Ahoy Buccaneers!
I’m here once again to update you on the latest developments I’ve been working on!
My goal is not to spoil or tell you every detail I’ve added, but to share a bit about the most significant things.
For all those who haven’t had the chance to enjoy v0.27 yet, the Elegia story continued to unfold, revealing a major hidden plot in the story and introducing our beautiful Kalifa, whom I teased in one of the latest news posts on Patreon.
I also added new general gifts for new characters. Many of you requested gifts, and this is a temporary solution that will improve in future versions.
By popular request, I also did a full rework of Alvida and added a new fully animated lewd event for her.
Here’s a preview of her new look:
I hope you enjoy the upcoming content!
Version 0.28 will bring new battles, mysteries to uncover, and the lewd event that won the last poll — the first anal sex event for Nami!
We’re finally reaching the climax of Elegia, marking the end of Uta’s main story, which will allow her to join the crew and continue getting more content in future updates!
Alongside the main story development, as I’ve mentioned in previous news, I’m working on adding new translations, so there’s a good chance I’ll include a new one in v0.28.
I also wanted to let you know that thanks to all your support, I’m looking into upgrading my work setup. Thank you so much for allowing me to keep improving Lusty Buccaneers!
This will help me bring you higher-quality content and hopefully let me release more content faster or avoid delays due to technical issues!
As for the release date of 0.28 and making 0.27 public, I can’t confirm a date just yet, but if all goes well, it could be out by the end of the month or in the first days of July. I’m also considering delaying it slightly to deliver a better event, but I’ll do my best to bring you the new content as soon as possible.
Thank you as always for your amazing support!
Until next time!
Kampai!

how do i download the .20 version im at the dessert
Nika pls add thereesome or lesbian contet
And one last thing, before I stop bothering you: I already emailed you about this but maybe you haven't red it. I am working on the German translation via ren'py and it goes pretty well. If you are interested I would send you the files once I am finished.
I appreciate your effort. The problem with translations is that it’s very difficult for me to delegate them to someone else… I know you’re active in the community, but it’s not an easy decision for me, because adding external files could expose players to risks I can’t control — and we’re talking about thousands of people all over the world. Also, an important point is that I don’t speak German, so I wouldn’t be able to verify what you’re writing, and I currently don’t have the time to review everything, as it would take a lot of valuable time. I’ve seen other games attempt this and eventually those translations get abandoned. For these reasons, I don’t see it as viable. I’m currently using AI to translate the game into other languages… At first it takes time to implement, but eventually it will bring great benefits. I hope you understand, but I have to be responsible for all players. Of course, your work will still help me compare and refine the AI translations! Thank you so much!
I'm sorry for my curiosity, but I got another question: do you've got an artist that helps you with the drawings or do you even draw everything by yourself? Because I noticed variations in style and quality especially for the NSFW scenes (e. g. with Perona) and I thought that would be because of different people working on the drawings.
I use AI to generate a base for the images, which I then edit by hand. The changes vary because at first I wanted to go with an art style different from the original work, but many players preferred something closer to the anime, so I listened and adjusted the art. Beyond the similarity to the original art, there are also other changes and improvements, since in addition to developing the game, I’m constantly learning how to improve it — enhancing the quality of the images and animations, learning new techniques, keeping up with technological advances and the latest tools. Thanks to the support of Patreons, I’ve also been able to upgrade my computer and tools, which allows me to generate even better visuals.
Hey Nika, I've got a question: Yamato is one of the three girls you got from the start. But isn't she a character Luffy is encountering comparatively late to Nami and Robin in the anime? Why is she a "starter"? It would be interesting to experience her storyline as well, just like Vivi and Uta. Same goes for Robin and maybe Nami. Do you plan on adding their stories, too?
Hi!, I chose her because she’s very popular and I knew many of you would enjoy having her in the crew early on. As for the story of each one, my idea is that they will have their own content as well. You’ll learn more about this later.
Nika, I have lost all of my progress which I saved up after updating the game, what should I do to get it back?
If you lost your progress, it's most likely that you won’t be able to recover it. But tell me, what device are you playing on?
Great!
Hola Nika, disculpa mi ignorancia, soy nuevo en Patreon. Quería saber una cosa, yo bajé el juego y para actualizarlo me manda a tu patrón. Si me suscribo me saldrá el enlace de la nueva actualización? Tengo la v0.26. Podría actualizarse a la v0.27. También quisiera saber si actualizo a la nueva versión, si el progreso que tengo puede continuar o debo empezar de 0? Saludos y espero tu respuesta para poder suscribirme
Hola Gabriel, hay publicaciones especificas para cada nivel de Patreon, al subscribirte tienes que buscar la ultima publicación con la versión que tengas acceso, ya no usaras los enlaces de la versión publica. Siempre intento que el proceso no se pierda y si seria asi lo notificaría. En Android mientras no desístales la app no perderás el proceso y en pc aunque borres la carpeta del juego el progreso se guarda en otro lugar asique no lo perderás. Saludos!
do you have an idea on the new island your gonna and
For now, it’s not set, as it depends on the Patreons, they decide which character appears next in the story, and from there the island related to their content is added. Stay tuned for future polls!
When you do add the fruits what type of fruits would you add
Hi! This will definitely be decided through a poll with the Patreons in the future!
When will we have translations into "Portuguese", not that it is necessarily mandatory to have, but it would be something interesting to think about since we also enjoy this game. (Well, at least I really like this game), and I'm waiting for the next free update with the continuation of the island of Eligia.
About the translations, I don't think it's that necessary to have them, but it's a good one, besides I know how to read both languages in the game, I just said that as an incentive for future updates.
Good!!!!
Bro this is Cinema
Wow you did a really good job
Dude, this Alvida is so beautiful that I had the same reaction as that Neuron Activation meme. And the tendency is that your art will get better and better. Congratulations, keep going. And I wanted to suggest a few things, if you don't mind. 1st: I had an idea. What do you think about making a public post every 10 public updates, regarding the latest version, for the public itself. In this post, talk about and point out the problems in the game. For example, it would start with version 0.40. There was a bug in the Android version that made some scenes not appear, or something like that. And then you would analyze all the comments so that in the next version, you could focus on the errors that the community found so that the errors don't happen again. What do you think? 2nd: Now that I think about it, why do the girls sleep naked? For example, wouldn't it make sense for them to sleep with clothes and blankets on at the beginning, and as we progress with them, we could take off the clothes and then do the actions? This doubt only came up now, can you believe it? lol. 3rd: I don't know if you mentioned it, but are you planning to put a bathroom on the Boat? Well, everyone has the right to keep themselves clean, just imagine, being able to spy on the girls while they take a bath, or even have exclusive scenes in the bathtub or shower, the Master of Ceremonies inviting a girl to take a bath with him, or even showing up by surprise for them "of course I would need a lot of points for that second suggestion", And besides the bathroom thing, you plan to do this with the kitchen too, going to meet a girl going to make breakfast for the gang and then, Bam, the MC arrives and offers her breakfast, if you know what I mean. 4th: Do the girls know about the protagonist's relationship with each other? If not, if they find out, will there be intrigues? About who will end up with the MC, or can they team up and beat up our character? Or will they take it in stride? 5th: Will we be able to have a pet in the game in the future? I know this has nothing to do with the game's purpose, but just imagine, the community would vote on what kind of mascot it would be and its name, this mascot would appear in the future with its own story, and would help the MC in the story, or be cute, with minigames to earn money, or points with the characters. I would vote for an Otter, or a cat, they are the height of cuteness. Thanks for your time Nika, and keep being that amazing person who listens to the fans, have a great day and remember to take breaks so as not to overwork yourself, and woe betide you if you go to work while sick, the fans know how to wait until you get better 😉
The bathroom idea is actually very neat! Spying the girls showering and bathing. Even though a bathroom with a shower and a bathtub isn't something you want in a ship. But who cares? It's a game after all and it's supposed to make fun.
bro new design of Alvida is best make her join the crew in future updates too
The new design for Alvida looks very (!) nice! Take your time with the release. More content, more fun!
This is going to be amazing I'm looking forward to seeing this I can't wait
