A question to Alex, would it be possible to make hull blocks to tile together to form an "outline" of a ship? I mean make tile transitions. I don't really like the current look of the both versions of base blocks for the ship .

P.S. I mean like this:

Tiling is possible my friend


Here is some new screenshots!

Did we go back to the washed out look in those images?

[Vitali]

I am not sure, if you want you can disable those in a options, i myself prefer to have them enabled.

[alexpoysky]

Yeah, by popular demand we have it put back in with the option to take it out. In other words, everyone is appeased

Also, did you notice the COINS at the bottom of that one pic? Next to the WANTED POSTER?

[Deon]

That is a WANTED POSTER?

Seriously though, great looks. I just dislike how palms are so thick; I mean it's obviously they are made with a much bigger brush (or rather scaled more), so other nice pixelated things look much more detailed, and tree-covered background stands out too much. What is that blue stuff in the bottom screenshot on the left? Looks like a winged creature to me (and I just noticed its baby hiding behind a tree, to the left of the fence on the same screenshot).

[alexpoysky]

About trees.....

Do you think that with a randomization engine as robust as ours we will limit ourselves to a single archetype of tree? MUAAAAAAHAHAH POOR FOOOLS WE WILL HAVE DOZENS OF TREE TYPES, STALK TYPES, FRUIT TYPES AND COLOR PALLET SWAPS TO KEEP YOU ENGAGED FOR MONTHS MUAAAAAAHAHAHA..

wait what just happened?

[Deon]

I think that happened, you ignored that I mentioned tree outlines and went for "BUT WE HAVE VARIETY" reply ignoring the problem... Which means you are becoming a great PR worker, grats .

[alexpoysky]

Hahhahaha, pretty much. TBH the outlines can also change, so if it's something that IS an issue, we'll take it to heart

PLEASE say that enemies will attempt to steal your coins during boarding actions. Any pirate knows the value of protecting his booty!

@ Sirus ................................................ yes

Hype acquired, posting to watch.

I kinda agree with Deon: bigger pixels generally mean that objects are closer, not in the background like those trees. I wondered if it could be better when animated, so I rewatched the teaser several times (btw, I discovered that you also published another combat prototype that I had not seen), but it did not help me decide whether or not trees with a better resolution would look better. So... yeah... I don't know.

[Deon]

I will make trees with "better resolution" soon and we will see .

Not sure how well would it all look in the actual engine though.

[alexpoysky]

You know what?

Deon, hit me up via skype. I'll get you a small build of the game, so you can see what it's like in action
