Merchant Mariner: Idle

After I got a ghost ship and a man o' war, I was bored, so I tried to cheat and succeeded. Was a fun adventure, you did some great obfuscation there, but if you want to secure it you should rely on server-side save games

If you defeat a pirate, you will get the items, but the bounty will not be added to your money.

I lucked out and captured a ghost ship. Is there more than one that can be captured?

You should add some security on the save, for the experience I tried to decode it and give me 264 400 000 000g, and reencode it, and look at the leaderboard xD
Otherwise good and fun game ! I trashed the save with all the golds and played normally :)

Love it but wish there was more to do after getting 3 schrooners because it's a bit of a jump but overall I'm really enjoying it. Would love to be able to change my name lol

Really enjoying the game so far. Hopefully you can add a way to sell docked ships directly as its fairly unintuitive right now. I also think an adjustment to the economy around mid game would be nice, as currently once you get full brigantines its quite a jump for the next ship with little else to do.

Very fun game, although I can tell it's going to be a bit of a grind to get anything past brigandines!

I did notice a bug in blackjack. When you hit "Deal Again", the dealer's second card shows before it turns face-down. This seems to happen every time. If you pay attention, you know exactly what you have to beat so you know if it's too risky to hit or if you have to risk it. 

I suddenly get defeat on every trip now. It now happened for the fourth time in a row.

Pirate Risk: 19% (also only goes from 20% -> 19% when switching to pirate companion?)

Win Chance: 88%

The chance of both getting a pirate and then losing would in my mind be approximately 19% x 22% = 4.18%.

Does your username come from the Stormlight Archives?

Hey it's me again 😬 I wish it was worth it to complete quest maps because selling them for 35s -> 3500c shouldn't be more worth it than the average treasure (mins like Broaken Oar, worth 10c and max, but oh so rare: Heart of the Ocean, approx 5g -> 50000c)

In my current state of the game, (8000g-13000g "banked") it isn't worth it to use the maps, and selling them to avoid filling the inventory is a bit tedious (a lot of clicks) in the current UI. You've nailed the games quest payout for a "check once per day" game but if you want more active gameplay I would suggest first changing the RNG to be more like a shuffled deck, so it's never 8 trade events in a row, because you rarely need more than one (or 2 if you're like me and forget the fish)

Also I like how the leaderboard ties players together and would love to see more of that. On the other hand I completely understand how multiplayerizing a single player game with static code to more than a shared leaderboard is a complete rewrite.

Love the game, would love to see more updates <3

Something has happened to my harvesting pearl. I was getting roughly 100g a day (something close-ish to that anyway) but now, in the last 18 hours I've only generated 9gp. Quite a big drop. The only change I made on my end was dropping one Brigantine for one Galleon leaving me with a Brigantine and two Galleons.

I started a voyage that was roughly 5 hours to complete. When I finally checked, it was about 9 hours away from the game; the voyage completed and the pearl had generated less than 1 gold. Definitely broken as far as I can tell. 

I love this game! Please continue developing this <3

Could you make the money visible in the upgrades "popup"? Or if that doesn't work, maybe at least unblur and reduce the opacity on the black background?

Also, can you show somehow the gsc formatted activeVoyage.contract.baseReward if there is an activeVoyage? :p

I've been really enjoying the game for quite a few days now on my off time. Only question I have is what the pearl farm actually does. It said it gives passive income but I haven't gotten anything of the sort so far.

my save did not carry over even thoe i clicked continue voyage

i dont earn any money from trips, tried clearing cache and didnt help

Session didn’t persist on ios browser :(

Enjoying the game, but I have some questions/feedback:

The HP/Hull durability system is rather opaque. How does it work?

You can reroll contracts by abandoning the voyage with no consequences. It seems like this shouldn't be possible. Maybe it shouldn't show a new job until the contracts refresh?

Could there be a way to rename the ships? Mine are all actually stuck with the exact same name right now.
