Development [edit]

Sea of Thieves was developed by the UK-based developer Rare. Almost all of Rare'due south 200 staff members worked on the game.^[25] The team began conceptualizing the game in 2014 and wanted to create a title where players can create stories together. The team took five months to create the game'south playable paradigm named Athena using the Unity game engine.^[26] After playing the prototype, Microsoft'south executives including Phil Spencer and Kudo Tsunoda agreed to green-light the game's development.^{[27] [28]} Rare employees as well provided the voice for all of the non-playable characters.^[29] Ocean of Thieves marked Rare's shift from using its own proprietary engine to using Unreal Engine iv.^[30]

Rare was frequently considered to be a secretive studio. Since Sea of Thieves is a multiplayer-focused game, the studio adopted a more transparent approach to the game'southward development to ensure that the game'due south content would resonate with players.^{[31] [26]} The squad allowed fans to take part in the game'south development by joining the Insider'south Program, which granted players admission to an early build of the game. The program allowed Rare to experiment with unlike features while collecting players' feedback. The participants could also hash out with the developers in a private forum.^[32] More than thirty,000 players joined the program.^[33] Through the program, Rare learnt more about how players collaborate with each other and used the data to help the team brand gameplay decisions;^[34] for instance, the squad decided to include solo play after many players from the Insider's Program requested it.^[35]

Influences and setting [edit]

"I love the idea of things happening in the world that literally tin shape the ongoing fabric and lore of Bounding main of Thieves. The Black Bristles of Ocean of Thieves existence a real histrion in a existent coiffure with a real name - that's really hard to do if you've already painted everyone downwardly a path yous want them to go through"

— Joe Neate, executive producer of Rare^[36]

Studio director Craig Duncan described Ocean of Thieves as the "friendliest" multiplayer game.^[36] While Rare is traditionally a console game programmer, it realized how players from PC survival games like DayZ and Rust, and simulation games such as Eve Online, crafted their own stories by using the tools provided in the game. Nevertheless, Rare remarked that these games are often very punishing in nature, and the squad aspired to create a more calorie-free-hearted and attainable version of these games.^[37] Body of water of Thieves was designed to be a "light canvass of a world" where players create their own stories.^[36] The game did non characteristic whatsoever narrative component at launch considering the team felt that by offering players a structured narrative, they would only be playing an handcrafted feel. Joe Neate, the game's executive director, described the game as an "improv" comedy, and added that the game is about going "off-script".^[36] Rare shaped the world and the game's lore to reflect players' actions, including various easter eggs to celebrate their actions or achievements. The squad believed that if a narrative campaign is included, incorporating players' actions into the game'due south lore would become difficult.^{[36] [37]}

The company explored different settings for the game, such as vampires and dinosaurs, though it eventually settled on the pirate theme considering it matched the game's core concept which encourages cooperation. Rare also saw less competition in the marketplace.^[38] The pirate theme allows players to have the freedom to do what they want in the game's world and determine freely how they desire to play and comport. The team looked at various sources for inspiration, including Pirates of the Caribbean area and Blackness Sails. Designer Mike Chapman believed a lot of parallels can be drawn between Sea of Thieves and The Goonies, in which a grouping of friends bond together while they search for treasure, creating a journey that all of them would fondly remember.^[37] Neate added that the game'south goal was to evoke "[a] sense of travel and exploration and discovery",^[29] and the team was inspired past The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker.^[39] The team implemented the "infinite pirate generator" instead of assuasive players to customize their avatar as they feared that some players would create "abominations" that would non have fit the game's visual style.^[xl] The game features a stylized visual style with hand-painted textures.^[41] Duncan added that the team chose this painted art way because they wanted it to be "timeless" and reverberate the "joyful" and "delightful" game globe.^[33]

Gameplay design [edit]

Rare noticed that in many multiplayer games, experienced players would focus on grinding for endgame content instead of playing with other players, while novice players would worry about their progression lagging significantly behind more experienced players. Therefore, the squad introduced "horizontal progression", in which players would but earn cosmetic items every bit they accomplish a higher rank; all items have the same attributes, so endgame content would not confer gameplay bonuses to experienced players. This progression system encourages more experienced players to assist novice players when they are completing voyages, and reduce the gap between the two experience levels.^{[37] [42]} As a "shared world" hazard game, Rare opted to maintain the distance betwixt each player group in a server rather than limiting the number of players a server can accommodate, so that players become to encounter other players regularly but not too frequently. Chapman estimated that a actor will run across another role player-controlled ship every 15 minutes to one-half an hour.^[43]

The gameplay was designed to encourage player interactions and to exam the actor'southward soft skills. Players need to practice their mutual sense in order to solve the challenges: for instance, players demand to learn to read maps. To encourage players to develop these skills, the game does non feature a beginner'south tutorial every bit the squad wanted players to find the game'south mechanics by themselves.^[37] The squad also intentionally avoided setting gameplay rules to encourage players to utilize their creativity.^[35] Despite this, Rare also included emergent gameplay in a more systemic manner by introducing shipwrecks and forts that players can find. Chapman described these locations of interest every bit the "catalyst for stories" which describe different players together, fostering cooperation or competition. Beingness attacked by sea monsters also add a layer of unpredictability to the game every bit these encounters are random.^[37] Due to the emergent gameplay, Sea of Thieves was also considered as a "watchable and sharable game", and the team hoped that this will lure players who watched the game on video game live streaming platforms such as Twitch or Mixer to purchase it.^[25]

While the game allows solo play, the game is designed to be a multiplayer game in which players cooperate with each other. Chapman added that cooperative gameplay enhances the experience because "it makes sense in the world".^[44] The game does not characteristic whatever character course or specialization to encourage players to prefer different roles.^[45] The maximum crew size is four equally Rare felt that if the group is too large, it does not reflect a sense of "intimate friendship" and players may splinter off and hinder inter-player advice.^[46] Neate described the game as a "friendship creation tool" and hoped that the game could become a platform where players tin can befriend strangers.^[26] Rare further added that they felt they accept the responsibleness to create a "positive online social space".^[47] Blueprint changes were made to champion the concept of cooperation and friendship. For instance, players cannot injure others in the same crew,^[47] and all rewards are shared equally amidst crew members.^[26] In one of the game's early prototypes, players in the same crew can beguile each other, though the characteristic was scrapped because the team felt that the experience was "horrible".^[48] Neate added that the game provided "literally no reason or motivation to practise annihilation other than cooperate".^[47] Rare incorporated several anti-toxicity measures. For instance, players can vote to lock a disruptive actor into the brig.^[49]

The second expansion, Cursed Sails, introduced skeleton ships controlled by bogus intelligence (AI). Despite being determined about not doing so prior to the game'due south launch, the team decided to implement the feature as information technology was one of the biggest fan requests.^[73] The Ceremony update that added both Alpine Tales and Arena mode was so massive that it was described as a "relaunch" for the game.^[77] All the expansions are gratuitous of charge equally they did not want to divide the player base.^[73] Smuggler's Fortune, which was released in September 2019, added the Pirate Emporium, a new store that supports microtransactions.

Each adventure was designed every bit a chapter in a long story, as the team hoped that these alive events can "bring a sense of continual danger to the globe".
