It’s just over two weeks until launch! Today’s update covers some functions which you’ve been asking us for:

TUTORIAL

Even seasoned zailors will find helpful tips in the new tutorial system!

It’s really important that this is as useful as possible; please consider sending feedback to sunlesssea@failbettergames.com if you spot something confusing.

KEYBINDING

Not everyone wants to zail WSADly. Re-bind the game controls to keys of your choice from Options in the menu.

IMPROVED CHART

The fog of war is less foggy; you should find that the labels are easier to read.

SMALL UPDATES AND FIXES

The gazetter page you are currently on will now have its tab highlighted

Same goes for your current shop

The Tyrant-Moth, Lorn Fluke and Bound Shark have some new animations

‘Goods’ have now been renamed ‘Cargo’ on the hold tab

Being moved to a different port will now update the Fog of Uknown on the map correctly

The Pirate Steam-Pinnace has moved further North of Fallen London

You can new assign items usable in combat to different slots from the Hold page on the gazetteer

Performance optimisations
