Black Wake - Age of Sail Naval Game [On Kickstarter!!]
« on: September 14, 2013, 06:05:04 am »
BlackWake: Dead Marque is a multiplayer naval warfare game with team focused elements. It features destructible ships, first person combat, ship sailing, ship boarding, objective based game modes and potentially up to 100+ players (our goal is 300) per match.

BlackWake: Dead Marque hopes to envision a fun, tactical and realistic naval warfare experience. The British, French, Spanish and even the pirates fight it out in dominance in this frantic era of the late 18th century. The ships rock and sway in vary weathered conditions from crashing stormy seas to the dead silence in the fog of war. Intense broadside ship battles take place while pirates raid and loot helpless vessels in the Caribbean. Ship boarding is rampant while cutlasses clash and muskets and pistols billow with smoke. Is your ship and crew ready to fight and die for your king and country? Or are they ready to prey on the helpless for their own greed?

BlackWake: Dead Marque is an indie game being made by 2 developers. We hope to prove this game as a means of proof of concept and that we are capable in both programming/art to complete our project!

We hope to achieve a variety of different and fun game play experiences with a number of brainstormed ideas including:

- Team orientated sailing
- Intense melee and weapon combat
- Possibly Land/Sea simultaneous battles
- Goal of up to 300 Players per match
- Objective based game modes
- Dedicated/Private servers

Some potential game mode ideas include:
- Cat and mouse
- Merchant interception
- 6 squads of 10 fighting eachother on schooners

We are still very open to ideas so if you have any please let us know!

Blackwake has been in development for a while but we can only continue with your support! Please share this project as it will help immensely so we can plunder the 7 seas!

Update 5/11/14:

The game is on Kickstarter now and looks absolutely amazing. Check it out at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2000479544/blackwake-multiplayer-pirate-fps-set-in-the-age-of

Progress from my perspective seems to be going well,  and remember if you like the idea, share it with a friend to help the production of the game to continue.
