- Update 0.39 Patch Notes - 25 September 2026
New Features- a new large ship is available for purchase in Oasis- you can now purchase houses on several islands around the world. Houses allow you to permanently store items and furniture just like your boat. You can also sleep in a bed in your house even when you're not tired.- three new sails are now available in Gold Rock City shipyardOther Changes- minor economy adjustments, with the main goal to slightly slow down the exponential growth of profit in the end game, when trading high volume of cargo. Profit margins for most trade goods have been increased, but drop off more quickly when buying or selling large quantities of the same good. Margins on some goods have been adjusted, and some goods can now only be bought at specific ports.- the trading UI now displays profit percentage- all Al'Ankh sails are now fully textured (textures for other sails coming in a later patch)Bug Fixes-…
- Update 0.38.1 Patch Notes - 21 July 2026

- Update 0.38 Patch Notes - 23 June 2026
Improved anchors- anchors can now be picked up and dropped manually, allowing you to use them for maneuvering (kedging)- anchors will now hold more effectively as they become more parallel with the seabed- improved the reliability of anchor physics to prevent anchors releasing randomly and other unexpected behavior- the anchor state is now saved between sessionsOther changes- performance optimizations: in some cases, you might see 30%-40% increase in FPS, depending on your system- oars now apply more force at low speeds, but lose their effectiveness as boat speed increases. This should make them usable for low speed maneuvers even on the big ships- reduced the food and water cost of using oars- reduced the friction between boats and terrain to make grounded boats easier to get unstuck- fixed a bug where the game wouldn't load if you only had one active save slot
- Update 0.37.1 Patch Notes - 5 June 2026
- purchasing oars in shops should now work properly - you can no longer push your boat while jumping
- Update 0.37 Patch Notes - 5 June 2026
New Features & Gameplay Changes- you can now quickly access your inventory slots by pressing the number keys on your keyboard (from 1 to 5). Press the slot hotkey while holding an item to insert it into the corresponding slot, press again with empty hands to retrieve the item from the slot.- added oars, which can be used to row your boat at the cost of some food and water. Oars are included when starting a new game in Al'Ankh and Emerald Archipelago, and they can also be purchased on some islands.- you can no longer push your boat while swimming- increased light saturation at night- added a "reset to default" option for keybindings- added an "open save folder" button in the save slot menuBug Fixes- falling through docks when disembarking in Emerald Archipelago with low framerate should now be much less likely- fixed a bug causing items to spill out of crates sometimes when loading a sav…
- Update 0.36 Patch Notes - 4 May 2026
New Features- Crow's Nests: now available in shipyards for the three medium-sized ships, along with ratlines for climbing. Crow's nests will allow you to see farther beyond the horizon, making it easier to spot distant lands. The horizon mechanics have also been improved to more closely match the curvature of the game's planet. This means you will be able to see slightly farther than before, even at ground level- Resizing sails in shipyards: you can now freely change the size of all sails in the shipyard, giving you more freedom to design your perfect rig. For square sails, you can also adjust their width and height separately to some extent. Duplicate sails of different sizes have been removed from the shipyard options.Other Changes- added several new customization options for the medium ships: wooden roof for the sanbuq, deep keel for the junk, and forecastle for the brig- oakum is no…
- Update 0.35 Patch Notes - 20 February 2026
New Features- Improved cargo placing: when placing big items such as crates and furniture, they will now move slightly to avoid collisions with other items or walls, making them easier and less frustrating to place. This feature can be turned off in the settings.- Fixing furniture in place: shops in capital cities now sell hammers, which can be used to lock big items like furniture or cargo in place, preventing them from being picked up accidentally. Hanging items like paintings, maps or lamp hooks can also be nailed down. - Charting kit protractor: the map charting kit now includes two protractors of different sizes, which can be used to measure the compass angle of your lines.Gameplay Changes- changed the length of the mile shown in the mission information to match the miles measured by the chip log and the charting kit ruler; this means all distances between islands will now show a d…
- Development status update - 30 December 2025
Hi everyone, just a quick update on current development status. First, you might have noticed my absence lately - I took a break for the holidays, but don't worry, development continues as normal from now on. As you can see from the roadmap, we're getting pretty close to hitting the full release milestone. As such, for the next several updates I would like to focus mainly on general polish, bug fixing and optimizations, to make the game ready and worthy of the full release status. This means there likely won't be any exciting new content in the near future, but some welcome quality of life changes should be coming, including some long-requested ones like locking furniture in place or better cargo placing system. I'm also aware that there's been many reports of performance issues and major bugs. I can't promise I'll be able to fix them all, but I'll be doing as much as I can to focus on…
- Update 0.34 Patch Notes - 26 November 2025
New Features- map chartingYou can now plot charts on your maps using the newly added charting kit. Place a map on a table and use the charting kit on it to access the chart plotting system. You can draw lines and measure distances with a ruler, but be careful - lines cannot be erased!Charting kits can be purchased in capital cities.- oakumOakum can now be used for temporary hull repairs. You can purchase barrels of oakum on most islands, and use them to patch holes in your ship for quick temporary repairs. Patching holes with oakum will stop leaks for a while, but doesn't actually repair the damage, so you'll still need to visit a shipyard eventually.The amount of oakum required to patch holes increases with the amount of damage and the size of the ship. When fully patched, it will stop all leaks completely, but will also deteriorate quickly. The rate of deterioration increases with the…

- Update 0.33 Patch Notes - 14 September 2025
- New IslandsAdded new islands in and around the Al'Ankh region. Along with the new islands you'll also find some new items and trade goods.- Boat damageYour ship's hull will now slowly deteriorate over time. Strong impacts will cause additional, significant damage. Damaged hulls will slowly leak water, which needs to be bailed (using the newly added buckets) to prevent sinking. Large ships can also be outfitted with bilge pumps in a shipyard, which speeds up the bailing process.Rain will now also slowly fill up your ship with water. The water still drains by itself as before, but much slower, making manual bailing necessary in many cases.Hull damage can be repaired in a shipyard. - Tea and coffeeAdded kettles, which can be used to brew tea or coffee. Fill up with water, add tea or coffee, boil it on a stove, then pour into a mug.Tea, coffee and kettles are available for purchase in cap…

New Features- three new islands added in the Emerald Archipelago region, along with new trade goods and new items available for purchase on the new islandsNote: when loading your saves from the previous version, the economy can take some time to adapt to the new islands and goods.

Other Changes- you can now climb steeper slopes without having to jump- fixed a camera stuttering issue when jumping and falling
- Update 0.31 Patch Notes - 12 May 2025
New Features - added graphics settings, allowing you to set screen resolution, framerate, windowed mode, etc - added a new streetlight quality setting; on "low", you should see significantly improved performance in towns; on "high", streetlights will now cast realistic shadows; "medium" keeps the streetlights as they were before the update - added sounds for interactions with winches, steering wheels, and picking up/dropping items - improved the way furled sails look - adjusted the visuals of square sails to make them billow more when catching wind - adjusted the Aestrin economy to make Fey Valley and Firefly Grotto trades a bit less profitable - unsealed crates will now properly show that they can be opened with right click or R - unsealed crates can no longer be transported using the cargo transport service - various minor UI improvements Bug Fixes - Sunspire and Fey Valley cargo tran…

- Update 0.30 Patch Notes - 21 March 2025
New Features - three new islands added in the Aestrin region, along with new trade goods and new items available for purchase on the new islands - added cooking pots, which can be used to cook soups. Soups should function as a more convenient way to consume small food items such as sliced fruits and vegetables, but you can put any food into your soup. The soup cooking system should feel quite intuitive - simply add water and any food items, and cook on the stove until it turns a rich brown color, then drink it straight from the pot to gain both calories and water. Soups also retain all nutrients present in the food you put into it, and provide some additional nutrition when cooked. But be careful - soups will spoil quite fast! Gameplay Changes - added more fruits for sale in shops in all regions - cargo transport service is now available in Sunspire - picking up a stove with items on it…
