Wednesday changes:

Fixed a possible case of the game getting stuck by leaving some pirates on other islands.
Lots of minor UI fixes to fit item names and other kinds of texts.
Changed some sounds and the in-game background music a bit.
Made the quest window be opened with 'Q', instead of 'S', as that was awkward.
Made some of the battles early in the game give some amount of Rusty iron as a reward, so that crafting some basic items can be possible earlier.
Thursday changes:

Updated the in-game menu design.
Made the battle map center in the view on entering the battle scene, and then move to the player positions.
Minor UI fixes.
