Thank you for your video !

(please don't hurt the whales ^^')

Originally, I tried to make various biomes with specific contents, but the real-time generation was too slow to be playable; I also planned to add some merchants to buy and sell stuff at different prices, and with a finite amount of money, to force the player not to stay at the same location, but there were too many bugs I had to fix before doing so.

I added a lot of mechanics, like buildings, ranged and melee attacks, ammunition, little animations, items picking up and droping... And lots of tiny bugs that I will hopefully fix before the release.

I also simplified the tiles visuals to be more readable.

I really like your 8x8 sprites and the graphic palette you choose. And your mechanics seem interesting too.

This time I'm making a pirate game : you play a pirate captain, sailing through the infinite-ish seas, looking for treasures and killing monsters...

Thank you for your video !

Tell me what you'd like to see in my game in future releases.

I will do my best to add your ideas, if they sound good to me.  ;-)
