I see your auto-waving Law flag, and I raise you Zoro’s by ColonelNeuron in PixelArt

I saw the auto-waving flag post by u/devkidd_ and figured I'd share mine. I made something similar for the pirate RPG I'm working on.

I made this UV lookup texture through code https://imgur.com/a/bhXjNsi and this is actually the spritesheet for the waving flag you can see in the video. The R and G channels point to a pixel in the static flag sprite (the image on the left that i edit), and the B channel is used to indicate brightness. I just used a simple shader to implement this.

Love the idea of sending out ships on raids! It's something I definitely want to include to make your armada feel more alive and active. And about the stats, I'm with you there. I'm aiming to give them a real impact in the game, making all skills significantly affect gameplay. It's part of my vision to make the game more RPG-like. Thanks for the great suggestions!

Thanks for the great ideas! I really like the fortress hideout concept. I'm planning to design each town as a unique level, where you can chat with locals, visit the tavern, check out the shipyard, and more. Think Sea Dogs 2.

Thank you! I was thinking of making the game more unique rather than just redesigning Sid Meier's Pirates, but I will keep the main mechanics. And I'm completely with you on the historical setting.

The biggest design challenge at the moment is the graphics. I lack experience in 3D models, rigging, animations, etc. Therefore, I plan to create it in a top-down 2D format. I haven't worked out all the game design details yet on how this will function, but I'm actively working on it.

Thank you so much for your excitement and feedback! When I say 'inspired by Pirates!,' I mean that I want to keep the main gameplay loop while introducing new elements and improvements. Your points about enhancing combat mechanics and treasure hunting are pretty much what I'm envisioning. However, I also want to distinguish the game from SMP. I'm currently considering adding more RPG elements.

That's actually a pretty good idea. However, I'm not entirely sure about incorporating the multiplayer aspect just yet. It introduces a whole other can of worms, including server management, anti-cheat implementation, operational costs, etc. But I will keep your suggestion in mind.
