Hi Guys.
As many of you know there have been changes in management and ownership with ProLudo. The company will now go back to solely distributing games and ceased it's publishing activities. When this was announced I assured you all that this would not affect Age of Piracy as this was what I was told. The producer from ProLudo simply went to another company and spearheaded the project from there. I was told that everyone loved the game and it would be ready in time for GenCon (and I kept working to finalize things). However it turns out that this company also got a new manager and Age of Piracy was not the kind of pirate game he was looking for. So after wasting a year of jumping through hoops to please everyone I was informed about the games cancellation in a brief email (a day before my deadline to finalize all the content!).
Obviouslt this both saddens and angers me to no end. I have spent an enormous effort, time and finances to see this out the door and to have it shelved due to random changes in management is heartbreaking.
What all this means is that we are now actively seeking out new publishers. However realistically it will be very hard to get a publisher to do such a component heavy “semi-ameritrash” game – and even if we get one it will take quite a while before the new publisher will have it ready.
I want to sincerely thank you all for your interest and support and hope that you will be playing this game some day. I still honestly believe that this is the pirate game that is missing from the lot.
Kind regards,
Christian


























































My daughter was even kind of impressed, sort of, maybe a little bit, I think, when I told her that I had named a Pirate game.
