Congrats on the official release What I like most on this game is the reality close searching of wind direction and accordingly trimming of the sails...this is really well implemented...as well as the random condition changings (wind-strenght/direction). Although collision isen 't perfect yet and the back button is still missing in the sub-menus, I must say: Well done!

btw. are you a passionate of real sailing?

Thanks Loop. Yeah, sailing is a hobby of mine for the past 5 years. The places you see in the game are the actual places I visit at sail time...
I will shortly release a special edition of the game to my skipper's (and good friend) website

Are you into sailing yourself?

btw, the latest download version is 10 MB shorter (how stupid of me: all the time I was looking for ways to improve the framerate and forgot the most obvious one: decrease the size of the .tga skycubes!).

Also, after popular demand, I made it easier for non-skippers by showing them what key to press in each given situation. This way, user can exercise his/her abilities while in simulation mode, before feeling ready to take part in the race!

The game is at version 1.2 and counting...

Some statistics:

GamersHell: 1,400 downloads as of now.
Download.com: 147 downloads in last 3 days.
Opinions (biased ): check the website.
Purchases: will let u know soon!

There are several users that keep suggesting new features or even find some bugs ( ), which is what justifies the updated versions 1.1 and 1.2.

Should you be interested in downloading the game, please make sure you do it only from the official website as it is always the most updated version. I strongly encourage those of you who have downloaded it in the past, to update their version to 1.2.

Cheers.

OK guys, haven't posted for a while, but it was mostly due to lack of interest in this thread...

Anyway, "Days of Sail: Wind over Waters" is currently at version 1.3 (the most stable version so far) and I can say that it is going pretty good at the... box office

In this version I have fixed some things and I have added some others, mainly based on user/buyers' comments. For example, you can now sink the sailboat if you crash so many times!

For the time being the website is down, and it has been like this for the last 5 days. This is really disastrous for me, as things were heating up (because of the holiday season but also because of a nice bargain price I've put up). The problem is that my Hosting Provider sucks BIG TIME and their support is the worst of its kind (haven't received a single reply from them for 3 days... So much for their claimed 24/7 support ).

Indie life, besides being lonely, can also be really tough, you know...

What is left to say is:
never host your files in ValueHost.co.uk!

THIS GAME IS GOOD!!!!!!!!!
