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

I came across this game when it won the Most Promising Demo of the Year award. I'm glad I did. This game is a gem. I just finished the demo and I'm surprised it hasn't been featured yet.

Is there any news on the development of the next update?

Only complete games will be featured. I highly doubt it'll take very long for it to be so once the game is finished.
Thanks guys. I've been a bit slack, taking a break on this... only doing little bits and pieces every so often. So it's going forward just very slowly.

One day I'll kick back into action to finish it, as it's getting fairly close to the end (it's not going to be a real long game).
I found a bug:

Crash to desktop

When fighting the dragon in the volcano all party members died except for the dog.
Thanks for letting me know, much appreciated. :)

Hey Galv! Finish this :)
Haha... It's -slowly- getting there. I'm fairly close to finishing, just need to find time and maybe a little motivation! It'll be done... one day...

Alright, that's good to hear! I liked this game a lot~
Thanks, that's good to hear as well :)
Need motivation, huh?

Well ok...

...

Your game looks awesome, go finish it!!!!!
Haha, thanks - that does actually help a little :D
I played through the current version of the game awhile back. The combat system was balanced and the plot is solid.

I came across the game by accident when I browsing through the multitude of games available on the site. I'm glad I found it. The story line gave me more than a few good laughs.

I'm looking forward to playing the last chapter of the game.
The last time I played this, it was only available up to the first boss, I'm gonna keep waiting till the finished product arrives, I can't wait! :)
If it's not to much trouble, can someone tell me how to get that "Biography" Script, googling it doesn't seem to work.
Awesome stuff, it reminds me about Monkey Island so much.

Yes i do actually, thanks... and one other thing, the gab script, I'm having trouble with, like, there's no example's so base the script calls' off of.
Hey Galv,

I've been checking back at this game for a couple months, hoping you would continue with it. Been lurking for quite a while now and decided to create an account. Please continue! This is the best RM game I've ever played!

Thanks for the content so far.
Thanks, X0D... I know I've still been slack on this. Maybe I should change it to hiatus. I do plan to finish it, it's so close at the moment (on my non released version hehe) but so much other work and projects are taking priority at the moment.

I appreciate your kind words, I'm glad you like it!
