Puzzle Pirates Done, Walking Plank To Release

Posted by simoniker on from the one-pirate-story-per-day dept.

Spuggy writes "Ahoy mates! Yohoho! Puzzle Pirates (originally mentioned a few months back on Slashdot Games) now has an official launch date of December 8th, 2003 - it's available in Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X flavors, and has been playable in Beta form for a while now. For those of you who have still not tried the game out, Puzzle Pirates is an interesting marriage of several puzzle games and aspects of a MMORPG; but instead of your typical hack & slash of EverQuest, you perform various single/multiplayer 2D puzzles to power your boat, craft various goods in the game, and even fight your fellow players and a series of NPC Brigand boats who threaten your voyages across the ocean!"

  1. A little more info by Spuggy · · Score: 4, Informative

    This game really is great; if you sign up now before the December 8th Release date, you can get 2 years of the game for $50. It's definitely filled the void in Linux gaming for myself and all for the price of a PS2 game that I get sick of in 2 weeks; not to mention being able to see some of my ideas and features be implemented into the game

    The devels really are great, they're constantly active on the forums and in game; not to mention that they actually listen to the players (for example, there were quite a few complaints that there weren't enough Brigands (NPP boats) out there for you to pillage, so the devels made a few changes to the game so you now see consistently more Brigands on the waters).

    I highly recommend that you go check it out; for anyone new to the game, feel free to look me up in game for any help or info "/tell spuggy". I also recommend that you get involved in the social aspect of the game, which as a previous poster said, ranks right up there as one of the best features of the game.

    Cheers, hope to you see you all there.
