The Cursed Saga: Under Black Sails is an adult adventure game that I created in the tradition of Point & Click games and visual novels. It tells the story of the fate of a young French nobleman, who went in search of fame and fortune in the dangerous waters of the Caribbean. This is the era of the golden age of piracy, looting and plundering, and amazing adventures.

This... I get that you're trying to be enticing, but anyone who sees that is going to read it as 'Would you like to play the porn version of Russian Roulette? Just watch we get new and different bullets all the time!'

To put like I do to writers; Be coy with the plot, not with the genre.

For example, some people won't touch games if it has any M/M at all. Others (like myself) won't touch games without a *lot* of M/M content. By being coy with the pairings, you lose out on both groups.
Also, when you are mysterious with the fetishes, that inevitably puts the fear of scat into people. The list of fetishes and pairings is as important to successful advertising as what genre your game is, if not moreso. Many people won't even consider clicking your links unless they know *for certain* what is waiting for them on the other side.

Oh, you misunderstood me. I did not try to be enticing with anyone. My answer is simple: if you like what I do, then watch, if not, ignore. There is no hidden meaning in my words. I also do not force anyone to click on my links. Everyone decides for himself.
Otherwise, I really planned a lot for the development of the project. Listing everything in detail is like playing the role of a politician, who only gives a heap of empty promises and does nothing. This is not my approach to work and I do not like it.

In that case, say what you have right now, even if that's nothing. Say what you intend to have more of and how that will work. You can't spread yourself too thin, since no one is going to want to play this game for the sex if it's ten hours long and there's only a couple scenes that cater to their fetishes. So make sure you pick a handful of things to focus on. If you're going for broad appeal, it's very important that all sex is optional and clearly signposted or has content toggles. Additionally, you should have something like ~40% of your sex be vanilla content to tide people over between the stuff they really like.

What I have, I wrote in the start message.
I have an adventure game in a setting of the pirate century, the gameplay is designed for 15 minutes, and includes one sex scene. I will publish the next update in the second half of April. The update will include another sex scene. I won’t tell anything about sexual scenes, because all this is part of the plot story of my game. Or do you need spoilers? But in general, I can only say that all the sexual scenes will be in the form of traditional sex (male + female). Next, I will include more variety.
If you want - you can download and watch, if you do not want, ignore it. Everything is very simple =)

That's what the spoiler option is for. One can't just get blind into a smutty game, especially when it comes to kinks. There are far too many games out there to keep an eye on them, but knowing that x is planned or is already included might make players come back when x is implemented.

I have finished work on a new update to my game.
Update 2:
- The Adventure continues! The plot of the game already includes more than 4500 words and the passage takes 40 minutes.
- Added a new sex scene.
- I slightly improved the appearance of the characters and added a simple animation during the conversation. Perhaps in the future I will add more animations to the characters, but this will entirely depend on the support of my project.
- Added German. Now my project includes three languages: Polish, English and German. But German is more complicated than English, so most likely my translation contains a lot of mistakes. And unfortunately, I can’t translate into other languages. If someone wants to help me with a new translations or editing texts, then you can contact me.

Update 2 is now available only to my patrons, who want to support the development of my project for $ 5 per month. After 5 days, I will publish this update for patrons who want to support me for $ 3 per month. Finally, after 10 days, I will publish this update in two versions: public free version with censorship and paid uncensored for $ 1.
I will be releasing updates every month. So if you liked what I'm working on, you can support me. This will allow me to devote more personal time to the development of the project, and then, I hope, my game will become even more interesting for you.
In the next update, I want to start creating new mechanics for the game. If you play my game (Update 2), then I think you’ll understand what innovations I plan.
Thank you for your attention and thanks for the possible support! See you next month!

I have finished work on a new update to my game.
From previous updates, you know that Francois, with the help of a spanish lady, finally escaped from the captivity of pirates. He decided not to flee the ship and instead take decisive action - try to mutiny and take the ship. Can Francois realize this daring plan or will he suffer a bitter defeat? In this update you will find out what fate awaits him.

Update 3:
- The Adventure continues! The plot of the game already includes more than 6000 words and the passage takes 1 hour!
- Added combat! Of course, I did not have hundreds of hours of free time to create full-fledged RPG battles, but I think that my combat system fits perfectly into the game.
- I did a little art-rework of my characters.
- Fixed incorrect operations when loading saves.

Click to expand...
All the sex scenes in the game are content in the form of traditional sex (male + female). In the near future you can only expect the appearance of lesbian content (female + female). Further, when I gradually add a fantasy theme to the game’s plot, I will have the opportunity to create other content: sex with futa girls, different sex scenes with mythical sea creatures, etc.
This is what I can promise.
But I will give the player a choice which content is acceptable for him and which is not. In my game there will be many characters with whom it will be possible to have a romantic and love relationship. Now you can meet two ladies. This is a young Spanish noblewoman Maria with a hot temper, and the insightful English courtesan Beatrice.

I have finished work on a new update to my game.
From previous updates you know what events befell our protagonist - Francois. He first appeared in Caribbean waters and was captured by pirates. But he fled, finding new friends and allies. With their help, he rebelled on a pirate ship. A terrible battle took place, in which he almost died. Now he is the captain of a beautiful ship! Does this mean that his misfortunes come to an end or fate remains cruel?

Update 4:
- The adventure continues! And a new twist on the plot story awaits you.
- Added new locations.
- Added a new sex scene.

Thank you for your attention and thanks for the possible support! See you next month!

I have finished work on a new update to my game.
From previous updates you know that thanks to great courage and little luck, our Francois becomes the head of a faithful team of sea dogs. He is elected captain of an excellent pirate ship. But in the dangerous waters of the Caribbean, no matter how hard you try, you cannot survive alone. What should he do? Fate leads our hero in the heart of the Republic of Pirates - Nassau!

Update 5:
- The adventure continues!
- Added location - brothel in Nassau.
- Added a new sex scene. I also slightly improved all previous sex scenes. In addition, I added the opportunity to review them again. The gallery of sex scenes is located in a special menu (click on the bed in your room in the brothel).
- In this menu you can also change the mode of day and night. Some events in the future will occur only at night or only in the daytime. I did not do a visual indicator of day and night. Just get outside and you will know it!
- Added a diary in which current tasks and your adventures will be recorded. This is a menu with a portrait of Francois (at the beginning of the game it is blocked). It will be unlocked only after the events of this update in the brothel.

Thank you for your attention and thanks for the possible support! See you next month!

I have finished work on a new update to my game.
From previous updates, you know that fate brought our hero to the lair of the notorious sea robbers - Nassau. A completely new life path opens up before him. But this uncharted road is full of danger and trouble awaits him at every turn...

Update 6:
- The adventure continues!
- Added new locations in Nassau (pier, township, campground and fortress).
- Added sex with courtesan Ann. These are not the sex scenes that were previously featured in the game. I created it a little differently and to get access you will need to pay Ann for sex. Go to the pier. There you will start events. Actually, the main events of this update will be the story quest, which will begin if you talk to your boatswain on the pier. This storyline quest is currently unfinished in this update. Wait for the next updates!

I have finished work on a new Upd. 7 to my game + published a free public version of Upd. 4.

Update 7:
- The adventure continues!
- Added New Providence Island Map + new Location.
- Added a new female character for future romantic relationships.
- Improved our protagonist Francois + added animations to him in storytelling mode.
- Fixed system errors in the code when reloading game scenes and many critical bugs were removed.

Public version of Update 4:
This version contains material from the new Update 7, as it fixes many critical errors in the code, but the storyline is blocked on Update 4. Currently, the English version is available. There is a lot of work, so I only translate into English.

Thank you for your attention and thanks for the possible support! See you next month!

I have finished work on a new update to my game.
In this post I will also tell you about the plans for further development of my project in the next year. This is important information, because you can choose which of my plans will be most interesting for you.

First, a quick overview of Update 8:
- The adventure continues! The first story quest in Nassau is fully completed;
- Added fist fight;
- Added 2 CG-arts + improved New Providence Island map;
- I also decided to attach the save folder so that you don't have to constantly start a new game in order to get acquainted with the latest innovations. Find the desired folder in your system files and replace them. The path to save can be, for example, here: %SystemDrive%\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\LocalLow\PurpleGray
It is a hidden system folder; select the required configurations so you can see hidden files on your hard drives.
I saved the game for you before the events of update 7: talk to Caitlin, complete her assignment again and after that continue the quest and find out what events it ends with.

Secondly, I want to summarize some of my work on the project. I have been developing this game for almost exactly one year. What have I managed to do during this time? The first aspect of the work concerns the technical side of the project: many lines of code have been written and many technical features have been added. Of course, not everything is ready yet.
The second aspect of the work is the creative side of the project: a lot of graphic and visual elements (backgrounds, characters, animations, icons, arts, etc) have been created and more than 13,000 words of storyline have been written. So it will take you more than 2 hours to complete the game.
I think this is a great result for an independent project. But you can make your own opinion. I am never against constructive criticism. Although I must apologize for my english. This is not my native language, so maybe my text is not very good. I translate according to my knowledge and abilities.

Third, I want to talk about my work plans for the next year. I see two development paths:
1) At the moment there are 5 female characters in the game for romantic relationships. I can focus next year on developing the relationship between our protagonist Francois and these girls. But in this case, we will stay in Nassau.
2) I can focus on the main story quest, in which we will gradually get out of Nassau to discover and visit other places in the Caribbean.
What will be more interesting for you? If you want, then write comments or leave everything to my personal discretion. For now, I plan to work on the game graphics. In the next update, I want to add improved versions of characters and make animations for them, without new storyline quests. So during this month you can write your opinion and determine in which direction I should develop the project in the new year.

Thank you for your attention and thanks for the possible support! See you next month!
P.S.: I want to wish everyone a pleasant holiday and the fulfillment of your brightest wishes in the new year! Good luck!
