Hello everyone! I have a small (medium size?) devlog to share with you, I also have some information about a small sale coming up early next month to celebrate Pride, but lets start with report on the progress itself :3
On to progress report;
ENEMIES
First pass is basically complete internally; you can fight enemies, they will definitely fight you back, and your active follower can carry guns and fight alongside with you. Anyone shot can be looted and will have a random loot pool similarily to chests (also basically on-island loot pool that will be refreshed as they'll eventually respawn, same way as the sailing salvage too).

You are also able to capture downed enemies (or "resurrect" your downed allies). Pirates and such will eventually have custom skins, and enemy officers and such can have unique items with them that you can't get otherwise :3
Speaking of unique items;
I'm currently working on an unique pistol that'll be using great rifle ammo, but has a special lined barrel that lights the dart up so they're more visible in the world :3
And the other items currently being worked on are sort of a procedurally generated pirate hats; they came in base cut tricorne and folded styles, can have any colors, each can have a side braiding, or any of the size bands around the top of the hat, and then they'll also have several feather styles to randomize from. These are currently planned to be equipped/held by pirate officers :3
SAARDAN THIRD TRIBE
Also progress on final tribe home, their tower that will also have shinier black cat subspecies with gold decorations player can play with or hire :3
FULL ACT preview; this is for a unique character that'll appear with the third Saardan tribe :3

MINOR ACT rework; some of the older animations need a lot of love, and we've been working polishing them up. Can you spot which one this is? :3

DISCOUNT YOU SAY??? I did, yeah!
We generally weren't planning on running discounts originally, back in 2018 (oh gods, time flies), because it always felt weird to me having an unfinished game discounted, but over the years I have kinda come to realize that... that its just normal to have discounts. I still don't want to frequently run discounts nor go by the regular Steam schedules, and instead I want discounts to have a meaning to us on a personal level and what better time to run a discount, when the game is made by LBGTQ people and minorities, than on the start of Pride month, so...
Hunt and Snare will be 25% off for the first week of June :3
With luv,

Earlier devblog things I wasn't able to post due to other issues;
Raw gameplay recording with Faax riding https://streamable.com/lbxm8b. Still needs some polishing and effects :3
Faax walking animation (note playback is slightly faster than it actually is!)
Faax running animation :3
For those keen on seeing. This is the animation rig I built for Faax :3

Boom booms!
Thank you for reading <3
