GDD / Game Guide

The following document is a sort of GGD that can also be used as help in case a player gets stuck. This is what the game was intended to play like, but due to the nature of game jams, the value balancing may be off.

Introduction:
Sail through a vast, unpredictable ocean, braving a fierce storm that pushes your vessel to its limits. Battle the elements as you make urgent repairs, pump out rising water, and fight to keep your course steady as you navigate northward, determined to reach your destination

Objective:
Sail in a Northerly heading without much deviation. The northern you go, the worse the weather, and thus the more repairs you'll have to do to your boat to keep it afloat. Engine failures and water leaks will occur more often, and it'll be harder to keep a Northerly heading.

Dynamic weather system:
The weather changes dynamically (sun/cloud coverage, wave intensity, water color, winds and increased ship roll). Also the worse the weather the quicker systems fail and its harder to sail.

Systems:

Story [ SPOILERS ]
The weather gets worse as you sail up North due to a giant tsunami heading your way, At the final moments the player sees the giant tsunami and the screen fades to black. The ending screen shows tranquil waters and a few parts, broken off the vehicle.

Thanks for playing!
