Good evening folks,

I've been building Tidefall, a browser-based maritime MMO, and after a pretty substantial overhaul to the desktop UI I thought it was a good time to share where the game is at. So, what are we actually trying to build?

Our ambition is to bring EVE Online into the Age of Sail through a persistent, real-time, top-down browser MMO that blends active play with meaningful idle progression. You begin as a lone captain with a single ship, then build towards a fleet and expand your influence across a handcrafted ocean world through gathering, trade, exploration, shipbuilding and naval combat.

Active and idle players share the same interconnected world and economy. One captain might mine ore while idle, while another actively hauls it across dangerous waters for profit, trades it between regions or turns it into ships and weapons. Each playstyle supports the other, whether you prefer focused sessions, passive progression or a mix of both.

As Tidefall grows, ships, cargo and equipment will carry increasingly meaningful value and risk. Certain waters will open to PvP, allowing captains to choose when to enter higher-stakes regions where vessels and cargo may be permanently lost. Preparation, logistics and every decision at sea will matter. Build a merchant empire, become a feared pirate, control key trade routes, dominate through guild warfare or simply explore a world that continues to expand around you.

Join us early and help shape what comes next.

Feedback requested

I'm particularly interested in feedback on a few things:

• How does the new desktop UI feel? Is anything confusing, awkward or difficult to find?
• Does the overall concept sound like a game you'd actually want to play?
• And most importantly, is it fun? If something isn't clicking yet, what would you change or improve?

Still a work in progress but I’m just loving the process of figuring out how to do all this! I’m using a 3D printer for most things such as the hull and the cannons but I modeled it all myself in blender! It’s about a foot and a half long.

I’d love some ideas on how to get a stained glass look for windows (it’s not exactly the most historically accurate but I just think it would look nice)

The Central Florida Sea Shanty Club is holding a sea shanty night the VFW post 8002:

9398 US Hwy 98 N, Lakeland, FL 33809

(They've been kind enough to host us, for some time!)

ALL are welcome to join and garb is welcomed, encouraged, but NOT required! Myself and fellow shanty-people will help lead songs starting at 17:00, but anyone can lead, if they so choose.

Drinks (alcoholic and non) are cheap and so is the food! The crowd is welcoming of all and we try to make it a good time for everyone involved.

We have shanty sheets available to help sing/follow along and we also throw in a few shanty adjacent songs (period folk songs, rattlin' bog, etc)!

The event lasts for roughly 3 hours, or until everyone's vocal cords are shot!

Hope to see you there!

Watch till the end.

Mateys, tell me your favorite LEGO Pirates memory in the comments.
