    Design and drive your own speedboats! This simulation integrates thousands of hydrodynamic and aerodynamic forces over the procedurally generated hull, propeller, and engine to provide realistic motion that captures dynamics like chine walk and blowover in response to around 25-30 design variables.

    Added tunnel boats a month or so ago:

    Well done on releasing, but I must admit your steam price seems quite steep, perhaps compare what other games are available on steam for that price range and then adjust accordingly?

    New update. Vees have been completely redone from scratch using the new procedural mesh generation system developed before the tunnel boat release a few months ago. Much sexier looking and better handling now.

    I love the idea and the implementation of the boat editing and physics, but I think the UI could use some love and also I don't understand the goal of the game (if there is one)

    There's no goal, really, it's a simulator (what's the goal of Flight Simulator?). Boat guys like to experiment with designs and see how they affect performance and handling. It gives the opportunity to experience what it's like to drive high performance boats. Very niche, most of the players are boat racers or marine engineers.

    I explain it better over at the store: http://store.steampowered.com/app/501090
