Sail. Go ashore. Discover what the charts leave out.
Accept Queen Wendi’s commission, take command of your ship, chart five island ports, and continue the journey on foot across a grounded historical maritime world.
The current iPhone build is fully playable from the royal hall to the open sea and back again, with saved progress, mobile controls, explorable islands, and settlements hidden away from the harbors.
Project updates and support
What you can play now
Command the ship
Steer with the rudder, set the sail, read your heading and speed, and cross bright open water toward a named harbor.
Make a real landfall
Approach a harbor and use Go Ashore to secure the vessel and continue the voyage on foot instead of stopping at the coastline.
Explore five islands
Walk beyond each port across larger collision-ready island terrain built for on-foot discovery.
Find hidden villages
Search for Pinewatch Hamlet, Lagoon End, High Beacon Hamlet, Stonecross, and Ashfield—five settlements not handed to you at the dock.
Meet a grounded cast
Encounter Queen Wendi, guards, sailors, and island residents presented as human characters in a realistic historical-maritime setting.
Keep the voyage moving
Progress is saved locally, the ship stays out of unnavigable shallows, and reset and recenter controls help recover the voyage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about Goodale’s Travels.
When will Goodale’s Travels be available?
Goodale’s Travels has a signed, playable iPhone build and is in active on-device testing. It is not yet a public App Store release. A download link will appear here when the release build is ready.
How do I sail the ship?
Use the rudder control to turn and the sail control to set speed. The heading bar, speed readout, wind direction, and harbor distance help you line up an approach. Center recenters the view, and Reset Ship returns the vessel to a safe sailing position if needed.
How do I get off the ship and explore an island?
Sail toward the named harbor. When Go Ashore becomes available, tap it. The ship is brought safely into harbor and play continues on foot, where you can explore the island beyond the dock.
What can I discover on the islands?
The current voyage includes five island destinations and five settlements hidden away from their ports: Pinewatch Hamlet, Lagoon End, High Beacon Hamlet, Stonecross, and Ashfield. Each island is intended to be searched on foot.
Can I send feedback or report a problem?
Yes. Include your iPhone model, iOS version, the screen or island involved, what you expected to happen, and the steps immediately before the problem. A screenshot is especially helpful for control, camera, collision, or character-placement issues.
Where is my voyage progress stored?
Progress is stored locally on your device. Goodale’s Travels does not currently provide a Goodale Studios account or cloud-sync service, so deleting the app or losing the device may remove progress.
