The marvels of adventure games will always come and go, but nothing stands the test of time better than a game where you can pillage, plunder, and sail the seven seas with friends. Finding these games are always a challenge, so here we have 20 pirate games with swashbuckling adventures great and small.

Epic Gamer Moment

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

A/n- Hope y'all enjoy these. I included what I think Millie, Loona and Fizz's animal crossing island themes would be.

Contents; swearing, romantic relationships, some gamer slang (?), gender neutral reader

feat; Millie, Fizzarolli, Loona

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Gaming can be a great way to relax and spend time with your partner(s) and spark some playful competition...

Millie would love action/adventure and FPS/RPG games. I think she would generally go for faster paced games with lots of action and teamwork like Fortnite or Overwatch. If Millie is going to play a slower game, it either has to have an interesting story or cool visuals. That's where games like Legend of Zelda, Undertale, and Flinthook come in. (And, of course, Animal Crossing). If Millie is gaming with her partner(s), she'll probably want to party up in Overwatch so everyone can play together (and have a coordination advantage). Absolutely cusses out toxic players, omg. Especially if someone harasses her partner(s). Whoever messes with y'all gets verbally destroyed, then blocked and reported by Millie. I think she'd be a fast fucking typer, ngl. She's also a super supportive teammate. No matter how bad the game is going, she's always cheering everyone on. I'd like to think she'd wear those headphones with the light-up cat ears because that shit is so cute. Millie is also a big fan of having matching/complimentary aesthetics for your animal crossing islands. Millie's is a western theme with communal vegetable gardens and lots of black roses everywhere. Visits her partner(s)' islands regularly and chats with all the villagers.

Fizzarolli cannot handle online/team games. They're too fast and overstimulating, and I don't think he'd enjoy trying to keep up. However, get him on Harvest Moon, Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley and he's obsessed. I also think he'd love some of the old school Pokémon games. When Fizz is playing on his switch, he loves to broadcast whatever game he's playing onto the TV and sit on the couch and cuddle his partner(s). He's another who would wear cute gamer shit, like the headphones with ears, and little face stickers! Fizz gets super invested in the storylines of whatever game he's playing, and is determined to finish every task and request from villagers or in-game love interests. He'd work so fucking hard on getting a five star island in animal crossing or completing farming tasks in Harvest Moon. Also really enjoys in-game collectibles. Fizz appreciates aesthetics, and would go all-out with the cute gamer look. That would include getting LED lights and projectors to decorate the walls, light up keyboards, those really cute headphone stands, and a cute switch accessory case. Fizzarolli's Animal Crossing island has a circus theme with lots of stages/performing areas and outdoor cafes with open mic stands.

Other than Millie, Loona is probably the most competitive gamer out of their whole group. She also enjoys online competitive games, such as Valorant and Overwatch. just don't let her connect to VC; she's got some serious gamer rage. Loona generally isn't horrible about it, but toxic players and enemy teams can be frustrating, so occasionally, she goes off in /team chat. Like Millie, Loona will cuss out toxic players. Loona gets super invested in the games, so even if she's gaming with her partner(s), she'll have a hard time "just relaxing." She generally doesn't like slower paced games, but I think everyone would have a soft spot for Animal Crossing. (And I wanna believe everyone would visit each other's islands). For Loona's island, I think she would either have a gothic or city theme goin on. Lots of trees and sitting areas with tarot card sets and flowers scattered around. I think Loona would have a lot of fun with battle passes and seasonal events. It really helps her with having fun with competition, rather than getting hyper-aggressive. Loona also has some gamer set-up type things; Comfortable gaming chair, LED lights, and she probably uses a mic stand instead of headphones.

Research on Artsits

Week 1:

Army Of Trolls:

Armt of trolls is the portfolio of london born, videogame obsessed artist Gary J Lucken. Working from his Studio in Poole, Dorset, UK, surrounded by Japanese toys and piles of old 2D videogames.

There is a lot going on in their work and it is very crowded they use shadows and gradient to make the photo look 3D and they don't use black outlines

They also use an isometric view point for their work.

Octavi Navarro / Pixels huh:

They develop approachable, narrative video games crafted with tons of love

Octavi Navarro is a pixel artist and developer who worked on games like Thimbleweed Park and Photographs.

Susanna Granell takes care of the studio's business side, social media, and writing. She loves coffee.

Their most distinctive feature is our unique visual style, combined with original and risky narrative stories that resonate with players.

Octavi uses layering, shadows and gradient to give a perspective of looking underneath the ground or a race track. They also use no black outlines on their work

Derek Yu-Spelunky:

Yu has designed and co-designed several award-winning games, most famously Spelunky, Aquaria, and Eternal Daughter.He is also notable as a blogger and custodian of the influential TIGSource blog/community about independent video games.

Speluncky is a 2008 2D platform game The player has to explore and dodge traps as they progress.

Most of these games are from the 90s and early 2000s. 3d graphics were still crude and before indie game developers truly picked up the mantle.

Derek uses some black outlines however not everything is outlined in black and instead is a gradient of what the colour of the object is

Batman (Famicom/NES). Sunsoft, 1990.

Johan Vinet:

They worked on game Animations for Adventure time and Flinthook.

They learned pixel art on an Atari 1040STF with 16 colors.

Castaway is a family friendly, short and charming action-adventure game.

"Embark on an action-packed adventure in Castaway, diving players into a pixelated and retro universe. Assume the role of Martin, whose spaceship crash-landed on an uncharted island where his faithful pet was taken by hostile creatures. Retrieve your weapons and venture out to rescue your kidnapped companion in this endearing and unexpectedly dynamic world. Beat the 3 bosses in the concise and delightful "Story Mode" to unlock the thrilling and addictive "Survivor Mode." Ascend a 50-floor tower, with each level presenting increasingly challenging trials!"

Johan uses black outlines on all their objects and characters, they use power ups and their game cast away is like an escape and fight game.

Week 2:

Michael Myers:

They use low resolution canvases to construct his characters and objects and shows that they are still recognizable without a black outline.

He also makes it seem easy to create something on 8 bit when he still is able to make it look great.

Don Bluth:

Don uses a sketch to begin with and then once he is happy with his design he then goes over it in thicker pencil. He also uses a lot of curves and not a lot of straight lines.

don uses lines to begin working on his character to make sure it is aligned.

Mary Blair:

Mary uses plain colours and adds to them as she creates her character. she worked on many films like peter pan and cinderella and would create the shape and colour design for them.

Mary created children's books with her art work. she used a lot of different colours and used them to make her characters and the area around them more vibrant and stand out.

Mary even created the colour scheme for the new attraction "its a small world" .

Super Meat Boy:

I like the use of the caves in the hell stage and the design of all the levels, the designers for this game used black outlines for their characters and their characters were very similar and didn't contain too much detail.

most of their characters would be solid block colours and still look very good, as the levels where built around the characters design, the levels worked well.

Castle Crashers:

The game designers designed the characters to look like knights to fit the theme of knights fighting enemies. I like the character design as its not too detailed but it used more than one main colour.

This game uses a black outline for their characters as well as using a coloured outline after the black outline.

Minit:

The game uses only two colours for the background and all the characters all the characters use a pallet of light grey and white to give them definition. I like how the character designers use just white and black as it shows a good game can be created without using loads of different colours

The game also uses in game dialogue to show the story of the game to the player.

How about video gaaames? :o

As far as video games go, I really only play pokemon, animal crossing, Undertale, hollow knight, flinthook, and Harvest Moon.

Out of those I'd probably only write for Harvest Moon or Undertale
