• Weekly Update #4 - 3 January 2026

  As mentioned in last week's update a lot of work has been taking place enhancing the ship graphics in Pirate Sagas. The new build has landed with these improvements which include:damaged sails, with a detrimental effect on how far you can sail per turnflags at last, which was complicated before because the initial launch had a directly overhead view better burning animationsSeveral bugs have also been addressed:battle ending not being detected if neutral ships were presenta few minor issues with the new special attacks implemented over the last couple weeksincreased gold for plunder and treasure And that's a wrap on month #1! The work now is going to shift focus onto the "open world" play style, the goal here is to provide a play mode where you can travel anywhere you wish, carry goods between ports to sell, and accumulate ships through battle, maybe even romance a Governor's daughter..…

• Weekly Update #3 - 30 December 2025

  Ahoy!Week 3's update is about to land in the live build v1.0.34! There are two main features worked on in this build, first up is a new crew hiring screen has been implemented that showcases what weapons a potential crew member has, and their stats, and any passive abilities they have:Work has continued to implement the special attacks for the remaining crew members and been tentatively completed. With this update all crew members now have their unique special attacks!Next week's update is going to be a big one as well - an improved perspective on ships in combat, with multiple levels of damaged sails, and supporting a wide array of mast/sail configurations that will allow different ship types to be more accurately represented. This has been on my wishlist for a long time!NavigatorA dagger attack (he's not much of a fighter).LookoutA high-damage musket attack.QuartermasterA vicious axe…

• Weekly update #2 - 21 December 2025

  Ahoy maties,Game demo is now available from the Steam page!Last week I mentioned that the focus this week would be on expanding the special attacks. Special attacks are used in the turn-based crew-vs-crew combat and are the most powerful or versatile attack a crew or captain can have, but with a cooldown that prevents using them all the time.When the game launched only the captain's special attack was live. On the technical side there was a bit of work to be done to set up for crew having unique attacks and attacks to have unique effects like stunning, this will feed into future aspirations to implement an inventory system. Over the next week I'll be polishing and balancing these attacks and taking care of the remaining details for them: effects like bleeding and critical strikes, the crew roles still awaiting their special attacks (Navigator, Lookout, Quartermaster and First Mate), and…

• Weekly update #1 - 14 December 2025

  Ahoy,The first week of Pirate Sagas being live is coming to a close, it's time to start the tradition of a weekly recap of the of the work that's been done and the work being done next:The work this week has focused on some bug fixes and polish:fixed an issue cycling to previous unit with \Improved battle map panning, when you cycle between units or click the minimap it now transitions towards the location rather than abruptly jumpingadded keyboard shortcut notes for hiding objectives and combats, and transition to/from hidden state rather than simply being visible or not, there is no controller option for these yet they are only accessible from keyboard with O and C battle now indicates when a unit is being followed with a small "(F)" after the ship's name, and unsets following mode when you pan the map or click the minimap rather than locking the panning to that unitcombats now positi…

• Prelaunch update #4: Battles and Combat - 29 November 2025

  No pirate game could be complete without fierce battles between ships and rivals. Those battles occur in two distinct forms - attacking or sinking enemy ships with your cannons, and boarding them to fight their crew and if victorious, looting and pillaging what they carry.Attacking your enemies with cannons is quite simple, just sail broadside them and if they are in range and your cannons are ready to fire they will do so. If you hit a ship it will be damaged and its crew may be hurt or killed too, this allows you to weaken an enemy before boarding them but if you hit them too many times their ship will burn and sink and you will get nothing at all.Boarding your enemies is done by sailing into them which triggers crew-vs-crew turn based combat. As this fighting plays out the other ships in the battle are still sailing around and may attack with their cannons - which can be extremely ef…

• Prelaunch update #3: Missions in the game - 24 November 2025

  The campaigns available at launch cover three pirates, George Somers, James Riskinner and Joseph Bannister, each historical English privateers of some renown. Each of these campaigns has 10 - 12 chapter stories, and 50 - 60 missions. Each chapter's story becomes available after progressing through 4 or 5 missions, with the option to complete up to 10 to maximize your crew and ship upgrades, gold and fame. Each campaign has a pool of similar missions plus unique missions to draw from.Note: some time after launching I would like to make tools to create and edit these missions and import/export them from the game so they can be shared.Missions can contain enemy, allied and neutral ships, islands, islands you may be able to mount defenses on, a port that may be allied or enemy and may have defenses attacking you or your enemies, and ships that join the battle later.Each mission has a diffic…

• Prelaunch update #2 - 18 November 2025

  The game is now entering it's final testing, after which it will be released tentatively aiming for the end of November!A whole new set of trailer and screenshots have been uploaded to the Steam page to showcase what's been worked on these last six months!In addition to overhauling some of the artwork a lot of functionality has been added including raiding and defending ports, hosting cannons on islands, and capturing ships to fulfill campaign objectives. The dual battles between ships alongside combat between crews has been completed, allowing deadly cannon barrages even while the crews square off, and there are now more than 100 distinct missions between the three campaigns!If everything goes to plan the next two weeks will be spent intensively testing the campaigns and resolution scaling to eradicate any blocking issues, and then the game will launch at last!

• Prelaunch update #1 - 19 April 2025

  We are in sight of launch at last! The remaining work before this ship can set sail is: Polishing James Riskinner and Joseph Bannister campaigns: these require about a week of extra work each to entwine historical accuracies and fictional-but-viable mission details. Tuning real-time battles enemy behaviors and missions: architecturally complete, and implemented in a way where battle AI can be loaded in externally (similar to OpenTTD). Enhancing turn-based combat aesthetics: just doesn't POP, yet. Continuing to bolster the audio and musical score. Finish Steam publish process: just missing promotional trailer and builds. The build pipeline is mostly ready. More updates will be posted as we start getting through these remaining items, as well as posts on the longer-term roadmap and vision for this game! Here's a sneak-peak of how the campaigns and QA is progressing: QA Automated-playthrou…
