Sail Forth News

An Advance Note

In Sail Forth, the incoming high-seas adventure from David Evans Games / Quantum Astrophysicists Guild, you’ll take to the waves of a mysterious ocean world packed to brimming with roaring action, hilarious characters and near-endless opportunities to--

Catch a Bellow into High Adventure!

To waters! To daggerboard! To canister! To coast! You’ll captain a crew from bespoke ship to budding flotilla to gargant custom fleet in a campaign of discovery amok with ridiculous wildlife, exotic locales and a weirdly persistent pirate threat.



Manage your armament, kit out your vesselry and make wild to waves with the best biffin’ deckhands and spinnaker riggers this way from anchor! While galavanting the Deepblue, you’ll often find yourself bow to barrels with oddballs, odd jobs and oddities alike! It might be you find a wayward sailor eager to race you for treasure, or a Skull Clan outpost gearing to loose roundball at the first sign of a boat like your own! Maybe you find yourself wrung up into a fleet battle or a ships’ duel or a privateer boarding or --

Avast, A Giant Enemy Kreb!

This goliath snap-nasty was riled to fighting by the antics of the one Belton Skullduggar; captain of what used to be a ship called Ramknuckle a’fore it were smashed to sticks by this raging Island Crested Crustacean!



Dodge ship-seeking Krebubbles and weather volleys of vicious carapace cracking Porcuspines! Fire all guns! Blast through its defenses! Expose the belly of the beast and dislodge the enigmatic glowing DEADROCK lodged therein.



There's Power in The Glow

Skullduggar wants that DEADROCK. He reckons it’s what turned that Kreb into a giant into an island into a monster.
Will you give it to him? Will you take the DEADROCK for yourself and leave him to sea? Will you ask him to join your crew?

It’s your choice, as you Sail Forth!



We're going to be sharing more updates like this about Sail Forth in the coming months and can't wait to show off more, so wishlist the game to stay up to date on all the latest news!

Hello everyone! I've been busy working on the game since the summer's demo, and will be making an updated demo available on Thursday the 12th at 10am PST (tomorrow). The demo will be playable until the end of Sunday the 15th.

The new demo includes a lot of general gameplay changes and improvements, as well as new encounters, boats, and probably a lot of things I'm not thinking of.

I'd love to hear what you all think!

It seemed to me that stamina was a bit too restrictive as it currently was, so I doubled the amount of stamina that each sailor grants to their boat. This increases your total, but not your recharge speed, so you should have a bit more time to row and fire guns before waiting for it to refill.

- Significantly increased total stamina for all boats
- Performance should be a little better on low end machines
- The Small Long Gun incorrectly had the swivel cannon's name, and is now named properly
- Made another potential bug fix to how steering is handled on keyboard

This change is meant to address issues some players were experiencing with steering reliably. Part of this change included removing the concept of the steering analog X/Y axis in favor of just steering left and right, which will only affect gamepad bindings.

Most people will notice no difference, however in order to ensure that players were not left with invalid custom bindings, this patch will wipe any options you've changed. Sorry for the inconvenience there!

- Remove "Steering Analog Axis" and map gamepad left stick X to steering left / right. This should function identically.

- Merge gamepad and keyboard steering input so that gamepad doesn't take precedence over keyboard if it is for some reason erroneously creating input.
