Developer Diary - Back on the Producer's Deck
For this month's Developer Diary, we decided to hit up our executive producer, Jason, again for an inside look, and some info, as to what's been going on in the second phase of Beta. Check out what he had to say about the state of the game, his feelings on Beta Phase 2, how he feels about being so close to the game's official launch, and any other random thoughts he felt inclined to share.
New Downloads - Get Into the Spirit of Spook!
We thought the Halloween season would be a perfect time to create an art pack filled with images that portray the frightening eeriness that is Jolly Roger and his undead crew! Download the art pack here.
Pirate Words of the Month
Clipper: A fast moving ship. If you see a clipper a comin' towards you, you should probably get out of the way. Either that, or man your cannons and unleash your fury!
Shark Bait: Anyone thrown overboard without a life jacket. Don't trust a pirate - if you're thrown overboard without a life jacket, you're about to feed the fish.
Stink Pot: Glass container that is first filled with rotten meat or other putrid items, then with gunpowder, and is then detonated. Basically, it's the pirate version of tear gas...smells so bad, it will make you cry.
Shiver: A wooden splinter. The timbers of a ship splintering during battle gave rise to the infamous pirate phrase, 'Shiver me timbers.'
Did You Know?
"Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" is the first 'Pirates' movie where Ragetti and Pintel actually have their names said.
Player Q&A
We've received some great feedback over the past few months - please, keep it coming! Check out the Player Q&A section of the Web site to find out what your fellow pirates are itchin' to know.
From Jeff: Can you create your own ship, as in placing where cannons, stairs, etc. are placed?
Not yet, but we are planning on expanding the game in the future to be able to customize what types of cannons, broadsides, prows and sails you have on your ship, as well as other cool ways to make your ship unique. Read More Player Q&A
