Ahoy mateys!
We hope you’ve been enjoying the Kraken Keep and Icy Caverns, because the next island is already on the horizon. Let’s take a look at the upcoming Lunar New Year update.
Sail damage
Ladies and gentle-pirates, soon Blazing Sails will finally have ACTUAL BLAZING SAILS:
Here's a WIP sneak peek:
You probably know the feeling of aiming too high and seeing your cannonball magically whizz through an enemy sail. Well, no more! With the Lunar New Year update, we will be adding sail damage. Damaged sails will cause your ship to sail slower. Of course, these can be repaired easily by simply hammering your masts. This added feature will add an extra twist to the current gameplay and can be very handy during a chase situation.
Lunar Lands
The Lunar Lands are a collection of steep rocks connected by wooden bridges. Though it has been long since abandoned, there’s still plenty of loot to be found, and the tall buildings make for excellent sniping spots!
Here's a little foretaste
Lunar New Year Cosmetics
Of course, no celebration is complete without some new cosmetics! We’ve got some oxcellent ideas cooked up for the year of the ox. Stay tuned for more.
Without further ado, here's the updated roadmap:

Re: Optimisation
To those asking for better optimisation -- we hear you! Our new team members are eager to jump on this issue. We've recently recruited a new programmer at Get Up Games to help further polish and improve Blazing Sails. We've also found an external partner that will focus on nativising our project. If all goes well this should definitely improve the overall performance. Later this year we've got a few interns joining our team. We believe they'll be able to learn a lot during their stay but also contribute in the further development of our game.
Long story short: some nice updates and optimisations are on the way. The future is looking bright and we simply can't wait to continue further development!
