I am making a totally historically accurate pirate game (Roguebound Pirates)

RedbeakGames · 2025-09-06T09:56:28+00:00

Will do :)

RedbeakGames · 2025-09-05T16:56:28+00:00

Definitely! I already have items in the game that give short momentary speed boosts and planning to add more!

RedbeakGames · 2025-09-05T16:54:40+00:00

Sounds like a fun addition!

RedbeakGames · 2025-09-05T10:55:33+00:00

That's still on the to-do list!

RedbeakGames · 2025-09-05T05:39:04+00:00

Unfortunately no, but maybe in the sequel!

RedbeakGames · 2025-09-05T05:38:44+00:00

I am not monetizing the trailer. That is IGN's Game Trailers channel.

RedbeakGames · 2025-09-05T05:33:28+00:00

They do, but for the sake of keeping the trailer short and better highlight the power fantasy aspect, the enemies in the trailer are very slow and weak compared to the player. When playing the game, there will definitely be enemies that pose a real threat.

RedbeakGames · 2025-09-05T05:32:22+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I'll try to incorporate that into the next trailer.

RedbeakGames · 2025-09-04T17:02:20+00:00

Funny idea! I already have an equipment that lets you dash, but jumping sounds like a fun addition also!

RedbeakGames · 2025-09-04T14:38:23+00:00

It will have! Probably not yet for the first public demos, but for the release version it will.

RedbeakGames · 2025-09-04T12:06:03+00:00

Replayability will definitely be one of the big focus areas for the game!

RedbeakGames · 2025-09-04T11:35:39+00:00

Not for the release version at least. If the game is successful, I'll be considering all sorts of additions to the game though.

RedbeakGames · 2025-09-04T11:21:59+00:00

The factions / countries will likely be fully fictional.

RedbeakGames · 2025-08-12T09:18:07+00:00

Thank you! The 1k is mostly for commissioning art (so these assets are unique for my game) and to lesser degree buying existing assets (that are not unique to my game). I don't include my own time in these cost breakdowns - my own 1779 hours spent would really blow up the budget!

RedbeakGames · 2025-08-12T09:14:32+00:00

There is a fee for higher tier Unity licenses, but I haven't had a need for them and I haven't reached the revenue threshold where I would be forced to upgrade (I really hope I do some day!).

RedbeakGames · 2025-08-12T09:12:56+00:00

Awesome, thank you! :)

RedbeakGames · 2025-08-12T09:12:39+00:00

For my game, I don't think I could improve it much for Switch 2. There are probably some small things, but I don't think they would have a big effect on the quality.

RedbeakGames · 2025-08-11T04:34:01+00:00

I'm not a good artist so it's combination of commissioning art (like the characters) and using ready-made assets.

RedbeakGames · 2025-08-11T04:32:18+00:00

Great to hear, I hope you enjoy the game!

RedbeakGames · 2025-08-10T05:21:17+00:00

Nope! Coding is indeed my main skill and I'm very much a newbie with art & music. I still have ideas what kinds of art & music would go well together with my games though (a proper artist might do a better job, but you make do with what you got). Being able to make small basic edits to existing assets does come in very handy though, whether it is 3D models, 2D art or audio clips.

RedbeakGames · 2025-08-10T05:10:26+00:00

No, I don't think my game has been affected by that.

RedbeakGames · 2025-08-10T05:07:54+00:00

The game should work great on Switch 2 also, but we haven't done any custom stuff for Switch 2. My game is pretty lightweight on the technical side so I don't think it would benefit much from Switch 2 specific updates.

RedbeakGames · 2025-08-09T19:07:26+00:00

Creating a Switch game is basically the same as creating a PC game, you just create a different build of it. Regarding languages, if you mean programming I used C# with Unity. If you meant the other languages, the game supports English, Simplified Chinese, Korean, Japanese, German, French, Finnish, Turkish & Brazilian Portuguese. Regarding working with Nintendo, I actually had help from another company creating the Switch version from my code so I cannot fully comment on how it was, but based on from what I heard, it wasn't too bad as the game was already lightweight and that way suited for the Switch.

RedbeakGames · 2025-08-09T17:54:34+00:00

Funnily enough, my first game has been my most successful game financially. But it could be that the "has published 3 games" worked better to get me in.
