• Throwback and the Journey to 1.0 - 29 May 2026

  Road to 1.0Hi everyone! I am so happy that I can finally start focusing on Seablip's 1.0 release. This might take me some time—it might be sometime in 2027, as I have ambitious plans—but I will also try to keep the scope down. I am, after all, just one developer. My plan is mostly about adding more "juice" to existing systems, adding more quests, and improving what is already there. I want to polish the things that need polish, and continue to patch the game using all the helpful feedback I get from you. I also want to make items and food feel more valuable than they currently are. With the new Captain Update, items are now more useful; something that isn't explicitly stated in-game yet is that your crew will throw items from your inventory to you during duels. I will add a new HUD element for better control over this feature in the future.There will be lots of new things to explore, an…

• Hotfix 0.8.5_04 - 18 May 2026

  Gamepad - Virtual mouse is removed for now. It could cause selection to glitch in placement mode on Castle/Ship. - Mouse click no longer deselect focus. - Updated the Castle tutorial slightly to show how you currently switch selection from HUD to placement mode. - Gamepad have several known glitches, and might also have places where you get softlocked. Please let me know if you find anything. I will try patch it quick. - I would appreciate if you tell me how I can improve gamepad to feel more intuitive if you find places where you don't feel the controls is fluid. Bug fix - Previously found pocket crew can now visit you in tavern (built on home island). - Prison Island black screen. This is fixed and testet for some players, but let me know if you still experience it. Other - I have improved the odds for Pocket Crew.

• Seablip Captain Update - Available Now!! - 15 May 2026

  Hurray, a new major Seablip update is now live! This one has been real fun to work on, but also super tiresome. My head has been a thousand places at once, and it has been a very hectic balancing act with long work nights and family, but I made it.I really wanted to have this update out before the 2-year anniversary of Seablip on May 17th. I hope you like the new duel mechanic; this is a key element for how I imagined tying some of the story elements together in 1.0.There is some stuff I expected to have in this update that I had to skip just because time did not allow it. I felt the most important thing was to try polishing the new Captain Duel as much as possible. This does not mean it is perfect yet, but I hope it will be lots of fun.Let me know what you think about the new Captain Duel, and then I can adjust the balance if there is something that feels off.Controller SupportAnother…

• Next Major Update Expected in May! - 19 March 2026

  Hello everyone, I am still here and working on the next Major Seablip Update. I expect this to be ready in middle or end of May! I haven't been able to follow up on all your messages, but my work on Seablip continue! I am very excited to get it out! ːsteamhappyːCaptain BattleHere is a VERY early work in progress video of the new Captain Battle. As you can see, it offers a slightly different perspective. I hope this will give more variation and fun experiences while playing Seablip. Your crew is cheering for you and can throw you items to aid you in battle. These items are picked from your inventory, so plan accordingly. I intend Captain battle to be an alternative way to solve ship battles. Perhaps not always available, but sometimes you can choose to solve a conflict Captain v.s Captain or a normal ship battle. I hope this will offer new challenges and more ways to connect with yout cr…

• Roadmap Update! - 18 December 2025

  Ahoy everyone! Thank you so much for all the incredible feedback on the new Castle Update - it makes my job 1000 times easier when you are so good at sharing bugs, explaining what you like and dislike about the game, and discussing what you wish I would add and change. I think it is time for me to make an update on Seablip’s Roadmap. Just a quick recap first on Seablip’s milestones: 17 May 2024 - Seablip released in Early Access October 2024 - Wizard & Flag UpdateDecember 2025 - Castle UpdateI know some of you didn’t like the long wait between the Wizard & Flag to this Update. I understand you! In my defense: I have two kids now. Life has been hectic - luckily, they are a little older now, and I have more time (less sleep) to concentrate on new updates. I am fully dedicated to getting Seablip to 1.0!I also know some people are asking when gamepad support will become better. Some Steam D…

• HOTFIX Seablip Version 0.8.030 - 15 December 2025

  NEWGame Difficulty setting!! (Easy, normal, hard) - This is a work in progress. I might need to adjust a lot! I am trying to balance the normal version most. The Easy and Hard settings have not been tested much. Any feedback on the difficulty settings is very valuable for me, so I started a new Steam Thread for this: Seablip Difficulty FeedbackChangesRepairing a captured ship only costs wood and, in some cases, wood and iron (Meaning it is easier to capture a new ship).Enemy skill point balance change: reduced skill pointsEnemy Crew Level reduced slightly for ship/castle battleCrew Attack Damage is reduced slightly. Defending crew has +1 attack damage more than the boarding crew (previous +2)Crew attack speed is removed, and is currently equal for everyoneDouble Barrel Cannon reload speed increased (fixed from version 0.8.025)Potion Lover skill has changed. This skill now revives the cr…

• Small Update 0.7.661 - New Autosave Feature - 4 October 2025

  NewAutosave is added each time you enter the world map (sailing). This can be toggled on/off in settings. Note: For old seadogs, the autosave feature is turned off, so you would need to turn it on in settings! For new players, it will start on. I know several people have requested this feature, so I hope this can be of benefit for those who like the game to save more often. Autosave is an option, so for those who like to keep the old save system, just make sure to toggle off autosaves. This should also work when you are doing a world map challenge (it saves after each battle). So those who want an easier playthrough can load if they lose. Or for those who need to stop playing and want to continue the challenge next time they play Seablip. Please let me know if you experience any bugs with this new system. I have done my best to keep it bug-free, and I also added a second backup of your…

• Seablip Sets Sail for Tokyo Game Show 2025 - 12 September 2025

  Hi everyone, I know you are eagerly waiting for new updates! Due to my family situation and that I am the only developer of Seablip, the journey towards 1.0 release is taking a little longer than anticipated. However, my dedication remains as strong as it was in the beginning. As my children are getting older now, I'm able to focus more on creative development. I am trying to keep steady progress, without too much stress. This means it takes a little longer between updates, as I want to ensure I am making content with quality and soul. I am sorry to all those who are eagerly waiting for new updates. And your patience is greatly appreciated! I just want to make it clear that I am still fully committed working on Seablip. I have worked a lot on the next update, and will continue to keep a steady course towards Seablip´s 1.0 release. Looking forward to making it the pixel pirate adventure…

• Steam Workshop - German & French localization - Bug fix - 24 June 2025

Seablip version 0.7.626 is out now, and you can now upload and download mods from Steam Workshop! ːsteamthisːSteam Workshop IntegrationYou can now upload your mods to Steam Workshop and subscribe to other mods. Use the Mod buttons on the start menu to enable/disable mods.Let me know if you have wishes/feedback to support mods better.French and German localizationThanks to the help from super dedicated players, Seablip now has almost full German and French translations (some words and stuff might still need updating, so feel free to report any text errors). I have players helping out on other languages too, but Seablip is text-heavy, so it takes time - I will update with new languages when I get it, and if you would like to help out with localization, you can reach me from here: https://seablip.com/contact-1Modding - Ship BuilderYou can now capture a modded ship! ːsteamhapp…

• Mod Support Update - 29 May 2025

  Hi everyone, as some of you already know, my family recently got a second family member, which is why I don't manage to be as active as I want to on the forum, but today, you finally got a new update: Mod Support Enemy Ship Creator You can now use an editor tool (found on the Start Menu of the game) to create as many enemy ships as you like. You can create your own art, and set the layout and difficulty + more. You can enable and disable mods as you like. Enemy Crew Creator You can generate your own homemade enemies and set the dedicated faction they belong to. (Use the spritesheet template to draw your own art.) This is the initial mod support and plans: Steam Workshop integration is next. Then you will be able to upload and download mods. Currently, players will not be able to capture modded ships, but I intend to support this later (but I need to make a safety system to handle missin…

• Update 0.7.55 - Localization Support, Bug Fix and some QOL - 16 February 2025

  Hi everyone! Sorry for the wait. I know a lot of you have asked for updates and this time it has taken me some time. My family is about to be +1 in size, and as most of you are aware, I am working on Seablip alone so things take a little longer than expected, but rest assured that I am still working fully committed to Seablip! :) The next big update will most likely take a little longer than I expected, but the next update is also a major one, so I hope you can keep up with me. On the bright side, I have some plans for a couple of quicker updates in the coming weeks. The next update I think some of you will appreciate a lot, it will add some light Modding support to create enemy ships. I wanted it to be ready for this update, but I have to postpone it until I get it integrated with Steam Workshop. I know this update does not cover all the bugs and feedback reported, but I hope it fixes…

Magic Magnet used in the same instant as the enemy ship is sunk could cause a visual glitch with the enemy crew I might or might not have fixed an issue where in certain victories the sail button only offers "Escape" (Let me know if you continue to win the battle, but do not get the option to "Sail") Visual bug. The Kick Crew menu did not work for a 6-size crew.

Forgot to add visible crew stats to crew in Magic Bottle, will update this in next update!! You can see crew likes and dislikes on gifts that are given before. (Retroactive) More cannon fire and impact sounds Changes Ship Upgrades is renamed to "Equipment", upgrades have never been a good word for it. (Since this affects a lot of text, let me know if you find a text error where it is still called an upgrade) Time steps are doubled, meaning it takes twice as long for time to go to night/new day. In the quest note for the main story you get a warning if the quest has a time-l…
