Thanks! And yes I want to keep you guys posted on what we are doing as much as possible! 
What we have finished last few days:
- Cannons, complete with particle effects, model, mechanics
- New weapon system and action bar. New weapons can now very easily be added and players can now have weapons in their action bar and switch to them.
- Ships take damage and sink from cannon fire
- Damage indicator (screenshot below)
- Some new icons, models, sounds, particles
And as some gyazos:
As you can see in the screenshots, you will be able to craft land cannons to fire on ships at sea. Say you have found a nice island, you can choose to stay there a while to gather all it’s resources and find all it’s treasures and build a few cannons on top of a cliff to fend off other pirates that might want to come ashore.
Next up:
- New ship model and interactable / repairable parts such as hull, masts, sails, cabin and canons will also break and can be repaired.
- Cannon loading system. (grab balls from deck, place in cannon wait for it to load and extra fire mode: quick fire when pressing “f” which will fire the cannon without actually going in it for fast firing of loaded cannons in close range combat)
- New ship will also have crows nest in which you can climb
- The press “e” ladder needs to change in real ladder (it was just a placeholder to get on ship fast when in the water)
- flintlock pistol to be added and perhaps also a fuse bomb
- some water imporvements (foam, distant water visual tweaks, shore opacity …)
And our blog will go online in one of next few days, we will post a link to it as soon as it’s online. Updates will be more structured and organized and you will be able to leave comments.
And good news for those that would like to try our game in realtime, we will release a small demo build after our blog has launched and when we get a few more things working. You will be able to play it with your friends. We will add a guide on how to connect to your friend as a fully fledged server browser is not yet complete.
