I just discovered the build/new Horizons mod recently and am blown away by the effort put into it and teeming with excitement to try it! I live on a farm in the Canadian rocky mountains so Internet here isn't quick to download.
I played the original PoTC game back in 2003 when I was 10 years old. I adored the game but hated the lack of character selection, the fact that there was an "ending" to the sandbox mode, and dreamed of the possibility of direct sail. As I grew up I always assumed there'd be a sequel or, well, someone would produce a commercial pirate game with all the features PoTC Build/Horizons has. But it never came, and never came. Recently the urge to play a good pirate game returned and I kept googling, looking for for one. Then I saw a Kotaku article discussing the 10 years of modding for PoTC and I knew I had to check it out.
Anyhow, I want to express gratitude to the team & persons who put their time into this incredible project. I'm sure you all did it for your own reasons, but you literally created a 10 year olds dream. I used to wish as a kid I could tell game developers what to do, to have the games I always wanted to play, and you guys went ahead and did exactly what I would of wanted.
