Ahoy there! Today we have finally fully released our game Blackwake! After three years in early access we are happy with the current state of the game.

Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time.

Quick clearing up: - Bots are not intended to replace players, but help maintain the ship while a server seeds - The initial bot patch was just a starting point, not final at all - We were aware they were OP and got in the way, leaving little for anyone to do - Bots will be able to be fully disabled once they are balanced. Currently they can be disabled with useBots...

3.87 - Bots Bots fighting eachother In an effort to resolve the frustration and boredom brought on by attempting to crew a nearly empty ship (often causing servers to die), we have added bots. This will help ensure there is an adequate amount of action taking place in Blackwake at any time. Here is what bots currently do: - Load cannons - Fire cannons - Use the pump...

Blackwake has long since leaned on a heavy player requirement to feel the action that the game is supposed to give you with a full crew. This design did not come without consequences, though. By requiring so many players per faction it started to become clear how torturous it was to simply man an under crewed ship while waiting for players to join. Working closely with our testing community on the...
