Release delay

Hi, I have some news about the release of Sailwind, which was originally planned for 15 Oct - there will be a small delay due to to technical reasons. If everything goes well, the delay shouldn't take more than a few days. I'll keep you updated in case of any further delays. Thank you for your patience. If you're curious what exactly happened, here's the story - I was convinced the final game build was correctly submitted and approved for release, but yesterday I noticed that in fact it wasn't even submitted for review yet. Not sure how I could've missed that, I'd like to blame the Steam dev site for not displaying the information correctly, but realistically it's probably just my oversight. In any case, the review process should only take one or two more days, and the game will be released as soon as the build is approved. There is a possibility of further delays if the build fails the review though, so let's hope that doesn't happen! Stay tuned for further announcements. Again, thanks for your patience and understanding.

SAILING

Full realistic sailing physics – in order to sail successfully, you’ll have to tack, reef the sails in heavy weather, keep track of the direction of the wind to find the perfect angle. Watch out for the ever changing weather and waves!

Six boats of different sizes and sail plans to choose from, each with its own unique sailing characteristics and performance.

ADVENTURE & SURVIVAL

There are many reasons to set sail – cargo delivery, fishing, exploration, or simply for pleasure.
Looking for some relaxation? Enjoy the sunny beaches and crystal clear waters around the tropical archipelagos.
Ready for an adventure? Buy a big boat, stock up on supplies, plot your route and set sail for an epic ocean voyage, where you will battle high waves, heavy winds, and where running out of food or water is a real danger.

OPEN WORLD

The world consists of many islands across three distinct regions, each with unique climate, architecture and economy. Drop anchor or dock your boat, step off and explore each island freely. Make sure to stock up on food and water – both in game and in real life, as a journey across the ocean can take many hours of real time with no land in sight!

NAVIGATION

Use navigation instruments such as the compass and quadrant to determine your heading and position. Observe the sun and stars, chart your position on the map, and hope you don’t get too far off course on the long journey across the vast ocean.

BOAT CUSTOMIZATION

Your boat is your home on the sea. Make it feel cozy by customizing with furniture, decorations and paint. Cook your own food, clean and polish the deck, and at the end of the day, sit in a chair and have some rum or smoke a pipe while watching the sunset.
