Update 15 Preview: Welcome James Kelly

Added 2024-11-01 12:58:12 +0000 UTC

Hey everyone, since it is update day for those in the other tiers, i didn't want to let you sitting here empty handed. How about a little peek into another little thing that'll be coming with it, once it hits the public in another month?

So, the first time you load into into your save in update 15 you will be greeted with this window message:

Yep! You'll be asked to pick your last/family name! It's something I've had on my low-priority to-do list for moooonths and here we finally are.
So going forward we have an option for characters to actually address you formally. Primarily that'll be used by Arthur, who has been slinging somewhat awkward "recruit"s left, right and center. But other characters will also make use of it at times when the occasion calls for it.

So, that means our default James is now called James Kelly.
The name has been decided by a vote from the Navigator supporters, who had the pick from a couple that were references to some of the memoirs I'm using as first-hand sources for the life of low-level sailors at the time. In particular Samuel Kelly's: An eighteenth century Seaman.

So yeah! there you go. Another little sneak peek at what'll be added for the next update. :) I hope you had a great Halloween if you celebrated it, and that you have a good start into November! :D
