Sail Customization update coming soon

Hi! It has been quite some time since the last update. This post is here for those of you who were worried about the recent lack of news, to let you know that development is still very much active and ongoing. The next update will the biggest and most technically complex one yet, which is why it's taking a lot longer than previous ones. This update will let you fully customize the sail plan on the three starting boats, allowing you to choose all kinds of different sail shapes and sizes, and install them in any configuration you can think of, as long as they fit on the mast and don't collide with each other. You will also be able to do some customization of the masts, cabins, bowsprits, etc. This will also be available only on the starter boats - customization for the bigger boats will come later. The good news is, the update is now almost done, and an optimistic estimated release date would be in a week, maybe two weeks from now. In the meantime, if you'd like to check out the upcoming features, you can try the beta branch, where partial sail customization is currently available for testing. As you'd expect, the beta branch contains quite a lot of bugs and a general lack of polish (even more so than the regular "early access" version). If you're not already on our Discord server, please feel free to join us here: https://discord.gg/u4C8RQG6X9 You'll always find the latest development updates there, and it's the best place to discuss and provide feedback about the upcoming features.

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.
