[h2]Ahoy, Sailors![/h2]
[h3]I've extended the Alpha period by 24 hours to give you more time to conquer the seas![/h3]

[h2]OUTPOSTS![/h2]

Last time we talked about the crew members available for hiring in the alpha. To wrap things up, I would love to focus your attention onto one of the key parts of Nautical Survival: THE OUTPOSTS! The seas are filled with islands, some of which have outposts that you can to gear up for your journey and improve your chances of survival at sea.
  • Lighthouse - Located at the center of the sea, sheds its light and filled with eager recruits.
  • Shop - Your place for buying and upgrading your arsenal of weapons.
  • Factory - Generates coins to fund your journey and expand your cargo.
  • Garage - Use as a pit stop for when your boat is filled with too many holes.
  • Post Office - Deliver letters and crates to make some extra cash on the side.


[h3]More Alpha Features
[/h3]
7 boats, 10 crew members, 11 weapons, 15 enemies, 3 bosses, 5 buildings, 8 curses, and more!


[h2]Keep the Feedback Coming![/h2]

Enjoy the end of the Alpha!

[h2]Let's talk about CREW![/h2]

Last time I reviewed the boats available in the alpha. Today I would love to turn the spotlight onto one of the key parts of Nautical Survival: THE CREW! From fearless explorers to expert combatants, and even the adorable (yet vicious) Otter, each crew member brings a unique skillset that can shift the tides in your favor.
  • Biologist - A menace against marine life, with added knockback to keep enemies at bay.
  • Deckhand - The all-arounder, improving many stats and expands cargo capacity.

  • Gunner - Firepower expert favoring guns, slows enemies for a tactical edge.
  • Mechanic - Boosts hull durability and tech weapons, dealing big damage on collision.
  • Merchant - Cuts costs for buildings, crew and weapons, boosts delivery earnings.
  • Navigator - Spots enemies early, extends range, and improves handling for precision.
  • Otter - An adorable high-risk, high-reward mascot which thrives in the dark.
  • Racer - The evasive speed demon that enjoys racing and provides extra promotions.
  • Raider - Explosives expert, expands blast range, adds lasting damage on each hit.
