Notes from the shipyard.

Release highlights, milestones and development updates from KittyDevil Studio. For every change in every build, see the Wildtide patch log.

Two days of Schooner polish

Boarding, camera, rain shelter, deck motion, more building room and shipboard item drops — a run of quick releases that followed the Schooner's launch.

Ship work you can trust

Fitting, repairing and removing ship parts now require being able to reach and see the actual part — checked by the server, every time.

Property care: keeping islands lived in

Abandoned bases on claimable islands now clear after a fortnight without their keepers, while Safe Waters camps weather away if they're not maintained.

The Modular Schooner sets sail

Wildtide's largest ship yet: a 19-metre, two-masted vessel of 26 fitted parts, with walkable main and lower decks you can build on.

Faster fleets

Sharing ship materials and geometry cut the rendering cost of every ship in view — so busy harbours run more smoothly.

Bows, stamina and survival

Persistent stamina, fall damage, a truer bow aim preview and stamina costs for every swing and shot.
