Wozu Early Access?

„Pirate Game! is an homage to the golden age of piracy spanning three centuries and the four great naval nations of that era. There are a lot of stories to tell and a lot of work left to do to bring the game to a complete level of functionality and quality and that journey begins with players getting access to the game so they can help shape its future.“

Wie lange wird dieses Spiel ungefähr den Early Access-Status haben?

„The game needs about 2 more years of development. This will be primarily divided into three branches of work: the additional playing modes for open-world, creating content-creation tools, and writing the remaining campaigns to play as Dutch, Spanish and French historical pirates, and eventually fantasy-based campaigns.“

Wie soll sich die Vollversion von der Early Access-Version unterscheiden?

„A lot can change once player feedback starts being incorporated, but the general plan is to make what is currently in place "fuller" and enrich it with more functionality, animations, voice-overs, more character, ship, and port art, and better art and animations, a better soundtrack.

Alongside these "quality of life" improvements the full version may include an endless open world play-mode, additions like land excursions and treasure maps, character inventories and items, perhaps even marrying the governor's daughter.

Content creation tools bundled with the final version may include the option to create and share your own campaigns and stories, along with a set of campaigns for each of the remaining great powers of this era, France, Netherlands and Spain.“

Was ist der derzeitige Stand der Early Access-Version?

„Three complete campaigns for British privateers set in the "Golden Age of Piracy", the 17th century.

Each of these campaigns take place at very different times during British colonization of the West Indies, with George Somers establishing the port of Bermuda in 1610, James Riskinner's adventures in the 1630s and Joseph Bannister's piracy in the 1680s.

As these historical figures you will lead your ships to battle against merchants, Spanish naval vessels and privateers, ports, and buccaneer strongholds through more than one hundred unique missions:

• George Somer's journey to Jamestown, after a hurricane destroyed his ship off the island that became Bermuda
  
• James Riskinner hunting Spanish ships from Providence in the 1640s amassing a fortune to return to England
  
• Joseph Bannister who absconded with "The Golden Fleece" in 1684 and raided the Spanish port of Campeche
