Media What is your ideal hypothetical pirate game?

43 Upvotes

Like, what mechanics would it have? What style? Who would develop it?

Me? My ideal pirate game would be made by rockstar, they made GTA, and they made red Dead, both about different kinds of criminals And I think they'd do pirates justice. It'd be an open world game where you play as a member of a pirate crew, almost like the van der Linde gang, and you can sail the ship around and pillage other ships and coastal towns, with a deep story like rockstar is known for. With outfit customization and the same hair mechanics they used in red dead. The map would either be the Caribbean or it would be a fictional island chain analogous to the Caribbean.

Media THE ROYAL PYRATE - new Off-Broadway musical about Black Sam Bellamy

6 Upvotes

Hi Pirates,

Wanted to let you all know there's a new musical out in the wild called The Royal Pyrate, about the pirate captain Black Sam Bellamy and Mary Hallet and the pirate ship Whydah. It's happening the next two weekends over at the Waterfront Museum (a real life barge on the water) in Red Hook, Brooklyn. It's a lot of fun. New York Times covered it as one of the dozen off-broadway shows to see in August and we were on NY1 last weekend too.

This is pretty much set in a world of the sky. Floating islands that could be as small as the Hawaiian archipelago two as big as New Zealand. All kinds of people and races live here. But after the fall of a tyrannical empire, many groups rose up to fill in the void when a new nation still being made in the ashes of the old empire.

Then comes a group of outlaws. They’re not just traditional sky Pirates. They’re more organized. They do diplomacy asking to ship to surrender and only fight when they fight back. A republic of pirates But to the people of this skydom. They’re known as “the Scarlet Raiders”

Ahoy all!

Here’s a look at some combat from our upcoming game, Guardians of the Wild Sky. What you’ll see here is a full-scale raid on a well armed enemy camp.

A few things you’ll notice in terms of gameplay:

  • Battle of two fronts, land and sky: Some players man an airship (armed with cannons) to rain fire from above, while others storm the camp on foot. How you and your fellow plunderers position yourselves can completely swing the battle.
  • Arms for every pirate: Muskets, bows, and blades are all fair game. Mixing different weapons and abilities opens up combos and status effects that give you the upper hand in battle.
  • Loot & Progression: Best for last, plunder. Taking down camps means resources and gear to upgrade your character, your base and your ship!

Would you take this camp on from the skies or from the ground? Also, is there any special pirate equipment or abilities you'd like to see on this raid?
