Our first ship, based on the lines of His Majesty's Brig Speedy. You can read this month's journal in full, including some new screenshots here: https://ahoy.gg/journal/journal-5/ The two videos are available on YouTube **AHOY Showcase | "Veloce" (HMS Speedy)** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNOJZ4s43zQ **AHOY Showcase | Port Royal, Jamaica** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yC93a7n88SQ ------------------------------------------------------------------ Fun fact about Veloce / Speedy We should be referring to Speedy as "HM Brig Speedy" and not HMS Speedy. HMS wasn't in use during Ahoy's time, and as a brig HMB is more appropriate anyway :) For the purpose of exposure and due to the general knowledge surrounding the ship, we've decided to refer to her as HMS Speedy for the purpose of this video. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Steam Page Update We've also uploaded the two videos to our Steam page. Please consider wishlisting Ahoy on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1787230/Ahoy/ Support us on Patreon! And finally, we'd like to take a moment to highlight our Patreon page. You can get our journal updates a week early among other rewards by supporting the project via Patreon. https://patreon.com/ahoygameNEW AHOY WEBSITEApr 3, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsAhoy! It's with pleasure that we announce the launch of the new Ahoy website. The new website provides many new ways to learn about and support the project, and we hope to expand the website further in the future as the development of Ahoy progresses. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41346724/140ef1735e8f852c12338eee5275c0494dac01ee.png Whats New? FAQ The main thing I want to draw attention to is the reworked FAQ. This is now the best place to get answers about the project, and it is possible to share these FAQ questions with people by clicking the 'copy to clipboard' button on each question, making it a lot easier to share existing knowledge about the project. The FAQ Is broken down into several areas covering different aspects of the game (Both planned Arena and the Persistent World releases), the release and DLC policies, how donations work, and so on. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41346724/a589d5fc706cec29e89adbf7254f9b6af16bc0ce.png Contributions Website/PayPal based donation is now live. Contribution via the website, rather than Patreon, provides the project with more of the funds you donate. Patreon takes a pretty large 8% of your donation, while PayPal only charges transaction fees. Additionally, this introduces the "Lifetime Platinum" donation tier. It's much like Platinum on Patreon, except once someone has donated over £400 GBP via the website/PayPal (489 USD / 453 EUR), they receive the benefits of Platinum for the duration of the time we're running the donation scheme. It's intention is to reward those who choose to make larger contributions, or have contributed towards the project over a significant amount of time. The progress to Lifetime Platinum can be seen on your account page, where a total of your contributions is shown, along with a contribution history. This is also where you can get information about donations if you need to contact us (hover over a historic donation entry to see it's "Donation ID" (next to the date!) so that we can help you with it more directly. We have an FAQ section dedicated to donations here: https://ahoy.gg/faq#faq-0 Please contact us immediately via email ([email protected]) if you have any issues here as it's not been possible to test this privately with a significant number of users yet. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41346724/e3baa1fce04fec1dbc4127c21d76e5dea8f50346.png Account Page & Discord Verification As mentioned above, the account page is now introduced. You can view your account details here, but most importantly you can see your contribution history as well as link your Discord account. Linking your discord account is necessary for your contribution badges to appear here in Discord. However, even if you don't contribute, you'll get a nice little "verified" badge next to your name anyway. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41346724/8f3cca4e0469e9f91c5cac1e74a5d12dda5a1a53.png Notice Please be aware that the website may be taken down at any moment if any significant issues are detected. This has been an enormous undertaking for me, and I am not...
