This rawks!

Yes. Finally!! :D

Gratulerer skjalg og dere andre for å ha kommet så langt ^^ stå på :D

Translation. Congratulation Skjalg And the others for getting this far ^^ Keep it up :D

btw skjalg was in my class when we grew up ^^

Hell yeah!

Hi dudes!

Awesome work!
By the way, I was wondering how many months this “prototype” (well let’s say demo :) ) took to be done ?

Cheers

Hi Guillaume,
thanks for the kind words! :)
Soenke has worked on this for almost 2 years in his spare time. Skjalg joined at the beginning of this year to provide coding assistance, same for Michael who is onboard since June/July. So this has been in development for a while, but also a “one man show” for the longest time!
We get that “this should be called a demo” comment a lot by the way ;)

Thanks for your answer :)
2 years is not too much, especially if it was not fulltime. I’m really impressed :)
Keep up dudes!

I’ve been seeing some amazing things done in Unity up lately, but this prototype takes the cake! :)

Please make the game! :D

Great prototype, simply loved it :-D

Just to confirm one thing, this was done with Unity free, right?

Yes. Back in the days it was called the “indie license” but it is completely free now.

Played it, loved it :)

It’s a great pirates world, it remind me Skies of Arcadia and Zelda the wind waker. Good work guys !
