Caribbean Island: A Pirate Adventure is a point-and-click adventure game in the old-school style titles you know and love! With these influences in mind we're creating an epic, fun and challenging new adventure.

The game focuses on the story of Oliver.
Oliver is an eccentric pirate seeking treasures.
And survives mostly by using wit and negotiation rather than weapons or force.
Our hero will arrive to an island and the only way to start the adventure is with your help.

The initial plan is to have 4 chapters on the game. If we reach extra goals we can add a 5th and 6th chapter.
We hope to have the game done in around mid 2014.

With your help, Caribbean Island will become a reality—forged by Voon in 2D graphics in 1536p resolution!!, and it will be available for PC, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android. Hopefully if we reach an extra goal it will be on GameStick and OUYA too.

We need your help on indiegogo:
http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/caribbean-island-a-pirate-adventure/ (http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/caribbean-island-a-pirate-adventure/)

Update 1: We are also going to bring a pixelated version so you can choose to play on full HD graphics or old-style pixel art (you can change it at anytime of the game).

Thanks for taking the time to read!

2 things:
- you say you need money for voice acting, but full voice acting is a stretch goal...so what kind of voice acting is included in the original goal?
- just a heads up, link to the indiegogo page is incorrect

Anian,

Thanks!, link fixed :)
Voice acting is a stretch goal. Voice acting is not included on the original goal (that's why we set it as stretch goal).
Thank you for your feedback.

So what does this game offer that Monkey Island hasn't already delivered? It seems to be hewing dangerously close to it's source material, and the intro we've seen is rather tepid and by the numbers.

It's pretty, but nothing has been shown that really makes me want to buy it. What makes this game stand out?

Good luck with the campaign!

Don't want to sound rude but I have the same questions as Scavenger. What's the interface like? Could you show some more screenies?
The video shows the same background all the time.
It does look nice but a lot like MI, a game that we all love but has already been re-done professionally.
Sorry if it sounds like I'm just putting your efforts down, it clearly took talent and hard work to produce what you've shown us.
