About the Game

game introduction

1. Rich game plot
The current version provides 4 protagonists for everyone to choose from; different protagonists have different birthplaces and main stories. The friends you meet in the main story will also be different. Many more legendary crew members are waiting to be recruited around the world



2. Diverse sailing events
During the voyage, you must not only fight against nature, but also encounter navigation events such as malnutrition, sepsis, fire, and rodent infestation, and will also intersect with NPC forces from all over the world.



3. Open Sailing World
Historic sites, deep-sea shipwrecks, and numerous treasures and discoveries are hidden all over the world. Set sail, the world is waiting for you to explore



4. Free global trade
The game provides more than 160 ports for navigators to trade freely. Everyone can invest in the port and develop the port. The better the port development, the more commodity inventory and even new commodities will be brought.



5. The Romance of the Great Ship Cannon
For many navigators, the cannon of a giant ship is romantic. We provide many ship types for players to choose from. The more armed the port is, the better the cannons of the ship can be made. There are many more historical and famous ships for navigators to obtain



6. Colorful achievements
More than 500 discoveries, all over the world. More than 50 East and West ships and more than 60 crew members, including many historic ships and legendary captains. In taverns around the world, there are also unique beauties. Conquering the beauty can not only bring attribute bonuses to the navigator, but also provide various buffs to the fleet

developer word

A big thank you to steam, a platform that allows our small company dreams to fly! I have liked to play games since I was a child. I started to play Contra arcade in junior high school, watched Jin Yong in high school, and played Da Navigation Xianjian Interstellar in college (really revealing the memory of my age). . . But since the big sailing series, I have never seen my favorite sailing game. Now that I have been upgraded to a producer, I just want to be self-willed and make a big sailing game that I like! The boss said not to put pressure on my income, as long as everyone likes to play (why do I feel more pressure). I took a deep breath: We are a game that does not need to spend money to recycle a knife, level 999, and start a dog's equipment all by picking it up! With a slap, I woke up, and the boss yelled: Those are all liars! Well well, our game is just one word "fun"! Two words "conscience made".
