why are pirates so damn cool?

[Xobie]

I'm in the process of making a new game about the pirate Francis Drake, who was told to raid spanish ships by queen Elizabeth, and eventually sailed around the world, second to do so after Magellen. After he returned, he had raided above 600000 pounds (1200000$) worth of treasures, which was more than double the queen's income per year. Playing as Francis Drake, you can raid spanish treasuries, go to your island, and solve problems of the other pirates and get paid for it, and even eventually take over England if you wish, the entire game would be extremely wide open in terms of mission advancement, and would feature lots of beautiful islands, full of wildlife and such. It's more number/varibles work than anything else, but will be worth it.
So why are pirates superior?

and would feature lots of beautiful islands

Just a question...are you making this for RPG Maker 3?!?! There are no ships, and the characters cannot walk across water....so how do you propose they get from island to island?

But on topic...

As stated above, this really would work best on 2.

Unless you have discovered some amazing new trick for 3!

If so... Please share!

Peace.

Because Pirates are like the Redneck-Ninjas of the seas!

Re: why are pirates so damn cool?

yeah, iv'e done alot of planning for this because i cant get around to accually working on it, I would love to have it orriented around sea exploration, but the best i can get is talking to your buddy, and asking his if your ready to sail, fade out, sail music, fade in on island, etc...
Or even having a ship display model would work, I was wondering how to have the player check a map to see where he is, or at least look at a picture that resembles the world.

The only way I know to do that is to ...

Use RPGM2.

Sorry, but that really is the only way!

Why is Rodak so damn cool?

...wait... Isn't that an oxymoron like "Jumbo Shrimp" or the "Mail Lady" cuz aren't ninjas supposed to be secretive and cool and aren't rednecks like a promoted version of white-trash? I don't really think any part of that made any sense cuz pirates aren't secretive white-trash...
(that's right, even the cow is mad)

Re: why are pirates so damn cool?

xobie, I think what Rodak said once applies here

You can't really go into RPGM3 with to many preconcieved ideas, You have to see what can be done and work with the limitations, although some limitations can be worked around with a little creativity.

A game like the one you propose will have to suffer a lot of compromises.
So many compromises that the original vision may be completely lost.

Re: why are pirates so damn cool?

My last rpgm1 game had to do with pirates. Cursed Desires.

Re: why are pirates so damn cool?

I prefer ninjas.

When is someone going to create a Pirates Vs Ninjas game?

We'll, you would be surprised, I thought so too, but with enough creativity, finding a way around those road blocks is fun. I got a great portion of the game done, and I'm not sure because I don't know you too well, but I think you would be proud on how I managed to get around these seamingly huge limitations, it really works quite well, and when I figure out how to put games on here, I'll put it up for downloading, you'll see, you'll all see!

I like your attitude bro
I have come up with some pretty cool work arounds
as well, but You have to admit, some of the limitations cannot be worked around, due to 3's
extreme inflexability

It's true, there are points that I just completly replace because of the system's lack of diversity, that's why I come to this site. I'm stumped, so I come here, post it up, and wait for other people's ideas to inspire me towards a new goal, or help me around the roadblock.
