Ahoy Pirates!

Development on Pirates Life continues, and today we’re sharing a first look at two systems we’ve been working on: the story and crafting.

🏴‍☠️ The Lost Expedition

The first story content is now being implemented. Players will hear about an expedition that vanished while searching for a forgotten Pirate City.

Your journey begins by obtaining a compass and following the trail left behind by the missing expedition. As you progress from island to island, you’ll uncover more of what happened and eventually discover Pirate City.

The screenshots show an early version of the quest interface and Pirate City discovery system. More story content, locations and polish will be added as development continues.

🔨 Crafting & Workbenches

We’ve also been working on a new crafting system. Workbenches allow you to use materials such as Wood, Metal, Glass and Supplies to craft useful equipment.

Current craftable items include things like the Salvaged Lantern, Captain Spyglass, Sea Compass, Wooden Bucket and other equipment.

Crafted equipment is connected to your account and can be selected through the Pirate Equipment system.

Everything shown here is still work in progress, so the interfaces, balancing, recipes and story content may change before release.

There’s plenty more being worked on behind the scenes.

See you on the seas! 🏴‍☠️
