Island Sailing 2 2.0.00
Free Version
Publisher Description
*** This app replaces the previous version of "Island Sailing" ***
A simple sailing simulation. It allows the player to experience basic sailing boat navigation with different winds in various terrains. The gameplay is rather difficult, but quite realistic.
The game is the first app to use the "gEngine", my own openGL2.0 game library.
The app requires a state of the art smartphone or tablet.
Please note that the game and the engine are beta and might not run stable or at all on your device.

/** Background information **/
About the developer: Based in Aarau, Switzerland, working on games in my free time. Feel free to drop your comments below or contact me via email: j.sailing@nope.tv
The game graphics: Uses openGL ES 2.0, without any native interfaces.
The game idea: It's basically a test run for the gEngine.
It's free because I didn't know whether the gEngine would work on a broad range of embedded devices and didn't want to take money for a product that mightn't work.
"Island Sailing" vs "Island Sailing 2" - a lesson learned about storage of private keys.
I have formatted the hard drive where I kept my private keystore file, without which it is impossible to issue updates for a previously released app. There still was some interest in the game and requests for further development, hence the 'necessity' to release this new version.
...and this time I made backup copies of the keystore file!
