A long time ago in a galaxy that is the exact same one we're in now, designer Sid Meier and a team of game developers created a computer game that many fans still consider to be a sentimental favorite. The original Pirates! let you play as a buccaneer during the Age of Sail, engaging in profiteering to become the most accomplished sea captain in the New World, which you could accomplish not only by exploring and trading, but also by participating in minigames, like sword duels with rival pirate captains that could potentially increase your reputation and wealth. The new game will reprise the classic game with all-new graphics and all-new minigames. And best of all, it's finally done. Now that development on the game is complete, lead animator Dennis Moellers shares his final thoughts on his side of the story--the game's character animations--as well as on the completed game itself.
