Days of Sail: Wind over Waters takes you to the sunny Greek islands and puts you right on the deck of a speedy and lavish sailboat, giving you the chance to experience the tension-filled atmosphere of a racing regatta event in the tropical paradise of the Mediterranean Sea. It doesn’t matter if you’re an amateur or adept navigator. Your objective here is to experience your own personal sailing story while competing against the times of other sailboats, but also against the blowing wind and your own sailing knowledge and abilities.

On its latest issue (vol. 207, January 2007), the Greek PC games-related magazine PC-MASTER, features an enthusiastic article about the game:
“A Greek developer house invites us to travel to wonderful Greek islands with its new, innovative game title.
The attempts by Greek developers in the video game area are a rare phenomenon, but lately we witness several important initiatives from Greek developer houses to surpass the barriers at this specific area. Most recent example is the game Days of Sail: Wind over Waters by immersionFX, a sailing simulator that puts us at the helm of a cool sailing boat and invites us to taste the paradise of our beloved Meditteranean sea. In our journey around the beautifull Aegean islands, we will be confronted with time, various weather conditions and ruthless opponents that seek victory.
An interview to В George Dan Pirvu, for 3D Gamestudio AUM Magazine:
Q: How big is the team behind “Days of Sail: Wind over Waters and how much did it take you to finish the game?
The Days of Sail “team” is actually a one person achievement… with occasional assistance from a good friend of mine who offered his 3D artistic expertise in some of the game’s 3D models, especially the sailboat. Of course, many thanks go to the Gamestudio community which was an invaluable pool of resources.
It was some time in February 2005 when I got fed up with the game I was doing at the time. It was a VRML-based engine that I was developing on my own. But, it required so much effort in order to cope with the engine’s most trivial features that it was taking the fun out of the process of making the game. When I started looking at game engines, it was an almost instant decision to go with Gamestudio because there was just so much available code around and a helpful community. What more can developers ask to get a good kick start and to have a small learning curve when confronted with a new api?
