It’s just over two weeks until launch! Today's update covers some functions which you’ve been asking us for:

TUTORIAL

Even seasoned zailors will find helpful tips in the new tutorial system!

It’s really important that this is as useful as possible; please consider sending feedback to sunlesssea@failbettergames.com if you spot something confusing.

KEYBINDING

Not everyone wants to zail WSADly. Re-bind the game controls to keys of your choice from Options in the menu.
