Caribbean Legend - Joruba
Ahoy!
With only a few months remaining until the release, it's the perfect time to resurrect our Dev Diary series. After a much-needed one-week vacation following our previous crowdfunding campaign, we're back in full swing, ready to tackle the challenges ahead.
- We've sent the build to Valve for their final approval.
- I did a complete playthrough of Cyberpunk 2027.
- We've conducted interviews with several talented 2D artists to update our key art and in-game portraits.
- Questwriting is underway. That’s a lot of text and documentation.
- Adding new nextgen visual features to the engine.
- Adding more items like weapons and loot.
- New music tracks incoming!
- Looks like we have one more 3D modeler now. Good opportunity to make new land levels.
While we can't reveal everything we've accomplished over the past couple of weeks, we're excited to share a few enticing sneak peeks.
Music
Our composer has been diligently working on completing the OST. Only six tracks remain to be composed, which will encompass national themes and music for Justice Island, also known as the City of Abandoned Ships.
Here's a work-in-progress French theme, offering a glimpse of what we're aiming for:

New music track (WIP): French Americas
Originally, we had planned to remix the legendary themes from the first Sea Dogs game, invoking a sense of warm nostalgia. However, we are now considering the possibility of creating entirely new compositions.
We have another track to share with you today, one of the new tavern themes. There's no better place for gambling, drinking, seduction, and shady activities than a tavern!

New music track: Party Like 1660
Levels
As mentioned previously, we faced challenges in our 3D department. However, the situation has improved, and we're excited to announce the addition of more land locations to the game. We've already added two new ones in the past two weeks. The video below showcases one of these locations, which will serve as an office for a smuggler specializing in heavy ship armaments.

Wait a sec, how did he get those inside?
But that's not all. We really want to expand our jungle locations. The original set felt limited and somewhat repetitive, so we're considering not only adding more locations but also making them distinct and introducing additional gameplay mechanics.
New weapons
This serves as a testament to how crowdfunding enhances game development. Initially, we only had a couple of new items planned for release, but now we've expanded our arsenal to include over ten unique weapons. Our goal is to make each new weapon stand out, providing players with fresh and exciting experiences. Some of these new weapons are downright unconventional but undeniably enjoyable.
Consider the customizable barrel musket: if muskets aren't your preference, simply remove the long barrel and stock to transform it into a stylish pistol.
True high-tech.
The Sclopetta grenade launcher is effective but requires both hands to operate. If you prefer wearing heavy armor and swinging a big axe or broadsword, this compact weapon might come in handy.
You are gonna need a lot of crafting materials for that special ammo.

And please, don’t forget to equip a powder tester!
Lastly, behold the sexiest pirate cutlass in the Caribbean.
That wraps up today's update. The next diary is scheduled in two weeks. Don't forget to add our game to your Steam wishlist and follow us for the latest updates. Join our Discord community; tonight, we're hosting a stream and a podcast!
