Pirates of the Golden SeaAbout the game: Pirates of the Golden Sea (POTGS) is a project started by William Foulbutler to create a brand new POTCO inspired MMO using the Unreal Engine 4 game engine. The game will be placed in the Caribbean during the golden age of piracy.
The game will be available for Windows, Mac & Linux platforms.

This is a preview of Update 0.2.6 which will be coming soon for public play. This particular preview shows off the guild system which is still a work in progress. So far for the guild system we have creating a guild, leaving a guild, ranks, member count, online member count, error checking, and we began work on guild management system. We do not have joining guilds yet, as that is pointless at this point since the game currently does not support multiplayer. The best part is - guilds save on the server, so whenever you login, you are in the guild you were in before you logged out!

This is a video showing the current login screen. We added AI to the ships, which makes them sail on their own! They also loop, so when they leave the player's screen, they spawn right back where they started from.
We wanted a login screen that was more than just a still image, or water. We wanted something original, so we came up with this design.
This is by no means a final design. Just a rough draft. We plan to add even more to it sooner or later!
Let us know what you think by rating this video, and leaving a comment! Your feedback is greatly appreciated :).
On the two year anniversary of Pirates of the Golden Sea, we decided to show a demo of something we have been working on recently - sailing! All the ship mechanics are in place, movement, broadside firing, smoke, etc. We even have messages to drop the anchor when approaching a dockable island, a sailing too close message when coming close to an island, and even a collider when you are very close to the island.
This is by no means a final product, but is pretty close. We have 3 ship types so far - The Line Ship (shown in the video), the Brigantine , and the Cuter ship. All 3 ship types are fully functional, we just didn't show them here.
We are approaching alpha. Be sure to check out our forums to be the first to know all news, as well as exclusive alpha teasers! We also will be giving away Alpha keys on the forums when it is time for Alpha to release.
Anyways, thanks for watching, we'll catch you next time!POTGS: Development Update 01/23/16Pirates of the Golden Sea2016-01-23 | Hello, mates!
We have a very exciting development update to share with ye today! We have sooo much accomplished. You can watch the video to see some of the things, but check out the forums to see everything accomplished!
Please keep in mind, this GUI is only temporary. It will be updated soon. Also, whenever I type, my player jumps each time I press the space key, and the GUI opens. This is strange, and we will look into a fix for this issue.
Today we have what we consider a major update! We have added one of the most important features of every MMO - that is account logging in! Yes we already have account logging in on the website, but now you can login with your account through the game itself!!
However, as of right now, the logging in just serves the purpose of logging in to access the game. There is no stats or anything account related implemented into the game other than just the logging in.
This is a huge step in the game, finally accessing the database where we can store player stats, levels, etc!
Some of ye could care less about this update, but it is a very big step. Expect to see more awesome updates soon!POTGS: Development Update 08 08 14Pirates of the Golden Sea2014-08-08 | Ahoy!
Today we have a small development update, this time showing off our newly added sun!! This sun is very basic, things such as lighting, and the sky will be adjusted.
This sun takes 60 seconds to make a full cycle: 30 seconds of daytime, 30 seconds of nighttime.
Hopefully tomorrow (if we release an update tomorrow) we will have a little bigger update to show!
P.S. Sorry for the quality. I was trying a new video recorder, and obviously I should probably keep searching.POTGS: Port Royal Demo 1Pirates of the Golden Sea2014-08-06 | Ahoy mateys!
William Foulbutler here with an exciting new development update. Today we are showing off our progress thus far with Port Royal! You may have seen our old Port Royal. We still have that Island, but will not be using the island, as we have a brand new better layout.
For now on, we will be posting development update videos on this channel. JohnnyDaPirate still handles all videos on his channel, however, we will be using this channel to show quick updates which Johnny has 100% permission to use all footage on this channel for his channel.
Also, we apologize for the quality. We were in a hurry recording this, we will be finding a new video recorder hopefully before the next video we share with ye.
Thank you for your ongoing support and enthusiasm for Pirates of the Golden Sea!!
