Major breakthrough with Akella

New Engine, New Game Corsairs4, interesting to know Akella continues to make Pirate games, also wonder who the western publisher will be for City of Abondend ships or whatever the English version will be called <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

Greetings!

I'm on the team that's translating and editing Corsairs from Russian into English (localizing the text, if you will). I was told to swing around these parts if we had any questions or concerns regarding content we ran across. The first half is finished, and the second half we will be starting in a bit with the assistance of our friends at GameLocalization.net. The translation has been fairly straight so far, meaning that the translator was left studying a naval dictionary for hours on end. I think he still screams out 'AANNCCHOORR!!!' randomly. Poor guy.

I'm sure you'll be hearing from us soon!

Regards,
Ryan

Maybe you should give him an aviation dictionary as a change of subject - although, on second thought, he might loose whatever sanity is remaining <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
that poor guy actually sound a lot like me. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />
 
Is anyone else looking forwards to CoAS (or whatever it's to be called) - it'll be nice to have some new territory to explore!

@Ryan: It sounds like your team's been working like crazy - it'll be good to get some assistance <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
 
I will probly play COAS when it comes out. although Corsairs translation to English, is this add on to POTC ? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
It's a new game based on the Storm 2.5 engine made by seaward.ru, the same people who made the Russian Sea Legend Is Back add-on for PotC.
I am very much looking forward to it. It sounds a lot better than AoP has ever sounded to me. If the game is only half as good as it seems to be from what I've seen/read/heard about it, we'll be in for a treat. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
I guess there's never been any mention of something like a pirate 3-pack coming out after the release of CoAS? I was thinking Sea Dogs, POTC, and AOP all in one box - maybe it would draw more people into pirate games? It would also let people like me have the chance to play Sea Dogs (or for some, POTC as well).

I'm probably just having some wishful thinking though. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />
 
We need to send seaward.ru another e-mail. Could everybody who has any questions you would like to ask them please post them here?
 
Hi.

I would like to request from them, an example of a character,... setup in Maya, similar to the one they gave us for the ships.

Also, picture examples of the export options panels for vrml and gm exporting, showing what should be selected and what the proper path is (in the textures part of vrml export options panel).

How do you get the characters hands to work again.

Cheers
damski.
 
City of Abandoned Ships, I suppose? There is no official release date as of yet.

When can we hope to see City of Abandoned Ships released?

Akella’s translating the game and planning to release that to the international market in Q2-Q3 this year.

Thanks. Looks good to me. I'm really looking forward to this game. I expect it'll be the best pirate game released for a long while. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />

Hi,
Pieter,
we don' look to be getting any response here, do you think it might be better placed elsewhere ,
i.e. sticky a thread in a modding sub forum , PoTC or CoAS. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
