I hear you! We will experiment with the level of shake to see how it feels. Right now it would only shake for a brief moment when you actually take damage and then settle back to being still

This led to a massive column promoting the day, and Barry noting that talking like a pirate "will infuse your everyday conversations with romance and danger." The internet caught wind, the sails went up, and the viral day was born.

It all started back in June 1995 on a highly treacherous battlefield... an indoor racquetball court in Oregon. Friends John Baur ("Ol’ Chumbucket") and Mark Summers ("Cap’n Slappy") were playing a game when one of them got injured and yelled a hearty, agonizing "ARRR!"

Follow-up to the map work: picking a destination now actually leads somewhere. Select a route and it opens the Voyage Manifest, an overview of where you're headed, the boss waiting there, and a place to declare your weapon and cargo for the trip. #indiegames #gamedev🧵

Getting the route-avoidance feeling right (not too "smart," like it can see islands it hasn't discovered yet) took some work. Worth it though, because the world of Davy Jones' Deckhand just became a lot more alive. #gamedev

Every voyage now draws a real route between ports, and it actually sails around islands instead of cutting through them. Each dash on the line is one encounter, so the path is real gameplay data, not just decoration.

Our voyage map used to be one big hand-painted image. Pretty, but it couldn't handle scrolling, zooming, or expansion. This week we started to rebuild it: the map now lives on a real 3D plane you can pan and zoom, with the same hand-painted look (WIP!) 🧵
