Sails
This is a simple sailing ship generator created for PROCJAM 2024.
Press Enter to generate a random ship. Press S to toggle stencil mode, W to toggle water visibility.
Some ideas for improvement:
- Different types of sails.
- Small details such lanterns, anchor etc.
- More rigging.
- Option for folded sails.
- SVG export.

This is very cool!
You are the mad scientist of all things awesome! This is amazing.
This is great! Some ideas for more generator elements:
Airships?

I adore you and your work.
This is great, and an amazing place to work from in the future if you so desire. Lots of people have no idea where to start with boats in table top games.
You are a pirate !
Great auto-populating details, so much potential here. Being able to set sail/rig types per mast would make it very easy to get stand in graphics for Barquentines and other mixed rig vessels. I imagine future integration with dwelling generator could even allow for deck plans.
Oh man, if this included deck plans, my yearly “Talk like a pirate” one shot would be elevated!
I really like how your generators just evolve and that you expand the assortment of generators.
Something I'm looking forward to is seeing the different types of sails if you get to it. It would be cool to expand it to generate ships with designs from different countries and eras... also a slider for wear and tear would be cool.
Something that is a must have would be a flag, though.
I hope I don't come across as demanding btw, seeing a new generator from you is just so exciting :)
Awesome! Don't know much about ships, but i wonder if these settings can also imply a certain type of vessel that could be displayed when settings are adjusted/randomized? Like settings x,y,z results in something similar to a galleon or a,b,c is similar to a schooner, etc
That would be an excellent task if Watabou had an intern or something. I imagine that task would just be checking the currently set values against ranges and then picking the closest matching ship type label..
I like the idea, but I doubt the current version covers more than 2-3 real vessel type. Maybe after I implement more sail types...
Beautiful!
Excellent as always! Also, please add “multiple cannon decks” to the list of possible improvements.
cool
Génial comme d'habitude ! Merci beaucoup !
very windy!
Very slick! Thanks
Great as always!
