After watching the Netflix adaptation of One Piece, Pirates have been top of mind for me. With the Godot Game Jam taking place this week I teamed up with my friend jhwj9617 to see if we could create a fun pirate-themed survival crafting game. What we settled on was a game we call Pirate Craft!

Pirate Craft is a fairly simple game. The evil pirate king has destroyed your ship and crew, you must sail around, plunder islands, chests, and castles for resources, and build the greatest ship on the high seas.

We are both programmers, so our art is not great, however, we were able to program quite a few mechanics into the game during the past week.

• A Randomly Generated World
• Dynamically generated events
• Turn-based combat
• A complete boat-building system (cannons, armor, decking, masts, crew)
• A simple day and night cycle

Pirate Craft is free in your browser and on PC. Attached are a few screenshots to give you an idea of what the game is like.

We hope you enjoy the game!

I really enjoyed working with you on this.

It was cool seeing this come together from inception to completion.

I particularly loved the intuitive ship-building feature.

Even for a simple game, I underestimated the difficulties in finding the right game-balance for combat/resource-allocation that gave both a challenging and rewarding experience. Seeking feedback from play-testing was important in finding that balance.

In the game, in came together nicely, and looking forward to see what's others' experiences with it are like.
