Fair Winds: Hello from Raven Watch Studios

We think a game world should be able to hold a grudge. Cross a port in spring and it should still be sore about it come autumn. So we're building one that does. (It holds on to the good deeds too. The grudge just makes a better opening line.)

We're Raven Watch Studios, and our first game is Iron Latitudes, a co-op, open-world pirate RPG set in the Golden Age of Piracy. It's built for you and a few friends and nobody else. No PvP, and the only people who can ruin your afternoon are the ones you let aboard. You get a ship that's actually yours and the freedom to go wherever the wind and your worst ideas take you.

It's early days, and we're honest about that. Right now the game amounts to ships that float and sail together in co-op, plus a few hand-built islands and a first port that's half town, half to-do list. There's a long voyage ahead, and we're going to show you the whole thing, including the "we spent three hours and the water still wouldn't fill the bay" nights.

So this is us, weighing anchor. If crewing up with your friends in a world that can hold a grudge sounds like your idea of a good time, stick around. The voyage goes up on this blog as it happens.

Fair winds,

The crew at Raven Watch Studios 🐦‍⬛

Worlds that remember.
