Our approach to making games is to find the fun first and then use the technology to enhance the fun.

It may be that other developers are finding that their games play better on one platform over the other, so they're choosing to migrate to that platform.

I love Age of Empires and I play RTS games all the time, I respect what they've accomplished.

Our hope is to deliver an incredibly fun and compelling game that will give the fans more than what they've been waiting for, and show a whole new generation of gamers how much fun it is to live the life of a pirate!

Right now we're working on finishing up Pirates! for the Xbox, we're developing Civilization IV and we've got a couple other games in development that we'll tell you about soon.

Our goal has been to stay true to what people most love about the original Pirates! while upgrading, enhancing, and in some cases, re-inventing the game to make it a great experience for today's gamers.
