Background: The Spanish Privateer was originally an incomplete demo submitted for the 2018 Otome Game Jam, thanks to the joint effort of volunteers. Two years later, the script for the full game was finished, but the volunteers were no longer available. In order to raise funds to purchase the remaining assets, a Kickstarter was launched in September, 2020. This ultimately failed, but the Kickstarter brought a lot of attention to an otherwise unheard of game, and thanks to reviews, social media mentions, and a change in the worldwide pandemic, the next Kickstarter launched in April of 2021 succeeded. Following over a year of production, The Spanish Privateer was launched September 16th, 2022.
