Description

A dark and humorous 8-bit adventure about sailing in the 1700's.
Name your crew, choose your career, then purchase a ship and supplies.

Fight to survive an onslaught of storms, reefs, diseases, mutiny, starvation, warships, and the realization that sailing was a very dangerous and tedious job.

History

Originally The Caribbean Sail was a simple framework to test out some basic system functions for a much bigger project. I decided to release it on Steam for experience marketing and releasing a game.
Version 1.0 was completed in two weeks and after being taken public
saw weekly content patches and updates for 10 months.
Then work began on the first massive expansion "Route Planning" which was completed in 5 months and released for free.

During the development of Route Planning, a Shanty Off was hosted where the best submissions would be added to the game.
