Winward

[bbmike]

Just saw that Winward released on Steam today. There's a tutorial on Youtube from the developer. It looks interesting, anyone playing it? At it's current price I may have to add yet another game to my morbidly obese library.

Is it worth a buy?  Let's read, Let's read...... Yo ho ho and a bottle of piss.

That opening couple of minutes of ship battles looked almost identical to the newer of the Sid Meier (spelling?) Pirates game.

Based on the replies I thought it would be bad. But after watching 'Worth a buy?' I think I may have to make a purchase.
And no pinnace joke. At least until Grogheadscon 2015.  :P

Watching the ship battles immediately breaks any immersion of playing a sailing game.

Does it make the seamen want to disembark from your pinnace?

:D

Metaphorically speaking, that is the opposite of my outcome, but from a literal, in-game sense I would say that's probably pretty accurate!

It looks like Red Alert for sailing vessels. No thanks!

Wow, this looks really good!  If only it had a combat deck view like that Paradox game from a few years ago that was about the Age of Sail - what was it called?  Oh yes, East India Company.  Reminds me a bit of that.

Thanks for the heads up!

I was about to say that reminds me a little of the game Age of Booty, though more expanded in some ways -- but then the pun trail began.  ::)
