Little Pirate Adventure by Bauke Regnerus
Little Pirate Adventure is a tiny open world adventure where you can trade goods while avoiding hazards. The objective is to explore, to become rich and find the famous treasure.
My name is Bauke Regnerus and I make happy and non-violent games. This is a last minute attempt for Ludum Dare 47. I joined Sunday evening, failed my attempt to do a 5 hour compo, and continued on the next day for the jam.
Possible future improvements: * More dynamic trade system with fluctuating prices; * Quests like escorting ships, transport requests etc; * A way to become a pirate yourself, in case Guybrush wants to play the game.
Post jam fixes: * Typos, always typos! * Some balancing issues * Barrels not respawning fixed * Hold down-function for transaction buttons

As pointed out in the instructions, the game crashes when you run out of food. You don't start with very much food and there's lots of enemies through which you can lose it, too. Perhaps less of an issue for better gamers than me, but it meant that my playthroughs were always very short and ended in crashes. I really enjoy the concept, the map, the art, and if you decide to further develop it and fix the issues, I would definitely play it again!
Should I do something with it, or did I win already? :smile:
Very pleasant game. The art style fits well with the music, and it's fun to play.
A few nit-picks:
- I'd experiment with making the map a bit larger, and make the boats move a bit faster. The movement feels sluggish this way.
- Loosing everything to a single pirate ship is a bit demoralizing, but I understand the logic behind it.
- I had to install an autoclicker to buy enough cheese to trade for the treasure map.
Anyway, good job!
I'm glad you introduced the holding button to buy more! Even with that one, buying 2500 food rations took a looooong time.
I love the color scheme and music fits the atmosphere very well. It's a charming game and a nice jam job :smile:
PS. Additional points for using Godot :smile:
Didn't mind the "it's easy once you find the good trades" factor for a jam game, but it feels like it would need a major rethink and not just extension to make a post-jam version without that issue.
Great entry! Super clean and well executed. Am I the only one who noticed the trader ships are named after Ludum Dare streamers? That was funny lol
Great job!
heart. broken.
Really lovely experience, Bauke.
