First rule of getting out a demo.

NEVER GIVE A DATE of release. People will hold you to it. Always give estimates, such as "Coming 2005/2006"

Second rule for posting in WIP

Have screen shots ready (which you did, but I only saw one). If you don't people are going to lay the smack down on you. It's not "IIP (Idea In Progress)"

Anywho, good luck on your project. Since this is your first project that I can tell, I wish you would have started something more simpler, but to each their own.

ok, sry it didnt let me post one sentence in the middle, idk why though, everything else was working, sry for having to do that heres the last part:
o, and about the name, ya there are "zombies" or ""dead" people walking" i guess u could call them in the movie, but sry no "zombies" in the game. Its only gonna be the setting of the movie (caribbean, 1700's, nationality=england) thats gonna be in the game, sry if that dissapoints people .

EDIT: ok it wouldnt let me put the word "s-c-a-t-t-e-r-e-d" (without the -'s), i replaced it with messy up one of the above posts. idk why, sry

@uberwiggett: ok sry i misunderstood , but ya i know the demo will only include about 1/8-1/10 of the finished game, it will only have one island(port royal), no self building or self furnituring features(which will be in the finished product ), only 4-5 out of over 40 prof's will be available, only 3 swords and guns out of about 20 types of each in the finished, and lots of more VERY cut down features. O ya, the AI WONT be near as smart in the finished, even though ive devoted 1 month of the next 4 before the demo to AI programming and the finished product will have about 6 months or more devoted to AI programming . So ya i wont be including much of my "LIKE an mmorpg in ONLY the sense of freedom" in the first demo. actually let me rephrase that, it WILL have all freedom, only like 1 or 2 side stories out of about 50 in the finished game. It just wont have the mmorpg feel of a huge, smart, do anything and everything world YET.

@Cellbloc thanks for the compliment, and sry the websites not very good, i only know how to hyperlink, change font color, and font size lol, and ya sry theres only 2 screens, im going to take the 1st one out cause it doesnt even have a sky, but ill add a few more in the next few days so keep looking , and as i go ill add more.

Yeah, the game looks like it's coming together well. By the sounds of things your really gonna put a lot into this game. Can't wait for the demo.

Also is the game 1st person?

Thanks lol, i didnt think it looked that great, it only a box textured with a water texture i got , but im glad u think it looks good (i will probably change it to something more realistic in the full version)

Quote: "If this is being code in Pro I suggest looking for some water code by Ric, I think he made some"

Ok, but if ur talking about the AWESOME water effect with waves, i thought about that, but it would DRASTICALLY drop my FPS, especially for all the water thats in the game.

Quote: "Also is the game 1st person?"

In the first demo yes, in the full version its optional. I dont want to have to be dealing with camera and third person collision and other aspects of third person(ie: getting camera to stay behind player), in the little time i have.

Thanks for the compliments! They encourage me to keep working

heres some screens of the menu, it doesnt take a picture of the mouse, so it looks kinda wierd that the options are randomly selected, but in the game, if ur mouse is over each option it highlights it like seen in two of the pictures.
nothing selected

new game selected

extras selected

yeah screen 9, is cool, its in the hut that u see in most of the other screens if u didnt notice, sry about 7, i guess it is wierd if u dont know what it is, its a storage yard on the second floor, ill release the floorplan of it on my website later, maybe today, the storage yard's not exactly done, which u can see part of in some of the other pictures, and sry about the text on it, im testing some things. Yeah i make the buildings using CS4, and the fences, but the dock was done just using boxes, so were the roads, cause i did them before i got CS4, and ive been too lazy to copy them in CS4 , even though it would probably increase the speed a bit.

Nothing much but: Storage Yard Floorplan Released!! (only roughly drawn in about 5-10 minutes, but its a simple floorplan, and it shows everything, even though it may not be in exact proportions). More floorplans will be released in the future. Check website here:

for the floorplans and other info.

4 new screens added!!!!! They are screens 11-15, and are glimpses of a small bit of the new area being developed, just to the right of the current area. Also not that the screenshots now reach 15!!! which is a landmark for me , check out the website for the screens and more. Also plz note that many of these screens appear MUCH darker than they are in the game, idk why, just when u load something onto the internet it makes it darker, so sry about this inconvenience.
