Do you what “The Yankee lay low down with gold” means? It is not exactly modern English, so I can’t really tell. Although, I assume it means the ship didn’t have any gold/anything valuable, given that it is followed by the repetition of wishing to be in Sherbrooke instead.

Can't help but find myself periodically wishing I could step into the shoes of a privateer or pirate in the 18th Century. Obviously not one of the ones in this song, but you get my point... Even if most didn't lead the longest of lives, I'm sure they saw more excitement in a few years than most people in the present day see in a lifetime.

+FXK Fexick There were actually few recorded pirate naval battles. It was most likely 3 years of mundane work and a couple days of excitement if any for the average privateer. Nonetheless, the Caribbean is one of the most fascinating theaters of war in history and I have been contemplating creating a VR pirate RPG for Oculus Rift. I don't know if there would be a demand for something like this though...
@lordfexick649

Kevin Gulling Perhaps. But by that logic, that's all most of our jobs today offer as well. But I digress. I'd probably still prefer it over the day-to-day of present times. I know there would be a high demand if you were able to execute it properly. Speaking solely on the perspective of sea battles, Assassin's Creed 4 had a pretty nice system. If you could take something like that, and maybe add a couple features, that would be something I know people would jump on. For example, an option to change what class of ship you control. And a choice to put to sea with a small fleet under your control. Me personally, I've always enjoyed games with a high degree of customization; something that makes you feel more attached to your character or units. So options for hull paint, weapon customization, flag design, things like that would really hook gamers like me. I don't make games, so I don't know how tall of an order this is. But still, food for thought.
@KevinGulling
8 жыл бұрын
These are great ideas! I will have to try Assassins Creed 4 now to check out the battle system. I like the idea of basing it on privateering rather than pirating as well to give it a new spin. Maybe there's someone out there who would donate a rendition of 'Berretts Privateers' (is this song in the public domain or something like that? I see so many renditions of it)
@lordfexick649
8 жыл бұрын
Kevin Gulling It would be worth looking into. And I agree that basing it on privateering would be better. It would allow players a sort of faction choice, getting to select which empire they sail for. Between the English, Spanish, French, Dutch, Portuguese, etc., there should be no shortage. Maybe each allegiance can have certain perks based on what the empires of the age were known for.
