very nice ambient

 

Nice going. Keep it up.

 

Love the art style. The clouds and water look fantastic.

 

Thanks for all your replies!
Were now heading to a working game...
Its now possible to race around the island the first around the island wins!
the ships of the losers will burn!!!! until the end of time

dont mind the texture of the ship this is just a placeholder...

but go ahead and play the game here:stefanmensen.nl/Pirates.html

and we like some feedback

 

[UPDATE]

We just added a minimap and some tweaks to the steering go check it out here:
http://stefanmensen.nl/Pirates.html

 

[UPDATE]

In this update we've added the ships texture and polished the minimap, we also added crates in the water to create some dificulty

Check the update out at:

I think you ought to animate the water surface at some point.

 

That water so reminds me of some of the modern day zelda water surfaces , Neat stuff.

 

Looking good, love the style.

 

[Update]

First of all thanks for all the comments keep them comming

for the update of today we added character selection to the game currently theres no gui for and you only change the size of the boat but the system works so now we can put in the art

go check it out here:
http://stefanmensen.nl/Pirates.html

 

I thought about doing a game like this, well you beat me to it.. good work keep up the good work, perhaps add power ups at some point so the players can slow each other down

 

amazing!

 

you should definitely just Mathf.Clamp, the y position of the ships instead of using a plane. that way, some ships can rest higher in the water than others and the tiny ship won't be 70% submerged in water.

 

yes as said this are just place holders the final ships will be placed the right way so they rest the right way in the water. This was just to have de programming done for the character selection menu. Still thanks for the suggestion!

 

There's a new ship on the horizon!
and it brings a lot of cannons and firepower

all the ships will have cannons at the end

enjoy the new build here:

G shoot on your Left side
H shoot on your Right side

It's bin a while since our last post so hear comes a little headsup

also were working on better collision with the islands

in the feuture there will come

• detailed landscaping
• more boats to sale
• single player
• battle mode

and many more!

 

Update

There's a new boat on the horizon!
There's a new boat selection screen.
And we added the first few jumps and arrows to show you your way thru the piratebay.

so go check out the update here: Pirates
and let us know what you think.

 

Update

There's a ghostship on the horizon!
Also we added the finished level selection screen and some sound.

Go check it out here: Link
keep those comments and critics comming

 

just beautiful!

 

Thanks!
We hope you all enjoy this project.

 

since we cant add a new poll to this thread.
We would like to ask you guys if you can post your top 4 of the boats that are in the game now and a idea for the last boat.

Thanks!

 

huh? The game I ended up at didn't look anything like the screenshots. Some tank killing spiders. Sands of Doom or some such?

Had insanely long load time, and was incredible hard :-(

Looked nice though.

 

Sorry but i have no idea where you are talking about.
here's a new link Pirates no spiders

 

Brilliant work. Plays nicely too! I had one niggle though; going over jumps realllllyy slows you down. You may want to fix that.

 

Cool game!

Liked:
- Nice ship designs
- Nice landscape
- Track wasn't too short nor too long
- Okay water animation

Disliked:
- No menu option after losing
- Canons did no damage?
- Jump ramps were glitchy
- Too many crates in that one place, no sense of being able to dodge
- Ghost ship seemed slower than other ships while regular ship was faster?
- Need some places that increase speed for a short amount of time instead of jumps?

 

BIG UPDATE

Here's a small list of what's in this update.

Wow guys this looks awesome! Try adding some sort of shadowing to it and it will look even better than it already does.

 

Nice going, can I just ask you how do you make a split-screen multiplayer with unity because im trying to make a split-screen FPS.

 

Comment:
When i went into the sand, it was almost exactly like the water... is this how you want it to be?

I would have pictured it to be like the ship goes on top of the sound.

Other than that I love it!
Amazing graphics, nice GUI, 10 stars out of 10.

 

Thanks for all the comments!
from now on you can comment us on the page of PirateParty itself and also like us with your facebook account

 

I love the style! Reminds me of one of my all time favourite games, The legend of Zelda: Windwaker

 

This looks awesome, and I really like the music!
Sorry if it's already been brought up, but is there any standalone version to download?

 

Sorry there's no standalone download.

 

Glitch? (see attached)



The ship is stuck in the sign

 

Awesome game, two things:

1st: Dude when you leave the left or right arrow for a long period of time the ship turns really hard and its kinda hard to control it.
2nd: I won, a YOU WIN message pop up and after a YOU LOSE message pop up as well and then my ship burned.

other than that its funny, you should make the ships blow up when you shoot at it..

 

Thanks for all the bug reports! It really helps us and we added them to our bugs to fix list.

 

Since you guys liked our water and skybox so much we decided to put them in the Assetstore.
The water is unity3d indie friendly and works on all platforms.
The skybox works like all other unity3d skyboxes.

You can check them out here:
​

 

Thanks for all the great comments over time t really helps us developing this game.
We are currently working on a the game mode "Drag Race" so stay tuned

 

Since we didn't work on the project for a long time.
You can now get all these Pirate Ships in the Asset Store Here

 

Cool game, I really like it! Will you be adding the boat physics to the Assetstore? I've been trying to figure out similar physics for cars, but am having trouble at the moment. Love the art by the way!

 

sorry this project isnt available in the assetstore. Aldo you can find the skybox the water and the boats in the assetstore

 

i must say.. VERY NICE

 

Thanks.

 

After a long time we finally decided to start working on this project again. So stay tuned.

Feel free to give us feedback.
