You know, I'm not too keen on them either. I think we can change them a tad

[Vitali]

How death effect should sound??

"Oh nooo", "Auch", then head rolls out.

[Sirus]

Use the Wilhelm scream?

[Deon]

Wilhelm scream.

[alexpoysky]

We'll take your constructive criticism to heart guys, looking into new death cries now

[nenjin]

Sword sfx sound awesome, I like the variation and how metal-y it is.

Gun sfx sound really weak by comparison. Not bad on their own, but they don't rise to the level of quality or volume of the swords. If these are ye olde black powder weapons, they should have Hollywood-style booms instead of pops. Not like, cannon loud. But something you can hear that punctuates the sword fighting.

Alternatively, you could just make the sword fighting sfx quieter.

[Anvilfolk]

I feel like the metal sounds on scraping swords is a little too long. I mean, if we're going to have dozens of guys on screen fighting, it's going to be really loud, permanent, and hard to parse. Perhaps some quicker sounds might make it easier to understand what is going on and reduce sound pollution

[Shadowgandor]

I'd probably like the sounds a lot better if the sword volume would be lowered a bit. That or raise the volume of the guns by quite a bit.

The death-screams have already been explained by others, so I don't have much to say about that, only that I agree with the feedback

Strange. Pixel Piracy was in my dreams last night. I was playing it and having a good time. I bet it was some sort of prophetic-future predicting dream.

[alexpoysky]

BAM and just like that Pilgrimboy gets a free copy of Risen 2 Dark Waters woohoo

[pilgrimboy]

Thank you, alexpoysky. And i hope Pixel Piracy does gangbusters for you. I'm looking forward to it from everything you have shared here.

New Elevator Pitch for the game!

In Pixel Piracy, you are the invisible hand controlling and guiding a pirate crew through a Caribbean world where everything is procedural. Recruit a crew, outfit and customize your ship and set sail on the open seas. There you’ll use any combination of aggression, diversion and trade to become the most infamous pirate crew of the seven seas! You can raid, pillage and plunder everything in your path, divert and lie to get what you want or trade for a quick buck. Remember to be careful though, death is everywhere and quite permanent! Adventure awaits…

[Meta]

Maybe a little bit early for such a question, and I may have missed a possible answer somewhere, but do you intend the game to have a main quest, maybe akin to the one of SPAZ, at least in how it worked?

I don't like being an invisible hand I think "you control and guide a pirate crew" would work better. Perhaps Caribbean-like procedurally generated world.

Also, the game looks tongue-in-cheek enough that perhaps the description should also have some tongue-in-cheekness as well

[Deon]

It would be amazing if some time in the future "main quest" would be procedurally generated too . Then every game would be unique.

I hope to see more of a "main quest dictated by what happened" though. Like, you find mentioning of a grand treasure and scout multiple islands to find deatails about the map. Then you go and get the treasure. But BAMM, a dreadful curse! Then you look for a way to dispel it. Something like that. You can decide not to look for treasure and do something else, or not to disable curse and become a cursed ship like Flying Hollander... Man am I dreaming too much?
