Didn't play this last dd, so my first impression is its really fun. could see myself spending a lot of time with this. I think more feedback would be good, I don't know what counts as a hit on an enemy, maybe some sound effects and splintering wood particles? Would also be good to have enemy ships fight eachother, I had a hard time starting out as without any upgrades it's very difficult to fight more than one ship without taking damage. Also, tiny nitpick, but assuming this is the golden age of piracy, then you want to use the pre-union with ireland british flag, the one without the red X, the one ingame wasn't used until 1801.

Gald you enjoyed the demo. In the original demo there was floating text telling you if a shot bounced or not but it broke and i haven't fixed it! also I wouldn't get to hung up on historical accuracy, as im planning on having ships well into the 19th century in the game.
also there is factional conflict in the game but it was disabled for this demo, but in the future french and british ships may be seen fighting eachother.
