Beta progress is going er.. smoothly.

The team at Plundersail have been working diligently, crossing off milestones and fixing bugs, whilst implementing feedback from user testing, and have begun the process of incorporating enemy types that change the experience in Survival mode! Beware, for these are not your normal pirates!

Plundersail is about exploring the sea, and fighting other pirates with your own unique crafted ship! The team of 5 (including myself) have been working on the game for under 3 months, and I want to show you the progress we’ve made.

At this stage the concept was there, it was basic, but it was there, I just couldn’t wait to see more.

Here you can see the ships much closer to what they are now, the game was a cool tech demo at this point.

Its been a crazy week, our pirateship building game Plundersail has reached beta milestone and the gold date is just creeping up behind it, there's really not long left to go. I must say, it's been awesome.

Tweaks like additional shaders to help the overall aesthetic have been made, Ive also almost completed the islands to fill up the world.

And we've reincorporated armour pieces into the mix

We've something very exciting in progress, and can't wait to show you all!

We realised very early on in Plundersail that some new players weren’t sure why their ship was moving slowly, so we’ve added a UI element to show the expected speed output of their creation!

Hey, you lovely bunch! I wanted to share a small snippet of the world of Plundersail!

There are 4 days until this game is submitted which is absolutely terrifying, what’s even more frightening is that we’ve made this massive game in just a few months, and soon it won’t be the thing I’m working on every day! 

I’ve been taking second passes on islands, and structures, trying to lead the player in an open world is a whole new level of design though, it’s tough!

So a huge part of Plundersail’s overall theme is chaos.

We want players to go out there and create menacing, wondrous ships and then be able to pit them against enemy ships and fight and cry and all that other jazz, so destruction and loss of parts of one’s ship is a must! Unfortunately.. it’s a little bit temperamental at the moment...
