Days of Sail 2: Venture

Hi everybody

These are some early pics of our new game, The Good Life - a Tropic Venture
(old title: Days of Sail 2: Venture).

It borrows simulation elements from Days of Sail: Wind over Waters (a 2006 game of ours) but there will be a huge advancement on the gameplay visuals this time around. It won’t just be a sailing simulator - it will also be a tycoon type of game.

The game will involve time management, selling/buying goods and, of course, sailing. The environment will be (evidently) tropical and we have graphically covered 25 square kilometres of original tropical land. There will be luxurious scenery (hotels beach resorts) blended with caves, sunken ships, etc…

Right now, we are two guys working on this project, one involved in programming (and story) and the other doing the 2D/3D work. We are coming close to finishing our first prototype.

Thanks a lot for all your comments. We plan to release more stuff (video + demo) really soon (when we get back from vacations).

The water is the famous ocean shader with several tweaks. However, we still can’t get a boat wake right :?

sounds like a nice, peaceful concept, i like those types of games

i think there is no need for war in every single game to be a good game

This game involves time management and selling/buying goods as well as sailing. This means that the user, while in CAREER MODE, will start with a low budget and a basic sailboat but, eventually, he will be able to upgrade to larger, faster and nicer sailboats.

You can see below in-game shots from two of the available sailboats that will exist in the game:

More to come… :slight_smile:
