Make Sail (Early Access) – Build Any Kind of Ship You Can Imagine and Explore the (Gorgeous) High Seas

Make Sail is an ocean exploration game where you can build any ship you can imagine!

It’s a new upcoming indie title that focuses on crafting the ultimate ship of your dreams and using it sail the high seas in procedurally-generated worlds. That means the seas are never the same experience and it’s always unique, which means you’re always exploring!

The game uses a sophisticated crafting system that lets you snap together a variety of objects like planks, sails, masts, poles, floats, and even jets, propellers, balloons, and sparklers! You can make your ship as ridiculous or grand as you want. Once you’re done with a starter ship, it’s off to the seas.

As you explore the gorgeous world, you’ll come across handcrafted islands filled with fauna, flora, and wildlife. You can then get off the ship and explore the island on foot to find treasures like more pieces for your ship to upgrade it. You can build it bigger, faster, or stronger- however you like.

The game is like a hybrid of exploration and optimization. It rewards you for exploring its realistic and breathtaking scenery that’s always unique by giving you more parts to upgrade your boat and further customize it. It’s a very nice feedback loop that’s purely designed to get players hooked.

Each island allows you to redesign and rebuild your ship as you gather new parts. The world is stunning and complete with breathing trees, shooting stars, and crashing waves. Every time you play the game presents a different set of challenges and opportunities at different parts of the game. As you explore with an upgraded ship, you can sail out to farther oceans to discover more rare parts, dangerous giant sea creatures, and even more.

The ships you build are governed by a universal real-time physics engine. Ships sail according to a physics engine that’s clearly sophisticated in that it controls how your ship sails and moves in the water. Wind and water conditions affect every bit of your ship’s trek as much as you being the captain.

The parts you use also come into play- larger parts mean a heavier ship which means harder turns and more weight to take on waves and wind. Lighter ships are agile but get blown away by wind and water. Everything you’d expect to affect your ship will affect your ship. It’s almost like real life.

Make Sail is available for Steam Early Access on March 30th, 2018. Add it to your wishlist now and be the first to build up your ship. Set your sails for Make Sail using the link below! If you like exploration games, this is definitely one you’ll want to check out.
