You mean Beginner mode in Simulation? How many times did you try and failed?

I think I tried race mode about ten times and simulation mode ten times as well. My father has played about the same amount of times but with slightly less luck than I've had.

For the free look, it's set on middle mouse button in the options menu, and I can not change it. I don't have a middle mouse button on my notebook, neither does my mouse on my pc... I don't think that is a very good key setting as a lot of people don't have a middle mouse button

You made a pretty awesome game I think...congrats! I don't find the level too difficult...but maybe that's because I'm a windsurfer and I used to sail some years ago...

What I foud most disturbant: unprecise collision detection, seams in the waterplanes (I know this has be mentioned)...but I could live with both issues

Other possible improovments (but less important...): slightly random trail sprite creation (it's almost too regular now), more different sounds played more randomly.

Keep it up like this!

@cartoon_baboon: wow, you've played the thing more than I did! It should be easier for Beginner to finish on time, I will fix that.

@Jostie: a 5-star rating from me! This is definitely an important issue that should be dealt with right away.

@Loopix: thanks. I think the random sounds could add a lot to the game. I'm afraid I can't fix the seams in the water in the current release but the collision detection issue is fixed already

You have all been really helpful and I appreciate this!

Put some screenshots on the website.

Now this is one of the games that make me want to throw my non-shader-crappy-a$$ laptop out the window. Judging from the videos and everything though, this game kicks serious ass. (can we use 'ass', or do we get cencored? i never really noticed..)

By the way, if this game gets published, it won't be just one more sailing game getting released. It would practically be the first proffesional project actually getting created by a Greek team with a Greek concept. Seeing all the other crap greek games made in the past (ahhh 'polemos sto agaio..?':p) which sold like crazy anyway, i'd say immersionfx and his team are in for some big money best of luck!!!
