Hi there me lads!
We've been very busy lately with some long term stuff which is why it's been a bit quiet last few weeks. But we've also been working on a new update which we're releasing today!
Today's update includes a complete new Tiki inspired set, ancient crowns, new ancient tattoos, new facial hair types, new earrings and more!
We've also added some awesome new level based unlockables on the progression timeline, like a grim reaper bow figure, a monocle, a dagger in the mouth and more!
So far we've added 5 unlockable cosmetics to the first few levels and 1 towards the end of the progression timeline. This is only the first of many to come though, as we will add more and more with each new update! Upcoming items include unique peg legs, hats, hooks, face items and more!
Aside from new cosmetics we've also reworked conquest a bit by reducing the amount of active flags from 3 to 1 to create a bit more conflict and shift the focus more on combat instead of running around the map capturing flags. We're still very much tweaking the conquest gamemode so keep in mind that changes like these are still experimental. We've also fixed some exploits and improved ship respawning so it's no longer possible to spawnkill new ships. Aside from that the ticket depletion is now also based on server player amount and crew size.
We've also vastly improved the tutorial with many more visual cues, cleaner tooltips, new animations and more in-between steps to make the tutorial experience as easy to follow as possible.
And that's not all! We've now also enabled the Steam Community items! Trading cards, badges, backgrounds and emoticons can now be collected!
