This is a pirate girl for a game I'm working with. Not doing kickstarters working on my own budget

Spooky ghost ship.

Are you focusing more on Piracy, High Seas adventure and ocean themes or are you focusing more on the exploration and treasure hunting aspects?

All of it sounds good

Treasure hunting is the easy path to take. Then make a female rival for her that works for a different group of pirates/WIC

There actually is a female rival who happens to be a cowboy

This feels like a good mix of Paper Mario aesthetics with less simplified character design.

How much of this game do you have or is it just you drawing things so far? I'd love to see a game that looks like this but there's not much to go off of without seeing basic gameplay.

Make a reference to Shantae
If you include a bootleg shantae just make sure to make her extremely fucking stupid.

nice

both but also a worldy adventure visiting different lands with different themes but all blending in well

Scrap it and make a goddamn Puzzle Pirates spiritual successor with Detective Layton puzzles.

Mario's just a placeholder for now, and rn all i have developed is the overworld. Working on perfecting it before I hit the turn based arena

Yeah I can see that. I'll make some changes
Hell yeah
DLC only :^)
kek sounds like a plan

I got a tip for you.
Make it Paper Wario instead of Paper Mario
You'll thank me later.

Is she being mind controlled?

yea that was unintentional, took advice to invert the original colors and add color and it just fit.
yeah man all those pirate creatures will be in

Cute.
How about a quest going down a chasm on the ocean floor via whirlpool and having to face progressively more creepy Eldritch horrors .

nah that's just girl eyes.
wario's been a main inspiration for her character so you got a rly good idea
yeah that sounds about awesome. honestly kinda mandatory with pirates

A crew that has been turned into anthropomorphic fruit and needs to lift the curse before an aggressive rival crew eats them (scurvy) or they begin to rot. Maybe make one start to introduce himself as 'Blackbeard' but quickly says he's 'Blackberry'. I'm drunk and just throwing things out there so no idea if it's been done before.

Fuckin sweet man. You may be taking this into consideration already but I'd hold off on doing animation outside of testing purposes until you settled on how the camera is placed.

Right now your characters design is sweet but if the camera is at a far enough distance you'll have to exaggerate her design more to let her important details stick out better. That's a big reason why Paper Mario makes the characters very bulky and simple in appearance so they don't waste energy on details the camera isn't picking up and hand/feet/facial movement are more visible.

I'd love to keep track of progress on how this turns out so please keep making it.

The ship gets sucked into the air by a typhoon and you're hailed by sky pirates
Are you gonna have party members? Pirates you invited into your crew?

A classic pirate story trope is that the primary swashbuckler has a dense history that might suddenly become relevant. Figurative and literal ghosts from the past come back to bite the main character in the ass, usually because of something they did wrong or half-assed previously.

I recommend giving the main character some skeletons in her closet that connect her to the main story and are revealed at a critical story moment. Having a main character with some personal connection to the story that isn't immediately apparent will distinguish it a bit from Mario.

Bug Fables did a good job with not giving everything away about the player characters right away.

well, since her rival is a cowgirl
>they see a maelstrom, but can't escape it
>turns out that was a time portal
>get teleported to 1800 US or something

Yes sir, party members induced into the crew.
kek looks like drunk ideas are really fucking rad
yeah i zoomed in for the gif shots since i couldnt record the entire screen and fit in. you make a good point and while i did consider the camera's importance i didn't go into that much depth. thanks for you helping me understand its importance. dw this is a dream game i will keep working on it

Good point. The only thing I'll reveal early on is her ambition, and how she got her powers. She was cursed by a siren to never speak again and only sing whenever spoken. She's able to hypnotise people much like a siren, and uses this to her advantage to steal and gain riches

This looks awesome, I hope you make one of those chapters where they get you, send you to jail or a Dungeon and you lose every single item temporary, I always like those "I need to sneak around and not get seen to get the keys to escape this place, get out of here and get everything back" sort of deal
