Favorite thing to do: you can become a human flesh mercant, set sail with a full crew and little food. Wait until the starvation event comes up, choose the cannibal option that gives you 3 extra food, then go back to rown and sell the food. It serves no purpose and you can't really make profit, but it's hilarious
Great episode Splatt, keep it up. I would love to see more of this game. A little bit of trivia from this side of the pond. We have only had one more King George since then, who was the father of our current Queen. However third in line to the throne at the moment is Prince George who will be King George the VI.
I've spent years looking for an open world whaling simulator. I'm not even joking. Also, I love all the little homages to Moby Dick, like the default name being Ishmael and the sloop being named the Melville.
For a second when you introduced the game, I thought you meant it was a "wailing" simulator. I pictured commanding people to stand in the streets crying into the air.
Don't Sink might be a sun little pirate game to check out. 2D side scroller where you can build/attack ports, travel around, fight other ships at sea and encounter various random little quests and other events. Just don't try to board enemy ships or let them board you, jackscepticeye got into an endless bug in that minigame. I just know you love indie games and pirate games so figured it was right up your alley. Still early access so not a lot of content yet but easily enough for a first impressions or the like. Have fun~
There once was a game called Nantucket, It inspired poems by the bucket, While they had some good rhymes, That changed every time, They'd always end up with the words 'fuck it.'
There once was a man from Nantucket / Who kept all his gold in a bucket / His daughter named Nan / Ran off with a Man / And as for the bucket / Nan took it
My first playthrough i got 3 years in and died from my ship consistently taking damage. The playthrough i am in now, doing really good, many stacked bodies of whales. Its a addicting game, once you get rolling and upgrade to a new faster ship. Splat do another video, i want to see how you fare. With love.
There was an old man of Madras / Whose balls were made of fine brass. / So in stormy weather / They both clanged together / And sparks flew out of his arse. still one of my favorite limericks
Hey Splattercat I would really like to see another play through of The Forest. They have added a lot of cool stuff since your last LP and survival indie games are like your thing :) love your work
23:12 How the hell do you even remember, that your new sailor's skills are on the bottom half, now that you hired him, but look for his skills on top, where the other sailor is displayed now? Did you not get a ping of doubt at all?
splattercat to let you know that when you fire a crew member you lose prestige so don't be firing crew members too often as it will make getting more/better crew members harder
Dont mind me im just looking for games for splat to cover: First Feudal. People compare this to Rimworld. Aground on itch is cool, might wanna check it out.
*Not salty enough* - the forecastle is pronounced "folks - ull" (emphasis on the first syllable; the second syllable is really just pronouncing the double "LL"s ). It's like the gunwale of a boat is pronounce "gun - ll" The "folks-ll" is where the anchor is handled and is actually only called a "folks-ll" if it's below/under the main deck. On the boat you have in this video it would be called the "fore-peak" or " the pointy end of the boat" by new swabbies. I AM a professional sailor, a 100 ton master (licensed captain), and former Navy. The management portion of this game looks intriguing, but it's a shame you don't actually sail the vessel. This is how sims were played on Commodore 64 because the computers couldn't handle the graphics animations. I'm not sure why someone would put out a game like this for today's PCs.
"I'm a salty sea dog!" Except you're pronouncing it incorrectly. The Ishmael and Melville. I caught those references. And the opening confirms Ishmael... guess you never read it?
We on the George VII but he is a prince at the moment but he is 3rd in line for the royal throne after he's grandfather and father but great grandmother is still a live and kicking but she does a ok job and the people love her
Whaling Simulator?! Isn't that the same bullshit PETA tried to poorly label Assassin Creed: Black Flag (You shouldn't be allowed hunt artificial/non-existing/computer generated whales)?
intresting game this should make a lot of people on the internet pissed about encouraging killing whales lol would like to see this become a full series
There are war simulator, heck most popular video games involved violence and yet you are triggered over a game about whaling in the early 1800, which is actually informative on both history and sailing. Get off your high horse you are not standing on higher morality ground, just pretentious.
So in the Europa Universalis series if you play as a European nation one of your goals is to colonize, rape, & pillage the new world. Are developers not allowed to make historical games where humans engaged in deplorable behavior? Not to mention in the 19th century ecology was a nascent science & humans as a whole legitimately did not possess the knowledge or foresight with regards to sustainable harvesting of sea life. For better or worse whaling drove a lot of the progress/industry of the 19th century & in game-form as least people can learn a little about this historically significant industry. And also - it's just a game!
The Bamboozler since he's an indie games channel, he plays many different games, some quite good and some not quite there yet. His commentary is what makes me stay interested during both

Lose your mind. Eat your crew.
There once was a game called Nantucket
On Steam for big 18 ducats.
While that's quite a lot
More often than not
I'm bored so I just say 'fuck it'.
I got nothin. Usually better at improvised haikus.
this looks like a good game more plz
Great episode Splatt, keep it up. I would love to see more of this game.

Really specific... Scarily specific....
The character actually is Ishmael, so it makes sense.
It's supposed to be. The idea of the game is that you're playing as the actual Ishmael from Moby Dick, the only guy who survived when the Pequod sank
That was way more entertaining of a game than first assumed. Your commentary is great as always :)
Thank you for covering this game Splat, was really hoping for it!!
For a second when you introduced the game, I thought you meant it was a "wailing" simulator. I pictured commanding people to stand in the streets crying into the air.
Joe Wilson ohhhh I see what you did there you cheeky genius
There's a free to play one of those already out. It's called Twitter.

Wow this game is totally a surprise. Definitely adding to my list. Thanks for showcasing!
King George VI was the last one, Elizabeth II's father, died in 1952

That's actually nice. the Whaling thing makes the whole "ship simulator" way more interesting than the standard trade sim

Caigul reminds me of that one boss from Conker's bad fur-day,
its from leprechaun 3 i think
Apparently sailing from Massachussets to greenland only takes 25 days on sailboat of all things.
Interesting game so far Splatt. If your going to hunt Narwhal's get a scientist with a bandage trait that makes you immune to bleeding damage.
"Call me Flabbergab."
Hell yesss!! Glad you're covering this Splatt and couldn't have came at a better moment >:D
🎶Whiskey for my Splatty-O!!🎶
Apparently when you fire someone it lowers your prestige.
Hey Splattercat I would really like to see another play through of The Forest. They have added a lot of cool stuff since your last LP and survival indie games are like your thing :) love your work
Excellent thanks Splatt
I have to questions:Can you go to Stormalong harbor, and can you fing Candy island?
we're sailors on the moon...we carry a harpoon...but there are no whales so we tell tall tales and sing our whaling tune
Im tempted to play the game to Jan 1st, 2018 to see if it accurately does time, or if we're stuck in limbo.
Yup. Love this game. Thanks!
Hehe. "I'm a salty seadog" he says, as he conspicuously avoids the checkbox for Seadog (presumably a more difficult mode?)
Hey splat, do you have the settings for your mic set to lower other sounds while you talk? it sounds like you do.
23:12
How the hell do you even remember, that your new sailor's skills are on the bottom half, now that you hired him, but look for his skills on top, where the other sailor is displayed now?
Did you not get a ping of doubt at all?
I don't think they have a bunch of Georges lined up. The last one was George VI.
splattercat to let you know that when you fire a crew member you lose prestige so don't be firing crew members too often as it will make getting more/better crew members harder
This game looks cool. I would lile to see more on the channel.
Like*
Reminds me of Uncharted Waters: New Horizons, a game I used to play on my SNES circa 1995...
Great series
Dont mind me im just looking for games for splat to cover: First Feudal. People compare this to Rimworld. Aground on itch is cool, might wanna check it out.
More of this please?
I am surprised some Greenpeace types are not complaining about the game.
I saw this pop up on steam today and headed over here to ask if you know about it... Two videos up already...
"You can't go too far right now" Me: But you can still go to the other side of Africa! Not too far he says. XD
this is happiness
More!!!! Let's go
I'M FROM NANTUCKET!! YEAAHHHHH, actually Moby Dick is my favorite novell❤❤❤
Is there a Mac version?
*Not salty enough* - the forecastle is pronounced "folks - ull" (emphasis on the first syllable; the second syllable is really just pronouncing the double "LL"s ).

You should do a lets play !
When I first read the title I thought it said Nutshack I was so confused
Fun game, really enjoyed it
I want more
Your reputation doesn't apply to yourself, that is to say, if you have 4, you can have four other people.
Where’s fade to silence
Nah, I was born with Asperger's. It's pretty great for me, I love my life!
Also, me want many more episodes.
Was intresting I'd see more
there is no "I" in Horta
"I'm a salty sea dog!" Except you're pronouncing it incorrectly.
The Ishmael and Melville. I caught those references. And the opening confirms Ishmael... guess you never read it?
Oddly satisfying game.
They need to add a city in norway. We are incredibly good at wahiling.
It's pronounced folks sull. Trust me, it got beat into us in boot.
Is there another way of making money here besides whaling?
We on the George VII but he is a prince at the moment but he is 3rd in line for the royal throne after he's grandfather and father but great grandmother is still a live and kicking but she does a ok job and the people love her
More make this a series
Hell yea. This is a great game.
Who here remembers the tradewinds games
The first one was the best, the later ones got weird
Beautifully mashed up a NZ place name. Koro ra eka
Dam this looks nice
More please!!!!
Moby Dick! Is this game a biblical hermeneutic as well?--Google does not know the word hermeneutic, big surprise. Tell Peta, they are being hunted.
Ooo sail away on mah sloopy
Do more episodes
Whaling Simulator?! Isn't that the same bullshit PETA tried to poorly label Assassin Creed: Black Flag (You shouldn't be allowed hunt artificial/non-existing/computer generated whales)?
MORE!!!!!!!!!
The title of this game could be a rude nickname to someones nanny that would demand some explaination
intresting game this should make a lot of people on the internet pissed about encouraging killing whales lol would like to see this become a full series
I waiting to days you playing this game
Same! >:D
prince George would be George the 7th
do more
Forecastle is pronounced fo'c'sle, YARR!!!
Great. A game where you hunt beautiful creatures to extinction. I feel like donating to Greenpeace now. Thanks SCG
Extinction is the best
So sayeth a member of the human race during these troubled times
I mean it's just a game, it's not like not playing is gonna bring them all back. I like to think of it as a homage to whalenkind.

You butchered Eduardo's name >:(

this reminds me of tortuga
Comment and like for comments' and likes' sake.
It's pronounced Fock-sel / Fock'stle (Forecastle)
42
Forecastle is pronounced focs'l.
Good phone game.. PC, no thanks.
the sound especially the voices dont seem that impressive.. put nicely
You should watch what you say about Asperger's, Splat. You might offend someone.
+
You look the wrong trait for your new navigator !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Using "ye" wrongly. Nope, nope, nope.
Cash $999999??
NVM was loading screen. Was wondering where you got that kinda cheese from. ;-P
¿Open World? Its more like (Open Map) game. So boring to me.
Hey Splat you don't have to fill every second with talking my man.
You're new here, aren't you? ;)
The Bamboozler since he's an indie games channel, he plays many different games, some quite good and some not quite there yet. His commentary is what makes me stay interested during both
Ayyyyy, i'm first.
24:04 That joke was in very poor taste splatt. I know its the internet but you should be more respectful.
You are joking right? That joke was hella tame, Jesus man. Not to mention it was kinda funny, stop taking jokes so seriously.
No, I genuinely think its in poor taste to spread negative stereotypes about a group of real people on the internet.
I went to McDonald's and ordered 2 quarter-pounders and ended up with AssBurgers.
