Around this time last year, Popcannibal, known for titles like Elegy for a Dead World and Girls Like Robots, launched a successful crowdfunding campaign on Fig for Make Sail, a sailing game that boasts realistic physics and deep shipbuilding. Earlier this year I even had the chance to interview Ziba Scott, one of the game’s developers, and learn even more about the game.
Make Sail is currently set to hit Early Access on Steam this winter, and in anticipation of that, the game’s Steam Page has gone live. This reveals some details about what its time in Early Access will be like and what Make Sail’s recommended and minimum system requirements are. In addition to that, Popcannibal has released some new screenshots and a new teaser trailer for the title. You can check out the teaser trailer below:
As is usually the case with many Early Access titles, Popcannibal has decided to release Make Sail in Early Access first so they can get constant feedback from players to improve the game during development. The Early Access build will initially feature a primary four-hour quest, though players can sink tons of time into the game just sailing around or building ships.
The game will be $19.99 when it enters Early Access, and the developers currently aren’t sure if that price will increase when the game fully launches. Popcannibal plans on keeping Make Sail in Early Access for one year. If you are curious to see if your computer can run the title, you can check out both the minimum and recommended requirements below, which aren’t super demanding:
MINIMUM:
- OS: Windows 7
- Processor: 2 GHz dual Core i5
- Memory: 4 GB RAM
- Graphics: Intel HD 4400
- Storage: 3 GB available space
RECOMMENDED:
- OS: Windows 10
- Processor: Quad Core i7
- Memory: 4 GB RAM
- Graphics: 9XX Series Nvidia or higher
- Storage: 3 GB available space
You can also look at the new screenshots for the game below. Make Sail is currently poised to enter Early Access on PC sometime this Winter. When asked about possible console versions, Ziba Scott said “I’d love to, but it’s a question of time and resources,” so it’s up in the air whether or not Make Sail will come to consoles.
