Open source?

Hello! I was wondering if youd ever consider opening this up to external support somehow? Either forks or pull requests through github? or sharing the code privately? Totally understand if not, but its such a cool game and itd be fun and neat to be able to add features potentially.

Thanks for the interest. I'm not sure how I feel about the idea. Let me say that it's using Unity 4, which is pretty long in the tooth. The code was never very well-structured, and once I realized it wasn't going to be a complete game I stopped being careful where I put things. So it's a real mess now. 

Hello, sir or ma'am! I'm curious how you're feeling about this specific topic lately, maybe porting to Godot for open source friendliness? This is an absolute beast of a base. I'm sailing at night right now with Black Sails playing in the corner and ooooh I could just tinker with adding stuff to this game forever. 

+1 to open-sourcing this. Nobody cares how messy the code is. This project is super interesting and  could be a great learning resource for other people trying to do something similar.
