Rotten Sails News

[p]It’s been about a month, and I know you’ve been waiting.

Since the demo, I’ve been going through your feedback and turning it into improvements, one step at a time. I also took a short reset to come back with a clear head, fully focused again now.[/p][p]With everything going on lately and moving forward with Steam Next Fest, things have been intense, but progress is steady. And honestly, I’m really enjoying this journey. I’ve met so many amazing people along the way :)[/p][p]This is a solo project, so it takes time, but the ship is moving forward.
Quiet on the surface, busy below deck. ⚓️
Thank you for being here.[/p][p][/p]

[p]Hey Sailors,

The feedback from Next Fest & Scream Fest was massive. Thousands of you played the demo and wishlisted the game, which is incredible for a solo dev. Thank you!

That early demo was a valuable test. Based on all your feedback, I'm taking the demo offline for now so I can fully focus on the next major update.

The playtest will be back soon! Here’s the plan so you know what's next:

[/p]

• [p]Within 2 Months: Demo to come back online (with the new improvements). [/p]
• [p]Within 3 Months: I'll share the full Roadmap (hopefully with the Early Access date!). [/p]

🎯 Key bindings

🧹 UI cleanup and fixes[/p][p]These were the most requested features after the Fest, so I wanted to deliver them first.
Some parts might still be rough, but I’ll keep polishing them over time.[/p][p]From now on, the focus shifts to content, new areas, runs, and story pieces.
I know the demo doesn’t have much content yet... but that’s about to change.[/p][p]Things are going to get a lot more terrifying soon. 😈[/p][p]⚓ Stay tuned, and thanks again for being part of Rotten Sails![/p]
