Discord Rich Presence
This update brings with it the addition of Discord's Rich Presence feature! What is that you ask? It is a dandy feature of Discord (the IRC software) that provides details about the game you are currently playing.
We've set it up to show some minor updates about what you are doing in Don't Sink. Pretty cool right? Obviously you can disable Rich Presence in your Discord settings if you would like. This is an optional feature.

Important bug fixes
Turns out ships have been dropping tons of beef and water for pretty much no reason at all. There was also some memory leaks and mismatched information that could occur when boarding ships. All this has been resolved and so you can expect more stability.
New content & features
- Quest, Rigby's Treasure (Mairyporan, Shipyard)
- Discord Rich Presence (Thanks Babyjeans)
Minor changes
- Black Shore now has black sand
- NPCs walking around islands will no longer stand near interaction locations
- Boarding combat can now show specific characters via quests, for example you might talk to someone, board them, and actually fight specifically that person
Bug fixes and performance improvements
- Progress bar on the travel screen would keep going after the end when it's fading to the island screen
- Fixed quest related ship battles only showing four crew members in some cases
- Fixed issues regarding boarding an enemy and quitting
- Fixed issues regarding boarding an enemy from a quest
- Item lists for pirate ships were being modified improperly, often would add beef/water to item list
As always... stay salty sea dogs!
