Sea Legends lives?

Been quiet for a very long time but Steam page is now live, and the website updated! https://www.sea-legends.com/

Cautious because of the track record in Naval Action, but the goal of a realistic 18th century single-player tall ship simulation is worth watching!

Whitehawk!

...after a 17 year 'silent run'!

Remember: fire yer broadside on the uproll at the rigging, not on the downroll at the hull;...makes for a less damaged quarry for the prize money.

Cheers Aktungbby, figured I'd better let the crew see the sun for once

Full comprehensive age of sail sailing simulation with leeway, windshadows, wind gusts, individual sail and yard control, cargo placements, crew divisions all viewed and managed from ship deck. “

I hope they are serious. Definitely Wish-listed . A Single Player sailing simulation of square rigs has never been seriously done before.

Back in the day, I made do with Talon's Age of Sail

A Painted Ocean is a tantalizing glimpse of more realistic ship handling than WASD'ing around the ocean haha, nearly through my second circumnavigation of the Patrick O'Brian Aubrey/Maturin series and wishing for a simulator of that world!

Agree, 👍 a sailing model like PO coupled with an adventure similar to O’Brian or C.S.Forester would be wonderful. A serious simulation of sail of the caliber of Silent Hunter. Anything to break the Pirate/ fantasy game mold.

Well that's three of us haha!

Must say the below excerpt from their website sounds like a breath of fresh air as well, if they pull it off - getting a little tired of the trends being disavowed here:

Sea Legends is purely single player simulation experience built around hauling, combat and privateering in the Caribbean. No “live service” elements, no huge lengthy unfinished roadmaps. Sea Legends is a simple narrow focus old school gaming experience where what you see is what you get.
