Seeing people enjoy the game and the happiness it brought you was the main driving factor for us to push as far as we did.
We are quite happy with what we achieved as a two man dev team, who hired some help along the way. We also had over 500+ bug fixes and quality of life changes over the course of early access. Initially you didn’t even know who was on what ship until you selected it, leading to very frustrating moments trying to group with friends or balance team.Ī new win screen to show players outfits and their achievements through stats and leaderboards.Ī lot of new cosmetics for both factions were also added!
PARTY UP SYSTEMWe added the ability for friends to stay together for the following rounds, by setting an ingame tag.Ī new team selects a screen. You also needed the range of ships by using the spyglass which we implemented as an item. You can also turn the cannons too, which you couldn’t before. After much demand from crewman for more importance, experimenting with different methods we settled on the “grenade launcher” approach to cannon aiming. We also implemented a new cannon aiming system. Unfortunately this was not received well for the players that purely liked naval combat, so eventually it was scrapped. We had combined TDM with Siege mode to bring a mode called Conquest, which attempted to give more variance per match by letting players choose if they wanted to win by naval combat, or capturing the fort. So we introduced ship building from docks.
#Blackwake player count update#
Update 3.0 was a huge undertaking, we wanted to give players the ability to choose which ship they fought with. First to 2 points wins.Ī faction would attack a fort with their ships, push a cart of explosives to a gate, then capture a flag to win. Teams would fight over a treasure chest to bring back to their base.
