well. If you are a Mac or Linux user, let me know if the game works.

• Fixed a few memory leaks and improved performance.
  
• Added World Map, Roster, and Ship Builder Ship Hotkey Tiles that you can buy from the Ship Shop; these Tiles allow you to quickly jump to these menus from the actual ship when you click those Tiles.
  
• Main Menu now has News Section.
  

Hey Gang!

Update 1.2.22 is now available!

Check the patch notes below.

• Main Menu has been cleaned up, and I added Facebook, Twitter, and Discord Links.
  
• QOL: Pirate Stats Menu now shows Status Effect Information near the Stats.
  
• QOL: You can now click Pirate Skills to Level Up them if you have skill books for that said skill.
  
• QOL: Shops now show stock supply for each item.
  
• Balance: Agility Dodge Boost changed from 5% to 3%.
  
• Fishing: There is now a 7% Chance of finding a Scrap or Empty Bottle; you can sell them for money.
  

The next Update is going to be available next Friday, as always.

Stay tuned!

This is Developer Message #3.

I have some news for everyone; for the next 1-2 Months, i will focus primarily on QOL Updates, which means about 8 QoL Updates. I have some news for everyone; for the next 1-2 Months, i will focus primarily on QOL Updates, which means about 8 QoL Updates. I want to note that this is a systemic approach that works for me, one update a week, no pressure; the update can be small or big.

Some people wanted that i would do QOL Stuff sooner, but it would not work for me because i am still trying to decide if Pixel Piracy is Job for me or a Passion project that i do for fun. But now that i have made all the content like Hell, which is essentially an Arena mode, and other stuff, it gives me time to analyze how that content performs and then, after QOL Updates, decide how i add depth to these systems.

The way I will work on QOL Stuff is purely based on this discord list:
https://discord.gg/BKKmFKpQk9

I will choose the most voted stuff and try to implement what is possible; it's for the community.

Alongside regular Friday updates, i want to start working on the website because, as of right now, the game has no official website beyond this steam page, Twitter, and Facebook profile.

I was talking a lot about how i would work on the game until Summer, after which i will revisit my relationship with the game. After working on the game for some time and seeing people liking it, i think it would be a wasted opportunity if i did not continue supporting it, at least for the whole of 2023, but we will see how that will go. At some point, i would take a Summer break to spend more time with my kids and wife, so don't expect much activity when Summer begins.

I also rebranded and removed the classic word; I will be removing the classic word in steps; the pre-2023 version should be the classic, not the other way around; the idea came from wow classic.

Have a good one, everyone, and stay tuned for Friday's QOL Update!
