New Peer to Peer Lobby System using steam built in feature. You can now browse hosted game or make your own. Once in a lobby you can freely adjust teams, captains and see what everyone else is doing as well. Playing is now the easiest its been since the transition!

- Sirocco Riptide - 22 October 2025
After swapping out our netcode, player-hosted games are now available! Which means your favorite boating game has found its way back into Gaben’s good graces (praise be Gaben, open thy crates in his name). Which ALSO means you can download Sirocco again and host custom games. Games are now coordinated through Discord, so what are you waiting for? The water’s just fine.Happy boating. Story time:Switching from an online dedicated server setup to a peer-to-peer system was not a straightforward task. There are still plenty of improvements needed, both when getting into a game and during gameplay, but the core experience is now available for single-player and peer-to-peer matches, including playing against bots with your friends. All captains are playable, but you won’t have access to your skins. If we find a way to get the backend services back up and running, we have copies of everyone’s p…

Greetings Boat Game Enjoyers We got some fancy updates for you. Let’s Start with the BIGGINS Pre-Loaded Loom Coils: Each Captain starts with 2 Loom Coils at the beginning of a match.

- Hotfix Patch 0.9.4 - 28 May 2025
Hotfix Attempt: We’ve pushed a hotfix to address an issue with Crucible’s second ability, which was occasionally hitting a target multiple times in a single frame. This is one of those “ghost bugs”—hard to reproduce consistently, seemingly random, but persistent enough in real matches that we had to try something while we investigate further. Although this behavior is partially safeguarded against in our code, it's still slipping through, and we're working to identify what’s causing it. After this patch, let us know if you still encounter it. Every video or report helps us gather clues and get closer to a proper fix. We’ve also got a larger patch planned for the end of this week or the start of next. Crucible Ability 2 - Broadsides slow reduced from knots to knot slow. Augment Striker: can no longer deal damage to already broadsided enemies (indicated if they are slowed) but now increas…

General Changes Ping duration on the mini-map from 2.5 seconds to 5 seconds Max pings per minute reduced from 10 to 6. you can only ping once every 10 seconds now. note: we are working on a muting function. but for now we gotta lower it. once we have a muting function in we will raise the limit for the people that can use responsible Structures Take 70% reduced damage from triggered damage sources of weapons. Like Orban Kings, Spark Generator, etc.. Shipyard and Saltcore damage reduction from minions increased from 20% to 30% Note: having minions help push is great and a corner stone of the macro game, but they shouldn't be leading to games ending all on there own to often Minions Incoming damage reduced from triggered weapon projectiles and area from…

HEY how are you WE CHANGED THINGS don’t worry. Only for the good. When we change things for the bad, we’ll make sure to let you know beforehand. Our normal patch cycle is usually 6 weeks for regular new features and larger scale additions. With weekly to bi-weekly balance adjustments. During these first few weeks of Early Access, we are more focused on bugs, and stability issues, so patches might not be at the normal cadence. It’s important to remember that if you don’t see your feedback reflected in the patch notes, it doesn't mean it was passed over. Most things take time to build and iterate on. Just know we are reading all of your feedback and cooking up the bestest boat game ever. When you see X stands for the value something starts at and Y stands for the max value. For abilities, X is level 1 of the ability, and Y is either ability level 20 (ship level 50) or ability level 10 for…
