You can try it now and tell us what you think!
We're always looking for ways to improve the core gameplay. Until we find the right formula, we can't consider an Early Access release. However, the next updates (new UI, new tutorial, new intro...) should be significant steps towards a 2021 release.
Thank you for your patience and support!

PS: during the last few months we realized than Orphan Age has gotten too big for a two men team and we spent a lot of time finding the right pirates to join the Black Flag crew. The team is now almost complete and we'll do a proper introduction real soon!

Hello everyone!
Last time, we announced that the studio had decided to recruit other talents to speed up the production of the game... Good news: the team is now complete!
We'll introduce you to the new crew members soon, but for now, we need you.
If you've played the alpha or even the demo, your opinion matters to us!
Also, feel free to tell us how you feel about topics that have not been mentioned in this questionnaire in the comments or on our Discord server.
Thank you for your help which will be very useful to us!

Some news from Studio Black Flag!

Hello, everyone! We hope you're all well!
With this confinement everyone has to deal with, our studio has not been spared either. Indeed, everything is a bit more complicated so we're running late on our update schedule.
Besides, we feel we can't meet the expectations that have been set if there are only two of us in the team. To correct the situation, we have therefore planned to recruit people to expand the team and speed up production. Once we have recruited everyone we need, we will introduce you to the team!
By the way, we're looking for a Unity C# Gameplay Programmer who has already worked on a game and have an appetite for system games.
- Remote work possible, full-time work as employee or freelance possible.
Please send us your applications at [email protected] if you want to join us and work on a great project!
And don't worry, in the meantime we're working hard to fix the current bugs and we'll have good news soon!
Thank you for your understanding and your support, and rest assured that we're doing our best to make Orphan Age a great game!
Take care!

Hi friends! First of all, our team wishes you a very Happy New Year!
We're sorry for the lack of communication these last months but from now on, we'll try to be more active to give you the latest information about Orphan Age!
To make it up to all of you, we worked on our game Click of Cthulhu which you can play now for FREE! Click of Cthulhu is a hybrid city builder/clicker game where you build the sunken city of R’Lyeh in order to awake Cthulhu.
Orphan Age - 20.02 Update is live!
We have updated from Unity 2018 to the latest version => 2019.3.
This version allows us to upgrade the graphical engine from standard rendering to high definition render pipeline which comes with State-of-the-Art possibilities, tools and features. All the lighting and atmosphere has been remade for every scene.
So, what's new with the HD Render Pipeline ?
Better overall graphics quality.
Better lighting & accurate shadows.
More realistic effects in post processing.
Game render scalability in the long run.
Finer graphical optimizations.
A final render closer to our visual references
Better particles system and VFX
Volumetric lighting and fog
Bug fixes :
Escape menu buttons doesn't work (Main menu & Exit).
Better highlights management on furniture & buildings.
Launch expedition button doesn't work.
Sometimes orphans don't want to finish build (should be fixed...)
Better display of colliders while building furniture.
Orphans refuse to eat/wash (should be fixed...)
Can't close binding keys' window in settings.
Character creation system
We do not have a fixed release date, however we plan to send keys to all backers within the end of the year!
We thank you for your patience and we'd like to remind you our goal is to make a good game which will not disappoint you. As Miyamoto said, "a delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad"!
However, Cyndie joined the team as a communication intern, so we'll keep you posted on what's new more regularly!
Also, if you want to discuss the game or ask any question, we'd be glad to welcome you on our Discord server! We tend to miss notifications of messages on Kickstarter but we’re always available on Discord.
Love to you all,
The Black Flag Crew
