Flag I designed for a trading company, the Brēkjentske Strjittelântse Kompanjie, in a worldbuilding setting of mine, taking place in a flintlock fantasy setting very similar to Crosswind. Would love to live out the ideas of that within the world of this game!

[shrewd magnet]

"The Black Sails rose against the crimson sky, a omen of doom to those who dared cross her path. With cannon fire and steel, she carved her legend upon the waves—where the sea whispered her name in fear, and the wind carried her ghostly echoes into the night."

The Black Sails be seekin’ fierce and fearless pirates to join our crew! If ye have the heart for plunder, the skill for battle, and the thirst for adventure, then step aboard! Gold, glory, and the open sea await—but only the bold survive.

Do ye have what it takes? Sign yer name in blood and sail under the Black Sails! 🏴‍☠️🔥 DM @shrewd magnet)

[paper dune]

Felt like using A.I. to flex? like what're you flexing?

[ruby harness]

A.I. yes, I was still editing ber

[wooden dawn]

Not really a fan of AI myself but idk how this is flexing

[paper dune]

Idk either because it's A.I. that's why I was confused, who says "Look at my A.I. artwork" trying to show their creativity

[shrewd magnet]

If I only could make art like that myself, pfew 🫡

[wooden dawn]

I mean it’s not bad. I do like that style of art, just a shame it’s AI

[shrewd magnet]

Yeah, I agree. AI took over the world tbh.

[wooden dawn]

Wish i still had my tablet, I used to do a few pieces for friends and games

My own work, not AI

[paper dune]

Yall know that A.I. artwork is like, extremely stolen right? and that it's against steam TOS?
and by northamerican law not Original artworks

[visual jetty]

T you smell like a wet sponge

[ruby harness]

i had no intention of flexing...as i said, i wanted to. sorry

[wooden dawn]

Get outta here you

[visual jetty]

Neva

[wooden dawn]

Blud finally decides to check his DMs

[visual jetty]

It's been one day!!

[wooden dawn]

💀

[shrewd magnet]

If you make AI-Art, you are the owner of that right? Same with Suno.AI for example? Or am I completely wrong here.

[wooden dawn]

Last message yeah

Previous?

Nuh uh

[paper dune]

No you are not

[visual jetty]

Not ai ketch wip

Cant tell through the trailer of this game if there will be more ships or ship customization

[wooden dawn]

Nah that’s AI

[visual jetty]

[paper dune]

This just went through in US court for a second time, still can't own A.I. works

[shrewd magnet]

Long story short:

Never knew that tbh, good to know.

[wooden dawn]

I don’t wanna clog this chat up @visual jetty lmk what you think of the game from what you’ve seen in DMs or general

[paper dune]

yeah and ontop of that btw, the "you may have usage rights" applies to literally anyone who see's the image

[shrewd magnet]

Yeah, true.

[paper dune]

Yee, hince why some devlopers and artists try to shun it so heavily too, they work too hard on their games just to be associated with stolen / illegal artworks being seen as "allowed" in their game, not saying it's the case here just saying be careful of using A.I. as crosswinds has not given us their stance on the subject

[shrewd magnet]

I've heard ARK got sued as well for using AI?

[paper dune]

Yeah very likely, A.I. in games is generally a big no no

[twilit hatch]

i dont think ark ever got sued for ai, i know theyve sued another company for stolen assets, the only thing against ark and ai right now is their new random dlc for a game they shut down used ai for its trailer

[paper dune]

Thank you, was trying to look into this but yeah this does sum it all up pretty well

[visual jetty]

A few ships I drew in college

[paper dune]

btw sorry for the tag @buoyant shoal but I did want to ask the official stance on A.I. from crosswind

[visual jetty]

Preferablly not imo

[paper dune]

I'd hope so but I wanted to ask so it's written somewhere to refrence

[paper dune]

Also love the sketches, they look great!

[visual jetty]

Thank you, very inspired from AC4 ship concept art from before the game was released
Great mix of semi realistic designs with their own grungy flare with stowage and repairs all over, great look

[dapper raft]

A lot of people use AI nowadays so...

[visual jetty]

Doesn't mean it gets a place in a creative space alongside more worked on pieces

[paper dune]

A lot of people getting into car accidents, licking toilets, eating uncooked bats, the list goes on

[dapper raft]

I don't see how that has anything to do with what I said, AI is a tool that can be used both in good and bad ways, I don't see why the studio using AI would be a bad thing as long as it's used properly, also depends where it's used, e.g to help with coding and not like art stuff and things like that.

[visual jetty]

The topic is being able to post ai work in this channel, which would most likely be ai art not coding and such

[dapper raft]

I mean posting AI work in here is dumb imo

[visual jetty]

Ai as a tool can be really helpful and I promote it for use in that way, but as an art form not so much

[wooden dawn]

AI code is typically bad

[shrewd magnet]

ChatGPT for the win most of the time :p

[wooden dawn]

It does depend on what model you use but generally it’s not advised

[dapper raft]

I'd say Claude has made some really good strides when it comes to AI code with their recent work but it's getting better I suppose.

Anyhow, the channels desc says share original work so not sure on how much AI art would qualify as original.

[wooden dawn]

It all comes down to ethics and morals. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should

I wouldn’t call AI original

[paper dune]

Agreed but yea what mace said, this was in refrence to posting art/creative works in this channel, also steam requires disclosing A.I. use and crosswind doesn't have that disclosure meaning steam did have to check and make sure A.I. wasn't used in the game, if they didn't then I imagine it means A.I. wasn't used in the game

[dapper raft]

Yeah I'd hope AI stuff for art isn't allowed in here ;p

[paper dune]

Same but still, with no written rules I'd like to get an official moderator stance on this

[buoyant shoal]

Welp, that’s a tough one. For now, let’s not use AI-generated art in this channel. If we open the door without limits, it could easily get bloated and drown out original works, and that’s something we really want to avoid. Yeah, it’s a controversial topic for sure, but let's keep this approach.

[paper dune]

Thank you for the ruling! I just wanted to make sure we could all be on the same page!

[pallid gyro]

These are so well done!

[visual jetty]

Thank you

[visual jetty]

A few low poly ship models I've worked on and an honorary dutch ship of the line I threw together in minecraft

Honorary hull I started for the Helene as well, might get back to it at some point

[wooden dawn]

Bro is procrastinatingmaxxing

[visual jetty]

Going to not make physical planks in the model to save on tris next time I do an aos ship

[visual jetty]

Everytime I start a new ship I learn something new on blender and want to try it on another new ship its a terrible loop

[wooden dawn]

Maybe just make a base model for you try new stuff on

[visual jetty]

When I have a reason to model I'm a powerhouse but right now I don't so its just whatever seems fun at the moment

[wooden dawn]

Model me like one of your French ships

[harsh eagle]

I want to share my pirate paintings from various places to fellow pirates!

[supple sluice]

I recognize some SoT inspired art when I see it! Good work!

[harsh eagle]

Frick Yeah!

[supple sluice]

Ran across a random pirate a few years back in SoT that offered to do a portrait of my wife and I after we had a good fight on the seas.

[harsh eagle]

that is sweet! people came to me for their pirate and their love one's pirate that is how I made these portraits XDD they are all comss

[velvet gust]

I know quite literally nothing about 3D modelling etc

I can see your hull looks pretty sweet, but how would you handle the trimmings and the sails, and then animating them for a game purpose

I’m just curious as to the process

[visual jetty]

I only work on the modelling side of things, I don't have much experience having my models work in game engines and such theyre usually just visual

Physically modeling ropes and sails is easy enough but having them work in a game enviorment and be interactive is a whole other side of things

[velvet gust]

Ah okay, makes a lot of sense

Yeah - I could see how you can create a visually stunning ship

But can’t work out how you’d retain the sails and trimmings if you wanted to animate them

Thanks for your answer though

[visual jetty]

I just model for fun, if I had an oppurtunity to work for a game and model ships it'd be different but for now they're purely visual

This is probably my most put together aos ship model, I usually work on trawlers (for some weird reason)

[limber fog]

What u use to make it? To model it?

[visual jetty]

Blender

[limber fog]

Ah ok

Never really used blender before

Tried but It but couldn’t do it

[visual jetty]

Its tough to get into

[paper dune]

Hey so I figured I'd share my bigest creative project I've had to date, I got my fiancée to do the art but me and my her mate a Pirate Trading Card Game, currently looking into ways to bring it to life and actually have it not only printed but also for sale
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2845200753

Lemme get some screenshots of the cards, it's also a wip now but it's been a fun 4+ year endevor

[paper dune]

I'm also working on a Rogue Like game and with it being about a multiverse of course I needed to add some Pirate levels, here are their WIPS

The mentioned tavern

[hardy wing]

Looks really nice!

[paper dune]

Thanks, I focused on game devlopment since highschool and level design has always been a specalty / passion of mine

[paper dune]

Which part of the song creation was you? Asking for a friend.

[earnest void]

Only lyrics

[paper dune]

Writing or singing?

[earnest void]

All I did was write the lyrics and then let AI create the song from the lyrics

[paper dune]

Oh

[earnest void]

It's not AI generated art it's the lyrics are mine

[paper dune]

The backtrack and song notes are still A.I. generated though

[earnest void]

If you wish to be technical AI generation as definition is defined as something created entirely from AI stolen from artworks of others the lyrics are mine pure plain and simple

[paper dune]

The insturmental is still stolen from artists

[earnest void]

If you want to pursue that road then I can simply say every artist has stolen from every artist because everyone uses the same music just different lyrics

One can own the lyrics to a song but they cannot own the beat to that song

[paper dune]

You can still copyright an instrumental

There is no copyright in AI generated outputs, this includes whatever it generates in musical productions.

[earnest void]

AI actually can be considered copyright all you got to do is just use someone else's lyrics and and boom you just stole someone else's stuff so people that say that you can't really copyright AI I think they need to go back to school... If a person takes the time to draw out something and then allows AI to finish out the drawing they still own that drawing same with lyrics if a person creates lyrics and then uses AI to finish the song itself they still own that song they on the lyrics but not to be because you can't actually own a beat you might want to look into freedom of expression because there are several artists that have used other people's music but different lyrics

[paper dune]

People have tried more than once with both Images and now songs, courts have rules A.I. outputs cannot be copywritten

[earnest void]

Brother you don't want to be talking loud to me especially considering the fact that I've been enforcing the law for the past 14 years

[paper dune]

If you add your lyrics to an AI-generated song, you need to tread very carefully, your lyrics too might become Public Domain."

"While copyright law doesn’t allow you to claim ownership of an entirely AI-generated song, it does permit you to claim copyright for any human elements you add. The more you contribute, the greater your copyright claim.
If you add lyrics, you can claim copyright to the lyrics.
If you add live instruments, you can claim copyright to those instrumental parts.
If you remix or remaster the song, you can claim copyright to the remixed and remastered version.
If you replace all AI-generated instruments and vocals with live ones (including sampled instrument sounds), you can claim full copyright of the song. At this stage, the work is considered entirely reworked and, legally, a new creation."

Sure you can copyright your lyrics, but only your lyrics

[paper dune]

I'm not trying to talk loud or rude, I'm sorry if it sounds like I am.

[earnest void]

Of an entirely AI generated song guess what AI didn't generate the entire song I made the lyrics

All artificial intelligence did was make the music I made the lyrcs

[paper dune]

"While copyright law doesn’t allow you to claim ownership of an entirely AI-generated song, it does permit you to claim copyright for any human elements you add"
This still means you cannot copyright or call any part other than the written lyrics original

[earnest void]

That's literally what I just said I made the lyrics that's the only thing from it that I made

[paper dune]

But you didn't post just lyrics, you posted an entire song

[earnest void]

question for you, have you ever heard of music sampling?

Also just DM me your response so we don't end up flooding the creative channel

Like we already have unfortunately

[fleet cove]

Copywright laws change and currently AI generated music is not copywritable but! If you open the tune in Audacity and change it between 7-11% (tempo, depth, additions etc) you can 'own' it but it's not your normal 'copyright' process.

Also, your an officer I presume @earnest void ? I did the cop thing in the Army and then for about three months civilian. Too much paperwork and not enough money.

[earnest void]

well, I cope with the paperwork for $21.47 an hour... yeah, its not much and shipyard workers get paid WAY more then that, but, you dont do it for the money, atleast, I dont.... as for owning what I created, I care not to "own" the music its self, its enough to know the lyrics are my own lol

[paper dune]

After a lot of editing and permission to share, I now have a thumbnail for the first stream I do of this game, I'm sharing a screenshot of it in krita not the PNG itself but I don't think it removes any major quality

@shrewd magnet you asked about it 😉

[shrewd magnet]

Ooooooo, nice!

[rare forge]

It should be called "how my shore adventure began"

[paper dune]

That's not a bad one, I'm just a fan of alliteration

[paper dune]

I know, I was debaiting taking a chapter name from it but I haven't read it in so long

I really should get a copy of the book to read, could put it on my kindle

[quick tundra]

hey ya'll, here is some crosswind fan art! entirely done on photoshop. As someone who loves reading about the golden years of piracy, I have been waiting for a game like this for a looooooong time. hats off to the entire team developing this game! amazing job!!

Yo, I’m tryin to teach myself blender so make stuff like this, any tutorials you could point out to me by chance?

[visual jetty]

Depends what youre looking to make, a lot of different ways to make a lot of different things

[azure garden]

Well age of sail ships, sci fi stuff eventually

[visual jetty]

The biggest tip I can give you is learning the basics first, mostly keybinds since its what people have the most issue with

The donut video is what id personally reccomend, after that point its easier to ask questions as they come with ships since theres not any really good videos on it. So if you run in any issues just hit me up

[paper dune]

Please do not post A.I. works

[paper dune]

I believe yall will dig this one, I got a banner with me and my undead crew made by @mystic wedge it looks awesome and while it's just a ship I stile eventually I'll have a ship design to go with it

[paper dune]

I got new emotes to play with too thanks to her

[celest parcel]

Text in white and it's masterpiece

[azure garden]

Hell yeah, thanks man

[hallow thorn]

Just a heads up: you all are very welcome to share your artwork not just here but in our Steam community hub, in artwork section. Let's get this populated a bit 🔥

@paper dune @quick tundra

[paper dune]

Bet, it's currently 1AM but I'll share all I can tomorrow!

Also got this ping in the middle of doom scrolling trying to recover from something and the universe must've been sending me a sign because.....

[quick tundra]

Awesome! Will do

[paper dune]

@hallow thorn Not for a lack of trying but it goes to my personal profile fine but when trying to upload to the community hub I keep getting an error

I'll share the thumbnail to reddit for now though!

[hallow thorn]

Weird
maybe Bambino could help? IDK why

[paper dune]

I'm not sure, I just posted to the reddit for now but I'm gonna also look into why steam wouldn't let me share

If it's a new piece I get this

[shrewd magnet]

You uploading something to Steam Crosswind page?

[paper dune]

yeah to their artwork section

[shrewd magnet]

Ah yeah, if the game hasn’t been published yet, you won’t be able to upload content. However, if they allow it, then you can.

[paper dune]

Ooooh @buoyant shoal I'd love to be able to post to it!

[shrewd magnet]

Developers can adjust the Steam Community permissions to allow players to upload artwork, even if the game is still in playtest. They need to modify the community settings in Steamworks to enable artwork submissions for the game’s hub 🙏

[paper dune]

Thank you, haven't had much of a community myself so I'm new to those settings!

[shrewd magnet]

If a developer sees this, here you go: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/community#1

I know because I have developer status with certain games as well. It’s a great feature to have, but it really depends on factors like potential NDAs and other relevant considerations, you know?

[paper dune]

Yeah I gotcha, I've mostly done QA and a bit of design stuff for the companies I've worked with, my newest project was the only one I've been this responsible for and it came out in January. I'm a fast learner though so I'm picking up everything I can as best I can

[shrewd magnet]

Ahhh, okay! That sounds great and really interesting. Hope you keep doing what you love, man!

[paper dune]

Oh I am, that's why I'm here while I work, I can afford to spend more time on discord and other platforms because I'm in a big designing phase at the moment and that's all done on my notepad

[shrewd magnet]

Oooooh, easy peasy! 😄

[paper dune]

Indeed

[paper dune]

You see the current Pirate Levels for my main Project I posted?
#🎨│creative message

[shrewd magnet]

I see! Looks interesting. Isn't that from the Poly Pirate assets? I think I've seen it before. 🤔 Not that it's a problem, of course!

Or did you make everything by hand? If so, 👌 sheesh

[paper dune]

It is the low poly pack yeah, we're just a simple programmer and 2D artist so we take the help we can get, we're slowly learning modeling but all in all it's likely that for the Pirate levels and some others it'll be those packs but with our own textures and styles

[shrewd magnet]

Nice! Let me know about the progress, stuff like that always interests me! 🙂

[paper dune]

Will do, for the day at least I'm working on some other things because networking is hard AF and I don't wanna deal with that stress alone atm so it may be a bit but I do plan on making that game, just, slowly

[azure garden]

Flag concepts and some characters from a pirate themed DnD campaign cut wayyyyyyy too short

unwraping is a long job

is it your first try to modelling this ship ?

can't count the amount of times I've said "Fluyt" in this server

[fleet condor]

hullo! My characters may or may not steal a number of dutch colonial boats. technically misplaced I think? but ah well

[fleet condor]

YES! Id love to see some form of flyboat/fluyt in the game at some point as a medium sized merchant ship

i really like the games art style and im so curious as to how it would be translated

[visual jetty]

I'm hoping well see some 1600's ship designs even though the game is set at a later date, cant beat the grandeur of older ship design

[fleet condor]

yea yea. Thats my consensus. Id love to see some form of Barque Longue or Corvette from the late 1600s to early 1700s. before the more modern brig sloop and light frigate

[visual jetty]

#1353508894173040660 we need 10,000 upvotes

[fleet condor]

alr lol

I also draw other pirate art, such as my pfp

[visual jetty]

the frigate model ingame looks to be later american, though their first rate is based off the Royal William which is an earlier 1700's design

[fleet condor]

I saw this on the reddit!

[visual jetty]

good on them not modelling the figurehead it looks like a chore

[fleet condor]

other pirate art ive created recently. Ive been trying out a pencil sketch sort of art style. reminiscent of older illustrations like the ones Ive seen of Double Shallops or Barks, and things of th e like. Intended to be in-character drawings of my persona character.

the spoilered one has a shark that was hung by the maw over the sand

and the in character self portrait Im currently using as my pfp

[summer sand]

can be good to have 1600 boat sure !

[visual jetty]

That's one chubby fluyt

[fleet condor]

its not necessarily a fluyt. but it is a lil chubby yeah

[visual jetty]

I only draw side profiles of ships I'm beyond lazy

[fleet condor]

the character the boat belongs to is a Filibustier. His ship is a small pinched stern boat called a pink.

[fleet condor]

oooooo pretty!

ive learned that drawing other angles of boats is sort of the same as drawing the side view? but you have to replicate the part where youd see from the viewing angle. which is kinda weird to explain

also still have yet to figure out how to draw figure heads

[visual jetty]

I drew this today which was my first attempt at a front view, angles are just rough with my shading style I mess it up usually

"Shading style" (chicken scratch)

[fleet condor]

I really like the early sea of thieves concept arts for figureheads. I sort of want to be able to recreate this sort of art style because I really like it.

[fleet condor]

I really like it! I like the shading a lot, and the details on the sails

[visual jetty]

Theres only a few SoT figureheads I'm into, my favorites are a few from AC4 and the Silent Mary's

[fleet condor]

thats fair. I like the outright cartoony style of the ones in sea of thieves because the game is near and dear to my heart. but I mostly prefer the older stuff.

I do like realistic figureheads though, theyre pretty cool

[visual jetty]

A lot of the jackdaws figureheads are just strapped on and I dig it, the silent mary's is just sick

[fleet condor]

Im personawlly not a fan of the Jack Daw generally, but I can appreciate its figureheads

[visual jetty]

The jackdaw itself is weird

40+ gun brig

[fleet condor]

its a double decker ketch rigged 'brig' with mortars

but I get the emotional attachement

[visual jetty]

I dig the morrigans look more, without the ram but it still suffers the same weird design choices

[fleet condor]

yea

[tough bluff]

I dig the ship design in AC4 and Rogue. Yes they were dumbed down significantly for players especially having the top deck double as a gun deck on such small vessels. BUT the designs were meant to be unique and I still think they’re gorgeous.

[wooden dawn]

Morrigan > Jackdaw

Skylight supremacy

[sour estuary]

The beak and the stern of the morrigan is so damn ugly imo

[tough bluff]

I like the stern, but I agree the entire prow looks awful. especially the giant unnecessary ice ram.

close it?

[summer sand]

yeah

[visual jetty]

not sure what you mean

[coarse aspen]

will it float

[summer sand]

close like that ?

dont know in english whats the name of that boarding hull ?

[visual jetty]

I'll just use the verts from the ribs to form the hull, I kept them all in line so they could form the hull better once I got them done

Lets go !

[paper dune]

New ESO home, can't possibly take enough screenshots to show the place in it's entirety and yes I know it's going to not look like a accurate pirate ship but I still think I did a good job decorating the interior.

Oh here's one last one to show off the NPC's that have pathing set up gathering by the table

[topaz widget]

I didn’t realize you could own housing on ESO. I’m assuming it’s instances housing?

[paper dune]

Yee

And yeah housing has been a thing for a long time, the ship home is only a few years old at most though

[spare raven]

I miss ESO. I loved it on launch, then they did the first big update with Veteran ranks and kinda ruined it. I tried going back a couple years ago but it didn't feel the same

[paper dune]

Oh you mean how they swaped vet ranks for champion levels?

[azure smelt]

eso is just so confusing, i wanna try to get back int oit but idk what expansions i have to buy

[glad trail]

I love it, let's keep Ai trash out and have artists be what's here

[old abyss]

For me ot will be amazing to have different options for the look of the character we create. Like many different styles of hair and facial hair. Also it will be good to have bandanas and slots for pistols like the slots that the Blackbeard ones from assassin's creed black flag

[visual jetty]

Some reposts from a bit back but theres been a few thousand more members here so felt like I could share again

[visual jetty]

https://tenor.com/view/agreed-pirates-of-the-carribean-gif-15127372

[old abyss]

Also for me it will be amazing if the game has options for rings, earrings and many accessories for the head and arms. Another thing it will be good if we have an option to equip bandanas like on the head but also on the body like imagine captain jack sparrow

[old abyss]

And also for me it will be good if we have an option for bandages on the hands and feet.

[azure smelt]

Not mine but I love sharing dark souls stuff

[tropic wren]

what do you think about sea shanties? the ones they want to use in the game look like they're really mad while singing it lol, I would have liked something like this: https://youtu.be/CjZhtyEoB84?si=JGa2wlw9L88IFh59 or https://youtu.be/3_lu5l1gTL8?si=pRqZOE-faytTAUZf what do you guys think?

a special something I whipped up.

[visual jetty]

Shameless plug

[tough bluff]

Ok I am going to be completely honest. I have been trying (on and off) to find that piece of music for YEARS and never for the life of me could.

Would you be a dear and tell me what its name is?

[amber wraith]

Sounds very similar to pirates of the Caribbean theme. Might be an offshoot of it used later in the credits or something. Might try looking for pirates of the Caribbean them (extended) or something like that.

[ancient torrent]

https://www.epidemicsound.com/track/23GOb1WlU4/

[ancient torrent]

It does sound Pirate of the Caribbean. It's from an artist Phillip Ayers

[fast cave]

Hello, My name is Skelly jack and i LIVE for pirate stuffs. i'm a hobbyist artist and...

I build ships with legos, with my original designs. I fell in love with the ship models in your game. THEY ARE FANTASTIC.

[wicked ginkgo]

Would be interested in the possibility of writing songs, performing them in game, and making videos in this environment, like we do in Atlas, Conan, Valheim etc.:

https://youtu.be/AUvjQ8uDEAE?si=MgrsWXOmQ7PrDIHk

[shrewd magnet]

That would be freaking awesome

[paper dune]

Please don't ping the developers, they're busy enough with making the alpha run smoothly and getting people into the game to play

[near cave]

its about content creating. i try to get key from your other partner site`s who give keys for content creating. but still waiting. maybe you can help with this

[paper dune]

Unfortunately not, their content creator applications have closed and it looks like they're either still sifting through applications or they've finished and you unfortunately didn't get in, I sadly cannot say witch but your best bet is to apply for playtest in steam and enter the giveaways they do here in discord. Sorry.

[near cave]

okay thank you for answer

[paper dune]

You're welcome

[tough bluff]

Content creator apps are still open wdym

https://forms.gle/RHcbHXaWvrxNcojRA

I can fill one out rn no issues

[tough bluff]

Dw fill out the form. There will be a lot of backlog of applicants but the Devs will get around to yours in time

[near cave]

I got the key right now from keymailer thank you

[paper dune]

Man, old link is closed and others were saying it's closed and I didn't know who was right or wrong or where to find the new one, now I have the link my bad

i did this too

but never mind dont worry ty

the onhe I just pinged you with is the one from pins in content creators

[paper dune]

That's still a newer one than the old link, regardless my bad

[paper dune]

I appreciate the enthusiasm however creative channel is here to allow people to show off and share their works related to the game not a place for people to share their own gameplay and guides, if you don't mind removing it and refraining from posting stuff like this in creative in the future that would be greatly apricated.

[plush moat]

oh sorry about that ill remove it now, is there a channel where i can post this legally?

[paper dune]

#1352659456911212636 would be a more appropriate place if you'd like to post it there!

"I want to thank the creators and developers of this game for this little gem in the making. Having tested it, I truly think this is a wonderful alpha — full of surprises, I really didn’t expect that at all. I believe it’s a real success. I’ll keep sharing your game, helping others discover it, enjoy it, fall in love with it, and watch it grow through my streams. Thank you so much for the joy you're bringing us with this game — we’ve been waiting a long time for something like this. Keep going, don’t give up, stay strong — you have our full support. And really, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. If by any chance you happen to have one or two extra keys for tonight’s giveaway on my stream, that would be amazing. If not, thank you a thousand times for all your hard work."

[calm cedar]

Hello, I’m from Montenegro, from the Balkans. I was told to reach out here in order to get a key or whatever the process is to gain access to the game. I’ve been following it for a while and I’d really like to try it out, especially since I stream on YouTube. During the stream, I might also attract some people from the Balkans to check it out. I’m not a big streamer, but I have the passion and the desire to stream the game. ( or maybe i have to ask this somewhere else 🙂

[visual jetty]

Not pirate related, but a few fishing trawlers I've got in the works

Really adore this little thing

Imagine Glass/Wooden Eye Cosmetics that could be used as lanterns/torches with custom/themed patterns and custom light casting effects.

Free up that hand for duel wielding them swords, a shield, or that handy blunderbuss.

Ghost in the graveyard with custom flashlights anyone?

It would be awesome to see this feature in a game. Not to mention The #🦑│lore-zone fun the writers could have with it. Seeing a bunch of filthy pirates haggle over some pop out eyes would be hilarious.

[regal raptor]

Hello guys, just got access today and have a question probably best asked to the creatives- is there a way to move a crafting bench that has already been placed without destroying it?

[covert niche]

I just destroy it, it gives back most mats and replace it, I dont think there is a move though...

[regal raptor]

That is what I ended up doing. Some survival games have it where you could move a chest full of items so you don’t have to add them to inventory and what not. Thats what I was hoping for. No big deal tho, maybe it’ll come later.

[covert niche]

I would guess the devs would add (at some point) moving stuff about as most of these games do in one shape or form :p

[dusky seal]

would be nice especially with a building & Sea travelling game 🙂

[paper dune]

building da house

i'd like sunset better but it is what it is, guess we aint gonna sleep

[inner kelp]

Obviously still WIP but I love how harmonic the buildings are even with just the basics

In other games you'd need tons of decorations to make it look less sterile but here it happens by itself.

[grizzled robin]

yes i agree

the building system is already top notch

it just needs a modify postion button, like for the height, don't know how to say it lol

[inner kelp]

Would be great to pick up and move stuff instead of deleting and rebuilding them.
In games like Satisfactory this might work well as the ressources fly back to the builder but here you gotta collect that stuff by hand which miiiiight become annoying on roofs 😂
But in games like this this would not be that easy to implement as the static seems to be calculated the moment you build something and moving stuff around might not work with it.

[grizzled robin]

moving stuff around should be a base option tho

[spice garden]

Le sanglier a droite est notre compagnon 🥰 , Dure 5 minutes 😅 .

[sharp wagon]

I'm honestly hoping for an ability to replace with a higher tier. Like I wanted to change reed walls to wood and timber and destroyed sent all my shelves and wall decos

[grizzled robin]

and also would be nice first person view in building mode

do you guys know what's the meaning of the concentric circles of the bonfire?

[inner kelp]

After building the roof I wish there was a free movement builder mode. It is really a hassle to build a roof from underneath.

In Grounded (Survival Game, Kids got shrunk and have to survive in a garden while being the size of insects) you could get a fly in creative mode, with a cute little construction helmet, and while building you could switch to the fly which was able to move in the third dimension to build stuff.

I'd like a construction parrot, maybe even as recruitable companion locked behind a quest line for stuff like this 😂

[grizzled robin]

oh yeah a camera mode would be awesome! and if made like a parrot thingy even more! i'm gonna play grounded 2 btw 😄

[inner kelp]

Well, the most outer line is the build radius. I guess the lines in between are there for orientation so you can guess how far you can build in a direction.

For my building I had to move the bonfire multiple times until I got is centered.

[inner kelp]

I guess I have to give Grounded 2 a pass. The insects and their armors and weapons became to realistic and that ... well ... bugs me out. (pun intended)

Seriously, I am an arachnophobe and I kinda used that game to try to overcome this. (The arachnophobe mode is kinda more scary than the normal spiders) but the detailed insects in Grounded 2 are ... urgh ... disgusting and just too much for me.

[paper dune]

[warm sand]

So is there more to do in the other 2,3 island compared to first one

[light perch]

It seems enemies target me over @restive geode, and the only thing we can think of is because my character has a bigger butt, so I hold threat by shaking my booty at the enemy while he chops them down.

Devs should usually expect 10-20% of keys to be used during a playtest, so their numbers are pretty close to the average.

I have a question when building a base is there a build limit for the number of assets within one campsite as I am trying to build however I can't add anymore structures or decorations but I can build crafting benches and upgrades

[honest python]

there might be. I haven't reached any kind of build limit or anything and some of the bases I've seen online are massive. If you are running into a building issue, try the destroy/rebuild your bonfire thing to see if that fixes it

So quick question, am I allowed to share artworks ?

I read the name of this channel creative so I'm assuming I can xD ?

Or wait nvm it says I can share artworks

So I'm working on a comic that has a lot of pirate and Lovecraftian themes and I want to know what like minded people think of my work or the designs in general

its all still early work but I don't mind sharing

https://youtu.be/PmkTb0Ej3FM?si=b-LHMm4jze_bKsBu

[runic granite]

In the process of building a flintlock pistol. Going for a "piratey" look. Got the mechanism working good, time to start shaping the stock.

[tough bluff]

That is awesome!

[azure garden]

is that... like a functioning flintlock or is this just a prop?

[sour estuary]

Mechanism seems in theory functional

[azure garden]

ok cool cool, was just gonna say id be careful making your own black powder pistol lol, they have a tendancy to explode in ones hand

[runic granite]

Fully functional. I got it reliably sparking into the flash pan, too.

[azure garden]

Oh boy… careful there bud. Looks good but can’t be having ya missing some fingers in the coming days

[runic granite]

Haha, It's from a kit that someone else bought, screwed up the stock, lost some parts (which I am fabricating), and allowed to rust a little. Inside the barrel is in good shape and being a commercially made, over-built barrel, I'm confident it will work fine. Also have a buddy who's been building black powder rifles for decades advising me. Thanks though. 🌝

[azure garden]

Oh ok good good, was worried for a moment this was some backyard shenanigans lol

[quaint cedar]

I'll warn you right now that thing is gonna kick like a mule once the main powder charge ignites.

[azure garden]

Well… it’s a slow burn so shouldn’t be too bad. Should be like a firm shove

[runic granite]

Yes, BP is not as snappy or powerful as modern smokeless.

[quaint cedar]

Yeah it takes 3 seconds to burn into the main charge but when that main charge lights it kicks because of the pressure. Plus it kicks in two directions, not just one because of the escaping gas from the lighting mechanism.

[runic granite]

Don't know where you're getting that info. I just went shooting my buddies flintlock rifle this passed weekend. While it is comparatively slow, it's not 3 seconds slow. Half a second delay was probably the longest delay between trigger pull and detonation. It's just enough delay that you have to suppress the urge to move right away after feeling the hammer drop or your shot will be off. There is no noticeable sideways kick from gas escaping through the touch-hole.

[quaint cedar]

Rifle is much heavier than a pistol. The pistol probably will nudge sideways some.

[runic granite]

Taking shape...

[quaint cedar]

Oooo, that looks much better than when it was blocky.

[azure garden]

That smoothed out nicely

[snow summit]

I'd use this on someone who was cursed by aztec gold

[runic granite]

I've further shaped the stock, trying to get it even less blocky. Also secured the barrel by drilling and tapping the under barrel tab and putting a screw through it. Here's the latest pic:

I'm going to to test fire it soon and see how things hold together before refining anymore. It's mechanically sound; I will be creating a spot for the ramrod next and from there on out, it will be mostly cosmetic work.

[azure garden]

Niiice

Stay safe tho my man

[runic granite]

[runic granite]

I did a successful test firing with a sqib charge. Worked flawlessly first try. Very happy with the results.

[limber fog]

@paper dune

[azure garden]

hell yeah

[oblique patrol]

Do you know what kit they used?

I've always been interested in creating my own flintlock and a pre designed kit seems like a great way to get into it

[runic granite]

It's from Jukar, Spain. Not sure if that's the company name or the town, or both. I wouldn't seek them out though. They did some screwy stuff with the touch hole that I am having to fix. I would look at Traditions for the budget conscious. There are higher quality kits, but for a starter tge price is hard to beat.

[oblique patrol]

Does Traditions have their own website?

[runic granite]

https://www.traditionsfirearms.com/category/Muzzleloaders

Just google "traditions flintlock pistol kit" or something. They sell in many outlets and sporting goods stores.

[oblique patrol]

thanks a ton!

[round shoal]

Here's a sneak peek of my project that I plan to build in Crosswind. I am aware that it will take some time, but it will be worth it. The port town is heavily inspired by the city of Piran on the Slovenian coast and Croatian island, and the city of Hvar with its pirate-like atmosphere.
I am eagerly anticipating the release of the game; it is definitely the most anticipated game for me.🇸🇮

[peak aspen]

It would be so cool if you could actually have ai citizens in the city you build

[paper dune]

Boy do I have news for you

[peak aspen]

Lmao you can? Thats actually sick. Thought i already saw something like it in the latest video. Would make your bases/cities feel so much more alive

[paper dune]

Yeah, those guys can roam, they don't always just sit at their station

[sour estuary]

No, they also walk behind you and then stand akwardly in a doorframe so you can't get out

[paper dune]

Sounds like they just didn't like the homes you gave them

[sour estuary]

Now that's just rude

[frozen wagon]

Maybe add some curtains? Remove the door?

[runic granite]

Hear me out... torsion powered impalement devices

Anyhow: fired the flintlock this past weekend, and while the main charge ignited... it fizzled out through the touch hole and we had to use a ball puller to remove the lead ball. It turns out the factory drilled touch hole was too large. I measured it and it was almost twice as big around as it should have been. I welded it shut, down a few mm and redrilled with a 1/16 bit, which is what's generally recommended for flinters. Going to go back to the range this weekend hopefully to try again. 🤞

[jovial relic]

Can I be the town drunk

[runic granite]

Made the ramrod today, and oiled the black walnut. I love the look of that combination.

[willow wyvern]

We have this pirate store down near us, half tempted to pick up a few costumes and props jsut for the fun of it lol

[willow wyvern]

I'd love to see this in scale in the game. Even better if we could attract NPC's to populate it

[round shoal]

The port town will be built at a 1:1 scale, though it won’t look exactly like the sketch. Please keep in mind that what I shared is just a rough draft, not a detailed drawing — creating one would take me about a month. I plan to finish building it within a year and will share progress updates here on discord. Maybe we could populate the town with real players on a server, bringing it to life once it’s built.

[paper dune]

In all honesty, I've gotten items for the wiki and just no free time to add them but I know I was waiting on quests and now Tortuga give how much of it will likely change before EA

[rigid moon]

It's the manual work that I want to avoid in the long run I guess, hence the automation part of it all 😄

[paper dune]

Fair. There's just no easy way to do that with wiki.gg but it's still worth it for the amount of people that look for the domain name when searching for a games wiki

[oak turret]

Nice work on the wood finishing, I'd try on some wax tho. Are the barrel and lock from a Traditions kit?

[runic granite]

From a company called Jukar. Either that, or it's made in the city of Jukar and no company name. But yeah from an incomplete kit someone sold me for cheap, since it was missing parts and a few things were messed up.

It's pretty much done, now. Waiting for my flash pan powder to arrive so I can shoot it.

[oak turret]

Blessed, maybe knap another flint since that one looks a bit short. Are you shooting Swiss or Pyro?

[runic granite]

@oak turret I have a spare flint. Using 777, and goex nullB for flash.

Unfortunately, the flint cant be any longer or it will hold the frizzen slightly open. It still sparks quite well right now as it is, and can still nap the edge a little bit to resharpen.

[oak turret]

I'll be damned, she's a sparker

Wdym? What type of editing?

[wanton radish]

manual photo editing with photoshop i suppose? recognising several techniques and filters

[fickle jungle]

The term is "Photo Manipulation" refers to the process of creating a new image using separate parts. The end result is a dynamic and realistic image. To sum up, each thing was either taken from Google or from here on Discord.

[wanton radish]

☝️🤓 Photomontage or rather composition/collage would be more fitting. "Photo Manipulation" generally refers to transforming or altering image using various techniques (could be both digital or manual) to achieve desired effect.
But yeah, making collage could practically be one of the techniques..

[shrewd magnet]

Is it automatically removed? @rigid moon

Oh I see automatically removed.

[rigid moon]

aww

[shrewd magnet]

Try again without linking the website @rigid moon

[paper dune]

Will your DB automatically update when the game comes out or something? Like what if all the recipes and upgrades and stuff completely change to fit new balancing in the gameplay?

[rigid moon]

If the internal formatting doesn't change, yes. Otherwise I will need to overhaul the way stuff gets imported, which shouldn't be too much of a problem (I hope)

[paper dune]

What do you mean by internal formatting? Like the names and descriptions in the actual code of the game? If so I can safely say it's definitely going to change a bit

[rigid moon]

By "internal formatting" I mean how the game stores its data. Like if a recipe currently has fields called "ingredients" and "result", but they change it to "materials_needed" and "output_item" or restructure how the data is organized.

If they reorganize how they structure the data itself in the game files, I'll need to update my import scripts to match the new structure. Usually not a huge deal, more like adjusting a translator than rebuilding from scratch. As long as the core concepts stay similar (items have names, stats, icons, etc.), it's manageable.

[paper dune]

Then yeah, not all but some things might still change

[paper dune]

What's with the weird crop job?

[low silo]

For me, it's the left arm

Anyone else looking to build a proper fort once they get the game? I'm not talking a western pallisade fort, but a proper stone star fort. 😄

[rancid laurel]

Yeah! I'm hoping to build a big ol' pirate town for a fortress.

[remote vector]

Castillo de San Marcos in St Augustine, Florida is an excellent example of a stone masonry smaller star fort of the era.

[rancid laurel]

I wasn't expecting it to actually look like a star. But I suppose it's called a STAR fort for a reason.

[remote vector]

Haha, yes, they are.

One of the bigger advantages forts had against ships was that they often had a shot furnace.

An oven where cannonballs could be heated until they glowed red-hot and then rammed down the cannon and fired at wooden ships - often causing devastating fires.

[rancid laurel]

That sounds metal af.

I wonder if they also used the shot furnace to bake cookies?

[remote vector]

Here's the furnae from San Marckos.

When the Danes and Norwegians sailed up to New Älvsborg outside Göteborg 1719 to bombard the fort to submission, it took 4 days of bombardment before a Swedish colonel managed to bring a couple of cannons and mortars from Göteborg to flank the Danish line with heated shot. The Danes buggered off right proper quick at that.

[rancid laurel]

Hehe. The furnace looks like it has a face on it.

[remote vector]

New Älvsborg.

[remote vector]

Yeah. Looks like it is saying "must you feed me cannonballs? I would mch rather have icecream. It is hot!"

[rancid laurel]

That reminds me. I really want ice cream.

[rancid laurel]

Looks cozy. Put some black banners on it, and it'd make a perfect little pirate cove.

[remote vector]

It was. Or at least a privateer cove.

One of the reasons it was attacked was that Swedish privateers based in Göteborg was doing a number on vital Danish and Norwegian shipping.

Should you ever be in Helsinki, you can dine well in Suomenlinna/Sveaborg, a later Star Fortress built during the time when Sweden ruled Finland.
I've been there, and the food ius very good.

[rancid laurel]

Do they serve rum barrels?

Food isn't complete without rum barrels.

They did have a version of grog when I visited about 15 years ago.

[rancid laurel]

Yessssssssssssssssssss.

Must have all the rum.

[remote vector]

Fun fact: Modern rum is made from leftover molasses. Original rum was made from juice from pressed sugarcane.

[rancid laurel]

I was not aware of that.

But now I know where rum comes from. And I can now make my ownnnnnnnn!

Probably not.

[remote vector]

I'm in a country where distilling at home is illegal. 🙁

You can ferment, but not distill.

[rancid laurel]

I have no idea how to rum, so I'll probably just buy it.

[remote vector]

Distillation is not hard. Making sure you don't get any poistion in it when you do it is the hard part.

It's getting late, I need ot head off to bed. Nice talk.

[rancid laurel]

Goodnight, and sleep of gold and plundah!

[rancid laurel]

Made a jolly roger of me own. I wonder if we'll be able to import custom flags directly into the game?

[paper dune]

Probably not, at least not right away

[rancid laurel]

Ah well. Hopefully it'll be a thing at some point. I've got an entire folder full of flags.

[hard ocean]

Reminds me of the Robo Pirates logo from Rayman 2🏴‍☠️

[rancid laurel]

Wow, I never even noticed.

Now I feel somewhat unoriginal.

Kinda...

[tall stag]

I've tried making flags of my own, but I always go back to Emanuel Wynn's flag. It's just too goated.

[rancid laurel]

I mean... I cannot argue with that.

Still though, would be nice to just put the PNG into a file and have it show up in the game like you could do in Kerbal Space Program.

[tall stag]

Agreed but that could get outta hand pretty fast. They'll probably just have preset symbols you can use to create your own ( if they implement custom flags )

[rancid laurel]

Perhaps flag importing could be a singleplayer-only feature?

But hey, custom flags will make me a happy man either way.

Yeah museum piece creations are way more intricate than a model kit unless you want to spend 1k or more for one similar

[remote vector]

In 1790, the Swedish archipelago navy managed to score a major victory against Russia, destroyng some 50-80 ships, killing and wounding 4000 and capturing 6000. Sweden lost 6 ships and 171 dead and 500 wounded.

[atomic juniper]

for instance this kit costs around £1,620 << the famous HMS Victory

[remote vector]

Wonderful kit!

[atomic juniper]

xD thats my new GPU price

[remote vector]

Eh, I spend way, way too much on collecting uniforms. If I had the time and inclination, I would start to build models again (did as a kid). Money would not be a problem.

[atomic juniper]

I would advise if you ever were interested in building a ship aka a wooden one to not splash money on a big one or expert level its a huge learning curve than building plastic models

[remote vector]

The Swedish archipelago navy managed to trick the Russian archipelago navy to sail into a trap, where they were attacked from three sides, they also sent reserves to attack them from behind. The result was devastating.

[remote vector]

Yeah, I imagine. Thanks for the advice!
