Hearts of Oak: Conquest of the Seas is a non-commercial PC game being developed by PiratesAhoy!, and is to become the historical seafaring game to end them all! Fun, realistic gameplay on land and at sea, set during the Age of Sail, will provide extensive free play, exciting scripted storylines and intense multiplayer scenarios.
Here is another impressive drawing from PostCaptain, which helps to establish the look and feel of the sailing aspect of the game.
Shoulda drawn a giant squid surfacing in the background, aha.
Yes. I'll put it right next to the UFO I'm about to add.
USO?
Too many acronyms.
In all seriousness, we'll be avoiding any type of fantasy that the player doesn't have to go look very hard for. If you walk into a cave, you won't find any skeletons walking around unless you complete very specific dialogue ingame indicating your interest.
