Ahoy Captain's!Before we get into the details about the new upcoming update for Hullbreaker, I’d just like to take a moment to apologize for the delay in releasing the AI/PvE update. Implementing a smart and challenging AI has taken much longer than I initially anticipated. On top of that, I haven’t been able to dedicate full-time hours to Hullbreaker as planned, which slowed things down more than I would have liked.However, rest assured — the AI update is coming, and you can expect it to launch in just a couple of months. I’m really excited about how it’s shaping up and will be sharing more details soon.Before the AI update there will be a smaller update containing these features! I plan to release this update very soon Skeleton Captain'sPlayers will now take the helm as a fierce Pirate Skeleton Captain, reawakened from the depths to command their ship once more.

Ahoy all! The demo is now available to play! Any feedback or bug reporting regarding the demo can be done in the community hub discussions or Hullbreaker's discord server.
