Pirate Twist is now $4.67, permanently ⚓Not a sale, not a weekend thing. This is the new base price for the rest of Early Access, and it comes with a thank you and a small apology.💰 Why $4.67I had settled on $4.99.

Looking at them next to what landed this week, they do not. So all three come ashore here, and if your last voyage was v1.4.0 there is a fair amount below you have not seen.🌥️ The sky moves nowI drew...

Early Access Update v1.4.0 ⚓Three updates have been riding at anchor waiting on one another. Enough of that — they all come ashore today.A word on why they queued up. Pirate Twist is made by one person: me, in the evenings, around a wife and two kids who can now identify a cannon reload by ear through a closed door. So the work lands in waves rather than a steady drip. The playtest crew has been p...

Until today, Pirate Twist on a 21:9 or 32:9 screen was honestly a mess — menus blown up and cut off, the expedition chart huddled in the middle of the parchment, end-screens stretched like old sailcloth.
