Sailwind- basics of sailing 1- Dockwork

[@mattpaul8173]

Great vid! Can you do one on finer maneuvering like coming into the dock fast and doing an emergency stop? Maybe also a video on trading?

[@theotherfitz9490]

thanks! yea of course I can :D

[@ShionWinkler]

Sadly ropes no longer behave this way in the game. 😥😥

[@JimRchrdsn]

The ropes are not elastic anymore, but you can still do a lot of these things. If you right click on the mooring line on the dock, you can use the scroll wheel to reel it in or let it out.

please sail - engine : to shop in unity -.-

[@erumaaro6060]

nice video. also: Pull, pull, pull my boat gently down the peer. Merrily, merrily, merrily, this is but a game.

I guess this game was inspired by Sea of Thieves? That game really needs a bit of a sailing update I think... Or maybe there ought to be a slightly more serious sailing warfare game. I don't know. This looks cute though!

[@cdgonepotatoes4219]

Sea of Thieves didn't invent sailing ships, or crates, or putting crates onto sailing ships and sailing them to another location. There is no combat nor is combat ever planned for the future. This game is purely a physics-based first-person sailing game which focus is to be as realistic as possible without going into pure simulator territory, simplifying just a few aspects and providing a progression system as well as goals. I agree that there ought to be more first-person sailing games though, if anything just so people would stop comparing Sailwind to SoT (they can't be further apart from each other) because they are the only two non-simulators using this camera view.

If you're looking for good sailing AND combat, consider the game Naval Action. Each player controls a whole ship, rather than operating individual parts of the ship, so the focus is on combat and combat maneuvers. But the sailing is also top-notch.
