Pirate Twist enters Early Access
The wheel is yours. Pirate Twist puts out into Steam Early Access — the full core loop, the four-track combat, and the first campaign of expeditions. Early Access is where the community takes the helm: your runs, your feedback, and your wishlists steer what comes next. Wishlist on Steam to be aboard at launch.
Playtest · v0.2.1
The Scourge joins the fleet
A combined-arms elite that reads the fight and switches its hand mid-engagement — round shot, fire, or a ram straight into your hull. It shows up more often the deeper a campaign runs. Sharpen your positioning; this one punishes a lazy broadside.

Combat overhaul — choose your shot
Cannons reshaped from the keel up. Pick your ammo, read the wind, and pick your moment — a broadside isn't free, and neither is the reload. Rake a stern for the high-skill payoff, or ram bow-first and set up the point-blank return.
