Still in development.

[h3lblad3]

I thin thegoatgod_pan just wants it to be in development on their computer.

[alexpoysky]

Just popping back in to let you know work is still coming along. Pathfinding mostly so no new screenies to show. But I don't want to be the kind of dev that just fails to update due to lack of pretty screenshots.

Better pathfinding translates to quicker movement and displacement, meaning you can expect the game itself to be a bit more fluid and less "janky", which is something that often characterises roguelikes in general, I know. We want it to be as smooth as possible while offering as much "crazy" as possible.

Don't worry I'll post screens as they become available!

More improvement that 1-2 hundred pirates at once? Wow. This should be impressive

It's more like the way they handle climbing ladders so that it doesn't lag out

GIVEAWAY INSTRUCTIONS:

For the next six, yes SIX weeks, I'm hosting a giveaway wherein each week I will randomly give away games of my choosing from GamersGate's catalogue. These may or may not be Steam games, and I'll pick the winners at random. The participants HAVE to be a part of either my twitter @alexpoysky or @pixelpiracy's following (if you follow both you have higher possibilities) or be following our indiedb feed via posts, OR (AND THIS ONE IS ESPECIALLY TAILORED TO THE BAY12 CROWD that doesn't like to retweet or help in any form outside of the forum) if you post anything on this post following the announcement on page nine.

A HUGE round of applause to GamersGate for finding out I was a part of this project and instead of gving me the stinkeye (remember, I work as their content manager!) they decided to help promote the game outright! KUDOS to Gus, Theo, Daniel and all the crew back in Sweden!

Yay, best for luck guys and thanks you Alex for this giveaway

[pilgrimboy]

Would love some Pixel Piracy. Thanks for doing this.

[BuriBuriZaemon]

Any plan for taking pre-orders??

[Shadowgandor]

Awesome! The guys at Gamersgate are awesome for helping you like this. Hope it works out for you Alex!

[GrayFox]

I'm a big fan of FTL, though I'm not very good at normal difficulty.
So... this looks like it'll be a really fun game! I hope I win.

[alexpoysky]

We DO have HUGE plans for pre-orders but can't talk about it, I can tell you more AFTER GamesCom.

The first game we will be handing out will be Port Royale 3! Won't say when, but I'll announce the winner

[alexpoysky]

Keep posting as I'll include people until the last second!

[scrdest]

So GamersGate is giving you free publicity by giving away their games if someone basically acknowledges Pixel Piracy's existence? That's... wow. I have an account there, but I didn't realize they are that awesome.

Question, because I am undergoing a rather financially strainful period, how much do you plan the game will cost?

[alexpoysky]

Pixel Piracy? Dunno, but I'll give you a free copy if we get on steam, hows that sound? HOLD me to that promise, in fact here, just because you have a financial situation, and since you are so direct about it, I'm giving you a free copy of Port Royale 3 that wasn't even in the giveaway, this is my own copy of it I'm buying for you. Hit me up via PM or @alexpoysky for it!
