The captain's simulation SHIPS SIMULATOR 2024 was released. Not only the steering, but also from the pulling of the fishing net to the opening and closing of the hatch

Publisher Play way announced SHIPS SIMULATOR 2024 on September 24. The compatible platform is PC (Steam). The Steam store page states that it will be released on May 17, 2024, but it is probably temporary. The Steam store page has been released, and a trailer has been posted on YouTube.

SHIPS SIMULATOR 2024 is a simulation game that manipulates a ship as a captain and pioneers the route to perform various missions. Players start by choosing what kind of ship to bite. There are various types of ships and can be selected from 20 real ships. All kinds of ships in the real world, such as cargo ships, fishing boats, tag boats (boats pulling large ships), and ferry for passengers, appear in the game. It seems that there is a difference in performance as well as appearance, and the ability value such as speed, small turn, and stability is different. It can be said that this is also reflecting real ships. In addition, there are different missions, such as where you carry and what and how much you catch. Does that mean that there are variations in gameplay as the number of ships?

Captain's work is diverse. The voyage route is not automatically determined. It is necessary to decide on a port call by considering the weather and fuel. For some reason, the captain player is doing the maintenance of the ship, the withdrawal of the fishing net, and the cargo unloading. On the screen for maintaining the ship, at least eight tools can be found. It seems that the appropriate tools are selected and repaired. In addition, various operations are possible, such as operating the crane. Each sailor seems to have levels and skills, so it seems that you can give instructions individually. Indeed, you are assured that you will feel like you're operating a ship with your own hands.

In this work, it seems that you can expect a sense of presence. At the beginning of the trailer, you can see a scene that steers a ship like a crushed ice ship and is heading for rescue of ships that are no longer sailing. In this scene, the way the ship shakes is clearly reproduced. It also seems to be able to use so-called chart radar and binoculars. Such a detailed production seems to be quite fun. It is also very beautiful to sail in a real sea view from a third-person perspective.

The title of this work is ships simulator 2024 with the year. It's a slightly special pattern. Generally, the titles with the year are most likely to be differentiated by manufacturers that develop the game series of the same name with the year with the year. But in the past, Play way has not been distributed from the SHIPS SIMULATOR series. It is likely that there are too many similar titles that other companies have worked on. As far as I searched on Steam, many similar works hit. In addition, many games that include SHIP in the title name are often included in the year. In the past, a trademark called SHIP SIMULATOR was filed (now expired). The reason is not clear, but it is interesting that there are many games with the year in the same genre.

The publisher of this work is Play way. It is a company that has released a number of real simulation games that respond to niche demand. CAR MECHANIC SIMULATOR 2021 and House Flipper are particularly popular. The other day, House Flipper 2, the sequel to House Flippers, was officially announced (related article). SHIPS SIMULATOR 2024 seems to be as a maniac finish as much as the past work. The day when you can play without omission in the example of other Play way titles is likely to be ahead, but let's look forward to it.

Ships Simulator 2024 will be released on Steam.
