It is editing time, which means we are rewriting one sentence 7 times. Argh. Must brain better.
We finished a small bonus bit for the trade paperback, our editor read it and pronounced it good, so full speed ahead. As always, the bonus scene is a true bonus, so you don’t have to buy, but I would recommend reading it. It dovetails into Homecoming, which is Solentine’s short story.
The vacation is not in the cards this year, unless we escape after the edits in September, so I have to settle for a computer vacation instead.
Behold, scurvy dogs, Captain Miradora, the scourge of the Seven Seas. Well, actually, just Caribbean, but in theory the Seven Seas.
Windrose is a new survival game currently in early access on Steam and Epic Games, and it is a pirate adventure. Blackbeard somehow got a hold of some artifact, and now the islands are plagues by the undead pirates. You are the only force standing in his way, yeah!
You hunt feral pigs, you explore ruins, you fight pirates, you build your base, and you scour the sea on your awesome ship sinking Blackbeard’s ships. There are factions, quests, and lots of exploring. It is kind of like Conan Exiles but improved. There are actual quests and NPCs. And sailing! All the cool sailing!
My workshop. All the workbenches. The crafting in this game is very intuitive.
My base.
My glorious ship.
Of course, my husband, who clearly is a pirate at heart, is also playing and he is a lot further along than I am.
Here is Captain Nogusta, named after a character in Winter Warriors by David Gemmel.
As you can probably tell, we are having way too much fun with this. There is not too much there right now, only three zones, but we both really like running around and killing things so we can get resources and build just the right type of railing.
And now it’s your turn – what are you playing this summer?
