The Story - Why the rush?

Word about treasure spreads quickly to pirates near and far... especially if that word is written on 1000 parchments, stuffed in 1000 bottles and scattered throughout the thous-err... seven seas.

Four hidden islands... each island containing a treasure that noone has ever seen... each treasure protected by an equally mysterious guardian...

"A race? Hooktooth's entire fortune to whoever brings him all four treasures?"
"That's what the message said, Cap'n."
“We have a heading then - we depart immediately. No telling how many other scallywags we'll have to gut to get our turn!”

Even with the most vague details of the race, no pirate can resist exploring, fighting and most of all rolling in glistening mountains of gold. And so the great pirate rush begins...

Vex Silver is a crew member aboard the Orctapuss – a sturdy ship of rum drinking ruffians, one of the first vessels to arrive at the 'Sacred Islands'. During an attempt to make port, a fierce storm rises from nowhere, scuttling the ship and separating Vex from the crew.

Only one thing goes through Vex's mind when he finds himself alone on the beach... No need to split the treasure if he finds all four himself! Little did he know of the dangerous monsters, life threatening voodoo magics and the curse of the four treasures he was seeking.

WHERE'S THE DOWNLOAD!?
Version 7.1 is no longer available, Version 8 has taken it's place.

KNOWN BUGS IN V8:
- Fire urn puzzle in the first dungeon: If you kill a mob in a position that an urn has to go, the urn will not light. Leave the room and go back in if that happens.
- Blind healing item doesn't heal blind
- An overlay error from the water dungeon onward (a bug somewhere that doesn't restore the correct overlay).

November Pirate Progress

Okay, so I've been slack and busy learning scripting and other things so haven't actually done much on Pirate Rush. I decided to release the updated version of what I have done anyway, even though it's not that much more gameplay. Total time it took me to do a test run of version 8 is 2 hours 15 minutes (not bothering getting any of the secrets etc.

VERSION 7.1 TO 8 NOTES:

Visual:
- Volcano boss added "Time left" display text animation to help players notice there is a timer.
- Added some environmental effects such as splashing in shallow water.
- New water effects in all maps with water.
- Added "Graphics" option - if your computer is struggling with these new effects, change this setting to "low". This setting disables some scripts that hog the most processor use.

Gameplay:
- Added a quick tutorial for Aryll.
- MINI GAME ADDED: "Sailor's Luck" - dice gambling.
- MINI GAME ADDED: "Vexboarding" - sailboarding action sequence
- Further advancing the story.
- More maps to explore and another dungeon/puzzle.
- Added a few more skills (still more of them to come)

Version 8 has now been uploaded

Galv, i swear that is the last question ill make that is not about how to beat the game.

Like, im using the animated Battlers, and my protagonist is Hibito. You have some advice or trick for me to make a good game? I know i already told ya that, but your name will for sure be in my project cradits.
I don't really know what I can tell you. Read lots of tutorials to learn how to make a game... and play lots of games to know what you think is fun.

Then make your own game for enjoyment.
Really Thanks Galv, you where of a lot help to me. Know that now you're my goal, someday i'll make a game that will be even better than PR, still, i don't think i can make that haha
Sure you can, you can do it :)
Do you use tiles of the XP maker, or all depends on PS maping?

Also, how the hell i put the sprites on Animated Battler Scripts e.e

I put the script, but continues to use the charset, and i already programed Hibito's sheet.

Galv, sorry for all these questions, as i already told ya, im a newbie, more like a moron newbie, but i need an expert teaching e_e

Its okay if you are bored of my questions, just say me, and i'll stop questioning you, okay?
I recommend joining one of the many rpgmaker forums and asking for help with stuff there instead of here :)
Okay, Thanks Galv, you gave me lots of help.
Galv, need more time to take off. So you can think of your graphic and game feature. That will help this game to impress everyone
lol, Galv you need to find yourself some newbie repelent. They seem to be attracted to you. :D
:(
Just admiration, i even can't make my Animated Battlers work rigth, it's normal to be admirated. :(
Did you join a forum to ask for help there? A lot of people are willing to help in support threads on sites such as rpgmakerweb.com and rpgmakervxace.net.
Galv, i joined, and i learned how to work with Ruby.

Also, i noticed one little fail in PR, just for you to know, there was one time in Ketrop, when Mia died, and then, she speaks her quote, but the name appears as Aryll.

Another thing, i cleared the game, it's fantastically incredible, there is just one thing missing. The game is too short, i cleared in two hours and a half, i think you could do some side quests before Vex going to one of the sacred islands, how about two side for island?

Also, you almost gave me a heart attack when the game is over and appear " to be continued" , i was so curious about who talked to Vex in tikibumi. I'm just a newbie, but i recommend you that not do a second game, but include the other sacred island in a new and longer version of the first. Remember about the side- quests. And, i am making my project, and do you care if i borrow you some BGM? (Tea Garden and Bloodlust) With the proper credits to you and Aaron of course.

Edit: Just by curiosity, i am not rushing you. When do you think you'll release the new verion or the sequel of PR. Sorry for my bad english, im just a thirteen brazilian.
Thanks for the info, Sting :)
1. Where in Ketrop did Mia die when that happened? In the forest on one of the wandering enemies?

2. This game is not the final version, it's still being made, so I will definitely be making it longer. You will find out about the voices Vex keeps hearing later :)

3. Aaron allows his music to be used for free as long as you give him credit

4. I don't know when the next release of PR will be but the original goal was to have it finished in March - not sure that will be reached yet. Might be a bit later
Well, it was in one of that groups of three boars, especifically in that area where you can find capitan's key.

So good to hear that it will make it longer. Also, i have been trying to recolor some faces to use in my project, and i could not find the way, i will not ask you to teach me how to do this, i just will ask which Photoshop you use, cuz im using CS3 and may this be because of my version is too old. Thanks Galv.

Sergio, i too was having that problem, for that, you'll have to go back Trihugera, and take Alpha with you, then he will indicate you were the two will be.

And Galv, i am now in at least 10% of my project, the characters are all done, the skills and weapons too, and the story is all done, when i make the monsters, and at least two dungeons, i make a Demo, i would like to know if you would play it e.e'
Sting thanks alot for your answer and help
Thanks for answering, Sting :)

@Annexx - Can you please tell me what the script error it gives you is? There shouldn't be any errors that early in the game.
