Patch 0.22 Progress Update

It has been a while since the last update, and many people might be wondering about the development status of the next one. As always, the most up-to-date news and updates are regularly posted on the Sailwind Discord server. For those who missed the recent posts there, here is a quick summary along with preview screenshots.
The next patch will be a big one, featuring a new archipelago with several islands. This will not be an entirely new region - think of it more like an expansion of the current Emerald Archipelago. The new islands will feature some new unique architecture, as well as new trade goods, other items, and custom sails.

Some new weather effects are also planned.

The update is expected to be ready sometime around September/October 2023. Before the full update is released, there are plans for an open beta test for the upcoming patch. The new islands will not be available yet, but the beta will feature several improvements mostly related to weather and boat physics (including manually adjustable mooring ropes - no more infinite springs!). Player feedback will be very welcome and useful to get the fine tuning of the new changes just right. More details about the beta will be coming soon!

Set sail towards adventure in the world of Sailwind! This sailing simulator with survival elements features realistic sailing physics and a vast open world to explore. Embark on cargo delivery missions, customize your boat with furniture and decorations, or enjoy some fishing.

Take it easy and go for a calm, relaxing trip around the local islands, or, when you're ready for some adventure, buy a big boat and go on a dangerous voyage across the ocean to distant lands. Use navigation instruments, the sun and the stars to stay on course, battle storms and high winds, and don't forget to stock enough food and water for the long journey!

SAILING

Full realistic sailing physics – in order to sail successfully, you’ll have to tack, reef the sails in heavy weather, keep track of the direction of the wind to find the perfect angle. Watch out for the ever changing weather and waves!

Six boats of different sizes and sail plans to choose from, each with its own unique sailing characteristics and performance.

ADVENTURE & SURVIVAL

There are many reasons to set sail – cargo delivery, fishing, exploration, or simply for pleasure.
Looking for some relaxation? Enjoy the sunny beaches and crystal clear waters around the tropical archipelagos.
Ready for an adventure? Buy a big boat, stock up on supplies, plot your route and set sail for an epic ocean voyage, where you will battle high waves, heavy winds, and where running out of food or water is a real danger.

OPEN WORLD

The world consists of many islands across three distinct regions, each with unique climate, architecture and economy. Drop anchor or dock your boat, step off and explore each island freely. Make sure to stock up on food and water – both in game and in real life, as a journey across the ocean can take many hours of real time with no land in sight!

NAVIGATION

Use navigation instruments such as the compass and quadrant to determine your heading and position. Observe the sun and stars, chart your position on the map, and hope you don’t get too far off course on the long journey across the vast ocean.

BOAT CUSTOMIZATION

Your boat is your home on the sea. Make it feel cozy by customizing with furniture, decorations and paint. Cook your own food, clean and polish the deck, and at the end of the day, sit in a chair and have some rum or smoke a pipe while watching the sunset.
