Hello! As I am still currently game designing my current project, Pirates of the Dead Seas, I have run out of ideas.
Ideas I already have
Things I want to achieve with the game mechanics
Things you can provide
Clothes and accessories to customize the pirate
Thank you for reading!
I don’t see parrot’s listed, maybe you could do a parrot shoulder pet that follows you, but instead of it walking it’ll be flying.
YES, if you are having a pirate game, you have to have the Parrot.
This is a pet mechanic. We are planning this for a future update!
You have thought about putting monkeys, people you can rescue and instead they protect you or that there are enemies and when you defeat them they give you styles and with that you can unlock islands, clothes or buy people who help you who are NCPs.
I hope my comment will serve you.
I know it will be a good game.
Have you thought about doing it with other devs that would help you get the game out earlier.
Yes, monkeys count as pets. But protecting npcs is a good idea!
well what I meant is that for example they are dying, you rescue them and instead they join you, I mean they protect you.
Are you doing the game by yourself or do you have a team?
Well, you could add the ability for players to create clans, and make their own ships. You can also add raids on different islands for players to attempt.
How about some islands with npcs and buildings so you could raid them and collect loot? That would be cool. (in my opinion)
In every single game, there must be something the players are constantly working for. , usually the players play a lot to get the item they are looking for; then, just show it off to the server. People like to have unique or special items, so they can be recognized y the other people
Going of RealisticWaves and some other replies you could make a pet system with a different type of pirate-related animals like the parrot, money or maybe even a rat! These could be found while exploring islands or brought from larger towns in shops!
This brings me onto my second concept for your game, adding large islands with villages and towns you could use this picture for inspiration, ideas or an understanding of what I mean! This also means you can add an economy on your game with the ability to make developer products to potentially buy coins.
