New Pirate NPC's

This week John has been hard at work designing some of the new pirates that will be featured on these islands. So far we've got quite a number of new pirates you can expect to see on these islands. Some will include Pirate Herbalists, Brutes, Royal Guards, and even a Pirate King. These NPC's will all have their own unique loot tables and rewards for defeating. But beware, they will be tougher than any pirates you've faced before.









New Music





The Pirate King is a special pirate. So special in fact, that he gets his own music. This week I've been composing and designing new boss music for the Pirate King. I'm pretty proud of what we've got so far and I think you're going to like it. Boss music makes for much more epic battles and gives you a feeling of accomplishments. And trust me, killing a Pirate King will definitely feel like an accomplishment.









New Visuals





This week Robert has been heavily focused on planning and designing the visuals of the new islands. We won't give away too much yet until it's finalized, but these islands will unique compared to other islands. We always want you to be able to spot a particular island type from off shore and these islands are no exception.









Thanks for reading and let us know your thoughts!
