We’re testing world streaming in MarineVerse using Google Maps® Photorealistic 3D Tiles so you can sail real coastlines like Sydney, New York, and San Francisco.

• [c]Main Menu → Free Sail → Yacht → Sydney – Photorealistic Earth (Online)[/c]

Access & pricing

• Google bills per each access, so this beta is limited to Sailing Pass owners.

• We’re open to feedback; we may add a pay-as-you-go “credit” option.

Quality expectations

• Visual fidelity varies by city and distance (it’s Google’s underlying data).

• Tip: preview locations in Google Earth to gauge expected quality.

Roadmap

• We’re investigating a deeper integration with MarineVerse Globe.

Tell us where to sail next

• Watch the preview & comment with your dream location:

• Join our Discord to discuss performance, controls, and pricing.

Requirements

• Online connection (streams map data). Performance and visuals may vary—this is early beta.

Thanks for being part of the MarineVerse community and sailing with us as we push the boundaries of what’s possible in virtual sailing.

Hello everyone, the game has been fully released and is now available.

Unfortunately, I messed up and made some mistakes due to my own problems, and everything I updated was deleted, and I couldn't download anything new except for previous updates. Maybe I'll have the strength and nerves to do it again, if not, I apologize. In any case, I hope you liked my idea and its implementation.

Thank you all for your support!

Further progress on making a native linux version of the game.

- Added SHINE Robots ⇨ when you hit them, they drop a gear that temporarily increases the value of all other gears.

Hello everyone!

We’re Studio Hookshot, a small indie game team of about three members creating the Super Hook Girl series.

We’re excited to announce that the store page for “Super Hook Girl Ultra Challenge!!” is now live!
The game is still in development, so it’ll take a little more time to complete — but we hope you’ll look forward to it!

And if you’re interested, please consider adding it to your wishlist!

As was briefly mentioned in our Monthly Update, we’ve decided to push back the release of Winter Heat. Initially it was going to be released on 11/11, now it’ll be 12/12! This is largely due to the classic game dev issue of not foreseeing how long the development of a game will take, and even largelier due to Oomfie.

Developing the minigame (subgame?) took so long for the lead artist that not much progress was made in the main story art for a whole month, the programming of the Oomfie RPG also took some time that the other apps/minigames needed. In general just know that putting an RPG in Ren’py ain’t easy don’t try this at home!!!

But otherwise, a lot of progress has indeed been made for the other apps! Maps, Wittier, etc. It’s all coming along nicely. ヽ(*￣▽￣*)ノ

Now with the side content mostly completed it’s time to actually finish the main thing. Yes instead of the other way around, we work in mysterious ways (the reality is that the side content needed a lot of silly programming so some priority had to be put there).

But all this means is that you should look forward to all the cool stuff we have to show off in the game, see you on 12/12!

Over a year and a half of development, Astranded is officially live on Steam!

Shot down and stranded. Skywalker and his loyal drone, Wolly, are forced into a fight for survival after their ship is blasted from orbit by a mysterious craft. Crashing onto an uncharted world, they find themselves hunted and trapped on a planet patrolled by an unknown alien robotic force. With limited supplies and danger at every turn, survival is the only option.

This project has been a true labor of passion, and I’m beyond excited to finally share it with you. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who followed Astranded’s journey, offered feedback, and supported its development — your input has been invaluable in shaping the experience it’s become. Now that Astranded is out in the world, your continued feedback will help it grow into something even greater as the game evolves and expands beyond its first release.
