This week on Anchored at Sea, monetisation is a necessary evil, the game is completely free to play, the packs are not necessary but the money we get is. Servers are expensive, so is software and hardware necessary to make games. I also like food.

Gotta build fast

This is a staple of the Base builder mobile game diet, and we’ve designed this in 3 separate ways; paying for the instant completion of buildings being constructed, an hour long potion that increases the speed of everything made in that time and a potion that increases the speed of one type of construction for one hour. All of these potions are purchased through the in-game store for Doubloons, the premium currency.

We got Doubloons, we got potions, we got coming soon.

Our in-game store, is now in a beta state, but it does function. We are working on creating some content in there worthy of your hard earned dollars. We have construction speed ups, but we are also working on skin packs and cosmetic items to pretty up your base.

I will Trade you.

Sometimes you don’t get what you are after when raiding or fighting other pirates, it would be nice if you could ask them to just give you what you need. If only. Well now in the new Trading Hub you can take your unwanted resources, blueprints, scrap, and escudo and trade them for something far more useful to you.
