00:30The middle earth concept here is that our character or destined champion has to embark on a certain amount of
00:37missions and follow a certain structure in order to unite all three factions being pirates, curses and buccaneers and together
00:45they have the power then to overthrow the pirates of Black Cove and of course our character achieves then his
00:51destined objective or destiny which is to be the pirate king and ruler of Black Cove.
01:00The role playing elements basically consist of personal characters which you as the player assume the role of a pirate
01:07destined to a unite the factions of Black Cove or of the Caribbean and this basically implies that you need
01:16to select carefully based on a certain skill set or skills and abilities that best suit your style of playing.
01:22We also have experience so you're able to sort of accumulate experience points for both you and your crew.
01:29Leveling up basically at the end of most of the missions there's an opportunity to level up you choose from
01:35a pool of skills and abilities again.
01:37You make decisions whether or not you share these skills with your crew or do you take them for yourself.
01:43And of course skills and abilities imply a degree of variation in terms of how you approach the game.
01:52So certain skill sets would imply you approach the game in a certain direction and certain skill sets imply you
01:57approach it in a certain direction.
01:59Well for example you have a character in the game that represents pirates he has a barrel as a leg.
02:06When we're looking at the skill stats for example in this particular player he's good to have on board your
02:10ship simply because if you take damage on the side you can use the barrel to plug the ship so
02:15that you don't actually sink.
02:17We have for example our curusers who are experts in training birds so they have hawks with them all the
02:23time.
02:24You want him on board your ship or in the land battle so that you're able to get a bird's
02:29eye view of the terrain or the battle or the sea.
02:32So you know I guess you're getting the picture here we're not going with your traditional skills and abilities but
02:38we're trying to work with a degree of wit and get a little bit out there with the whole concept.
02:43Well basically within each faction we have seven basic unit types obviously again referring to buccaneers they're excellent marksmen so
02:52they tend to excel there but the key thing is we've got characters that are not or units that are
02:58not sort of your typical units we have beef cakes that we're referring to internally and these guys carry around
03:04cannons we have metal mongers these are your I guess you could call them dwarf on steroids that you know
03:11wield the sword that
03:12with mere mortals like you and I would not even be able to live but an inch from the ground
03:16so just give an example of the kind of variety and I guess you could say wit that we're bringing
03:23on top of the character style.
03:24A big part of the experience we want you to have is again adventure so obviously it's an open world
03:30there are missions that are associated with each faction and the more you accomplish within those missions the more favor
03:36you gain with the faction leaders but it's only once you've united all three so gone through the missions that
03:42you're able to go up against the pirates of black cove and actually defeat them.
03:47Well I mean the battles in pirates of black cove obviously there's naval battles and this is something we've done
03:54and we're good at the idea is to get a really sort of arcadish feel to the whole thing but
04:02something that we haven't really done before and something we're really excited about this time is late is the land
04:08battles not your typical prolonged kind of land battles because of course pirates are more suited to squirmish so the
04:15idea is it's
04:16get in get in get the job done get out yeah how will people feel after playing pirates of black
04:22cove I think it's going to be a little bit of a Monty Python moment for most people most people
04:26I mean and now for something completely different and for the most part I'm rarely counting on the fact that
04:32they will be as excited as we are and enjoy the game.
04:46you
