I want to create a new single player RPG. As you have probably guessed, it would be about Pirates, and it would be aptly named, A Pirate's Life For Me. At this point in time, I really haven't done too much work as far as acquiring models, triggering, terraining, and what not. I wanted to see if you guys think this game is worth playing first.
The player would start out as a lawful nobody pirate, in a large seaside town, that would be much like the infamous Port Royal. The player would do quests to gain money and reputation around the town, until eventually, you could buy a ship.
Now, buying a ship opens up a whole new world of opportunities for you. The game would consist of many many maps, some would simply be expanses of sea, with sharks, enemy ships, trader ships, etc. And others would be home to large towns and ports. Some maps may be only island as well.
Of course, there would also be pirate towns, the largest based off of the also infamous Tortuga. (By the way, in case you're wondering, I'm not simply getting these names from The Pirates of the Caribbean!)
Throughout the game, the player would gain reputation as a Buccaneer, Privateer, or Out and Out Pirate. (This way, the player could choose a path and specialize.) Quests would open up as the game progressed, as would new areas, and cinematics.
Eventually, upon gaining enough reputation, the player would be able to found pirate towns and plantations, as well as create an Armada, and become a Commodore. Of course, a Commodore can't be seen in some run down cheap ship from Port Royal. No, the more money the player has, the better ship they could acquire. I would also like to try to figure out a system where upon capturing an enemy ship, the player could choose to either destroy it, claim it as their own, or add it to their Armada(Provided they're far enough in the game.)
So in a nutshell, this game is sort of like Grand Theft Auto Pirate style. I would like to keep it rather Warcraft III like though, the same races and racial traits, etc. Hell, maybe even the same factions! I think it would be rather cool to make these the very seas of the World we all know and love. Anyway, give me some feedback, and any suggestions you have. Also, if you'd like to join me in the making of this map that would be much appreciated. I could always use custom mods and music. If you have any other services you would like to provide please don't hesitate to ask. I could also use people to come up with quests and such. Thanks for reading all this!
