Pirate Party Pals

A cartoony multiplayer pirate party game: trade, plunder, hunt bounties, and dig treasure. Most gold when the timer ends wins. Supports online play and split-screen couch co-op together, for 1–12 players, with releases planned for PC, Mac, and Switch 2.

Built on a dual-layer architecture where gameplay simulates on a flat 2D plane while the 3D world renders on top, keeping game logic headless-testable. Five distinct ship classes, physics-heavy broadside combat, and a dynamic trade/bounty economy round out the systems.
