WIP "Caribbean!" - Single and Multi-Player Game

I haven't heard anything for a while now, and I've been visiting their site often. Does anyone know what's happened to this game? lol, I hope it doesn't pull a Captain Blood on us :p.
 
Maybe, maybe not. Anyway it is not very nice to ignore a Fan Community like that. It doesn´t hurt just to give a small status update to the ones they were asking to support the beta after such a long time :rolleyes:
 
I agree that would be nice. But for now, I prefer to think of "no news is good news".
 
Carribbean is a pirate RPG from the makers of Mount & Blade’s expansion

Snowbird Games, creators of Mount and Blade: With Fire and Sword, have announced their upcoming project, Caribbean, that brings many of the mechanics of M&B to a 16th-century swashbuckling setting. The Mount and Blade series is definitely in that “high investment, high reward” category that only really works on the PC (with the likes of EVE, Dwarf Fortress, and Day Z). It’s also about as close as you can get to a full-blown Game of Thrones RTS.
If commanding hundreds of scallywags in real-time boarding missions interests you, read on.
Snowbird’s announcement cites a trove of ambitious features, including:
  • Sea battles with intuitive and easy control system;
  • The real-time boarding fights that throw player in the centre of the action;
  • Detailed management and customization of both the fleet and the crew;
  • Complex siege system allowing the players to storm forts, harbors or entire cities;
  • Different kinds of artillery: shipboard cannons, mortars and howitzers;
  • Random events system that keeps players question their decisions during their voyage;
  • True ‘Carribean’ atmosphere of the vast and dangerous world;
  • Unique NPCs whose design based on the real historical figures;
  • Various multiplayer modes featuring the sea and land battles, boarding and sieges.

The devs say you should be able to get your hands on the buccaneering goodness this September.


"We’d like to clarify (once more) the reason behind the ‘Caribbean!’ beta test delays.
We want the game elements that we’re working on right now to be as complete as possible. To be honest, we became victims of a classic case of ‘development hell’ known to happen in game development. Having started with ‘Mount & Blade with ships’ concept over time we almost switched to making a war and historical colonization simulator."

Beta test will definitely happen but at this point we can’t tell for sure when exactly. In the video below Monty Python explains very well how things are made in Russia:

Cheers. :doff

Maybe someone should send a message to Snowbird Games. People are beginning to wonder about the progress.
 
Apparently, the reason there has been no news lately, is because the developers have been busy with the release of their other title 'Eador'. They have just released a statement saying that the Caribbean! project is not dead and they are starting work on it again, after their time away working on the other title.

To wet your appetite a bit, here is a video showing some in-game footage. The devs have said that this video is really old, taken when they first started working on the project and doesn't reflect what the game looks like at all now, but it does give you an idea of how things like fighting on horseback will look.
