After years of being restrained to only the darkest corners of taverns, those tarot cards are coming to the real world along with a full deck of playing cards styled in the black and white pixels of The Caribbean Sail! You could read fortunes... or you could play a game of gin rummy, poker, bull***t, scopa, or The Hunt for Davy Jones! -and by Neptune, why stop there? Invent your own card games with the custom suits! Coins {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30575242/9e676441f062dcfb4b0d113c7f3e571c00f32c53.png Swords {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30575242/aa5561e52d3677b52

SARGASSO SPOTTED! A new ocean event in Fantasy and Purist mode has reared its algae bedraggled head to look in your direction like an obnoxious in-law at your Christmas dinner. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30575242/120508ae48776ea9dc75cf224b0178a0046da998.png A gentle slimy hug from the ocean When sailing the waters of the Atlantic, there is now a small chance to cross a Sargasso belt. These floaty green pools of seaweed, algae, and sargassum will slow your ship by 30% while offering a new fishing opportunity; EELS! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30575242/b981d1cf3e8b456b4d6dca5314e65d7ea96191bc.gif Ever ate an eel

Due to recent Windows 11 incompatibilities, I ran The Caribbean Sail through GameMaker 2 and exported it. This was a painfully difficult process that involved resolving over 48,000 errors. Changes + Version number is now 1.8 + Exported with GM2 If you were experiencing crashes on Windows 11 before and this resolved them, please let me know. If you are experiencing any crashes now that you weren't before, please let me know also. I will not sell

Five years ago on September 19th, The Caribbean Sail was released. Since that day, The Caribbean Sail has seen numerous updates, two major expansion packs released for free, a shanty off contest, a soundtrack release, a successful Kickstarter campaign which enabled the release of 100 physical copies, and over 14,000 sales globally. Only one physical copy remains, package #69, and it's on the auction block: https://www.ebay.com/itm/354301415126 The production papers are also exclusively available here on Itch.io if you'd like to see behind the curtain a little and support my work further!
