Hello shipmates - it's been a while, no?

The Ship: Murder Party released in July 2006, technically tomorrow. While the folks at Blazing Griffin cannot contractually edit or update the original game (due to Source Engine licensing issues), we still love to grow the community and keep things sailing. It's always a genuine joy to return to this game with its original fans.

As we announced here last year, we launched a Blazing Griffin Discord server where people can play all our games, including The Ship, and the response was immense. Since then we've had loads of games and parties put together, and ran multiple community nights to enjoy the original game alongside Remasted and Murderous Pursuits. You should totally join it here: https://discord.gg/blazinggriffin

It got a little frustrating relying on other servers or temporary ones of our own for the original, so we've just launched a new 24/7 server operated and updated by us. We took it for a spin on Discord last week, and it's working great. Sometimes I'll turn off all ship security using console commands and watch chaos unfold, but only sometimes.

The IP address is 81.28.6.20:27015 and can be added to your favorites by going to Join A Cruise > Favourites > Add Server which keeps it there forever. The server browser is still bugged unfortunately, but there is a fixed workaround available on our Discord - thanks to ReazuDrolfsky for finding it for us! More public servers pop up and are shared on the Discord also.


To celebrate this milestone, we're running a community event tonight(!) at 9PM UK time (BST). You can hang with us on voice chat, join and chat in text, or just lurk with a purse bomb in-game to ruin our day. Join the Discord and get a reminder here: https://discord.gg/BqV6BcRW?event=998615228570931282

In the meantime, I'd make sure you're following our Twitter for updates, giveaways, and more. You could follow our TikTok too, where I've been posting Ship content and prototypes for new multiplayer games.

I hope to see fresh faces on our server, and aboard Mr. X's cruise.

¡Hola Amigos y Enemigos!

¡Feliz cinco de mayo!

We’re big fans of a party! It’s time to celebrate Cinco de Mayo.
To get the fiesta started, we are giving all owners of The Ship and The Ship Remasted 15% off our latest game, Murderous Pursuits. Muchas Gracias for your support all these years.

Murderous Pursuits is our NEW game – here are a few ways its different from its predecessor:

Uno: A stealthier game! Random killing will get you absolutely nowhere. Use your cunning skills, watch, learn, and use your abilities to the best of…well, your ability.

Dos: Multiple hunters and a continuous kill loop A quarry tracker will help you evade your hunters and locate your quarries.

Tres: 3rd Person (vs.1st person in The Ship) Changing the gameplay significantly by allowing you to scan the room looking for your quarry without moving and being caught by your hunter.

Cuatro: No need for “Needs”! Love it or hate it, Murderous Pursuits doesn’t have the need for “Needs”. It’s less SIM-like and you won’t need to run for a bathroom break mid-kill.

Cinco: No need for Doors, have a pie instead. Why? Because why not. Blend in with NPCs and have a pie while you wait for the kill.

No time for a hangover: Get your Cinco de Mayo gift of 15% off before it expires in 10 days. Find it in your Steam inventories.
…And Feliz cinco de mayo!

We would like to thank all of The Ship supporters over the years by inviting you to our Closed Beta of Murderous Pursuits , Blazing Griffin's newest game. Check out the trailer here !

Those of you who loved The Ship, will love Murderous Pursuits. It's a kill-or-be-killed Victorian stealth-em-up for 1-8 players in which you must hunt and kill your quarry before your hunters do the same to you, all while avoiding witnesses.

Sound familiar? We like to think of it as a spiritual successor to The Ship with added abilities and much more stealthy gameplay!

Key Features include:

• Hunt in four sumptuous locations aboard the HMCS Britannic - a state-of-the-art, colonial time ship. Blend in with the festivities in the richly decorated Music Hall or wait in the dark corners of the Engine House to pounce on your prey
  
• Choose from eight playable characters. Pick your preferred archetype and skin, then blend in with the crowd to avoid detection
  
• Master the use of five abilities – only two of which can be chosen each match, so choose wisely
  
• Play solo or online multiplayer with up to 8 players, featuring support for custom game options and wickedly intelligent bots
  
  
• 29th of March 12pm EST - 1st of April 12pm EST
  
• 6th of April 12pm EST - 9th of April 12pm EST
  
  For a chance to play in both closed betas, sign up here
  
  During the betas feel free to jump in to Discord to chat with us or give us feedback on our Steam Community Page
  
  And if you've liked the game, please remember to wishlist us on Steam!
