I don't know really if any of you are working in a Pirates-like game, would nice to know anyways. Please tell me!

I'm doing my own tribute to Sid Meier, so opening this devlog to share the ideas with you.

Well I did many parts, the AppGameKit Pathfinder from Phaelax did the most part of work navigating around the caribbean ... really a pathfinder is needing to simulate a real navigation in a top down system and at the moment I'm dealing with wind forces and those things.

I was focused in the map streamer, but doing a smooth scrolling instead refresh every screen.

I've loaded every part of the original game data but it will modded a bit. I'm typing (structuring) every object. AppGameKit T1 is working pretty well with User defined Types. And coming from C++ I feel comfortable, we are capable to do the rest.

I will share the most part of the code as example. It's my main project.

Really I'm excited with the idea to publish my own RTS game finally... Thanks all.

It claims to be multiplayer

NOTE: I did a map editor in-game and the pathfinder is awesome, thanks mate.

I must say I didn't remember Sid Meier's Pirates from the Amiga era, but I've seen a nice remake ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3if7ls_sBc ) and am pretty sure can be done better. So curious to see what you come up with.

Long, long time ago I was making a 2D Pirate game similar to Donkey Kong, where cannonballs would be thrown from the top of the mast, rolling down over the masts and ra's of the ship until all the way down with the player's objective of course to end up at the top and slice to bits the evil pirate doing this. It was at my C64, which sadly got a problem with the tape I saved it too, so I never continued working on it once I replaced it with an Amiga.

Do you have some pics/vids to show yet?

I thought about this being my next project. Of course, that is like 3 years away! I love that game. Also am a big Uncharted Waters fan. They just don't make games like this anymore.


I own the remastered Pirates! game. I have been looking at Tempest, but I just don't have the time to play anything. I can't believe there isn't another game like Uncharted Waters out there. KOEI used to make some excellent/amazing games. I wonder what happened to that studio. Bringing back some childhood memories!

The first step is to finish the UI and the towns controller. I Love Sid games really and I played them since long time, over other modern games.

I'm doing a huge grid worldmap streamed where the players can know their location and interact between them. Also the Phaelax pathfinder is cool to improve the enemies AI. I did a little collision editor but I'm a bit far so release it until -at least- the UI is done. It's pretty basic but fun anyways.

Any feedback will be appreciated. Also your comments are welcome and any credits for the contributions. I'm stucked doing a responsive Dialogs UI, but I hope to start adding the towns logic asap.

I would like to share the dialogs engine soon(tm) in a new thread. Pretty simple but scalable.

Sorry being slow, I had so much backlog , but the summer is coming

I have a debt with this game since a few years ago.

Proof of concept

A pirate RTS? You have my attention. I've always wanted to make one, but I've never managed to actually finish one.

Thanks!, I need to finish a couple of things that posted in our forums and I'll start to publish the game concept; your feedback always is welcome

I did many things, like collect Town names, Ships properties , Goodies, UI Options, from Sid's game, and I would like to store the dialogs -did all of them-, the main idea is to make it configurable with JSON, at least.

Since I was playing a few years a great multiplayer version (http://worldofpirates.net/) I've adding some improvements from there.

My idea is to make a common logic, UI and Game controller, and next port the view to 3D reusing a few 2D parts. Step by step.

Really hyped! @janbo

Reopening this thread, I'm working on this since a few weeks ago with a different perspective.

You will have news soon (TM)
