Cargo stacking got awkward once goods started remembering where they came from. Two batches of grain should fit in the same hold slot, but I still need to know which port each batch came from when selling. So now a slot can hold separate lots. Less inventory Tetris.

@KrytiqueDev The timestamp pins sound genuinely useful. Watching the exact moment someone gets confused beats a vague 'it was fun' every time. Can testers leave a note with the pin too?

@GauntleteerGame That rain is doing a lot of work here. The moment the lightning hits and the whole scene flashes for a second feels really good.

@nyossan_games Having underpaid clerks actually defect with the cargo is a nasty consequence 😄 I like that wages aren't just another upkeep number.

@studionemo_de That silhouette is unsettling even before it moves. Using folklore for sea creatures gives you so much stranger material than just making another big fish.

@ChiveArcade Exactly. I really want the encounter to test something the player already understands instead of introducing a brand new rule while they're panicking 😄

The Leviathan used to be too easy to escape with a lucky tailwind. So I changed the encounter: it now creates a dead-air zone around itself, forcing you to crawl past it before the wind helps again. Much nastier now. 🐙 #gamedev

@nphivu414 Coming from web dev too, this kind of thing was such a weird mental switch for me. Suddenly sorting isn't just a UI problem anymore 😄

@TraitoreanGames Yeah, that makes sense. Fixed duration is probably much easier to balance too. I’d definitely end up overthinking a variable version 😄

@ChiveArcade The whirlpool appears first, and the player’s flag shows the wind direction outside the zone. By the time the Leviathan appears, the player should already understand how much wind affects speed, so the encounter builds on a mechanic they already know. 😁

Working on hamlets growing into towns. As they change, prices and freight contracts change with them. A safe trade route doesn't stay safe forever.

I'm playing with markets changing while you're at sea. You can leave port thinking grain is a safe bet, then arrive to find the price has moved. The wind might be fine. Your ledger, not so much.

@whaledevstudios 41 berths is a lot of harbor 😄 I've been working on ports lately too, so this caught my eye.

@10kCoins I like that trading is the main focus here. Definitely checking out the demo.

@Benjapenguin Same problem over here with wind. The snow already reads really well, though.

@Karlegrund Congrats on the announcement! I will test it for sure 😃

@XscoGames For me it's the economy when prices keep changing while you're busy somewhere else. Too little and the market feels dead. Too much and it starts to feel random.

@rosolowski_dev I like this. Being able to rip out a module you regret is such a nice thing to have in a ship builder.

@zackontopx @threejs Really like the atmosphere here. Especially the pier and lighthouse in the distance. I've been working a lot on harbors and lighting lately, so this immediately caught my eye.
