About the project

A game of my own, made out of passion: Hearthsail is a calm sailing adventure in pixel art.

You wash up in Hearth Harbor, your grandmother's harbour. You relight five fire bowls on the lighthouse to bring the neighbours back, catch 44 fish species, farm, cook and sail to islands that stay exactly where you found them. Version 1.0 brings 31 residents and 16 romances; the demo arrives in early 2027. Developed and published by me.

What I did

  1. /01Custom engine: TypeScript with an HTML canvas renderer
  2. /02Game concept, story and a daily loop of fishing, farming, cooking and sailing
  3. /03Endless ocean with stably generated islands across several climates
  4. /04Website, Steam page, Discord community, bilingual DE/EN
