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

Quick question Galv, how'd you get the points for learning skills that a character already has to be displayed next to a character? It's not already implemented in the script, so just curious~ :)
MY OPINION

strong parts: graphics. gameplay.

weak parts: dialogue.

Thanks for your comment. What did you find weak about the dialogue? I'm always looking to improve so would love to know
I pretty much just want to have how much points a character's already earned above their hp/mp and stuff like yours does. How would I go about doing that? :o

Subscribed, this looks like one of the more unique games I've seen on here. I'll have to check it out when I get home!
I'll record some C&C later- once I'm done with other things.
Glad you added that save file.
It will save me some time.
Thanks. I will forever fear and be thankful for you finding another painful bug. :P
This game.

IT NEEDS MORE NINJAS.

But seriously though, this is one of those original RPG's that have been put GREAT effort into, thus immediately making it awesome to my understanding. I'm enjoying every single bit so far so keep it up! And, as a token of my appreciation:

"Argh, I be subbing this golden doubloon!"

On another point, why the FUNK does two games I like playing have to come out on the same time?
Are you guys working to eat my LP free time :'D
Everyone Please disregard the new download. A game breaking crash has been found.

Kind regards - Incarnate and Galv

Secretly. eue

And I wasn't aware of that game breaking crash until now. So good to know about that warning.
Ahhhh dangit. I missed some code that does cause a crash.
Don't touch the red orb in the volcano...

The orb resets the puzzle so you can try again... you can leave the map and enter it for the same effect if you want to keep trying but I have temporarily removed the file and will upload it with fix soon

I missed it during all my testing :(
