- Praxia Entertainment Is Closing Down - 30 May 2023
Hi everyone! It's been a really long time since we last posted an announcement, and we wish it was under better circumstances. Sadly, it has come time to close down Praxia Entertainment. Our game sales have dried up and we no longer have the funds to keep the company going. We truly appreciate anyone who purchased the game and engaged with the community. It was a real pleasure to make this game and we only wish we had been able to add more to it and support it for longer. Sincerely, The Praxia Dev Team.
- Version 1.0.1 Released - Quality of Life & Balance Updates - 22 January 2019
Today we released a small patch with some quality of life improvements and some balance updates. Players wanting a more casual experience will find combat easier on Very Easy and Easy settings, and players wanting a more challenging experience will find combat much harder on any setting higher than Normal. We've also made some balance changes to pirate mode to make it more effective. And for lefties or anyone wanting to use the arrow keys, we've heard you and those keys can now be re-binded in the options screen. Thanks for all the feedback so far! The game difficulty slider now affects combat difficulty - on lower settings human players and their escorts will take less damage, and on higher settings they will take more. Increased rate of decay on skull rating while in pirate mode, and reduced the delay before it starts decaying - should make pirate mode more effective. You can now rebi…

- Patch 0.3.2 – A Brand New World - 18 January 2018
The island loomed out of the mist, a heavy haze wrapping around its central mountain in a ring. As the ship crept closer, the mountain became a massive temple pyramid, its stepped sides covered in a thick layer of vines and creepers. The scarlet-haired woman held a spyglass to her eye, observed the island for another few moments, then glanced down at the map she was holding. She frowned. This island appeared nowhere on the map. “Wow!” The young raven-haired crewwoman exclaimed. “Would’ya lookit that! You have any idea where we are cap’n?” She pressed against the ship’s railing, her eyes wide with wonder and a grin spread across her tanned, freckled face. “I… have no idea.” Scarlett replied “It’s like this island just appeared out of nowhere...” “We goin’ ta investigate?” “Mmmhmm…” “Ya figure there’s sumthin’ shiny in there?” “Very likely.” “It prob’ly dangerous?” “Most definitely.” “I s…

- Path 0.3.1 - Clever Girl... - 18 November 2017
The shark rushed at the boat’s hull, on a direct collision course with it’s mouth agape. “Steady... STEADY!” Jaerax exclaimed from the shoreboat’s deck, a harpoon raised above his head. He talked loudly and confidently to the 5 other men huddled in the small craft alongside him. “See men? They always come at you in a straight line, you just hold your harpoon like so, and wait for it... NOW!” Jaerax threw his harpoon. The shark dodged to the right. The harpoon splooshed harmlessly into the water. The boat shook as the shark careened into it, tearing a chunk off the prow and biting a paddle in half before diving below the water. Jaerax stood with a stunned look on his face. “Huh. Well, they uhh... don’t usually do that. This one must be smarter than the rest. ... also, someone should patch that hole before we sink.” There was a flurry of activity as a pair of crewmen started hammering pla…

- Patch 0.3.0 - Wind and Waves! - 20 September 2017
A cannonball sailed past the ship’s stern, splashing into the water close enough to send a spray of water over the deck. “Cap’n! They be gainin’ on us! What da we do?” “Are they? Hold fast our course Mr. Smith, that’s an order.” The blonde man’s eyes narrowed dangerously as he stared at the approaching ship, its black sails fluttering in the wind. He lifted his tricorn hat off his head and held it in the breeze, tilting it slightly to feel how the wind caught it. He plopped it back on his head. The pirate ship was indeed gaining on them. It had been getting ever-closer over the course of the past hour and its guns were almost within range of the Deadman’s Revenge. “Let them come...” Captain James Corben growled under his breath. “Mr. Smith! Kindly ready the helm to turn ninety degrees north on my mark. Mr. Ellis?” “Yes cap’n!” The bald, bearded quartermaster shouted back from the deck b…

- Patch 0.2.0 - It Took Me Leg! - 25 June 2017
The large, muscular man reached over with a scarred hand and tore off the wanted poster from the rum-stained board. “Huh? Some old pirate wants revenge on the shark that ate his leg. Cap’n, you see this?” Jaerax leaned back in his chair to regard his crewman. The scar above the eyepatch on his right eye twitched, as if trying to frown. His remaining eye narrowed skeptically. “A shark? Really? What is he paying?” “Says here 500 gold…” “Who would pay 500 gold to kill a shark because of a grudge?” “Looks like his name is Jhon “Scaliwag” Hendrs…” “That was rhetorical, Tarthus. I don’t care what his name is.” “Right sir. So… uhh, we gonna take the job?” “To find a random shark somewhere out there in the vast sea in order to settle a grudge by a crazy old pirate?” “... A pirate with 500 gold.” Jaerax grunted. “Point taken. How much did the fishmonger pay us for the carcass of our last kill?”…

- Patch 0.1.9 – There Be Iron in Them Thar Hills! - 12 May 2017
Emelynn stepped over the side of the skiff onto the white sand beach. Four men splashed into the water behind her and started pushing the boat further up onto the sand. Emelynn shielded her eyes from the glaring sun with a white gloved hand, surveying her surroundings. Palm trees dotted the beach, interspersed by giant boulders jutting up from the bedrock below. An imposing mountain stood at the centre of the island. Halfway up the mountain’s face, light red veins could be seen cutting through the rock. “Iron…” Emelynn whispered. “Mr Jhons, take several men with you and survey that mountain, I suspect you will find something very useful.” “Aye Cap’n” The yellow bearded shipmate nodded eagerly as he finished tying the skiff to a nearby palm tree. “Oy, Jacobs, Neilson, Smith! You heard the captain, you’re with me. Let’s go for a walk boys, bring the climbing gear.” Emelynn watched as the…

- Patch 0.1.8 - YARRR! Thar Be a Fat Prize! - 8 March 2017
The red-haired woman held the spyglass to her eye and aimed it at several specks on the horizon. Three ships came into view. Goldwater city flags could be seen whipping in the breeze atop their masts. The middle ship was much larger than the other two, and riding low in the water. “Mister Combs” Scarlet remarked sweetly as a she furrowed her brow, “Come have a look at this. What do you make of it?” The grizzled first mate took the spyglass from Scarlett’s hand and held it to his eye, pointing it in the direction she indicated. “Three Goldwater ships cap’n. Looks like an escort of some kind to me. The big one’s hauling a lot of cargo, probably bound fer somewhere important I’d say...” Mr Combs lowered the spyglass and offered it back to Scarlett. A devious smile crossed Scarlett’s lips as she took back the spyglass. “Yes. It does look that way, doesn’t it? I wonder where they are going w…

- Patch 0.1.7 - Choose yer Side! - 4 February 2017
The young sailor hung desperately to the ironlike wrist that held him aloft. He glanced nervously at the dark water churning beneath his dangling feet, then back to the face of the pirate that held him. A single bloodshot eye stared out at him from amongst a matted mess of hair and beard. Smoke from a pipe clenched between the pirate’s teeth swirled around the sailor’s head with every word he uttered, it smelled of tobacco, salt, and decay. The sailor struggled not to gag. “I’d, choose yer next words carefully lad, for they may be yer last amongst the living. Do ye take the black? Or no?” “Uhh, yes sir mist… umm, CAPTAIN Dreadbeard sir! I... I… take the black gladly! I’ll serve you well, you’ll see!” The pirate looked unimpressed, narrowing his eye as he stared at the young man. The empty socket beneath his eyepatch was growing cold and icy mist was beginning to seep from beneath it, cu…

- Patch 0.1.6 – YARRR! Thar She Blows Cap’n! - 24 December 2016
Something large and dark rises from the deep. It gets closer, and closer, and closer... *Boop* It rams into your ship’s starboard bow with all the ferocity of a wet bag of kittens. “Oh… it’s a harbour whale. Deckman Morris, grab me that harpoon over there, the town’s gonna eat well tonight!” Welcome to patch 0.1.6, where the Leviathan’s smaller, more peaceful cousins have invaded the Mythic Isles – you will now find numerous whale species roaming the game world. The addition of these gentle giants further contributes to a more vibrant, living/breathing world, while also forming a basis for further aquatic creature additions and iterations. Whales can be hunted for food by enterprising ship captains, but be warned... one takes up the harpoon of a whale hunter at their own risk, for the Leviathan is rumored not to take kindly to the wanton killing of his brethren… New Content Thar She Blo…
