Hi, How do you play the downloaded version of the game?
The game looks great so far but keeps freezing on me when I play on Firefox.
I tried to download the game to fix the freezing but once I download it I am not sure how to play it. I extracted the zip file and I see game.aslx. How do you play the downloaded game?
Thank you in advance!

Only one thing: once you get good enough (70+ hull, 5+ armor, 20+ cannons), it can be a little boring, because you beat every ship and harpoon every whale while barely losing things. I took out the leviathan and only lost 5 hull because I had 120 hull to start out the fight. Please update

If you save a lot it won’t freeze, which is good. I also really love the gameplay but I am not very happy that one pirate ship almost destroyed my 13 cannon ship with 5 armor and 50 hull strength, while the other ship had 2 armor, 20 hull strength and 8 cannons. It was weak, mine was powerful, yet I now only have 5 cannons after that battle. I was 10 time more powerful, and yet it still almost destroyed me. HOW. IS. THIS. POSSIBLE. Lower the power level of an 8 cannon ship please.

Comment Amos777

03 Jun 2018

Excellent, well thought out, RPG-type game which, however, is still in need of a hell lot of work. Game freezes too often which totally wrecks the experience, there is really no proper game ending (simply achieving all the accolades doesn't necessarily count as a end - it's really up to you to decide when the game is actually over, which sucks), enemies not leveling up with you and the pathetic scenario-based drawings. Honestly, I'm very surprised that a game so good as this one has zero attention now from its own developer, which is a incomplete injustice to this game's immense potential.

Review Stripes

23 Nov 2017

Okay, so, I just found this site, but I've been playing interactive novels for years, not to mention that video games were half my childhood. Anyway, I died pretty early in the game-- my ship was torn apart by pirates during my second sailing trip-- but I've seen enough of the style of gameplay, and... well, I just don't like it. No story, no characters, nothing to talk about. I came here for an enthralling tale of complex characters seeking adventure, and I was disappointed. I dunno, maybe I expected too much. That said, I can see the amount of work put into this, and I commend you for that. To me, though, the game is too stat-heavy and feels less like a story than it should.

First time playing. I have some notes for if anyone reads these. The game gets pretty tedious at a certain point, since enemy ships don't level up along with you and everything becomes quite easy. I really only kept playing at this point to get the achievements. Speaking of which, there should at least be some sort of notification when you get an achievement. Anyways, the game shows promise, just needs to be better fleshed out and for God's sake get some better pictures.

Here comes some not so high-level stats from a guy playing this game for the first time. Died after visiting a few cities.

In the final battle (an epic event) the opposing ship cam to have around -10 cannons at the end. Negative cannons??? Didn't seem to matter, anyway.

How do you load a saved game

Comment thethirdperson

15 Jun 2017

Some suggestions to give (even though you have probably stopped working on this game). 1. How about after you loot a city 3 times, it ceases to exist and is just an empty spot on the map. You can still go there but there are no buildings or people in it.
2. However, you can rebuild the city by paying some gold and sending some crew members to the island. Anytime next time you visit, you would be given a sum of money by the mayor and the harbormaster would work at reduced prices. You would have to prevent the town from getting pillaged by pirates.
3. Important ships would have fleets following them. For example, the Behemoth would have a group of normal navy ships as escorts, and all the ships would fire at you at once.You could also buy some ships to act as your fleet.

Mikeroon in response to your question I found a lost sailor on a trip between Ironchester and Saragosa that that said he was a crewman of the Neptune before it sank and he knew where the treasure was. After you find him you can have him take you to it.

Neilson,
I'm glad you like the game. Try using the "counter" script under variables when you're making a gamebook. For example, maybe you use "set counter" to 10 on the first page, then there's another page where your player gets hurt and you use "change counter" by some negative number. To display the counter in the game write, {counter:health}.
Feel free to email me at [email protected] if you have specific questions, and hopefully I can help. Good luck making your game.

Once you get like 60+ cannons and 15+ armor all ship battles are too easy and repetitive. Afterwards there is no risk and it's more about completeing your journal log. But even after completing all the tasks from the log there is no "real" ending.

Too much grinding and little surprises makes a stale game, BUT at least it was somewhat enjoyable.

A lot of people are asking about the save feature. To load a save game just go back to the game's title page and refresh it. You should get the option to "resume" or "restart." Load your game by resuming. By title page I mean this page you are viewing right now with all the reviews and comments.

Thank you, and I'm glad you enjoy the game. My most used tools for making a game like this are GetRandomInt(x,y), the "if" function, the "move player to this page" function, and the "counter" function.

For example, for a random encounter you might put in the script "set counter," set the counter name as "encounter", and set it to an expression equal to GetRandomInt(1,3). Then you could add the if function, with something like "if encounter = 1" and the result would be to move the player to a certain page. So since encounter can be 1, 2 or 3, you'd have 3 pages that the player could be sent to, each one representing a different encounter.

Hopefully that helps understand a little more as to how a game like this could be made,

Feel free to email me at [email protected] if you have some specific question or want feedback,

Thanks again for the reviews, everyone!

How do you make this? I am making a game called Silverglade Saga and it is meant to be a bit like this. I would like to know about some techniques on making games like this. Silverglade Saga is going to be a game where you travel through a forest city and get jobs , loot people and fight.

Review phantom

The completionist in me wasn't able to rest until I'd checked off everything in the logbook (aside from capturing the leviathan, for the life of me I could not find it) as well as ridiculously upgrading my ship. While the game could do with some fleshing out and more random events I still thoroughly enjoyed what there was :)

Comment peter123

23 Dec 2015

alexfangalon,

If you generate a random number, 1 through 3, like I described in one of my previous comments, "GetRandomInt(1,3)", then use an if statement like,

if number equals 1 then go to page1
if number equals 2 then go to page2
if number equals 3 then go to page3

Then depending on the page you land on a different possibility occurs. That's how I would handle choosing randomly between 3 random events.

Hope that makes sense.

Do you know of a way to randomize what objects there are. Like I have three possible but only one shows up and its random which one it is?

Comment peter123

06 Dec 2015

Super Sanik,

the expression "GetRandomInt(x,y)" generates a random integer in the interval from x to y.

For example, say I wanted to randomly generate a number of cannons for an enemy ship. I could put in the script "set counter", set the counter name as "cannons", set it to an expression equal to GetRandomInt(1,5). The ship would have 1 to 5 cannons.

That's the best way I've found to generate randomness in encounters. Hopefully that helps.

Comment Super Sanik

06 Dec 2015

What I really want to know is how you made those random encounters.

Hull: 113 (a measure of your ship's durability)
Armor: 12 (protective plates on the outside of your ship)
Cannons: 75 (your ship's firepower)
Crew: 56 (the number of able fighters on deck)
Gold: 838

This is how high I got (for now :3) it is a really good game which is fast and simple without all those menu's. It's really good, but I would rather see more of a story and where you can build your own towns or higher special mercanaries. Not only that, but have a good and bad reputation because I can get this and still walk into Queensland without getting kicked out... XD

Review An Ridire Dubh

03 Nov 2015

Great game. He's basically taken most of the good elements from Sid Meier's Pirates and simplified it into a quick text game. It's a bit too easy, you can clear the whole game very quickly. But well worth the play. I'd love to see a sequel with much harder areas and a more elements. The game art is great too.

Review Tommy3000

30 Oct 2015

A collection of simple ideas that have been very well executed. It's a blast to play, although it does unfortunately become repetitive and boring once you have 20-odd cannon, since pretty much nothing can stop you at that point. Otherwise I really liked it, I'm going to keep it on my computer for an occasional pirate session.

Cthulchu,

The game runs better if you download it instead of playing it online. Sorry that it got stuck when you were playing.

"gb5rrcs-8u_5fxbvwbtf8a" is the same link for the entire game, so that doesn't really narrow down where it stopped working. Was it a particular part of the game that always got stuck when you tried?

I'll try to fix it if I can.

Also, thank you everyone for the reviews/comments, on this and my other games.

Dearest peter123,

I love your games. They are all splendid, to the horrific, yet great game of Zombolocaust, to the London Setting and mystery series of Victorian Detective. This game is very addicting, and I recommended some of your games to my sister!

That aside, I have a question regarding this game in particular that I wish to talk to you about, preferably in private, but in the comments will suffice for me, too. Because I need your permission to make and publish a story I made. I'll go into detail why, assure you some things, etc. I am doing this because I respect you as a writer in textadventures.co.uk and as one of my favorite gamemakers, and also respect your games too. If you're willing to hear me out, I'll gladly give you the details.

I've changed the game so text is cleared between each choice you make. This should fix that annoying loading problem where the game takes really long to load a saved game.

Comment peter123

I made it so it reduces the tax to one third before the officers get on your ship. So the real tax must have been 36, but because you were a privateer it got reduced to 12.

So you see the adjusted price as one of the options before engaging the Navy.

Thanks for all the comments and reviews!

Comment BeggerStager

07 Apr 2015

I think this is a bug. I joined the imperial fleet and I should only pay 1/3 of the tax. However, I have to pay 12 and it doesn't get reduced to 4.
Pay the travel tax (12 gold)
A squadron of Imperial Navy officers board your ship and collect their tax.
"I see you're a privateer of the Imperial Navy. Good man. You only have to pay a third of what would usually be demanded."

Review Vollkrasser

Addictive!
I love it, reminds me of the old day's at C-64, when you did not need a sound and graphic orgy to have a highlight like "fighting the behemoth", or "gambling in a floating pirate nest".
The successive events and permanent decisions you have on youre journey make it fun to play for a long time. Really good.
Suggestions to improve the gameplay would be less line-spacing, e.g. the parameters of the ship could be displayed in a panel to the right, so they do not need "scrollspace" and are visible all the time (means you dont have to scroll up manually to see youre ships status. Also little individual graphics for each town would be nice to describe its particular flair...esp. the floating island. Same for the special eventes like finding the treasure or so :-) thereby rewarding the player for solved tasks.
Have to report my game stopped having suddenly no more to click after i repaired it in a dockyard.
Another suggestion: Maybe the log tells too much of the surprises ahead, so it could be a idea not to display the tasks that you dont know of. So only show them in the log after you have learned of them.
But all in all really fun and entertaining to play!
