Nice! Meant to comment earlier. When we get the new website up and running we will be able to better promote these types of things I think.

Jeffrey has an update for the lighting issues. I haven’t tried any of this new stuff yet because I am hard at work on the newest patch with lots of new stuff (almost finished). Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Ah yes – I never got around to reading it that second time. Perhaps I should – considering that their faces are so clear to me these…[Read more]

Also totally unrelated, welcome Zauberberg. I am also a Fritz Lang fan. Although I like Metropolis (1927) the best (especially the reworked version with the Freddy Mercury songs). However, Man with a Movie Camera (1929) (from your avatar) is widely considered to be one of the greatest documentary movies ever made.

Here’s links for those who might…[Read more]

Damn good catch once again Jeffrey!

I haven’t had the boarding issues at all, but enough people were complaining about it, that I knew there must be some issue. I can’t wait to test this out, but I have vowed not to play the game until I have the upcoming limited release patch finished. SO MUCH new content in here! I can’t wait to play it myself!…[Read more]

WOW I was so sorry to see that there are fires at Multnomah Falls. What a tragedy. Damn it will take years for all of that beauty there to grow back. I am so glad we went over there a few weeks ago when we came out to see you. I took a bunch of pictures of the bridge. I will put some of them up on my flickr soon.

Yeah, I have started calling…[Read more]

Ha! Look at what I found tonight mates. I just ran on to this one completely by accident and clicked on her. For years my sons and I have had a term we have used to describe hot chics that aren’t real – “CARTOON HOT”. Used in a sentence… “Damn, that chic is CARTOON HOT!”

So tonight I give you CARTOON HOT PIRATE CHIC in the rigging.

WE have…[Read more]

Some screenshots of development. Jeffrey has enabled the game so that I can give every colony unique textures regardless of towns sharing the same models. Curacao is almost done, but I am not gonna show it yet. For tonight though some of Bodden’s Landing……[Read more]

Isn’t that AWESOME! THE ALACRANES REEF! YES!!! DeGraaf’s hide-out is just right around the corner for us and I have all of the buildings and huts picked out. I just sent Orazio the texture that I believe will cover those blank islands.

Now here’s one thing from me. I will throw more in the screenshots thread and update thread in just a minute.…[Read more]

I talked it over with Jeffrey tonight and decided not to reveal the map behind the map which shows where all of the colonies are which Orazio has built this masterpiece to as a guide. This way none of you will be disappointed if we can’t get all of them in place as we desire.

I never intended this to be a dead accurate rendition from the get go.…[Read more]

Dude, There is no way you can destroy our credibility beyond what I have already done myself! LOL! That’s part of the point right? For years I used to tell people who worked for me that it was not about “cool points”. I know that I did my job well because not only did I receive awards beyond what I was expecting, but I also made tons of enemies…[Read more]

HA! @ Schiavonna, I am no longer the modern knight who says nee. I am now the Modern Knight who says, Icky Icky Icky Kapang Zoop Boing Neeeewhom. I see that I am not the only Python fan around here. LOL

So I have these other versions done for France and Holland, but I am still considering leaving one as a class 4 because it IS slower and weaker…[Read more]

I’m still heavily engaged with taking care of home and family business, but working on our stuff late at night.

Just thought I would tempt everyone with a little teaser of what the team is working on. This is not conceptual. What you see below is the actual new revised island model in the game! Orazio still needs to add Bonaire and a few more…[Read more]

Yeah I know about it. I have thought about making it available in two different configs because muskets are not able to be used by all player characters. This is why I coded it in as a pistol instead of a musket. It does look a little weird, but it is damn effective! I have a Winchester Dogleg 45 Long Colt that I can shoot the same way. It looks…[Read more]

Well it shouldnt actually be that way. Its been a long time since I did that quest by staying in the other room till after midnight, …but you used to be able to steal the plans that way also.

These are Yo Ho Ho’s (Sir Anthony Deane) on dezeeroovers new ships. The first one here is the Crown – an English Restoration 3rd rater – and the next is an English restoration era scout class Frigate or 6th rater.

Yo Ho Ho kindly gave me permission via email to use all of his ships in Gentlemen of Fortune! Thanks so much Yo Ho Ho!

These will be…[Read more]

OK so I wanted to let everyone know a few things about what is going on – don’t wanna leave ya in the dark.

1st: The new update that I’ve promised to loyal active members which will be released in the next few days and then to the entire community in a few months is almost complete. I don’t like to hurry myself, and some of these new ships and…[Read more]

Captain Q,

One question, does the hand icon show up when you go into talk to the Shipyard Master?

My technique for that quest is much more rogue. I will ensure I have all of my business in the town completed so that I don’t need to come back.

Then I go to the front door of the Shipyard and Quicksave.

Then I go into the Shipyard in broad…[Read more]

There is also the Inquisition Headquarters in Santiago under the Cathedral stairs in the Cave. There are some missions where you have to break prisoners out of there, AND one of the TOTEMS is also in there. SO you could have dark music in that scene. I’m not sure what music is in there right now?
