Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“While SailFront’s core mechanics are functional, there are still many features that are in active development. Due to the game's unique functionality, it has become clear that SailFront would significantly benefit from user input, which will help shape the final product. Through Early Access, players can have the opportunity to help shape the future of SailFront as an engaging, multiplayer sailing simulator.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“SailFront is expected to remain in Early Access for 3-6 months. This may be extended depending on player feedback and changes in scope. ”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Currently, while SailFront is functional, due to the complex nature of a PvP sailing simulator, there are several unintended gameplay effects and bugs. Future refinement of SailFront may be further enhanced by player feedback. The full version of SailFront is likely to contain more comprehensive game modes, additional maps, and a more stable overall feel.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version of SailFront implements the base functionality, including multiplayer, three PvP sailing game modes, a functional course editor, and an interactive user interface. These features may contain unintended bugs. Additionally, players have access to a single extensive map, which they can explore. Refer to the About This section for a complete list of features currently included.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“SailFront will be free to play both in Early Access and the full version.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“The community can get directly involved in the development process by joining and interacting on our Discord server. Regular updates will be posted.”

About This Game

Take charge of your own dinghy-inspired sailboat in a multiplayer PvP environment! Select from three engaging game modes to sail in: Race, King of the Hill, and Duels. Or, build your own race courses with the custom level editor!

SailFront is the first sailing simulator to gamify real sailing mechanics and rules into multiple fun game modes! Here are the current modes available in the beta, with more on the way!

Racing

Sail in traditional races, going from mark to mark to reach the finish line. Select from pre-existing race courses, or make your own using the race course level designer! During races, real racing rules of sailing are enforced. Just like real races, those that break rules are required to complete penalty turns!

King of the Hill

Test your rule knowledge and negotiating skills, with the King of the Hill game mode! Fight other players to claim ring zones and be awarded points. Be careful not to break any sailing rules, or you will be expelled outside the ring!

Duels

Box fight 1v1 until a collision occurs! At that point, the boat with rights wins the duel!

Powering all these game modes is SailFront's unique rule system. This system allows players to see, in real time, which boats have sailing rights, and most importantly, why. Because of this info, players who are unfamiliar with the racing rules of sailing can learn them easily! SailFront follows the virtual racing rules of sailing, which contain the most basic sailing rules. Enforcement is achieved through forced penality turns, adding a touch of realism. 

In addition to the game modes mentioned above, SailFront includes a course level editor, which allows you to create your own race courses in a matter of minutes! The course editor includes many features that enable you to tailor courses to your preferences. In addition, marks will automatically set themselves to the correct rounding (port or starboard), based on their position in the course.

At the heart of SailFront is multiplayer connectivity. Unlike many existing sailing simulators, SailFront offers a lobby-style multiplayer service, where players can create their own public or private servers, and choose which servers they connect to through the join menu. This means you don’t have to wait for mysterious matchmaking to put you into a game, and you can connect with friends in an instant.
