Yup. It's true! W2 is now known as Project 5: Sightseer, and is now one of the games on Greenlight: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=822934920
All existing Windward players that are interested will be able to play Sightseer this weekend right after FatPlanetEntertainment's stream of the game, countdown for which will begin on Friday the 23rd, at 8:50 PM EST (7:50 CST, 5:50 PST) on his Twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/fatplanetentertainment
If you're interested in the current state of the game, come by the Twitch stream and watch FP try to figure out how to play it. I may or may not even give him hints... we'll see! After the stream ends, I will put up a new weekend-only Windows build under a separate Windward beta branch and anyone will be able to hop in and check out what's there so far.
Word of warning though: there won't be any combat in this early play test. This test is going to be all about exploration, building, trading, crafting and other peaceful activities. If that still sounds interesting to you, I will make a more detailed post about how to get started and what you can expect to be able to do in the game in its current state.
Oh, and if you think the game looks promising, please help it get through Greenlight faster by voting for it!
See you guys on Friday!

Designed from the start to be a fully procedural co-op game, Windward can be played by yourself, but it truly comes alive when playing with friends. Start by generating a procedural world that will be unique to you, design your own custom faction then sail forward fighting pirates, trading with towns, doing quests or simply exploring -- it's up to you how you want to play.
As you sail about you will find resources you can make use of, upgrades for your ship, new towns that will ask your assistance, and as you get farther out from the starting area -- various pirates that will attempt to take what's rightfully yours. Combat experience will let you unlock new talents and abilities to make that particular line of work easier.
As you take up consignments with towns and fulfill their production shortages, the towns will grow, offering more quests, more resources and better items. As the towns continue to grow they will offer you a choice to upgrade your ship itself. Would you prefer a fast Schooner to explore the world, or a heavy Galleon that's able to take up 5 consignments at once? Or perhaps a massive Ship of the Line to take the fight with the pirates to their heartlands?
As you explore the world and get farther away from your starting area, the game will become progressively more difficult -- but so will the rewards. Throughout all of this you can expect the pirates to put up a fair fight, as the AI is bound by the same rules as the player: they have sight, and must explore the map before they can know what's there.
Speaking of AI, build a fearsome reputation and the AI will respect you, even fear you -- avoiding you if at all possible. Some friendly AI will even choose to follow you and assist you in your own adventures.
And so, on the topic of adventures -- ready to have yours?
