Gamer Pirate Store Release

This is something that was planned from a long time ago. I wanted to wait till the community expands but I said "Why would I wait? Do I know what's going to happen next?!" So I sent it!

Gamer Pirate Online Store is now open! You can shop through Shirts, Hoodies, Stickers, Games, and Accessories.
It's still in the beginning, expect more products to be available soon.

Take a look on the store here: https://gamerpirate.github.io/store/

Every purchase supports me and helps Gamer Pirate improve. I put every penny I get in game development and upgrading my pc so I can make more and better games.

Developer Update #5 (March 2019)

I don't know how to start this update post but...
I'm working on 2 new projects, I know that I keep starting new projects and not finishing them, but I have an explanation for that. I always think of the long term more than the short term, I have many projects that each one of them are about 70-80% complete, I don't want to publish them now because I have many problems now and will have much bigger problems in the near future.

Let's talk about the bad news first, since I'm still a student so I have to care about my education as much as I care about Gamer Pirate, well... I didn't. And I was surprised by the fact that I will have exams in the next 2-3 weeks, And I literally didn't study anything, so I will disappear for a while and get back after I finish these exams. The bigger problem is that the next education year will be my last year in high school, which means I have to focus 100% on education so I will disappear completely from 1st August, 2018 till I finish my exams after about 10 months from starting this education year.

With that being said, I planned to leave my big titles until I finish my last education year so I would have much time to work on them and make them better.

But I still want to release something this year, well... It won't be 1 game only!
I'm currently working on 3 projects!

The first main project will be a puzzle and building game, I have already talked a little about it in the last Developer Update post, but I didn't have enough time to announce it completely, so I will keep it a secret for now.
(Hint: It's a collaboration with another 3 awesome dudes, It will be a big title!)

The second project you already know about, it's called Way To Freedom Project, not for too long though.
I'm thinking of another name for it. This game is a mobile targeted game, with simple gameplay and graphics, you can know more about it by following the game's daily updates, you can check out the last update here: https://thegamerpirate.blogspot.com/2019/03/way-to-freedom-day-5.html

The last project is still in the very early development, I'm still waiting for some people to join the team, at the time I'm writing this post the team consists of (programmer, sound designer, composer, cars modeller), I'm still waiting for (UI/HUD designer, World designer & modeller, Graphics/particle effects maker), this way we can finish this game in a short time. If you want to join us then check out this post: https://thegamerpirate.blogspot.com/2019/03/announcing-new-racing-project-with-need.html
And no, it's not Highway Stunter, it will be a completely different project.

The last thing I want to talk about is that Watch Out PC Edition will be updated soon after I finish my exams. This update will be the biggest one for it.

Wish me luck in my exams.
See you soon.

Announcing a New Racing Project With Need For Some Developers

I'm working on a new project and want some people to work on it with me.
I need a 3D Cars modeller, a 3D world modeller, a UI/HUD designer, sound effects maker, and a Graphics/particle effects maker.

Intro: Ever wanted to play a nice driving game on your smartphone? what if we had Need For Speed Underground 2, Midnight Club, Real Racing 3, and Forza Horizon 4, then we mixed all of them in a lightweight game that you can play on your smartphone/pc, Imagine how awesome this would be, it sounds crazy but it will be easy to do, I want to have some people with me so everyone can focus only on his role and do the best he can do. We won't go crazy, it's a smartphone game so we won't have a big world or a lot of cars. And we will also won't have a tiny world and a small number of cars. We will be in the middle.

The Main Idea: This project will be an open-world game, player will race in the streets of the city, earn money, then he chooses what he want to do with it, upgrade & customize the car or buy a new one.

Deadline: Since we will be about 5-6 persons then we shouldn't take too long to finish the game. Deadline is: 1st of August, 2019

Targeted Platform(s): • Android • Windows PC (port)

Roles Required: • Cars/Car Parts 3D designer & modeller • World designer & modeller • UI/HUD designer • Sound Effects maker • Graphics & Particle Effects maker

Requirements: • Have a Discord account • Cooperator person • Work at least 7 hours a week • Uses Unity Engine

What's Already Done: I have wrote an advanced code for a fully functional car, Day/Night system, XP & Levelling system, Coins system, and a basic car customization system.

Are You Interested?: If you want to ask about anything or want to work with me on this project. Join the Discord Server: https://discord.gg/rgBwhvR

What will you get?: Everyone will have a cut from the game's revenue after we publish it. Everyone will also have their name in the game's credits and in the game's website. We are all equal, no one is better than the other.

About Me: I'm Yousif Ragab, I have been using Unity since 2015, and I have been in C# programming for more than 3 years, I have 2 published titles with more than 100K downloads. I'm working on a big project with a studio, but I wanted to make this game for a long time.

Way To Freedom - Day 5

Day 5 of development.
I made Level 6, started working on the game's models (sketches), and made a Levels Screen with Level Unlock and level loader systems.

I also thought of a new name for the game and thought of the main idea of the game so I can transfer this project from concept stage to real development.

Way To Freedom - Day 4

#Day_4

New level, new obstacle, new main menu!

I made level 5 which introduces a new obstacle, the sensor bomb. It will decrease your health. Oh about the health.. I made a health system, if you die you lose, I designed a Game Over screen too.

I also made a basic design for the Main Menu.

Way To Freedom - Day 3

Here we go again, #Day_3
On day 3 I finished Level 3, and made level 4

I don't focus much on this game because I have some other projects and my study, I have a very limited time to work on my games but I'm trying to do my best.

(Screenshot from the game engine)

I made a HUD too, it's basic but keep in mind that this game is still like a concept.

Also made a Pause Screen.

(Level 3)

(Level 4)



That's all for this blog post.
I will see you soon.

Way To Freedom - Day 2

#Day_2
Started this day by making level 2, I tweaked the AI system a little, made the buttons disappear when the player triggers them, I also added added a sliding animation to the doors.

I designed the Finished screen and added functionality to Restart, and Main Menu buttons.
And made the finish line triggers this screen too.

I also made a notification that says "You got a new friend!" when you are nearby a friend.

I finished day 2 by working on some of level 3.

Announcing a new project (Way To Freedom) - Day 1

New month, new project.
I'm making a cool mini project targeted primarily for smartphones.
I will keep you updated day by day, I want you to be part of my journey of developing this game. This is #Day_1 of development.

So on day 1 I made the early concept of the game, made the AI system work, added doors with switches to open them, a finish line, and added a friend that follows the player when the player is nearby him.
