Tangled Wreckage

Added 2024-05-01 02:12:40 +0000 UTC

A cluster of ships sit dead in the water, derelict and swaying softly in the breeze. The waters are becalmed by the masses of seaweed clumped in thickets about the vessels and extending to the horizon. One must approach from a rowboat to avoid getting mired in its overgrowth. Flotsam and jetsam clump together to form a central mass about the ships, with empty barrels lashed to planks keeping the walkways around and between the vessels bouyant.

Ever since Limithron announced the upcoming Pirate Borg Cabin Fever Game Jam earlier this month, I have been excited to work some Dark Caribbean content into my release schedule. I created this map by using some of my previous ships as a base, roughing them up and relighting them, and editing them to fit the scene so I could build up a haphazard multilevel structure suitable for the skeletal crews of the damned. This map or one of its variants is likely to end up featured within my submission, Shanties of the Sargasso, which features the island of Bermuda as well as the new class, the ASH Dealer.

Check out some of the preview content I've been whipping up for Limithron's game jam!
