How do you play that Aqua-Baana with the Elder? I mean what's the logic of the game? Yeah I know I can just skip it, but it's bugging me!
Well, actually, this is a very old and popular rather casual game - you need to put your chips in a row (4 pieces like) either horizontally, vertically, or obliquely before the opponent.

Uh-oh. Can't wait to return to the ship to reunite with the crew...

I wonder if we will reconcile with Dolores or just enslave her.
Or if we will see Cathal and Leephi again.


I just hope new Steam policy will not delay next update.
Will Chapter 5 be the last ? Do you plan a second opus afterward ?

A little spoiler I can share: There will be 2 paths for how to deal with Dolores. Leephi and Cathal can meet if you complete someone's side quests and reach a specific ending.

The update on Steam will be released at the end of September - per the publisher's request.

Chapter 5 will definitely be the last one, but any future work (new games, DLC's) will depend on whether the game is financially successful or not. We will see if the game recoups its costs, and that will determine if we do anything more.

Two path, very intriguing.

Fingers crossed for your success.
Discovered your game a little by chance and I really love it.
Fantasy pirates is not a theme enough exploited in games. Except perhaps in Pillars of Eternity 2.

no steam update?
It will be at the end of September - the publisher asked. In general, we hoped that those who played earlier would point out the mistakes and we would fix them. But so far, no one has written anything about the update.

There are no questions here - of course you can. The question is, why would the ship's crew drop everything and jump into the water after Fabian? Or why should underwater girls get out of their usual environment? (Where are the men going?)
Sorry for the late reply but, well for the underwater girls Ka seems like the kind of person who'd follow Fabian no matter where he ends up, maybe the same for the others as well, except Fortune probably.
As for the ship's crew, probably no way they'd agree to that unless they're wanted to a level where they'll be killed on sight.
I mean that's only the impression I got from playing the game, but whatever you write I'm sure it will be great, that ending in the last update was bittersweet but great.
It's just that if in a harem ending I have to pick between only underwater girls or above water girls... well that defeats the whole purpose of an ending like that, doesn't it?

Yes, that's right. And by the way, an ending is also planned with her, if you perform some actions.
Cool, wish the protagonist could also breathe anywhere, not a request just wishful thinking really, that underwater part of the game to me felt like it's best moment so far, shame to see it end.
Also another question if you could kindly sate my curiosity but Fabian mentioned his father used to enchant what he forged. Does that mean given the setting the protagonist can cast spells or has the potential to learn spellcasting? Because that would be AWESOME!

So, look, the harem ending was planned for the [main] crew, meant to gather all the main female characters together. However, the underwater girls are rather secondary characters (they didn't appear for long), so the harem concept doesn't concern them.

I considered writing an ending where Fabian ends up with everyone at once, but I feel that would be very far-fetched. I'd have to figure out how he convinces them all to come together (whether on the surface or underwater), describe it believably, and make sure the players actually buy into it!

I'm probably going to disappoint you here - the harem ending will be for the surface girls only. The underwater girls will get their own four separate endings.

This whole situation turned out to be pretty funny with us! The programmer was the one who suggested adding the "enchantments," and when I was translating it, I described it as if his father was an enchanter and it was all connected to real magic. But when he saw it, he clarified: "I meant it as a joke, like merchants and blacksmiths would 'endow' their goods with magical properties to sell them, even though the items were completely ordinary."

So yeah, that's how it happened. But now there's a certain duality to it. And considering Fabian actually uses magical items, maybe he is special in that regard after all :)

No it's alright, like I said I'm sure whatever you all write will be great, after all I haven't been disappointed so far.
I'll just do a new playthrough when the final version releases, and thank you for all the responses by the way.
But if you don't mind I'd like to make a request which you can of course ignore if you want, and I swear this is the last time I'll bring up this topic... but could you please add an alternate harem ending with only the underwater girls, nothing extensive it could even be a compilation of the four separate endings and the fact they're not trying to kill each other or the protagonist because he decided to hit on all of them?

Pirate Wizard or Warlock does sound like a cool archetype.
Just don't call him a wizard of the.... shore.
Also are you a fan of Pathfinder?

Theoretically, getting the this kind of harem ending is possible and not overly complicated. The main challenge in crew harem is accumulating enough relationship points, as certain actions will please one character but upset another. This makes it the hardest ending to unlock. In contrast, the underwater ladies' ending was a simple yes-or-no choice after completing their quests, making it far easier to get.

Ahah, we'll need to have some guide for relationships one day, for the harem ending.
(At least, we have that beautiful picture with the four chicks with the hero on his throne).

Personally, I didn't romanced Sea girls, except the mermaid with her human face and (almost) real legs. So I am very longing to return to the surface.
And I was very glad with the cultist update, even if I had to do again all the chapters xd.

Have you another game project after this one ? Still on fantasy ?

100% after release, we'll put together a detailed walkthrough (though, honestly, we'd love it if a player would do it). As for the next project - we have no idea what it will be yet. This is our first project, and we've been working on it for 4-5 years already (some of us are a bit tired). Most likely, we'll see if it is financially successful, and then decide: nothing, DLCs, or the next game.
