Hello, I am currently looking for pixel artists to work on Pirate Souls, a 2D ORPG made with Intersect Engine playable on Steam. It is a paid job. It will mainly consist about drawing items, hairs and clothes paperdolls. We want as many pixel artists as we can, so you can consider this topic relevant no matter how old it is. Feel free to share your contact if you are interested. Here's a preview of our character base. Our character base in action. Below the game trailer. We are approximately 4 active staff members. If you are interested, you can DM me with some of your work here or on Discord (Shenmue#8867). Thanks!

Haha thanks really appreciated! Btw it's great to see Leafling evolution!

Thanks , hopefully more coming soon!

You will have to download the version on Steam. The old client will not work.

Nice thanks, hopefully you will prefer the beta

Hello everyone, Pirate Souls team has been working daily in order to offer a nice gameplay experience to players. The alpha was a great help for that, because it put in evidence the flaws of the game and allowed us to receive player feedback. After approximately one year since the alpha, we are glad to announce that Pirate Souls Beta will release this Friday 1st July 16 h 00 UTC on Steam! Go to Pirate Souls Steam page NEW FEATURES IMPROVEMENTS EXPECTATIONS We expect fewer bugs and exploits than in the alpha for sure! This year of development gave us the time to focus more on content and quality. As we added more techniques, our main goal was to make the PVP and PVE funnier. So, there might be balance issues, but we are confident in the choices we made and we are open to suggestions as always. WHAT’S LEFT We wanted to add a ship navigation system for the beta, but we didn’t have the time to do so. Once the beta is stable and smooth running, we will definitely focus on that and the possibility to have a faction/alliance controlling an island. A more detailed announcement on the road map of Pirate Souls should be coming in the near future. WILL THERE BE A WIPE? Since the game is no longer in an alpha state, we are not currently planning on doing a wipe. Players can evolve without the fear of losing their progression. SPECIAL THANKS We would like to thank our Discord community. They are very supportive and have great ideas. Thanks to them, we implemented a lot of elements that we didn’t think about. We would also like to thank our publisher, Hitspark, and the developers of Intersect Engine.

Great thanks JC, will test that out!

Hello guys, Intersect Engine is cross-platform, but does anybody know how to export a game for macOS or Linux? I tried to share the client with all the files generated when building it for a release. I also tried different methods based on the MonoGame documentation article below without success. Package games for distribution | MonoGame Documentation Any help would be appreciated

The game is now officially released! If you want to try it, here is the download page: https://piratesouls.org/ Not yet, but we do intend to implement it!

Thanks! Haha great, will be nice to see you in game! PS the game will launch at 7 PM UTC. I will send the download link when the time will come
