This...looks...amazing Taking strategy to a whole new level on ios. Visually it's beautiful. Looks like yall got a few new / fresh mechanics up your sleeve! My pockets are full for this ^.^ , if you want a big paying customer. Id take a promote code to play early and help support production these types of games have a place in my heart. $.$
Eh not interested in multiplayer only type games (usually end up needing a lot of cash for those) but to be fair it looks great. It'll probably be a free social-type game? Anyhow, Best of luck
^THAT. I hope it doesnt end up being another freemium crap. I am already inclined to think this is freemium though. Freemium is the fastest way to distribute the game to increase the visibility and increase the number of players fast due to hints of this being an online game.
Hi guys! Glad you like the game. Many thanks! Plunder Pirates is a free-to-play game. We love games like Pocket Planes and Tiny Tower, and we believe they have shown how 'freemium' can be done properly and be fair to everyone. Regarding the multiplayer side of the game. This is the bit we are really excited about! We understand some players like to compete against other players, and that others are just happy if left alone playing single player quests and building awesome bases. But what if they could all come together and still collaborate in a Pirate Guild? This is where the exploration map comes into place: 'Fighters' can contribute to the guild by bringing Battle Points (BP), and 'Explorers' by bringing Exploration Points (EP). A good Pirate Guild will need plenty of both, so different types of players can contribute towards the same goal. And of course, nothing stops you from being a great fighter AND a great explorer! I don't want to go into much detail, but you can see these points in the screenshots, labelled as EP and BP. Another day I'll show how you can use them in a pirate Guild, and how being in a Guild will help you going up the ranks Thanks again!
I seriously cannot wait to get my hands on this! It's going to be a good year for games coming up in 2014.
Hope this bad boy lands on my phone soon ^.^ I can't hardly wait. I've watched the trailer daily. Doesn't compare to any strategy game out. Plus everybody knows pirates run the show. Hehe
Cheers guys! Some recent screenshots taken on an iPhone 5 This is my current base after playing for a few days. I've upgraded quite a few buildings, and already managed to build a Guild Hall. I also have a couple of gun towers and a bunker protecting my Pirate Hall. Bunkers are pretty powerful but you have to rotate them and point them in the right direction. Here you can see how much I've explored so far. The map is huge and it'll definitely take me a while to get to the edge, although there's been plenty to plunder: sea monsters, enemy ships, single-player fights and even grog and gold mines. And here I'm plotting a new exploration route that will take me straight to that enemy ship. The red bar on the top-right corner is the Exploration Energy. Each map tile uses some of it, and bigger ships will allow you to travel further out. This is, pretty much, as far as I can go with my tiny Cutter! I definitely need to upgrade it soon!
-_- I .. Must ... Play Sounds absolutely amazing! I love the explore mechanic, I have a feeling this games gonna be pretty big. Most of these strategy games are getting boring / repetitive and this looks so unique. Awesome 3d visuals as well. Let me know as soon as an early build is available! Keep the screenshots & videos coming!
We've done a lot of progress in the last couple of weeks. We are almost ready for a soft launch! In the meanwhile, I present you... The Buccaneer! Trusty, reliable, battle ready and occasionally sober, he's your go-to guy for all nautical mischief making. More coming soon!
Crap, it's free-to-play. I refuse all freemium, but the game looks nice and I hope it does well for you. Best of luck!
