The team sends its warmest regards and can’t wait to show you more of what we’ve been working on!Starting off with a colorful new armor set for one of our NPCs. It should be pretty obvious who this is, right? Some love for the Halberds and Greatswords — existing weapons deserve it, too! Some faction clothing sets — to better reflect their character. Can you guess which set belongs to which faction?And to top it all off, here’s a look at a Brethren of the Coast Galleon variant, along with a little preview of our ship damage FX!The Galleon and other ships are still very much a work in progress, so the final lineup may change as development&amp;hellip;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Patch Notes, version: 0.10.0.9</title><link>https://playfox.org/topics/3041230/news/news-20260825-3/</link><pubDate>Tue, 25 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://playfox.org/topics/3041230/news/news-20260825-3/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Patch Notes, version: 0.10.0.9Cannonballs now correctly deal damage when hitting a ship’s stern.Cannonballs now correctly deal damage when hitting a ship’s sails or hull.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://steamstore-a.akamaihd.net/news/externalpost/steam_community_announcements/1841579228677508"&gt;View original →&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Patch Notes, version: 0.10.0.8</title><link>https://playfox.org/topics/3041230/news/news-20260708-4/</link><pubDate>Wed, 08 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://playfox.org/topics/3041230/news/news-20260708-4/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Ahoy, captains!Here’s a small patch with a few improvements.

The pirate survival game exploded onto the scene in April in fittingly dramatic fashion - racking up more than two million sales and even briefly outstripping the pace of the mighty Rust on Steam.

We tend to experiment a lot. If something does not work well for the game, we discard it. Prototyping a great idea can drastically change how it feels once we actually playtest it. Simply put, if something isn’t great, we tend to pivot it into something a lot better. That’s the nature of development, and it applies to the plans described below. In the end, these are general thoughts we’ll continue expanding on as development progresses.Ahoy, captains! It’s been a while since the Early Access release, thank you for making it incredible!Now that most of the post-release tasks have been addressed, we’re hard at work on Windrose’s first major content update, currently titled “Ashlands.” While development is still in its early stages, we wanted to share our general plans and give you an idea of what we’re aiming for.
