About the game
Please note that this is an EARLY ACCESS game and, while there is plenty to do, it is not yet complete, bug free or fully optimised.
Take the helm of a variety of different boats/ships from small spor/power boats all the way up to oil tankers, cargo vessels and prestigious motor yachts in this realistic ship simulator.
No VR? No problem! The game is fully playable on a standard monitor. However, it is certainly best experienced in VR - sick bucket not included!
Accurate water and buoyancy physics mean each vessel reacts uniquely and realistically to the variable weather and sea conditions while RADAR, SatNav and buoys (based on real world IALA A buoyage system together with AtoN/NavAid lighting systems) provide a realistic navigation experience, especially in poor weather or pitch black night time sailing.
"CAREER MODE" need some purpose when piloting your ship? This mode creates random cargo and passenger transport missions between the islands adding a "light" career mode to the game. Earn money and work your way up from a small sport boat to the larger vessels.
"FREE PLAY MODE" allows you to drive any of the available vessels instantly and is perfect for those who simply want to sail around the map enjoying the scenery or for those who want to brush up their real world powerboating skills.
"VOICE COMMANDS" latest update adds speech recognition to the game allowing you to control your ship from the comfort of your captain's chair.
This game is continually updated on a regular basis with new boats, islands and other features. Please view the forum for Dev Notes & Previous Update History.
Plus I'm very active on the Steam Forums so if you have suggestions, comments, problems or just want to pop in for a chat then please do so! :o)
