MarineVerse Cup Game-play ( April 2021 )

http://sailing.quest Try sailing in VR. Learn, sail with friends and race. Master Dinghy, Yacht and Waszp. MarineVerse Cup is an authentic but approachable sailboat racing game for Oculus Quest. We’re building this product for the community of eSailors who want to race. The game is authentic, featuring complex sailboat mechanics & racing courses. It has depth, making it appropriate as a platform for serious VR sailing competitions. There is a meaningful progression path, requiring commitment and investment from a player, to reach the highest level of skill. The knowledge and tactics should be transferable to real sailing as much as possible. When sailors try the game, they intuitively get it, as it’s based on the real world. Having said that, it’s still a game and not a simulator. It is fun to play. We’re making this game approachable, as MarineVerse's goal is to democratize sailing. We want to enable Oculus Quest players to be able to join our community, and that’s why we will give them tools in the game - to learn how to sail. But this is not “learn how to sail app” - this is a racing game. Therefore, the focus of learning will be on skills required to enable players to race and have fun. MarineVerse Cup is easy to learn and difficult to master. Sailing can be relaxing and sometimes even competitors want to wind down. That’s why our game will offer “free sailing”, however this is not the main focus of this game. Other humans can offer the most challenging competition and satisfaction from “winning” - that’s why our game will feature multiplayer. However, to be approachable, we game offers “single player” mode, to enable players to build skills and gain confidence. Our goal is to “build” a sailboat racing community. “Events” & prizes will be an integral part of the experience. Members of our community will be able to play the game for years, as there always will be the next competition / prize & title to win. Our winners will inspire gamers, to join our community and become VR sailors. In the long fun, MarineVerse Cup can go beyond “mimicking” sailing and instead we can start to “lead” and inspire. For example, MarineVerse Cup can be the first to provide access to “AR sailing glasses” - something that will only happen in the future in the real world. Hope to see you on the water, Happy Sailing! MarineVerse team.
