Seablip is a Stardew Valley inspired game about living the pirate live and exploring a vast open world.

Stardew Valley is an extremely popular indie game and created by only one single person, you may know him as ConcernedApe. Jardar is the developer behind Seablip an upcoming indie game that already met its funding goal on Kickstarter today.

Jardar openly says that “It is not a secret that I (Jardar) love Stardew, and I love the mood and feeling it creates. My music is finding a lot of inspiration from Stardew.” He aims to capture the spirit of the beloved farming game for Seablip.

The Seablip Island

Every pirate needs something to call home, while your ship is most likely the place you will spend most of your time, you can also call the island Seablip your sanctuary – you gotta stash those treasures somewhere!

You start out with just a few inhabitants and as you continue to play the game, you will grow the island and attract more people who want to live on your island. You will be able to build homes, dig for treasure chests and live the best pirate life you can possibly imagine!

Going on a Journey

Pirate life is all about going to sea and exploring the vast ocean and huge open world. Your ship is your pride and precious, you can upgrade it and make it become the best version of itself.

Add and enhance your ship as you gather resources to make it more powerful and withstand any encounter with other maybe not so friendly pirates.

It is your job as the captain to recruit crew-mates and make sure they are happy and safe. Your crew-mates may slip off the deck when its raining so perhaps keep them safe inside the boat at times.

Choose to be good or Evil

Jardar mentioned that in Stardew Valley players have choices over how they like to approach the game, go with evil and big cooperations like JoJo-Mart or choose to buy from local traders instead.

He tries to capture this feeling by giving choices to the players.

In Seablip you live on an island that in the old days was a powerful and glorious trading center for merchants, but has for a long time ago been abandoned. Now it is only you, your grandma, a grumpy lord/owner of the island, and a small trade outpost from the good guys “Whale Trading Company“.
