A thirdperson action adventure game about space pirates !
...You know pirates ... but in space !
 
The game has been in development for almost 2 years now, but actual real productive full-time work has only happened for roughly 3 month so far. 
We are hoping to release a free prototype before the end of the summer! This prototype will include 3-4 levels and be beatable in roughly 20 minutes.
 
The point of this prototype is to gauge publics interest in the IP / art style / core mechanics. 
If people dont love it there is no point in wasting time and tons of money on making the full game! Since the game is made with Unity (Unity indie, that is! Yes all those shadows are hand painted); the platforms for the prototype are obviously going to be the PC, MAC and Webplayer! XBox Live Arcade, The PlayStation Network and WiiWare releases would only be for the full game!
 
So if you like what you see and want to help all you need to do is love it and show it to your friends and force them to love to ! True to the indie spirit you will of course also get something in return for your love, as we plan to freely release our self-built entity system, which allows non-programmers to setup complex and varied gameplay for all kinds of Unity games.

Quote:“Welcome to Volcano Island National Park! Please watch your steps as a volcano eruption is currently in progress. We kindly ask you not to remove any precious crystals or gold coins since this might disgruntle the indigenous Aliens inhabiting the volcano…”

Volcano Island

Lava. Aliens. The always present danger of falling into the void. Ahh what a lovely place for an excursion with the family. Soenke put a lot of time into polishing the interiors of this level recently and I’m here to show you some snapshots! The dungeon is going to be playable in the prototype by the way, so it won’t take too long until you can jump, swing and fight your way through these caves. Enjoy!

Cool game..I watched the trailer...Did you added some other pirates...it maybe it would be more interesting if you have some other characters...like the game One piece unlimited cruise 1 or 2 :)
But still good idea...I wanted to make pirates game or beyblade..but when I sow that there is no beyblade games at this site...I knew what to do

Those sounds from the coins remind me of my Game Boy pocket. Looks great: color, lighting, textures - only thing that's missing are shadows, but I guess you can't help Unity Licensing at this point.

I'm not very familiar with Unity, but I know a lot of games are browser-based. Is that a planned feature for your game as well?

We might use the browser playable feature for the prototype, for the full game this would require some more thinking and effort put into it. We would have to monetize the game somehow after all.
