Tonight's build includes a bunch of updates that makes factions more dangerous!
When flying in the overhead map mode, ships from factions you have low notoriety with may attack you.
- If a ship decides to attack it will chase you, firing it's cannons.
- If this ship gets close enough, it will pull you into a battle.
- There is a timer for when this can happen again so you don't constantly get attacked by factions you have low notoriety with.
- The game now pauses when you open the overhead map. This is to allow controller support to more easily select a convoy. Controller support for the map will be in a future update.
- Whenever a convoy reaches a home island there is a chance it might upgrade some of the ships. This is more likely as you grow your fleet.
- All UI can how be closed with the ESC key
In case you didn't notice it, Pirate Dragons now has an official release date - August 5th!
In the coming weeks I will be finishing up systems (like controller support) and adding a few more systems, such as achievements. After that, most of my focus is going to be on optimizations, polish, and bug fixing.
Don't forget to join the Pirate Dragons playtest!
