I am yet among the living, so i can die. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Nah seriously, im back with a high end rig with a new 250 gig harddrive. Time to reinstall the build mod and perhaps start tweaking again <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
 
Welcome back! Your presence is most welcome! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />
As a matter of fact we're currently working on the Periods mod, adding the United States and giving forts different flags, so there's a good chance we'll be needing a lot of flag-work soon. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
Welcome back, MM. Good to see you here. (As if I haven't been away for far too long)

Indeed, Pieter tells me that the build mod may soon have use of my flag making skills again soon.
Which btw reminds me, the latest revision of my flags(a couple of months old but still) is in my MM folder on the FTP if anyone wants to check them out <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
 
I will say Hi! as well, although this isn't an official return(of BB or my old child of Thor tag), but more of an 'I still look in from time to time to see how you are all doing on the build mod' <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

Actually I'm right bang in the start point of getting my own game into production, so that is taking ALL my time, and will probably until davy jones crawls to shore! As it goes along I will pop in to tell you how it's going, when I can.

But Hi Pieter and All, good to see you guys all pushing it along. And I like to see what you're all up to in the build. Good luck, keep the wind in your sails and keep reaching - the best Pirate game is here for the keeping imho.
 
Black Bart! Nice seeing you again as well. Indeed what are you working on? You got us curious now. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
I hope you'll be able to make some time to try out Build 14 when it's done. Once it's finished, it'll be really something to be proud of for us. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />
 
@ Thomas and Pieter,

Well i'm just available in a lurker mode for now - gaming as a pastime hasn't been as frequent as I would like, and most of that has been to do with my project - so quite a narrow selection of games to diet on for the last six months or so.

As to the game, well all I can say for now is that it's right at the start line of a two year(ish) production cycle and is a pure indie effort by a small 7 man team of long time friends. And it isn't a pirate themed one, so POTC+build mod is still the one for that genre. Actually looking at the bug tracker I notice a whole load of red/critical bugs? I'm sure we didn't have that many before!!

For a while I thought the release of Age of Pirates might sound the death knell on POTC modding, but I suppose in the same way the experienced modders prefer Morrowind over Oblivion, the same seems to be true here, which is great. The newest game isn't always the best for modding <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

I'll be sure to try out build 14 when I can.
 
What's the game about? I'm still interested to hear more. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

The Bug Tracker hasn't been updated for a while. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />

Well you know I'm not going to be able to fully satisfy peoples curiosity, not for a while anyway as it's just too early in the cycle. All I will say for now is that its a strategy type game for PC. And as long as I can keep the troops in order we should be able to produce something refreshing, maybe a little old school in certain areas, but with no publisher telling us what to do it should be fairly unique <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

I'm lucky to have some great artists(they work in commercial comic books) and a great musician so it should look and sound great. And that's about all I can say I'm afraid.

And from the look of your pic, you made it in the navy(was it merchant?). Last time I was here you were just about to go to sea and everyone was freaking out about who would step up to your level of dedication to POTC! Well the project seems to still be going so it wasn't all bad. Hey, is the 'hook&hat' pub chain still in the build mod?

Anyway all the best to you all here, sorry I can't say more and have probably said too much anyway <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
 
A strategy game? I like strategy games. Please keep us updated! We'd be interested to hear more once you can tell us more. Perhaps we could even promote it on the main page once the time comes for that. It might not be a pirate game, per se, but it's still a game developed by a pirate forum member. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

My forum picture was taken in Vancouver aboard the MS Zuiderdam, a Holland America Line cruiseship. This Wednesday I will be going to the Zuiderdam again, in Barcelona this time. This means I will again be relatively gone for a while. But Pirate_KK is the official modpack compiler now, so the Build mod will be left in capable hands. And I'll drop in from time to time. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

The Hook & Hat pub chain in still there. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />
