When you can sail. Square rigger directly into the wind, that’s 100% arcade.

You are of course free to make your game however you want, but false advertising doesn’t help anyone.

Actually thanks for the reminder! I’ll be adding “real wind physics” to my steam page, website header, and other marketing material. Thank you!
Ok, now go you’re just being obnoxious. This is childish behavior and unbecoming.

I hope you enjoy the bad reviews from people who expect something and don’t get it.

Hi Tyler this game is in early alpha, we’re still changing physics and simulation dynamics week by week. This is not a final state. Unfortunately you’re not able to have a nuanced conversation and provide actual feedback unlike everyone else in this thread. Hope you have a good day!
You aren’t interested in having a conversation, you’re just repeating the same dismissive thing over and over again and gaslighting people over what the word "real" means.
