Age of Pirates
Revealed on Pirates Ahoy! reveals that the upcoming pirate-themed game from
Akella is a project called Age of Pirates, rather than Sea Dogs 2 as was
speculated (
story). Included are some details on the project, as
well as a Q&A with Akella's Renat Nezametdinov discussing the open-ended nature
of the project:
Completely open ended. The player creates his own story
himself as he starts the game. No prescripted story, no plot bounds - just do
what you want. AOP game world is a complex system that lives by itself and
reacts on player actions. Player still has a goal to achieve (gather all
colonies under his hand) but there are many ways to reach it. AOP is the game
where old Greek saying "The man can't enter the same river twice" becomes true.
Player will never be able to repeat his previous game even if he tries.
