I was keen to try it out but over proton the post-processing freaks the fuck out and slows the framerate to under 20fps. The menu works fine, and the spyglass greatly improves the framerate though it doesn’t fix the bloom. Screencap for reference:
I did try playing it a little bit and the controls seem very intuitive, I’m sure I would’ve had an easier time if it wasn’t lagging so badly. I couldn’t tell if there were any mechanics for wind? And I assume there will be some sort of islands at some point in the future?
Not sure if you’re taking it this way, so consider it a big scope jump, but this would be a very solid foundation for an open-world game like Endless Sky, just Caribbean themed. I think that’s what Sid Meier’s Pirates is supposed to be but I’ve never played it.
