Game Overview
This is not your typical boat game. It’s more of a design tool and physics sandbox/waterbox, a serious, hardcore simulator used by real life boat racers around the world including Formula 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, offshore powerboat, and other series racers to keep their skills sharp between races and train muscle memory. Real life high performance boat driving skills such as chine walk control and engine trim management can be learned safely.
Real life marine engineers and boat designers use this to experiment with ideas and get a better intuitive feel for how various design aspects influence boat handling and performance. The force vector view (accessible with the TAB key) is useful in examining exactly why the boat does what it does (see pic in screenshots). Dynamic instabilities can be examined in real time as they’re happening, and the exact water/hull wetted contact shape and size can be viewed through the hull in real time.
