Idea Pitch - Pirate Ship Game

You play as a pirate ship in the golden age of piracy in the Caribbean, who's goal it is to battle, sink/disable and loot enemy vessels. 

3rd pres

In looting enemy vessels, you gain the resources to upgrade your ship an make it more powerful.

The ultimate goal would be to battle and sink four extremely powerful enemy ships. The only way to do this is to upgrade your ship by battling and looting other ships.

To ease production by increasing reuse of game elements:

A single sprite would be used for all ships including the player's. The ships will have minor differences to distinguish themselves from one another. The upgrades will also be simple e.g. The player can increase the number and damage level of their cannons, but the canons will all be the same sprite but will feature different colours to show that they are different. (level 1: Iron cannon, level 2: Bronze cannon etc.).
