Windward v2017-06-17.0

Windward – Designed from the start to be a fully procedural co-op game, Windward can be played solo, but it truly comes alive when you join your friends. Begin by generating a unique, procedurally generated world tailored just for you; create your custom faction and set sail. Whether you choose to engage in fierce battles with pirates, trade with towns, complete exciting quests, or simply explore the vast open seas, the choice is entirely yours.

As you voyage, you'll discover valuable resources, find upgrades for your ship, and encounter new towns that need your help. The further you sail from the starting area, the more formidable the pirates become, eager to claim what you’ve worked hard to amass. Each combat encounter rewards you with experience, unlocking new talents and abilities that enhance your chosen path.

By accepting consignments from towns and easing their production shortages, you contribute to their growth, unlocking additional quests, improved resources, and superior items. As the towns flourish, you’ll be presented with the opportunity to upgrade your ship. Will you prefer a nimble Schooner perfect for exploration, a robust Galleon capable of handling up to five consignments simultaneously, or a colossal Ship of the Line designed to take the fight directly to pirate heartlands?

Venturing farther from familiar territory raises the stakes—difficulty intensifies but so do the rewards. Rest assured that pirates will put up a true fight, as the AI operates under the same constraints as you: it can only discover what lies ahead by exploring the map.

Moreover, your reputation matters. Cultivate a formidable presence and even the AI will begin to respect and fear you, with some friendly entities choosing to join your journey and assist along the way.

So, are you ready to embark on your own grand adventure?
