Even though it might be tempting to play Urban Pirate as a single-player game, and go through the tough struggle it is, to rise from a petty thief to an urban pirate, this game has a meta structure of street-smart guides which can help you, change your style, or perhaps inspire you to change your direction.
@ADHDan on YouTube Back when the urban pirates were just starting to appear, we saw YouTubers who shared their experience in order to show off their skills and have a laugh while playing a game in development. This quickly helped both us on the developing side but also fellow players who could see that several aspects of the game could be played in various ways (e.g. skating the streets and making some nice combos seemed at first incomprehensible for one player ːurbaninsaneː but after watching another player's video he got inspired to skate in new way).
@Grandpuh Ty "Lean 2 Skate" on YouTube Later when the final game was launched a fellow pirate had trouble escaping the store detective - simply because she hadn't thought of jumping over those benches and banana peels. This was her reply:
And she was right. She did what any true pirate would do: watch, learn and RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN ːurbanhappyːːurbanhappyː Eventually Tiff got it and she may be the first pirate to show off her jetpack, some painted trains or a disguise kit? Life as an urban pirate is unpredictable ːurbanspraycanː
@tiffplays on YouTube Rencently Funky Fred started his Comprehensive Guide For Hating Yourself/Playing Urban Pirates which is great fun, especially if you remember reading those old gaming magazines that had walkthroughs and cheats! You should check it out.
We believe that this community of urban pirates who share knowledge and experiences is the best way to exprience the whole game, for us, the devs, but also for the players. The guide included in the game is just a template of inspiration on how to survive and become more than a petty thief. When we were kids we used to learn from our friends, siblings, cousins, uncle and aunts when we were screwed in a game and needed some inspiration on how to tackle the levels. There was no www or Let's Plays. Now we have the whole world. A whole world of urban pirates who will slowly start showing off weed farms, 360 flips, whole-cars and a city on fire. A BIG shoutout to all you street rats and slum lords who made it through the tough beginning and posted videos! A world of sun, cold drinks and hammocks awaits you! ːurbanhappyːːdirtymoneyː ːurbansocialːKeep sharing and showing off ːurbansocialː Ahoy!
