Pirates of the Burning Sea enjoys a good swashbuckling era of the 1700’s, and so it’s time to let avid roleplayers’ get their roleplay on reveals Flying Lab.
In the upcoming 1.16 patch the developers will be introducing ”Roleplay Rooms” so players have areas ”purely for RP events” in their nation’s capital. A devlog is keeping tabs on the update.
”We’ve been listening a lot to our role-player community recently, and they have been asking for some spaces that they can use purely for RP events. As a result, in 1.16, you will have your very own locales to hang out in and talk the talk, or dance the dance,” writes dev Xenobia.
”We decided to look for existing spaces that we could re-use for this purpose, as creating new rooms takes a lot of time, but we didn’t want the new RP spaces to look identical to existing rooms in the game. The challenge was working out how to make them look different without changing any of the room geometry or re-doing the lighting.”
”Either of those tasks would increase the size of the patch significantly, which is something we try to avoid. Luckily for us, there is a neat feature in our game editor that allows us to swap out one texture for another while leaving the underlying room intact.”
