Those are clearly traits. "Blind" skill would be weird.

[Anvilfolk]

Well, he would board as enthusiastically as if there were very few people - gotta count for something, right?

[Levi]

Ah man.  Now I want a crew of 50 blind pirates with darts.

Those are clearly traits. "Blind" skill would be weird.

It could be an ability that makes enemies blind. You know, like the spell in the Final Fantasy games.

[Vitali]

Blind actually makes you miss like 10% of the time, atleast for now and it is passive

[alexpoysky]

Ah yes. te traits. You guys pick apart every screenshot really well haha!

Did you know there world generates based on a VERY choose your own adventure (Or King Of Dragon Pass) style beggining? We will TRY and put as much of that rampant storytelling into the rest of the game but won't be able to do so until a few more CORE features are in.

It'd be very nice to have those CYOA moments in the game where you go to board a ship and can

A:) Board at night due to your first mate having the AMBUSH skill and your CAP'N having the nigh sailing skill
B:) Flat out board
C:) Go in cannons blazing for ship to ship combat
D:) Negotiate
E:) Act like you are negotiating and when they send their captain over to do so, capture him and hold him hostage

Just examples, mind you, none of this is IN yet, but we plan on it!

If you manage to make it possible to pull off some elaborate combination of, that would be awesome.
(Eg. Pretend to negotiate. Take captain hostage. Wait for raid, establishing traps/ambushes for when they arrive. Counterattack whilst they're away, stealing their ship. Use their equipment to take them out. Have multiple ships. Profit.   <- there are many suggestions in there. Most are probably highly unrealistic, so core stuff first )

[Graknorke]

So with the 'early bird' trait and the mentioned 'nigh sailing' one, I take it we'll be getting a day/night cycle and schedules for our pirates?

[alexpoysky]

YES, there IS a day/night cycle

[Deon]

I believe captains with nigh sailing trait should be able to drive through narrow passages and reefs easily during any weather, right?

[Iceblaster]

E:) Act like you are negotiating and when they send their captain over to do so, capture him and hold him hostage

Hey look! You are thinking of using my suggestion. That makes me feel all fuzzy inside

Anyways. I can't wait for this to come out and, while I may not get it immediatly, I plan on finding the money to get it when it does

Sorry for the "lull" in info. Prepping for GamesCom.

Let's just say there are some very interesting things coming up, wish me luck on the 22nd!

[alexpoysky]

Phew! That was productive AND fun, the only problem is I threw my back out and am taking it easy for a few days, but general reception to Pixel Piracy is overwhelmingly positive among developers AND publishers.

Thank you all for the support!

Get better soon - and I'm hoping there'll be new content after GamesCon
