    Announcing Buccaneers!, a new Pirate Game from Skyward Digital

    I totally get what you mean. The Caribbean is what I'd consider the "easy" option as it's what we're most familiar with. In this case, it also fits well with our fictional premise of a united pirate faction making a comeback after the end of the Golden Age of Piracy, with the goal of capturing...

    Announcing Buccaneers!, a new Pirate Game from Skyward Digital

    As @The Nameless Pirate said, this is not a volunteer project like Hearts of Oak and NHR were. I'm part of a small team working on this game as a career, and as we're aiming to sell the game on multiple platforms, it's definitely in our interest to see it through to release. ;)

    Buccaneers! Screenshots and Videos

    Here's a look at one of our WIP harbours, representing a smaller colony (particularly a pirate settlement). The fort is fully accessible, and the goal is to be able to attack it from sea, then land troops and fight through the town and into the fort to capture the colony.

    Buccaneers! Screenshots and Videos

    Announcing Buccaneers!, a new Pirate Game from Skyward Digital

    Thanks! We've had a very positive response so far, not just from here but on social media as well. Hopefully that will translate into more and more interest over the next few months. :dance

    WIP HMS Bellona (1760 version)

    That is indeed a stylistic choice. Technically, it's less efficient than smoothing, as the game engine renders each vertex multiple times to create a hard edge, but it looks surprisingly good with block-colours. The normal-mapped planking we've added gives it a bit more depth while saving...

    I almost forgot this game had an Xbox release. Still looks good to this day! :keith How well does it play with a controller?

    Announcing Buccaneers!, a new Pirate Game from Skyward Digital

    I don't expect modding will be ready for release, but we might look into it post-launch. We're having to focus more on multi-platform optimisation and features at this stage, as mod support would take a while to implement. That doesn't mean we're against the idea, though! We're using the Unity...

    Announcing Buccaneers!, a new Pirate Game from Skyward Digital

    This is a system I have wanted to make for a very long time! Real-time boarding was a massive pain to get working, but it's really cool in action, especially when three ships get involved... Yeah, the stealth system is still a work-in-progress. :wp But yes, the entire game can be played in VR...

    WIP HMS Bellona (1760 version)

    So... now that this has been announced, I thought I'd share a new incarnation of the Bellona: a low-poly version! There's an interesting story behind this model. Last year, after my company released its first game, we began brainstorming our next project. At the time, we were thinking...

    Tutorial Editing and Exporting Models with Maya

    Is it only this particular model, or does this also happen if you create a new empty scene? If that doesn't work, all I can think of is that your Maya install might be corrupted. Try re-installing it and see if that helps.

    Tutorial Editing and Exporting Models with Maya

    I've not seen that issue before. Does it still do that if you restart Maya? Or if you create another new texture in the Hypershade window with Create > 2D Textures > File?

    Nassau 1715 - Arma 3 mod

    I salute you for attempting such a feat with an engine that clearly wasn't built with sailing in mind. I wonder what the devs would think! :p I know first-hand how badly optimised Arma 3 is, especially with mods, so hopefully performance won't give you too many headaches. I may have to check...

    Hi!

    :ahoy :cheers I couldn't resist. :p I'm afraid not. It's something completely different, but that's all I'll say for now. I'll share more soon. ;)

    WIP Flying Dutchman Project: Cursed & Uncursed

    Well, I started my Bellona model 5 years ago, and that's still not finished. Life always manages to get in the way, but that hasn't stopped me from trying to finish the model. ;)
