Yes, and you must watch the compass or the land marks, because if the wind is turning the wrong way, tacking and going the other way has become faster.
It's kinda fun to watch someone else go through the same things I did with the demo. Ran into the wind issues hauling cargo like you did, or the trying to figure out how to unload. The fog around the one island is intended by the dev, but it sucks. The sextant can actually see thru it. I don't see this replacing Sailwind, I have a feeling they'll exist together just fine. I'm looking forward to see this one get further development.
9:39 Not only Sailing games... As someone who hobysaild in the Baltic sea, i can assure you. The wind also in real live is seldom on your side. Also i think here it is a bit more like in real live, you don't want your Sails flapping arround. They should always be pulled tight (not to Tight).
Another ship/sailing game where one person (the player) does everything on an otherwise empty ship. I wish more games would follow the UBOAT model where a boat requires a crew to operate and managing that crew is part of the challenge. Games like this and Sailwind would even be better if they had that 'Master and Commander' feel....
In terms of sailwind the only major problem I have with the game is there's no warning when your ship is going to sink like there's no oh there's water coming in or anything it just suddenly your shit falls off from underneath you
@@DaltonReutlinger I hadn't played in a minute just cuz it was frustrating me that like it would rain and then I wouldn't have a ship anymore it's nice enough they did change something
The game seems quite interesting in terms of physics. I'm afraid you're sailing too close to the wind. If you had sailed more west or south past the island, you would have been faster. Then a turning maneuver towards the island. Wind angle 45 degrees or half wind course. Unfortunately, I only know the terminology and sailing maneuvers in German.
nice video! did you find the Halloween easteregg? i like when Developer doing this😁 btw - in settings you can make the efficiency of the Salis visible - this helps alot to unterstand the position and angle of sails
@@DaltonReutlinger Don't get me wrong, I wish nothing but a big success for this game, as I am a big fan of sailing games. In the other side, as a friendly criticism: water can look much better :)
