A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

Bootyisland

Welcome to the Bootyisland project page. I'm glad you found it.
To spare you a waste of time: This is a preview and NOT a finished game. If you feel exploratory, read on and I hope you like it.

If you have feedback on how to improve the game, I would be happy to hear about that.

About the Project

Bootyisland is a game that aims to combine the genres City Builder and Action RPG. It is being developed by a single person (me).
So let me introduce myself in two sentences:

Hi! I'm Johannes and I'm based in Hamburg (Germany). First and foremost I'm a programmer, but I also like 3D Modelling and other tasks related to game development.

The assets you can currently see (or hear) are made by myself or from various Asset Packs, but most of them will be replaced later (especially icons... I know ;-) ).
Since there is no funding for the game so far, I am trying to finish it in my free time. This will probably take a while.

State of the Preview

This is a preview which is intended to show the core ideas behind the game. There is not a lot of content yet and you will probably encounter some bugs, maybe performance issues and some crashes (but hopefully not). Also a lot of functionality will be extended or improved, so if you see something odd happening (like characters sitting next to chairs instead of on them), chances are good that this will be improved later. Especially the combat system requires polishing. 

If you're struggling with the combat, you can buy the "Sword of Super Death" from the blue vendor to the left of the player spawn location. I added this for testing purposes and is way too powerful for the final game, but it will make short work of overpowered enemies.

What you can do right now (within the mentioned limits):

* Build your own pirate town

* Explore your Island

* Fulfill quests from your town's inhabitants

* Interact with the world you created

* Customize your Character with equipment found from various sources

What is planned?

There is a bunch of ideas for further features I'm planning on adding to the game. To name a few:

* More buildings and Resources

* Inhabitants moving to or from the island based on happiness

* More and different Quests

* Treasure hunts on other islands

* Fight creatures known from sailor yarns

* Combat skill tree

* ...

Install instructions

Windows:

After downloading, simply unzip the package and run the Bootyisland.exe file in the Windows folder.

If you have already installed the C++ Runtime on your machine the game will immediately start (if you have already played other games on your PC, it is probably already installed). Otherwise, an installation wizard will show. Just follow the installation instructions.

Linux:

After downloading, unzip the packacke and make the Bootyisland.sh executable:

  1. Open a terminal and navigate to the unpacked location (the one with the Bootyisland.sh)
  2. run "chmod +x ./Bootyisland.sh" (without the "")
  3. run "./Bootyisland.sh" (this can take a few minutes the first time you run it, so try to be patient)
