Why Early Access?

“Sail is still under development and needs help & feedback from the community to become the best VR pirate game it can be.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“8 - 12 months.

But we will take as much time as necessary to make SAIL the VR pirate game it needs to be.”

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

“Early access SAIL will lack some of the artistic polish expected of a final product game. Because we are hoping for community feedback to chart the course for what SAIL will be come Early Access will be a testing ground for potential features that may or may not end up in the full version of the game. With these experimental features we fully expect players to us find bugs and we plan to address them as we continue to develop SAIL.

Again, we plan to use the feedback and suggestions of Early Access buyers to help us create the Final version of SAIL which will be a stunning, polished, bug free pirate adventure for the entire VR community to enjoy.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Sail Has just completed it's public Alpha and would technically be in the BETA stage.

The art is excellent and the game runs smoothly. In the current version you can expect to go on treasure hunts, fight pirate enemies, Sail a ship throughout the open world, upgrade your ship, have a persistent save file and buy awesome pirate weapons.

In Early Access we are hoping to get Customer input on the direction of the game. Namely game loops, addition content, mechanics, multiplayer, rewards systems, XP and anything else that will help turn this game into the best possible VR pirate game.”

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

“Buying SAIL in Early access will get you the full game at a discounted price.

This means that come full release you will still have full access to the game and all it's updates.

Plus your feedback and suggestions will be what we use to take SAIL in the direction the VR community needs from an open world VR pirate game.”

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

“At Red Team 19 one of our mottos is "I am not the Player". This means we rely on our players to give us feedback and tell us if we are making a game they want to play.

With Early Access SAIL we'll be using the community to help us find bugs, give feedback on game features and gameplay, and determine which direction we need to take SAIL in order to make the VR pirate game everyone has been waiting for.”
