- Development update: naval combat, trade routes, and polish in Storm Seas - 17 April 2026
Over the past few weeks we have kept working on several core systems in Storm Seas. Some of this work is already merged into the main development branch, and another portion remains in validation before we consider it ready for a public update. One major focus was naval combat. We advanced new projectile variants, refined cannon control, improved visuals for the ammunition UI, and added support for selecting ammunition in a more direct way. These changes are aimed at making each combat decision clearer and more responsive. We also made important progress on trade routes. We are implementing flows to pick up and deposit goods between cities, along with moving cargo from the ship into warehouses when a route is stopped at base. Alongside this, we improved navigation behavior for route ships to reduce issues near edges or corners of the NavMesh. In parallel, we continue polishing tutorials…
- Weekly Progress: New Missions, Trade Improvements, and More Stability in Storm Seas - 27 March 2026
This week we kept strengthening Storm Seas' playable foundation with meaningful progress in progression, trade, and overall stability. One major focus was Chapter 1. The mission "Know a new city" is now implemented: you can choose your next destination between Wild Coast and New Fortune. That choice now affects mission flow, visible objectives, and which NPC continues the route. We also advanced "First sales between cities", a mission built around learning to trade better between ports. Progress now tracks valid purchases, valid sales, and net profit, reinforcing the fantasy of a merchant who understands routes and gets more out of each trip. In parallel, we improved the economic system so price calculations better reflect production, consumption, scarcity, and trade balance between cities. The goal is trading that feels more coherent and less exploitable. On the experience side, the ma…
