Very awesome! Can't wait to get my episode out!

[@AhauLobo]

I didn't know even half the stuff you achieved in this dev-log was possible in Roblox! Amazing stuff. The water is looking fantastic. I thought you were just going to use Terrain water, haha. Can't wait for more episodes!

[@AshRBX_dev]

Appreciate the kind comment and glad I could show you something new, will have a new episode on the devlog very shortly

[@User-mj9rl]

You could try to use smart bones for the sails because smart bone makes the material much better and more reactive

[@pestik.]

this is awesome man, this video deserves way more views than it has rn. - this is way better than random kids learning how to script while making a video and calling it a devlog.

[@AshRBX_dev]

Appreciate it, I tried to go a bit more in depth with what I’m doing and I didn’t want to post something that shows no progress at all, hence this video 😂

[@PuffyfishRBX]

7:57 btw roblox has a wind feature that grass can move to in that direction

[@shinogaming4978]

So i have some nice things you could add! Bucanners outfits with plumes and all. Theses are the 1600s ones but you could add boars and wild cows to hunt and cook! This was their job at first. Now they used a different type of musket and a black powder special for it straight from Cherbourg, france! They are like snipers but arent that good at navigation. They were able to move on small ships or pyragua. Now in a fight, they were employed as sharpshooter in the crow nest and riggin! Hope you didnt gave up!

[@LeapInno]

Looks nice with the textures.

Thanks! Will do, glad you enjoyed

I’d love to see more of this project.

[@rebornnebula2488]

Woah man this looks amazing

[@ArialSoftware]

I for sure know that this is going to be a very very good Game!

[@AshRBX_dev]

Appreciate the kind words! Will be improving the game massively in the next episode!

[@sky-tww]

would it be possible to make the center of gravity slightly towards the back end when accelerating forwards, but even out to the center depending on speed? this would show the boat hitting the waves and lifting up quite a bit

[@AshRBX_dev]

This is what the centre of mass does, In the video, the ship is bouncing quite aggressively because the force acting on it from below has a strength value set from inside the script, if I lower this force strength it will lower the buoyancy so I will showcase doing that in the next one :) 👍 I will also show how I do the boat movement in the next video and I will consider what you said in the next one

[@skator7356]

HELL YEAH, A PIRATE GAME ON ROBLOX 🤑😎

[@redstonereimagined]

It would be awesome if you could show us exactly how to do this ourselves.

[@AshRBX_dev]

I will definitely do a tutorial on the elements of this devlog at some point 👍

[@PuffyfishRBX]

7:19 its not a bug its a feature

[@tyridge7714]

What do you plan on doing differently than all the other pirate games on Roblox?

[@AshRBX_dev]

As I say in the video our aim for this devlog is to take inspiration from sea of thieves. A pirate game will always be a pirate game (looting, exploration on ships) however we plan on making it unique by adding a unique storyline which other games do not have, and also by making the visuals unique and really work on aspects like the AI NPCs.

[@PuffyfishRBX]

4:45 yk thats not bad

[@MoiveSRS]

how do you make a buoyancy system i cant find no vids

[@AshRBX_dev]

The buoyancy uses the centre of mass of an object and as the item goes below the ocean height, a normal force is given to the object based on its mass and the distance into the ocean the object is. I can do a tutorial once the dev log series is over if that’s helpful!

[@MoiveSRS]

@@AshRBX_dev yes please and thanks

[@zine_eddinex24]

💪💪

[@gdeveloper3309]

dang that looks pretty good! i got some questions, a while back when i tried doing this, i really struggled with buoyancy a lot, i wonder how you did it plzzz I had this ocean like urs that used that mesh deformation and gertsner wave thing i saw online, and i wanted to have a boat on it I tried following a tutorial on unity and tried to make it in roblox (which was buoyancy attempt #1) by having the 4 corners all have forces applied on them, it worked okay or something on the server side on flat water, but would just lag out and bounce into the stratosphere when a player was around (i think it was something to do with network ownership), then i tried using the center of mass but i think it got the same effect, good on server side, not rideable in game im wondering if there's a fix for buoyancy for network issues or something, or a way to steady the boat (i dunno if urs might be working right cuz in my attempts ive also seen weird behavior where the buoyancy part goes up when the waves are down and vise versa which kinda looks like ur buoyancy attempt #2) so my questions cuz i need help are: -you using roblox engine forces or positioning it with scripiting and math? -does your boat work well with players riding on it? -and does it look good with the waves, like going down when the waves go down and going up when the waves go up? -is the boat just naturally steady or do you have to apply some rotation thing to steady it?

[@AshRBX_dev]

Of course I’ll answer some of these questions, the buoyancy works by using the boats centre of mass and a formula that will apply a force based on the depth of the item in the water. If the item is out of the water, it will have no normal force applied to it therefore making it sink again. As you will see in episode 2, I had issues with what you’re mentioning with the ship turning as you stand on it. This was because the force was still being applied at the ships centre of mass but the player was pulling the real centre of mass away from the centre of the boat. This causes the boat to rotate and sink. I fixed this by adding something called Angular drag which I will explain in the next video. The boat does look good in the waves, however roblox studio isn’t 100% the best to work with forces from client to server so it’s the best we could come up with so far 😅, I did have the issue with it going up into space for no reason but I decided it was collision issues with the ship and Roblox server connection lag which wasn’t easy to get around.

[@Bni3i]

Is it gonna be chunk generated like Minecraft. I made a game similar to that using orgin points and start and finish blocks. Also for the islands you can duplicate terrain. Make the island with parts then use code to convert the island to a terrain after the player loads it in.

[@Bni3i]

*can’t duplicate terrain

[@AshRBX_dev]

Yeah the game is going to be chunk generated because otherwise the water would crash the game probs each time, and good tip, for the islands we are going to try different ways of procedurally generating terrain and your suggestion is definitely a possibility 👍

did u rig the leaves??

[@AshRBX_dev]

Yes, I used the rigging technique on the leaves and sails for the wind effect 👍

[@NimbleNeroo]

@@AshRBX_dev thats rly cool but wont that be laggy ?

[@AshRBX_dev]

There are ways to optimise this mechanic such as reducing the number of bones and reducing the amount of bones that get moved at a time which will increase efficiency. However in the long run a new solution will most likely be needed. In the case of the game, I will use render distance to reduce lag, when the player is far away from a tree, it doesn’t need to see it 👍

[@Roxaro]

umm if I am not wrong its already done in roblox

[@AshRBX_dev]

Yes most of the stuff you see today has already been achieved in Roblox, the game itself will be more unique because if you look at the games you can play in Roblox they in terms of a pirate game they are all similar and have no unique properties to them, which is where this game will differ in the future. Unfortunately for now all pirate games need an ocean, islands and a ship 😂👍

[@ICM9]

Just because something is done before doesn’t mean it can’t be reiterated and improved upon. We wouldn’t have over 99% of the games available to us, both on and off of Roblox, if we just gave up on ideas because they’ve been “done” already.

Wow! I wish i had seen this video earlier. I was actually making a game like this some time ago. Id of my game is 10179227183 (I posted a comment with the link but that comment got deleted because of the link i think) Anyways i was wondering how did you add foam to your ocean since i couldnt figure out how on my game. (If its not something secret) I actually lastly updated my game like 11 months ago and you kinda inspired me to get back on developing that game!

[@AshRBX_dev]

The foam is just a variation of a new wave that has an increased amplitude to the ocean waves that create the foam effect! In episode 2 I will be adding foam to the edges of the island and objects that float in the water and I will talk a little more about it, I will be sure to check out your game given by your ID! Love to see that I helped you get back into scripting
