About the Project

Did you know 'The Republic of Pirates' was the base or stronghold of a loose confederacy run by privateers-turned-pirates in Nassau on New Providence island in the Bahamas for about eleven years from 1706 until 1718. Neither did I!!! But when I researched some of the background covered in the TV series Black Sails - there it was, a mini pirate paradise fighting for its independence from imperialism. In many ways, it was more democratic (and diverse, and tolerant!) than our societies today. Must have been the RUM! Anyway, I want to make a group participation game of this epic scenario!

I like to start these kinds of projects by building up swatch boards of relevant images and textures. It helps with inspiration and getting a feel for the direction a game like this might head.
