'Seablip', an indie open world pirate RPG, launches into Early Access

Scarlet · May 18, 2024

Saw this one pop up on Steam, reminds me a lot of Pixel Piracy. Maybe one to check out when it gets clear of Early Access for me.

Looks fun

Looks a bit barebones, but seems to have a decent base to improve upon. Still seems a bit lackluster compared to Pirates, Uncharted Waters (and I doubt it'll have enough of a story to compare it with Skies of Arcadia).

No Switch version? Meh...

I'M GOING TO BE KING OF THE SEABLIP!

I saw this game recommended a few times in a thread about Stardew Valley. I don't see many similarities aside from the obvious that they're both pixel games, but this trailer makes it obvious that the game has good bones (skull and crossbones) so hopefully it'll all be fleshed out soon enough.

Haha also wanted to mentioned it reminded me of Pixel Piracy that was a fun one.

I think I'll pass on this one but I do recommend Lorelei and the Laser Eyes available on PC and Switch.

Skies of Arcadia really could use a "HD" port for modern consoles or just a port if it is for Switch.

Early access.. The plague of modern games.. By the time it gets out of it nobody is gonna care about the game.

Same. Might as well check out an early access game in 3-5 years (if devs stick to it that long/actually fix it).

Uh oh, some competition for the upcoming Pixel Piracy mmo

Played this a bit. It's very similar to FTL, just pirate themed. Your pawns have stations in ship to ship combat, you direct them with the mouse. The basic metagame is choosing between crew damage and ship damage.

In addition to the core ship combat gameplay, the game has half hearted harvest moon features, as solo developers are wont to add. Visiting an island is very limited in gameplay terms: side scrolling, nearly one button. Essentially a Zelda 2 experience.

FTL is great because it's well honed and balanced. The core mechanics are fine, but a little gameplay wobbliness and FTL would be a much, much worse and frustrating game.

Seablip is just an alpha, it has gameplay wobbliness.

To work without a mouse (like on Switch) it would require significant overhaul. Like FTL, it's probably only really suitable for mouse or touchscreen. And this is a solo developer, so I doubt there will be a Switch version anytime soon.
