Pirate Simulator BlackWake Far Surpasses KickStarter Goal

Ready to set sail with a bunch of rum-stinking pirates on smokey seas? Blackwake aims to satiate a desire for a pirate MMO that places players among the grit and smoke of an 18th century naval vessel at war. As a multiplayer FPS, players will fill distinct roles on the ship, similar to Guns of Icarus Online. And they'll have to cooperate if they don't want to become artifacts for James Cameron to find.

BlackWake far surpassed it's $10,000 Kickstarter goal, raising $171,422. And it's a rebooted Kickstarter. The duo-developers first attempt at raising money for their game failed on December 08, 2014, even though the game had been greenlit on November 26, 2014. Development on the game continued and it has paid off, as the unexpected funding success should allow the developers to add new features previously thought impossible, such as Sea Creatures.
