Freebooter is a sandbox game set in a fantasy pirate world. Players will be able to explore, pirate, trade and ingratiate themselves with the factions of the game. The game relies heavily on procedural generation to create varied and interesting content.
Hi everyone,
We have decided to close the Kickstarter and stop the development of Freebooter for the foreseeable future. At the time of writing, we are still at 8% of the Kickstarter goal amount, and we do not see a way to turn things around before the end of the Kickstarter.
We have loved the idea of Freebooter ever since we first discussed it and we have enjoyed working on the game for the past year. We knew it was a very ambitious project from the start and that it would be a long shot to get it made, but we are happy that we have made an attempt.
We would like to thank everyone who have backed the Kickstarter and everyone who has followed Freebooter over the past year. We have been overwhelmed by the attention Freebooter has gotten and we are sorry we could not give you a chance to play it. In the end Freebooter proved too ambitious, but we will keep making games. Once again, thank you all for your support.
Sincerely,
Johannes, Jakob and Nissanthen, Tribunal Games.
For the first time, we talk about how the combat of Freebooter is going to work in detail.
We've launched the kickstarter for Freebooter! Checkout the kickstarter trailer!
We have decided to change the cubic art style of Freebooter into a less restrictive and more organic style.
We've been trying to come up with a better way to do islands in Freebooters art style for a long time and now we are finally ready to show some of it...
Great idea, It's a pity you have to stop developing this
Just saw this game on sandbox-games.net
Looks really good!
Why this decision?
It was a really good idea!
We didn't have enough money to continue development full-time and we weren't willing to work on it part-time, so we decided to put the game on hold.
Does this mean that there still is a chance to continue the development on the game (thats what I understand from "on hold")
is there any friends in the game
Freebooter is now on Sandbox-Games.net: Sandbox-games.net
We wish you good luck for your Kickstarter campaign.
Awesome - thanks!
Is it Free-2-Play or Pay-2-Play?
Once you have bought a copy of the game, there is no further expense. No microtransactions of any kind.
