Kickstarter Success for Indie Game ‘Ahoy’

Promoted to Captain

Back in April 2024, Scott was approached by the game developers at Capstan Games about being the voice of Captain Pennington, the main character in some early game material they were putting together to secure funding for their project entitle Ahoy.

An engaging open-world game set in the West Indies, 1780, a period of history where empires collide, revolution broods and the tropical waters of the Caribbean offer many delights as well as danger and treachery.

After a few remote directed sessions, with Scott working from his studio, some cutting edge facial capture experimentation, the team at Capstan Games had enough material for the time being.

 

Against a dramatic black background, the Ahoy Game character of Captain Pennington. He has blue eyes, a stern expression and is wearing a tricorn hat and the uniform of an 18th Century Naval Officer. He is on the right and staring into the distance towards foreground left. Written in flamboyant gold font to the left is the logo for 'Ahoy', with the bottom of the word's capital letter 'A' becoming a hashed line leading around and past the letter 'y' and up to where 'x' marks the spot. Centre shot is the @ symbol and beside that is the 'Future Games Show - Summer Showcase' triangular logo in blues, greens and white. Below all that is the following in gold and white: 'Full Trailer June 7th' together with screening times for different areas of the world.Narrating the Launch Trailer…

A few months later Capstan Games were working towards the release of their official launch trailer and kickstarter campaign at the Future Games Show 2025 – Summer Showcase.

 

Scott was called upon to narrate this trailer as Captain Pennington and if you would like to view the finished trailer then you can watch it as it appears in FGS Summer Showcase linked above or click on the clip below:

Ahoy is a game steeped in history that is seeking to be as historically accurate as humanly possible! So for those wishing to delve a little deeper in 18th Century West Indies, Capstan Games got Scott to narrate this wonderful documentary…

The kickstarter campaign has proven to be a huge success, garnering great interest in the project and securing funding to get the project out of dry dock into open water*. Keep in touch further developments…
