I'm a huge fan of MMO's. Been playing them since I moved stateside in 1996 because you can play againt people all over the world. I play with fellow Bahamians, Jamaicans, Americans, Koreans etc...

Anyway, while browsing online earlier I found this new game that is set to come out soon. It is called "Pirates of the Burning Sea". Instead of being set in a Fantasy world. It is set where the real pirates were. Mostly in the Bahamas and other parts of Caribbean in the year 1720.

Here is a review a fellow gamer made: http://www.whitewolfclan.net/pobs/review.htm

The main thing that caught my eye was the screenshot showing Andros and Hawksbill.

Hopefully in the future we can create our own MMO's. The software is available and I know we have the infrastructure. It would be a way for a small company with talented people to make money worldwide. I'm actually trying to tie my graphic design ability into this myself.

Heres the ocean screenshot showing Bahama islands if your don't want to take the link above: http://www.whitewolfclan.net/pobs/graphics/reviewopenseas3.jpg

I think you can sail to each island and disembark your ship and be a pirate, and while at sea you can shoot other ships etc. Anyway.... first game I seen with Bahamas in it. I'm crosssing my fingers that you can actually make a Bahamian character. Hope this game doesn't stink....

Heres a video link of the game: http://www.whitewolfclan.net/pobs/video/t_piratesburning_e32k7.wmv


Edit - Not sure if this is the right forum for this.

Yeah, but I'm saying I really think Bahamians can make a game company. I've played games made from South America, Korea, Japan, USA. Hopefully one day a few talented people will start something in the Bahamas.

Doesn't have to be a huge game. Look at the Russian game Tetris...it's just falling blocks.

We could, but first you need to find a Bahamian that is interested in games, that develops software, and is into graphics. I develop software but not interested in games.

Oh that's me..... LOL but I'm stateside. I don't make the software, there is plenty of free game engines out there. I do texturing and trying 3D modeling at the moment.

Maybe a solid flash game might be good starting point.

Hey cuzzin!

Screamus...looks like he knows the deal. I studied Commercial art, but always loved games. I live near a big company (EA Sports) and talked to a guy that did some work for them. I work in a different field all togther doing print design, but he told me the easiest way to transition my skills, would be texturing. So that's what I'm working on now. Gotta get ya foot in the door somehow.

Your boy is a cutie!

Tell him to move the bleach off his desk away from the water bottle though.

He might take a sop accidentally one night when he is tired from studying!

Hopefully one day we will have more careers besides tourism and banking. Not biting the hand that feeds us. But.... tech fields you can do anywhere as long as you have a way to get online (with highspeeds).

Curious? What did you study?

Perhaps you could design ultra high-tech video poker and gambling machines with fancy graphics and sell them from the Bahamas?
