Harveyg an Nev announced They will will be showcasing Buccaneers at GDC show Mach 23-28 In San Francisco at the Garage Games stand, with added new features for the game. I'm hounding Harveyg an Nev for info on new upcoming added features <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/william.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":will" border="0" alt="william.gif" />
 
From Harveyg himself a little update on Buccaneers

<!--QuoteBegin-"harveyg"+--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE ("harveyg")</div><div class='quotemain'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Ahaar ! awesome, we've been added !! i wondered if that was going to happen ! Great news indeed !

Well, at the moment, we're looking at a kind of re-launch of the game in March. Buccaneer, Gold edition if you like <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> It'll be completely free, and we're toying with:

Bots in Multiplayer
New extra 1v1 multiplayer maps with a twist on gameplay.
A competition for people to design MP maps as 2d sketch, nev will make the best and get it/them in game from this launch <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
A more intuitive way of filling the servers up, maybe some dedicated too etc.
All niggly bugs fixed and final
A version for a couple of other download channels ( pending signatures at the mo.)
Boxed versions
More reviews and generally loads more PR to try and kick start the sales

WD skull, news material <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Making it free is interesting too, I wonder if it's because it's been successful or the other way.

Making it free is most certainly an interesting way of kick starting sales <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />

damski.
 
Would make more sense if it was only a free update for people who had already bought it. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

Aye, Stallion, ye may be in de right o' it!! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

"Free" might be meanin' de Gold Edition o'er de Base Released Edition! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />

Sound a like some clar'fication might be in order! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

Mebbe ol' Harv's email be a quoted outta contex'! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
Uh.. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" /> Wait a minute... FREE!?! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" /> ..no wait, It could be that free that isn't free. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />
 
So it's really just a patch dressed up as an update...

That makes less sense than giving away free games to boost it's sales <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Kinda Keith, The major bugs were squashed in Beta test, only a few minor little annoyances which I'm sure Harv is talking about. Was involved with Beta test, I'm pretty sure he is refer'n in that sense.
The update with added features look very impressive in terms of improved
gameplay would most likley be FREE if you have already purchased the digital download from STEAM.
Boxed version of course would contain original game with included updates and fixed minor bug issues would have a price tag on it. Harv has to pay for new toys for his newborn somehow.
Congrats Harv on new addition to your Family <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
That be sort of the way I read it as well. The new version would be free to those who had already purchase the game.

Some of the update mentioned looked pretty interesting for spicing up 1v1 online games. They can become a bit of stalemate at the moment. Also looking forward to some sort of throttle.

This game is a blast. Now I if I could only figure out to blast Booty out O the water sometimes.

Greg.
 
So what is their next project? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />
 
Well, they hinted that it's not sea-based. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> And that it'll only get made if enough copies of this game sell for them to break even.
