    Return of the Obra Dinn

    Not a pirate game - its the first age of sail mystery i've ever heard of and just released on Steam - but sure looks good. Dark, minimalist artwork - check out the trailer. Got some very good reviews so I am downloading now. Return of the Obra Dinn Return of the Obra Dinn on Steam

    Gunfire in September update

    The update is great, love the FPS view. I cannot seem to get my guns to fire though. - In FPS view I can depress the guns (the icont depressses, the guns dont) but when i press fire no smoke, etc. - In outside view I cannot fire at all.

    FPS after salvos

    I love the cannon port opening - and I know in the current version there is no limit on reloading time. On my system when I fired off 4 or 5 salvos in succession the game performance deteriorated badly, i.e. slideshow. It did not recover, even after i sailed on and the smoke had dissipated...

    Sails furl speed

    If you hit left or right on the keyboard (A,D) as the sails are unfurling or furling they jump to the correct position immediately. If you do this a couple of times, you start to get strange combination so of sails, possibly a feature?

    Scourge of War: Waterloo

    A shameless plug for a game I have helped on - Scourge of War: Waterloo. It is out on June 11th, one week before the battle. Not quite Pirates but black powder, cannon, muskets, sabres - just on land! http://www.matrixgames.com/news/1676/Scourge.of.War:.Waterloo.is.coming.on.June. Some of you...

    There was some mention of a playable tech demo before the engine switch was made - was that parked?

    Weather sim

    I posted this link ages back but can't find the thread anywhere. We had a big discussion on modelling wind. Anyway - just a quick update I thought people might like to see, they have now added significant wave height and wave period to the model. In the 'Mode' tab, change it from Air to Ocean...

    New Build

    The PC specs survey had an influence on me.... Just ordered the parts for a new PC, so I would appreciate it if HOOCOTS was ready in the next 5 days. Thanks:yes

    Duelling

    Nice update - I loaded the Hunters Moon Common Testbed and although the floating sword made quick work of me they are interesting duelling mechanics. Kind of remind me of Mount and Blade. Any more info on what way you are thinking of going for HOOCOTS?

    HOO Testing

    I'm a gamer who ended up volunteering to help out on 3 or 4 software releases but I would like to offer some advice if you will take it. Because you aren't charging for HOO you have a great opportunity for making a really solid project and speeding development up by changing how you test the...

    Best place for updates?

    I hope it's ok to post this here - I don't see many other threads by non-team members. But where is the one-stop-shop for news or progress updates? Somewhere that will have all new image, videos or concept art before anywhere else? Right now I alternate between 1. this forum 2. you tube 3...

    Stuff falling overboard

    Usually in a battle you see goods in the water that fell out of an enemy ship. Did they get knocked out from cannon fire or are they throwing stuff overboard to lighten themselves? If cannon fire, do you lose things too?

    Ships colours

    Flags and the ability to change them are a really great idea. I changed flag to pirate in stock. The pirates still follow you and sit on you, so i lured three of them into a port, then changed my flag back. Me and the fort did quite a bit of damage, but after that ships when i hoisted the...

    Enjoying my game - but no mod installed.

    Should I go back? I'm only level 3. The few bugs I have encountered aren't game breakers for me. The reason why I ask is this mod in the first video looks great http://www.piratesahoy.net/threads/the-coas-cannon-ballistics-model-really-isnt-that-bad.19783/ Plus I have graphics anomalies...

    Enter port

    How do you enter port when there are enemies nearby? I was racing a few enemies towards barbados - i made it to safety well in advance of them - 5 or more ship lengths. But the 'grappling' icon was showing, so i couldnt moor. They ended up engaging me in the harnour -0 so the fort knocked the...
