Ahoy!

As Steam Next Fest approaches and the release date draws near (Caribbean Legend becomes available on February 15th), we have some exciting updates to share: ːjollyrː We've made significant improvements to the demo, addressing all major stability issues identified so far, and we've raised the level cap to 10. This means you can enjoy at least eight hours of gameplay! Please note that while the demo doesn't feature updated textures (which is a significant update), the story mode, or a substantial portion of the full release content, it still provides the ultimate pirate freeplay experience! ːjollyrː We'll be discontinuing the demo permanently on February 12th, making way for Caribbean Legend: Sandbox – a free version of the game with no level cap whatsoever. ːjollyrː To celebrate, we've organized a Steam key giveaway for the full version of the game! Participating is easy – simply download the demo, play the game, capture a screenshot, share it on Twitter using the hashtags #caribbeanlegend and #SteamNextFest, and don't forget to tag @ValkyrieInitia1. Once Steam Next Fest concludes, we'll select three lucky participants who will receive a complimentary Steam key! This is the second and the last free giveaway we are doing for Caribbean Legend. ːjollyrː 10 days until the release! Caribbean Legend sets sail on February 15th, with a $24.99 price tag after the release discount. Normally, we would offer a 10% or 15% discount for a week, but we're giving all Sea Dogs and Open World RPG fans a chance to snag the best deal possible – a 25% discount for two whole weeks! ːjollyrː We will also be adjusting prices for different regions of the world, ensuring fair pricing according to local spending power. ːjollyrː Important reminder: Exclusive Edition owners will enjoy pre-release access on February 8th.

Ahoy!

Gun crews - at the ready! Board the Steam page of Caribbean Legend and download the demo now! This is a slice of the full game, still in development, therefore it might not display the target release quality. New textures, a 200-hour storyline, and most of the new content will be available closer to February 8th for owners of the Exclusive Pre-Order. The global release is set for February 15th! Have a great sail and please share any feedback either here, on Steam, or on our official Discord server. Good hunting! ːjollyrː P.S. The next batch of Exclusive Edition Steam keys will be available for purchase from February 8th to February 17th.

Ahoy!

We're thrilled to bring you our most significant update yet! As the release approaches, let's adhere to the Navy code (if there is one) and keep this announcement brief. ːjollyrːWe will release two big titles in February. ːjollyrːCaribbean Legend: Sandbox is a free game featuring the Sandbox mode (aka Freeplay) with no limitations.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44649887/21277978ec53a7a320090d850514e19cae3e9ace.jpg I think we overdid it a bit and sold all the keys out in a day! Contrary to popular belief, Sea Dogs are officially back. Thank you, pirates, traders, privateers and Navy officers. Couple of important notes: 1. The owners of the Early Access Edition are already enjoying Caribbean Legend. 2. The owners of the Exclusive Edition will be able to play it one week earlier the official Steam release - on Feb 8th. Please be ye warned, that it won't be an automatic process and each will be granted an access manually. My fault really, I should have thought about the process more thoroughly. Now we have over 300 people in the waitlist, so you can imagine my dread. With all that in mind, please keep an eye out for updates on our official Discord server. If Discord isn't your preferred platform, you can also find updates on Patreon and Steam, 3. The next batch of Exclusive Edition keys, complete with all its perks and content, will become available on Feb 8th. Please understand that our intention isn't to appear greedy; it was simply a less-than-optimal way I personally chose to organize this. 4. Next big thing is scheduled for Jan 15th, so stay tuned. See y'all at the sea very soon!

Ahoy, Sea Dogs fans!

We're thrilled to share some exciting updates with you as we approach the game's release in just a little over a month. This year is shaping up to be an incredible one for the Sea Dogs series! Find out more on Patreon! (Link) In short: ːjollyrː We've just received another batch of pre-order Steam keys, with over 60 keys available for our Exclusive and Early Access Editions. And they are almost sold out again. ːjollyrːWe added the Freeplay mode in the game, allowing you to choose characters to play and free roam the Caribbean. ːjollyrːSteam Deck is most likely to be fully supported. ːjollyrːThe game is available to play right now. Next big thing is in a week, Jan 15th! See you soon, pirates! ːauthorityː

Ahoy!

Caribbean Legend is the unique game you've been longing for. Now, that must have gotten your attention! But first things first. We'll be summarizing the Steam page release and launching the next big thing this Sunday. After that, it's crunch time until February 15th, 2024. The theme of today's episode is to tell you why you need Caribbean Legend. When the trailer launched, it became apparent that everyone had different expectations for the game. Some thought it was merely a significant paid patch for To Each His Own, and we exceeded their expectations. Others expected an entirely new game on a different engine and were left disappointed. It's our fault; we should have explained things better and shown you more. Our to-do list before the release includes:

• Sharing the full changelog this Sunday.
• Launching a free demo in February.
• Creating another trailer.
• Allowing unlimited streaming.

All of this means that you'll have all the information you need to make your own decision about purchasing the game. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31504197/c1572d19f9cccf0c2cf6570042c4e038ae4054b5.jpg But regardless of the decision you make, this release won't go unnoticed by you because we all share the same pain: there are not many games like this on the market. A long time ago, my mom bought me Sea Dogs. "Oh, it looks cool, give it a try," she said. I wasn't entirely convinced, as Cossacks was the other option, and I was always a fan of the RTS genre. In the end, she bought me both games, but it was Sea Dogs that left a lasting mark on me. During the first 20 hours, I struggled desperately and remained on the starting ship, a Pinc, I think. But at one point, something miraculous happened: I leveled up when I accidentally won my first boarding and the game allowed me to change my ship to a Lugger. I believe it was not far from Shark Island. People with perception 10 will notice the familiar pause menu on the monitor. That dose of dopamine changed me, and since then, I've always had this Sea Dogs fever:

• I spent days downloading endless mods for PoTC and bragged to other school kids that I was a programmer.
• I frequented Seaward, PA! and other Sea Dogs websites that were popping up like mushrooms back then. I got trolled super hard there for asking dumb questions. Nevertheless, I kept coming back for more.
• On New Year's Eve, when a girl visited me from another city, I had her play CoAS all night.
• And then, I met this guy, made a career in gamedev, released or published dozens of games, and well, here we are.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31504197/4d71924057865ac92f413ea6b7b618169fdc45ac.jpg I'm sharing this because I want you to see why I've longed so much to understand why the *Sea Dogs series* left such a mark on us. I've had long conversations with fans and industry veterans, and I think I've finally figured it out. It wasn't the series that drove us crazy; it was the genre. Not the brilliant music, not the modding scene or childhood nostalgia. Not even the Caribbean setting. It was a unique genre that got us. There are almost no games in the world with so many working game systems:

• Combat at sea.
• Land combat.
• Exploration on land.
• Global map.
• RPG system.
• Dialogues.
• Companions and love interests.
• Linear and generated quests.
• A deep narrative with choices and consequences.
• Loot, collectibles, and crafting.
• Building and management.

Take any modern open-world Action/RPG, and it may excel in some aspects from that list, but it will never have everything. Even if it does, it won't work seamlessly. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31504197/0a1a785a4c7176df49545e8191303f8092ca453e.jpg And that's what pains us. These are the types of games we want to play, but all we have are the *Sea Dogs series* and global mods for other games. Mount & Blade. Kenshi, maybe? And now, Caribbean Legend is about to join the ranks. Let me reiterate - there are almost no games like that on the market. Games that we desire. Games that provide the true freedom of choice that game marketers have been promising for the past 25 years. Sure, there are mods. Not just Sea Dogs mods, but mods in general. Some of the global ones offer more content and mechanics than *Caribbean Legend* and most open-world RPGs out there. However, they can't reach a wide audience for various reasons and thus remain niche. We play them, but we can't simply go to Steam, press the purchase button, and immediately get a polished product. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31504197/fdfc23004b5821f490f9ae3a495f6e15a29cfb74.jpg The original Sea Dogs: TEHO, which forms the core of Caribbean Legend, is exactly the same. Bugs, lack of localizations, unnecessary hardcore elements, a steep difficulty curve, and a lack of promotion prevented it from reaching a wide audience. It's a great game but a poor product. We want to fix that. Bring TEHO to the peak of its potential. Keep the series' veterans happy and open the game to a new audience. For the former, we have new content and plenty of reasons to replay; for the latter, we have polishing, a proper difficulty curve, translations, tweaked visuals, and marketing. Regardless of which group you belong to, every release like this is a significant event that should not be ignored. Caribbean Legend's success or failure will be observed by the market, and it's up to you to ensure we have more games like this in the future. I have 2000 hours in TEHO and another couple of thousand in other Sea Dogs games. And still, the first thing I'll do on February 15th is start a new playthrough as a gamer, not a developer. Because there are very few games like this out there. And that pains me.

Gorgeous and dangerous Helen

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31504197/17ba1cfdab3a50a279dfeccd47caad5aaf29d4d5.png …happily ever after indeed Has this piece of dialogue ever felt satisfying for you? H: Ah, there you are, my captain! I am so glad, "+pchar.name+", that you have finally decided to visit me. I have got a lot to discuss you. PC: (Option A) We will delay this conversation a bit. I need to get some more information before I'll be able to answer your questions. And now I'm asking you to not show yourself on the streets. I hope that your waiting will not last long. Trust me and wait. Right?! The lady is clearly giving you signs and you are like: Wait.ːseawolvesː This is Helen’s peak of interactive content. No wonder she feels totally inferior to Mary. Just think of it: ːjollyrːA unique Vanguard is much more valuable than a unique Companion; ːjollyrːNo personal quest and no proper love story; ːjollyrːDoesn’t take the bedroom initiatives in her hands, so to speak. Although, for some, it is a plus. ːjollyrːZombie Jessica doesn’t approve of her. Must be personal. Caribbean Legend will change that. Helen will get her own quest and one more ending. The quest will be happening during the Pirate Saga, allowing Charles and Helen to learn more about each other and to spend some time together. The best part is that you will be able to build Helen differently, depending on the choices you make. You can make her a perfect Vanguard, strengthen her naval skills even further or make her stats more balanced. There is also another new major feature, but that would be a spoiler. Don’t want to ruin the moment for you when and if you get to it. ːbombingː PC: ( Option B) You told me you wouldn't forgive me if I didn't visit you and Gladys. Well, here I am. H: Nice that you remember that. I wanted to say that I am truly grateful. It's not every day you get saved from, you know, that kind of situation. H: Let's just go and get a drink, my treat. Getting better, right? Behind that simple dialogue option, a couple of hours of additional gameplay is hiding. Looking forward to hearing your feedback once you complete the quest in the game. …And that’s all for today, folks, see you soon at the big event tomorrow! Good hunting. ːjollyrː

Ahoy!

We have another development update for you today, and the trailer reveal is just in two days. This Saturday at 1 p.m. PST. Today’s item is…

Isla Mona, your very own colony

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31504197/34eb82ba7e87bd64778c9e9fca4bb5a9f1484816.jpg …and a sneak peek of the new UI -"By the holy Santiago, that would be swell! Problem is, our women would set it on fire. With us in it. No, Captain, I meant a church." -"True, we have decent dwelling and pay, sea and leisures, families and friends. But something is still amiss, you know?" It took a couple of months to write this quest, and another two to code it - a total of three years. I think we have done it right: several hours of solid gameplay, choices and consequences, lots of new content and events. It’s a great side activity for the mid game, don’t rush it and you will have yourself a proper colony built in two in-game years. No timers except for building ones. Once the colony is built, it will remain useful until the end of the game: ːjollyrːInfinite goods storage. ːjollyrːAbility to put a few hundreds of sailors in reserve. ːjollyrːShipkeeping, you can keep up to three smaller vessels or one warship. ːjollyrːLots of cheap ironwood; ːjollyrːSpecial events, items, companion interactions and Steam achievements. But hey, you ask me how several months transformed into 3 years of development?! Simple, we have very little 3D modeling resources to cover all building stages of the colony. I think that is about 6 exterior locations total. But we are getting there and we like the result. The amount of effort put in this quest was colossal, but it was worth it and we hope you will feel the same! That’s all for today, folks. Tomorrow we will talk about our dear Helen - a companion and a potential romantic interest. Don’t forget to check out the two links below. This is vital not only because of the trailer, but also for the future updates to come: most of them will be Discord exclusive.

It is a superb feeling to see all that hype building around the upcoming announcement trailer! As we count down the days to September 23rd at 1 p.m. PST, it’s time to kick off a series of posts from our Discord server. Over the past few weeks, we've been hard at work, sharing development updates and juicy insights, and we wouldn't want you to miss out on any of it.

El Cazador

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31504197/0ca36e9e6282c8d42d354842c813c4294cc68330.png The Cazador (The Hunter) is a ship with an intriguing history and has been my personal favorite since the days of developing the Flying the Jolly Roger DLC. I've always had a strong desire for a unique, proper mid-game galleon, bridging the gap between early-game quest ships and the Gryffondor. My aim was to terrorize everyone during the Saga quest and to beat the Caleuche with style. However, we ended up with the Toreador, which I strongly dislike for several reasons:

• You acquire her rather late in the mid-game;
• She's the reward for a quest with the tightest timers in the game;
• You have to abandon her during the infamous siege of Cartagena;
• I probably just suck at playing this game.

The Cazador, on the other hand, is a different story. If you're a skilled seaman, she can survive in line combat and her 32-pound cannons can make life miserable for even a second-rate warship. My current thinking is to reduce her speed and allow her to carry more men. Voilà! A compelling alternative to the Toreador until the Gryffondor arrives, dozens of hours later in the game. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31504197/66f8c6c6d322d66ed246b4ddf604976fc8a6cafd.png She's no easy prize. Remember the crazy battle of Isla de Coche? With the updated Cazador as the flagship of the Spanish flotilla, the fight will be even tougher. Even if you emerge victorious, I must caution you that she is the property of Casa de Contratación. The higher-ups may take offense, but there is a silver lining as they'll be displeased with Charlie Prince, not Charles de Maure. That wraps it up for today! Tomorrow, we will talk a bit more about the progress we are making at the colony development department. Good hunting. ːjollyrː

Follow this Very Important YouTube link to make sure that you won't miss the big event: https://youtu.be/DX7L13FN18M The journey has been quite challenging. Three years of development, and about a year ago, we hit a storm and lost our way at sea. But fear not, we're back on course and sailing full ahead to give the Sea Dogs series another push forward. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32223356/827e927ab0c439eb31cba2719e2b51431a73d1dd.jpg After putting the most recent build to the test, I can genuinely say it's been worth every moment. You're in for a treat ːbootyː. We're not just talking about significant upgrades like enhanced visuals, numerous quality-of-life features, new ships, and quests. We've poured hundreds of little details into SD: To Each His Own to make it an even greater game. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32223356/ca83eb42e6214106397ed748c1c0f1095af2857e.jpg For those who've been keeping tabs on our Discord, you've likely noticed the increased daily activity from the development team. Now, we're ready to keep you informed right here on Steam. ːjollyrː The big news is that the game will have a new Steam page and a fresh title, as we're saying goodbye to the SD: LE page. Nothing worrisome has occurred; it's mostly due to mundane business reasons. The new page is set to arrive very soon, and it will be crafted with care. You are going to love it! We're also returning to our regular news updates, so expect daily doses of information from this point forward. And, as always, don't forget to join our Discord server. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41048488/8dabde96aced44320b76f4860f9cd527bf850711.jpg Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Fellow swashbucklers!

The time has come - Buccaneers! is available now!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35764527/99ce92f269d06929d31bcacc4c6c76a20571370e.gif After four years of development by a team of three, we’re so excited to finally let you play the full game. It’s been a long and difficult journey, but we’re proud of what we’ve managed to create, and we hope you enjoy it! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1148560 The prologue quest from the free demo is also included in the full game, but if you’ve already completed it, you can skip it when you start a new game. If not, we highly recommend keeping it enabled - the end of the prologue is an important moment that sets up the story for the rest of the game! In the main quest, you get to choose which faction to join after a brief intro sequence, and the game opens up after that. You can follow the events of the story or explore the open world and do as you please - the choice is yours! As always, we really appreciate your feedback! If you have any comments, questions or bugs to report, feel free to join our Discord and let us know. We will be on the lookout for bug reports and will focus on fixing any serious bugs over the next few days, so please bear with us if you experience any issues. Happy pirating! 🏴‍☠️

Ahoy!

ːseawolvesː The next Dev Diary will be published next week - we have made a lot of progress since the last one. For example, we created the new design for a British warship. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41048488/d5ae4797bdd531813e86d3702526e77b74dd8bf2.jpg In addition, we are nearing completion of an alternative version of the Caleuche, the infamous ghost ship. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41048488/610657978c483a9aa94aec0eacfadec6a8126bf9.png This week, we ask you to support an indie game which doesn't have the power and weight of a large fanbase like Sea Dogs. However, one day this will change - we are sure of it! We encourage you to wishlist and follow Mondealy.

Ahoy!

ːseawolvesː Among the news today are a new piece of soundtrack, news of a release date, and screenshots of updated warships and new locations. Item 1 New music track - for a more pleasant reading. We’ve made new tavern themes, all are based on real-life shanties! https://youtu.be/fnomZ5lX0cs Item 2 Our release date was moved up to Q1 2022 due to the volume of feedback we were receiving over the past months - our task list almost doubled. While we won't be able to include all of it in the release, we will continue to release free updates. Thanks to the major upgrade of the game engine, you won't have to start a new game each time we air something big. Item 3 The extra time spent waiting for the release will be compensated by a free update that lets you play some of the content from the upcoming Legendary Edition. It’s almost done and we expect to launch it in late January. Item 4 Remember the warships from the original game? Their textures were bad, and their models were clunky. Our team is currently reforging all warships in Legendary Edition so that they project respect, fear, and power. We have already finished the Dutch and French warships. The Spaniard is currently in progress - you can see it all below! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41048488/969848a7b55725e0852270e6d72a161ca1b6284f.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41048488/346f1868749546ef2b1b7fe0acd7af7688fa0a53.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41048488/234eda7cf07dad1360e4ed142ed13ee7cadbdc07.jpg Item 5 The Legendary Edition will feature a whole new ship. Perhaps a pirate/raider galleon that shines in the midgame. We feel that there is a gap between quest post ships and warships in the game. Item 6 There will be a change on a certain island in Legendary Edition. If you ever wished for a proper pirate base, you will surely get one! See some work in progress screenshots below! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41048488/84fe623cd0d2bd32129b4f09dd25902baa977336.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41048488/9e9b3f15709530c8b4c7278c1af3c920c8bf9a58.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41048488/47825b5beb18896051964a362e1e6ba009747c38.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41048488/7fd967b9444f6ea4aa7d8ad5d713c1c5f82dae82.jpg Item 7 When will we update screenshots and a trailer on the Steam Page? Although we have already taken care of all the necessary music and voice overs, we want to take pictures and video footage from a build with maxed out visuals, new locations, new weather, fog, sky, etc. We don't have such a build ready yet, but we are not far from it now - the Steam Page will be updated early next year.

Ahoy!

Today’s menu: total rebalance of crafting, wards and amulets, news about 1.7.3, new music track from LE and another call to wishlist and follow Legendary Edition on Steam! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1456830/Sea_Dogs/ Item 1 Music track - Global Map theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0Cg-3bIyw4 Item 2 Crafting, alchemy and amulets. In short - crafting will be much more relevant and comfortable in LE. You will be able to start crafting useful potions and amulets as soon as you take Alchemy perk. As for wards and amulets - they have been rebalanced, now each of them makes sense, each of them is useful and serves whatever build/playstyle you prefer. Since you can craft most of amulets yourself, this adds an extra layer to role playing, exploration and character development.

• You can purchase a recipe of mixture or get one for free from Gino;
• Mixture doesn’t harm your Life and adds 160 HP. Can’t buy it from merchants, only craft it or find it as a very rare loot;
• Elixir is not available for purchase anymore, you either craft it or loot it;
• Elixir’s recipe was changed and doesn’t require an alchemist’s chest anymore, the recipe itself is more available for purchase;
• Merchants don’t sell as much antidote as they used to;
• Each potion recipe now yields 3 potions instead of one;
• Total amount of lootable elixirs at CoAS is much, much lower now;
• Amelia asks extra 200 doubloons for an each Manga Rosa recipe;
• Graveyard keepers and herbalists sell more herbs now;
• Advanced crafting tools can be obtained in the early-mid game in random loot;
• Alchemy interface is improved and crafting now uses all available components you keep in your cabin chests - but only if you are inside the cabin;
• Added two new wards;
• All amulets and wards have been rebalanced and now they have a bigger impact on gameplay;
• Amulets that didn't work - they do now as originally intended. Certain wards got extra bonuses, now each of them is an extremely valuable prize.

Item 3 1.7.3 The biggest patch ever (TM) is about to leave the beta! (Sea Dogs: To Each His Own) If you want to start playing on 1.7.3 right away - your password to dev branch is smoketestpatch. In case you have a x64 system and you do not want to start a new game - please find the README in the root folder of the game. Follow the instructions and voila! If you have a x32 system - don't worry, you won't need to start a new game, although DirectX 9 and some of the newest engine features won't be available on x32.

Sorry for caps, but that can make a world of difference to us and to the game on Steam. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1456830/Sea_Dogs/ Now, the long story.ːauthorityː For the past two years, we’ve been busy with not only expanding our team, remastering the engine and working on the Legendary Edition, we were also looking for a way to develop a completely new Sea Dogs title. With modern gameplay and graphics, animations and cut scenes, on Unreal Engine 5. Our ambition is to take the unique multi-genre Sea Dogs experience and carefully rebuild it on the modern game development basis of the 2020s. We believe we’ve found a way to secure all the funding and resources we need, and Legendary Edition is the first step to do so. If we do the release and the marketing right this time, we will remind the gaming community, 3rd parties and potential investors about the Sea Dogs phenomena and its unique gameplay. We want to show the world that Sea Dogs can become another successful AAA title. If you want that too - please wishlist and follow Legendary Edition. Sea Dogs: Legendary Edition is, in many ways, a completely new title, which amassed all that we learned for the past ten years of development. We gathered community feedback from thousands of reviews and millions of hours of gameplay. As developers, we are very proud of it. As players, we are enjoying playing it over and over again. You probably have a lot of questions, please ask them in the comments. We will make another post in a couple of days and answer all of them there. This FAQ might shed some light too: Q: Release ETA? A: End of 2021. Q: Price? A: Discussing it right now, but it will come significantly cheaper for owners of the original Sea Dogs. Q: What will the Legendary Edition include in terms of content? A: The list is above, we will be sharing more details regularly until the very release. Q: Where is the trailer? Why are there only old screenshots on the Steam page? А: The announcement was supposed to be revealed later in September with all the stuff - new Steam capsule, a trailer, brand new screenshots. Due to technical reasons we had to do it earlier. The Steam page will be updated next month. Q: Will there be any other bonuses for the owners of the original Sea Dogs. A: Absolutely, we are working on it right now. Q: When will the big patch for Sea Dogs: TEHO leave the beta? A: In a couple of weeks. Q: Will the Legendary Edition require a start of the new game? A: Yes. Q: What about stability issues, crashes? А: We’ve completely rework the engine, crashes and stability are now longer an issue. Q: What about issues with translation? А: We addressed that as well - the overall quality should be improved. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1456830/Sea_Dogs/ Go ahead, ask any question in the comments, whishlist and follow, stay tuned and stay healthy!
