Description
A whimsically dark 8-bit adventure about sailing the world in the 1700's with an optional fantasy mode!
History
Originally The Caribbean Sail was made to test out some features for a much larger project.
Version 0.1 was completed in two weeks and after months of development during Steam Greenlight it was released on Steam it saw weekly content patches and updates for 10 months.
After that, work began on the first massive expansion "Route Planning" which was completed in five months and released for free.
During the development of Route Planning, a Shanty Off was hosted where the best submissions were added to the game!
After a few more content updates, work began on the second major expansion “Fantasy Toggle” which was completed and added for free after a year and five months of work.
In September 2021 The Caribbean Sail - Physical Release was funded using Kickstarter.
The final content update was pushed and development finally ended on January 23rd, 2022.
*Steamboat Willie was added as a playable character on January 1st 2024
