Hello there fellow pirates, we have big news for you! 

Again, thanks  to you all for following our game on itch.io, we wanted to make a quick note on the evolution of the project as it has changed quite a bit over the last weeks and, by the way, you'll be happy to know that we now also have a steam page (feel free to wishlist if you're interested), you can find it here :

So what are the big changes? 

Well, first, we have a title : Chest Mate! We hope you like it!

Secondly, on his end, 8umpty (Axel) has been going crazy about creating levels and new mechanics. We now have more than 25 maps with 2 difficulty levels available (10 of which are available in the update) as well as new intereactive objects such as an explosive barrel, a brasero, a shot multiplier and more to come... You can test those mechanics here :

Feel free to let us know your feedback through the form, your input is super important to us!

Finally, on my end, I (K0b4l) have been busy updating the visuals :  new UI, Skeleton animation, improving tile sets, changing the water shader, updating the cannon visuals and adding FXs, creating new ennemies and more... I hope you like the direction the DA has been taking so far, feel free to let us know through the form! As a reminder, here are a few screenshot to show where we come from and where we are now.

That is all for today but we will be keeping you up to date ! 

As you may now, we will be sharing a monthly devlog related to our experience during that one year of game developing. You can follow us here :
