Description
Windward is a fast-paced naval combat game set in the fantasy time period similar to the mid-17th century. It features a variety of different ships to choose from, different maps to play on by yourself or with your friends, randomly generated booty to discover, talents to earn, ships to unlock, and plenty more.

Some of the features include:
  • Variety of skirmish maps: 8-15 min duration matches with different objectives (capture the flag, grab & hold, defense, one vs all to name a few)
  • Different ships to choose from -- from maneuverable Sloop of War to a slow but powerful Frigate. More ships can be unlocked via certain achievements.
  • Experience from combat results in levels, levels result in talent points to spend in the talent trees
  • Random items drop in combat that you can use to customize your ship. Fast and maneuverable parts? Check. Huge burst damage? Check. Support and repairs? Got that too.
  • Full multiplayer support to play with your friends, or against them
  • As a fun side-feature, your ship will appear in other player's games (even single-player), so they will either praise you or curse your very name, depending on which side your ship ends up on and how uber you've made it
All of those features are already in place. Going forward, for those in search of a longer single-player and co-op experience, there will be the Campaign mode, where a huge procedural world gets generated just for you and your friends, complete with factions controlling territory that you can work with or plot against, do tasks for, discover treasure, or of course -- pillage everything in sight.

Before judging by given up on it, read why he has "given" up it. Unless there is a larger base of people interested in the game, he can not justify spending valuable time/resources developing the game further. Therefore he is giving the game current version away for free

Tradewinds ripoff?
I think so.

Wait let me upvote a game the author has given up on....Maybe not.. You know this looks promising but people want to jump on board with something that will be successful; that maybe has perhaps an expansion and additional content in the works. Re: "I just don’t feel right charging for a game I no longer have any time or motivation to keep working on."

Find something that makes you happy and do it. Apparently, this isn't it. Downvoted what probably would have been an upvote. Rejection is part of life and feedback is a gift; good or bad. I hope you find something else to enjoy.

Reminds of a game I used to play many years ago, I don't remember the name but I do remember that I had a lot of fun with it and this looks like fun too. Yes, I would buy it.

Very good.
But it needs:
1. Normally graphcs settings. Game has crash, when I set it to "Low"
2. Multiplayer functions: exchage things, some friends, etc
3. Server version for set servers.
Thanks!
