This game was a collaborative project for the Integrated Game Studio 2 class I took in college. This is an idle management game where the player is a pirate who is trying to become the wealthiest crew on the sea by gathering and trading resources, raiding new cities, and recruiting ship members. While traversing the sea, the player could engage in various battles and mini-games. This was the first game where I worked on a team alongside another programmer. So, we split up the work needed to be done for this project. This is so when we are working on the project at the same time, there is less of chance to overwrite each others work and; then having to deal with the complexities of combining two versions of a script into one script that could include both of our efforts.

For my part of the project, I was mainly the Mini-Game programmer and UI Programmer. We decided to add 3 mini-games to this to add more interactivity for when after the player arrives at the city. For the UI, I had a hand in the shop system, allowing players to buy ship, resources, and crew members. I also helped with the map scene by having the cities be clickable and helped with the raiding system. The game also has a save system, allowing the player to save resources they collected, trades that are still in progress, and cities that they have raided.
