INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Download HoO_setup.exe above and run the application.
2. Choose the folder you want to install the game to, accept the terms and conditions, and click Install.
3. Wait for the installer to finish, and click Run to start the game.
4. You will be prompted to select your game settings before the game launches.
NOTE: If you see a Windows security warning when running the launcher, click Run Anyway. This only occurs because Windows doesn't recognise the publisher.
HOW TO PLAY
- Select 'Create Character' in the main menu to generate a custom character. Save the character with a name of your choosing.
- Select 'Play Game' in the main menu, and choose your custom character and 'single-player' as the game mode.
- Move your character in-game with WASD. Approach a nearby ship to begin the tutorial, which will explain the controls for sailing and firing the guns.
Please do send us your feedback! Remember, this is an early build and it makes heavy use of placeholders, so the graphics and content will be improved in later builds.
Do you know if a Linux version will eventually be available?
Hmm for me the sea is pink, and when i go to the gundeck i still control the ships wheel instead of firing a gun...
Do you experience the same problem in the October demo? The ocean shader has changed now, but we have still seen pink water being reported. What are your PC specs?
Looking forward to the next update :)
