Amm... I had this idea for a long time that "Raft" could add up some new features like storm, doors and maybe a bow to kill a shark from a far distance just to make the game more fun. ;)

добавте генератор работающи на спирту ризину стекло пластик провода медь автомат калашникова самогонный аппарат чтобы какосы переплавлять в водку и спирт

Add BACKPACK

Maybe there are boats come into play would make the game much more enjoyable

To optimize to the water in 1.5 you guys should try and do what Planet Coaster has done. Make the water 2 planes, one above the other. Then give them a reflection map and a water texture, below the water let there simply be nothing. The game is only rendering those to flat surfaces and their textures. Then you have good looking water with barely any lag.

Here is what water looks like in planet coaster and it causes no lag.

i like it and i think i got some improvement ideas

i think maybe find a way to steer the raft and the bigger your raft the more paddles you'll need. later down the road they could potentially add cyclones, sharp rocks, whales, ect. to avoid by steering away. it would be a unique game mech. huge waves could push things way to fast aswell making it harder to grab stuff sometimes. also a pet you have to take care of aswell could be fun and hard aswell and you can build a cage for it.

difficulty

some more deadly fish good or sometimes two at a time. some creatures i can think about is different types of sharks like a hammerhead, megaladon and others. but other species aswell like piranhas, crabs that can walk on your raft and pinch, birds that will perch before they take food from you, colossal octopuses that can put three tentacles at a time on your raft like old sailor stories, jelly fish so if you jump in the water your injured. maybe rarely a mermaid that will cause mischief or help and a siren that will sing and make you want so swim away from your raft. they all could have different personalities and come at different times, weathers or locations. i think your health could need like bandages or meds or morphine to stop bleeding and heal. also more bars for like having to pee (we do drink alot of water lol) or being to hot and cold.

aesthetic

i think maybe it could use more aesthetic like weather changes snow, glaring sun,rain, foggy that could be cool and they could effect you too (if its hot stand in the shade, if its cold stand close by fire, if its foggy it could make it harder to see and maybe get a rain catcher? idk)scenic things too like dolphins jumping by or a huge whale off in the distance blowing water, shooting stars at night, flying fish. aswell as scary scenery like a bitten corpse, dead fish all bellied up, oil spills, a huge tentacle waving in the distance. you could see ufos off in the distance but one night you hear weird noises so you go outside and see a ufo beaming a whale and bringing it up and over your raft as huge amounts of water are dripping ontop of you. the whale... wailing! you hear engines and they both suddenly disappear..... or you know you could add decorations potted plants with flowers, art, telescopes,a hula girl dash bobble thing ect. and a way to upgrade your raft maybe start off wood but transition into metal and eventually make your raft more boss with radars, harpoon guns, canons and electricity so it feels progressive. the barrels could also be crates and they could carry man made stuff like decorations.

i hope i helped a bit

Please make the new update accessable on mac. All of my friends have macs and they really want to play the new update.

I suggest to add Multiplayer, if that would be possible without too much lag, that'd be amazing! My brother only wants to play with me if there is Multiplayer, so please add that and add more fish. One fish isn't enough, also add the ability to SIT in the chair.

when interacting with a chest and having the crafting menu open, you should be able craft with the items from the chest. it would make crafting expensive stuff easier, faster and more tidy.

I found that by the end game you store most of the stuff in the chests and have only useful stuff in your inventory.

This game is a great step in a the direction of survival gameplay. It's unique, you don't have to spend a lot of time to scavenge stuff, and then spend a lot of time to craft it. Everything comes towards you, and that keeps a flow. You get to reanact that "stranded in the ocean" fear.

Now I understand this is a game in the making. Although the game would be AMAZING with multiplayer--that's not what I want to throw in.

FAULTS OF THE INTRODUCTION -- HAVE MORE LOGICAL EXPLANATIONS.

The start, obviously, lacks in introduction. We just land on a piece of wood. And then stuff flows towards us. OKAY, but how? I'm not suggesting a compelling Oscar worthy story--but it would be nice if we see ourselves trying to survive in the ocean after a shipwreck of some sort. This would also explain the constant flow of supplies for example.

From this concept: Let us assume our player is a survivor of the shipwreck. Why did the ship go down? Again, I'm not suggesting a complicated storyline. But lets say you sunk in some place like the Bermuda Triangle, Somewhat resembling it at least. I'm not suggesting the very same Bermuda Triangle, but you know, because plot.

In time as we progress, we would see other ships in the horizon. But due to the Bermuda Triangle theme, disaster happens and that other ship goes down. It causes drama and horror with the player, and also gives an excuse to exert more supplies to the player.

The character opening this "How to survive by yourself" manual would explain why the character has a vast understanding of crafting. He/She would open it every time He/She attempts to craft. It would add nicely as a detail. Your call, Devs.

From this concept: As the player progresses, the player will be able to obtain more unique manuals for cooking, weaponry, crafting, and architecture.

Please, oh please, add a cutscene of some sort for when the shark enters the waters. It just appears out of the blue. And not in a menacing way, it just asserts itself in. We should have our player react to it with some voice acting or some music. #LoveForTheShark

I would value and urge you, the Dev's to implement such keen details. It would ensure a staple of glory and care to a game that's already headed to success.

CONCEPTS OF CRISIS -- BOSS BATTLES AND BOOTY FOR HARDCORE PLAYERS.

I recall reading weather changes that will be implemented. This would make the gameplay more quality as there will be more challenge. What I can add to this is:

When the player reaches a high level of structure on His/Her Raft Structure, possible boss battles could happen. Such as: (Please take with a grain of salt.)

Using a slingshot to shoot incoming pre-war sea-mines.

A giant octopus battle.

A great white shark battle, constantly attacking the raft. (Possible reference to jaws?)

A school of shark immigrating and attacking your raft.

A jellyfish infestation which opts out you even THINKING of entering the water.

A fire caused from lightning.

A cyclone closing in from the horizon, forcing the player to sail a course to avoid it.

EASTER EGGS -- BECAUSE REASONS.

Mermaids...

Sea Lizard Monsters... (Perhaps another boss battle? )

Ghost Ships...

Hallucinogenic ocean fruit... (???)

UFO Wreckage... must I say more?

(NOTE: I am not saying that we should make aliens a part of the game. But it could be cool. Cue X-Files theme. )

EXPLORATION

Now I know you Dev's already have their neck full of requests. This being the "multiplayer idea". And it's hard. OK, understandable. The bugs in multiplayer would possibly be a nightmare anyways... But if this game is keen on being single player, why not have the player be able to see some very small islands in the distance, and have the player sail his raft towards it? Maybe he could find some old pirate treasure, a sword possibly.

Ya'll have a pretty sweet game. Awesome work! Cheers.

Hi guys, I just played your game and think it is pretty nice already. I personally think the challenge might be a bit too hard in the beginning, maybe you should consider to give two game modes, an easy and a harder one as a choice. The game itself plays very stressful. To keep players busy is one thing, but to stress them out another you don't want to have. Scarp metal is definitely too much after a while, in the very beginning you do really need the amount you did add (it could be used for tougher walls and foundations in the end-game, then it would not add up stored in boxes too much). The raft would need some spikes or anything like that to protect it from the sharks later on when you developed and did built all other stuff, because there comes a point when they start being annoying when your base gets too big and you can not run to them anymore in time. Food is fine balanced, water needs 3 of those cookers, but is then fine too.

It is a raft game and no sail to the islands game, I did get that, but maybe you could give the players some more decorative items for building, for example baskets to drop coconuts, shelfs for tools or the storage boxes, bigger boxes would be also very nice. Also I would remove that wood pillar cage around the trees to let them look nicer. Some end-content might only get available after building everything else, maybe by a level up system, like spikes, decorations and maybe advanced cooking recipes, maybe also any better weapon against sharks or tougher foundations and walls.

These are just a few ideas. Seagulls could fly by and drop feathers or build nests and drop in there eggs if you build a house. I had trouble to drop a roof on my house that I did build a bit higher upwards on pillars, no idea if it works at all but maybe you should add thatch for picking it up in the ocean (or the possibility to dry the leaves to get thatch) and a nice roof option to build. I know you called the leaves that swim by thatch but it works rather like fiber that you usually use for crafting ropes, thatfor I believe you should at least let us dry it for a second recource. And a nice roof option is also missing.

Maybe adding an aquarium or pool in the middle of your raft to have some fishes multiply could be nice. Let us sit down in a recline or deck chair or give us a bed to lay down, because the character says often that we would be tired and it could also be used for respawn ;)

Thanks for reading my ideas. Happy developing guys ;) For more help you can contact me in steam.

If not already in game, controller support would be great. A tent to build and sleep in at night. Hold shift while hovering over a item in your inventory to automaticly put it where it belongs. (example: minecraft). Bigger chest space.

And especially much more items in a stack. 10 is very little especially if your progressed alot and you have too much items.

Thank you, please take these into thought.

I think the shark should only appear when you get in the water and instead of it attacking your raft, there should be bad weather so lightning or something could catch the raft on fire.

new game mechanic like scuba diving and getting coral and stuff, make the raft drift and make paddles in which you can move your raft if it's small enough to go to other areas which would be different under water

Maybe new weapons, like guns and bullets from scrap metal, and more sharks the larger your raft gets.

Raft is a good game with astounding potential, so I'd like to add a couple of ideas I'd like to see in the game. (This post may be a bit long)

1. Ocean expanse.

Raft has its own swimming mechanics which no player needs to use, since everything is done on the one immobile platform, so I was thinking that every so often, there would be another small raft that would appear on the horizon, which may contain chests, barrlels, lamps, and other things the player could benefit from. The player would then have to swim out and retrieve the loot before it floats away, adding a little more urgency as you have to temporarily abandon your own raft, leaving it vulnerable to sharks.

To hasten the trip between rafts, the player could also build small boats, allowing the player to go a bit faster and be less fatigued, however the shark can also attack boats, immobilizing the boat and forcing the player to deal with the shark or resume the journey boat-less.

Random Rafts could also be secured in place to form a permanent raft if they have an anchor attached, allowing for the player to see more random Rafts. This may however lead to the player creating a large bridge across the entire ocean, so the anchors will cost very heavily on rope and scrap, and each new raft that is secured might have its own shark.

2. Dangerous Depths.

So far, Raft hasn't been a particularly difficult game and is mostly grinding for more buildings, so the addition of new monsters and hazards would certainly get the blood pumping of the players. To stop players from creating enormous bridges across the map, foundation blocks would be affected by rot, which appears on a 1 in 500 chance, but only after a certain amount of things have been placed. Rot can appear on any foundation, regardless of whether it can be attacked by the shark, and will slowly degrade the foundation as time goes on. When it finally destroys the foundation, it will spread to each foundation and continue to degrade them. If a rotting foundation is repaired, the rot goes away and the foundation stays. This forces the player to constantly maintain and oversee their raft, or risk large portions of their raft being obliterated by long-term rot.

This next idea, while perhaps a little overkill, would be a very entertaining aspect if added. Every so often at dawn, the moon would appear red, indicating a blood moon. When a blood moon appears, two large red eyes will appear in a randomly determined water space near the player's raft. These red eyes of course belong to C'thulu, and if the raft near these red eyes is not well lit with torches and lights, then the raft that is near the space with the red eyes will be destroyed by a whirlpool. This will add the sense of desperation and hopelessness that a true raft should have.

At the cost of a little extra materials, the player would be able to reinforce their raft in key locations, adding a little extra durability to withstand the disasters of the ocean. Fortified raft foundations won't be completely made of metal due to the nature of rafts and can still be affected by rot, C'thulu and sharks, but they take longer to be broken.

3. Home Adrift.

This idea is fairly obvious, as it just gives ideas for more customization options in raft, but I figured I'd pitch it anyways.

They player would rarely be able to collects extra containers such as handbags, satchels and boxes which hold luxury items such as pot plants, bags, torches and other helpful items, along with small items to make you feel at home, like posters, playing cards and other trinkets and collectables. Luxury items help with practical purposes, while trinkets just help the place look cool.

That's all I could think of right now, I hope that you enjoy my ideas, and that they are not to difficult to implement into the game. Thanks for taking the time to read this, and have a good day!

-Omicron

Add spike to add to the edge of the foundation that hurts the shark and causes it to swim away but the spike also have a low durability so after a shark attacks it twice it breaks and the player should also get hurt from it if we touch it. Also add more objects like fences and smaller walls. also a slider that lets you limit your fps so people don't overwork their graphics cards

Add a back pack that requires 20 thatch and 8 string idk why those numbers but yea the thatch acts like the fabric the backpack is made of and the string is for the straps and to tie it together. And since its made of leaves when there is scrap metal is should have the risk of cutting open the bag and dropping the items.

Ummmm idont know why but we are gonna needing more aquatic animals like whales,killer whale and hammerhead shark or maybe great white shark and add harpoon or maybe boat to go hunting some whales......

Ideas!

- Adding a backpack or bag, I think someone else suggested it but I second that!

- Adding items like rope, nails, or cups into the barrels. That seems logical.

- Floating crates.

- Storms, rougher waters, stuff like that. (I loved the addition of night by the way!)

- Extra sharks as time goes on or more enemies (like maybe a squid breaks a foundation or somethin?)

- Types of fish, like tuna and stuff, that give more or less food and water.

- Maybe like sticks and planks? Making an axe with planks seems weird. (or like 'scrap wood')

- A tree that gives fruits, maybe like a banana tree or a pineapple plant.

- Baskets (from the palm leaves), that you could place and fill with food!

- Strengthening or upgrading your foundation. I don't wanna lose my nice second floor!

That's all I've got for now. Thank you so much, guys. Your game is amazing.

I ask you to optimize and add multiplayer game without Demp or else

allow players to build multi story buildings

Just to let you know, someone put this on the gamejolt website, I have reported it just to be sure as you explecidly said its only available on itch. http://gamejolt.com/games/raft/232547

is there an end to the game

I think you can add island and you can add some items to keep shark from your house or you can add some items to kill it except spear and let us sit on the chair and use table please :D you can add bigger chests they are too small and some other things to eat and some other fish spicies too and some boats would be nice too to get to the island

you can add bed to skip night too

I saved just before I died.How do I restore to an earlier save?Whenever I load it I die in 1 second from hunger.

i think it canbe a goo idea to add Animal fat in the game, it can be use to make working the standing lantern.

And i think the wood ishould be needed to make the campfire

Adding different kinds of fish can be well also

It would be necessary to be able to improve its constructions of wood to metal

Edit:

It can be useful to add a bow when you are too far away to shoot on the shark

I'm sure a few of these have been touched on but

- Ways to collect fish in bulk (like a net) and introduce other types of sea food- clam, squid, seaweed

- Ability to dive and collect/explore

- Use ability to collect plastic litter and craft into items (like snorkel gear)

- Different player modes like seen in Minecraft: Survival (Easy, Medium, Hard), Casual (no shark but still thirst and hunger), Exploration (crafting but immortal), Free build (all resources and unlimited health)

-Introduce other threats like weather

-a bed (or hammock) to get through the night or recouperate health

-I saw the mention of islands and boats and really like the idea

Leather From Shark to do Backpack and any birds like seagull :D

I want WEATHER so much! Rain (you need build roof to protect yourself), sunshine ( you have to go cover in xy hours or you die) etc :D

I would like extra sharks/difficulty levels.

Maby you can make like strong fundation tha has double hp something like metal fundation metal walls etc.

You can make first aid kit that heals you for 25%

Sleepeng bag for sleeping over night

torch

more sharks

more crafting stuff

PS im the guy that asked if i can help you in art way xD

Just brainstorming some ideas:
Banana and/or pineapple plants for the tree growbed.
More sorts of fish you can catch(some kind of random selector).
Birds that fly across the sky.
Bow and arrows/ throwing spears to shoot the birds with(you swim out and get them when you kill them(can't use to kill the shark)).
Food that spoils after a sertain time span.

A question, is the ocean endless?

a suggestion, why not a way to automatically cook food or water? You'll especially need that if you go through with the island idea everyone is talking about

What about different fishes with diffrent rareitys and that some could give you more on the food then other fishes, just a little bit boring with only mackerel. (Sucks at English)

ADD RESPAWN PLS

ADD RESPAWN PLEASE

Can you add a vsync option so that this game doesn't use all of my gpu?

Add This Game to Steam's Greenlight Program

I love the game and would love to see it reach its highest potential possible, but that will not happen until it is added on steam. The fact that it is not on steam is the only reason i do not play RAFT anymore... I want to be able to see how many hours i put into the game and eventually i will want to be able to unlock achievements. Even if the game is still a prototype you will still be able to receive mass amounts of support through steam and easily put a price tag on the game to help out develop the game further.

In conclusion i am basically saying i will not play this game until i can pay to play it on Steam. Lol.

Instead of having to use pillars to build upwards; you should also have beams so you don't have to branch out the lower levels using tons of pillars that clutter the raft up

I suggest adding mod support so you could have more maps/game modes, etc and by that you could build a bigger community. + i want to learn programming (have already a little) and i really like raft and with this i could enhance my programming skills and 3D modeling, and get more contacts associated with all of that. Thank you :)

*Make throwing spears to throw at the shark! (Items: 2 Planks, 1 rope)

Hi

ive played the game for a couple hours now, and i love the essence of it, survival at its finest. Now it does need some work.

As for the game overall, it became repetitive, so i suggest creating some new topics; raft upgrades (a foundation that can hold the shark longer, as the game moves forward the raft becomes too big to reach the shark in time). I did get a bit frustrated at the attack animation, it was unpredictable, sometimes not effective or simply not satisfying (yes... proper attack sound is a plus). but also i found the way of defending the raft boring. So i propose 2 things, a spiked foundation or spike attachment to the foundation to hurt the shark as it destroys its target, and also a roped spear or simply a bow and arrow... in order to make it a bit more fun to kill the shark.

Also, the shark thing became predictable, i somehow managed to synchronize my character´s thirst with the attacks(almost, a short time window), so you could make the attacks RNG or introduce new enemies. like fish that break the nets or even birds that steal the food you leave a while in the cooking station after it´s done. In order to make the player be more aware of it´s surroundings.

After my raft became big enough i thought i could repair the foundations that were damaged by the shark, only to realize its easier to destroy the damaged one and create a new one, as repairing it consumed way more resources. which makes the repair option worthless, so you could improve it or just remove it from the game.

When chop´ping down the palm trees, its not very responsive... sometimes i have to find a different angle than last time for it to start working.

And lastly a bit more noob friendly, after 2 or 3 hours i realized i wouldn't die if i fell in the water.... which at the moment caused quite the laughter, but also annoyance for the inconvenience of avoiding every water net. This is also directed to the food topic.. after 3 games i realized i could craft the fishing rod early instead of saving resources for more foundations.

PS: make the crafting menu bigger, and block the player´s movement while in the menu.. thats how i found out i wouldn´t die in the water.

http://imgur.com/a/AWof7

i love the game already. here is what i think that could make it better,

+ add a day counter. this will be fun. we can then share our score with friends and others

+ add sounds for being thirsty and hungry.

+ add blood effect. whenever you get hurt make the screen red or with blood spots

+ add gears. with this you can create small machines which can automate the water cooking as an example.

+ add swimming underwater. with gears and scrap you can make a oxygen machine.

+ add ores. collect them by swimming to the bottem of the ocean.

+ add an ore furnace. melt the ores.

+ upgrade the floors/walls and more. with the ores.

+ add more options with the ores that i suggested.

+ add buoyancy bags (air bags under the raft). they will keep the raft floating when the wood is upgraded with a material that is more heavy

+ add the ability to sink. when you dont have enough air bags holding up the raft.

- items slow down. items keep on roling for ever. like when i chop down a tree the coconuts keep on roling till they disappear in the deep ocean.

-see through objects. when a player walks under a stair. you will glitch through it with your head.

-shark doesnt care. the shark sometimes just swims right through my raft.

-items fall through the floor sometimes

thanks alot for your time.

please keep on working with this!

-Dutchwarrior

Any Android development? I want to play Raft on the go!

And a save file that would be compatible with future updates!

I'm not going to read through every single post to see if it's been mentioned or not.

You need to fix the picking up objects, and if your inventory is full, it'll randomly drop items to open up space and I end up losing the shit I wanted to save and I keep the shit I don't want. Then when I go to try to pick them up, I have to first make more room in my inventory, and by the time I get back to actually picking up the item that the game decided to drop, It has either disappeared or rolled into the water.

I get once you have 40 net grabbers in a row, it really doesn't matter if you lose something, but it is quite annoying because it keeps happening. There needs to be double the amount of inventory at the very least.

"It's scary to think humans can send people to the moon, but can't have a civil conversation on the internet"

The game is called "Raft" so throwing out potential ideas of it becoming an explorer and more survival

Maybe with the cans make metal foundation or add a plate of metal on an existing foundation and as always gotta have some furniture cuz i love it oh what about lemons ya know scurvy n stuff

Hi guys, I saw this game on youtube and it looked interesting enough, so I bought it. Its obviously in a rather early stage, but it has a lot of promise I think. There is a lot of things that can be added and I am sure will be if you three don't loose interest (and I hope not), but there is one thing in particular that is bothering me.

When you build a planter it automatically comes with soil. I would think soil would be one of the most difficult resources to obtain in the middle of the ocean. Obviously, even if you can get to the bottom the salt levels would be way to high for anything to grow in the soil from there. You could do something with purifying maybe, not sure how that would work. But you must be relatively near to land considering all the resources that just float by, so I can imagine every now and then you might see an entire tree, including stump with soil (even if I feel this should be a rare or even very rare occurrence). There will be some salt pollution, you could toy with that by making plants grow at a reduced rate or not being entirely healthy. Either some of the time (matter of luck, or in a later state due to available equipment maybe) or all of the time.

You could do more with this as well. For example, animals have been known to move between islands by hitchhiking with trees. Maybe if you are very lucky you also get an animal. At mid to late game, poisonous spiders or snakes can be milked for poison to lace weapons with maybe. A monkey can maybe be kept for fertilizer. I am not sure what other species have been known to travel this way, but it might be something to toy with (obviously much, much later).

furniture and food my favorite things to do in these types of games i love cooking in game and decorating, maybe when stabbing the shark and its almost dead could collect bones from it and make decor or armor.

or maybe a couple huge rocks stick out of the ocean and you can put a rope around it and collect some cool stuff

or make a spear and throw it at some seagulls or some birds trying to migrate somewhere else

I'm sure it's been suggested already but I would LOVE to have some difficulty settings - let users control how fast the hunger/thirst bars decrease, how often the shark attacks - I would love to see the addition of "Creative" and "Hardcore" modes! Creative mode could be focused mostly on building with very slow hunger/thirst bars and a robust health bar, the shark could get nerfed, and generally cater to a player who would rather experiment with building than constantly hover around the stove and water purifier. Hardcore mode could have multiple sharks and key resources could be more scarce, providing a challenge for experienced players.

I have some ideas to improve the Raft experience. (If something is not understood well, I'm sorry I speak Spanish and I'm using google translator)

+ Put a difficulty meter (To be able to avoid the shark, for example)

+Add islands to increase the adventure

+Enhanced storage space for better storage

+Longer length of the game, since you can get all the Objects in an hour and a half more or less

That's all, I want to say that the game I like a lot and that's why I want to help trying to give ideas.

Goodbye.

GamerTiger

I'd really like to see a creative mode, and stacks of 50 when you get materials - maybe you can unlock them somehow; "increase storage" tiers or something.

I honestly don't like the new water - it's too dark for my taste. it doesn't seem tropical enough, if that makes sense

A creative mode would be nice, Not like "NUUUGH I WANT DIS TO BE MOINCROFT BECUZ MOINCROFT IS FUN HUEHUEHUE" nope, similar, like any creative mode, were you can be creative and have your mind be your limit, no costs, no sharks (well, you should be able to add sharks if you want) also, WHO NEEDS PILLARS WHEN YOU CAN BE CREATIVE AND not be annoyed by that, Although its not necessary, if you guys want the creative mode does need pillars or doesnt need pillars, it is your choice!, And no,Its not for "HURR DURR MOINCROFT" Its more for having creative stuff, also being able to visit other's people creative raft would be nice, like, some way of having a "Best and most creative Raft" Leaderboard, and if you want, You can go and try to get to be the most creative raft, but if you dont want to appear on the leaderboard even if your raft is creative, then, you can choose to not go on the leaderboard, as in the pause menu in creative the Leaderboard button should be there, and being able to vote rafts and such,If this is too much but you want to add it, please, take your time, your game is wonderful, and if this is too hard and such, im not a programer (in what way was it written? not sure, my main language is spanish lol) so i dont know if it would be hard, i do know making games isnt easy, but if this is hard, then do it later in the game when there already more stuff added, or if its too hard, then dont do it, i still love this game and will do always, And take your time in this nice game, dont rush it, as it can end in buggy messes as anyone would know, and nobody wants that, especially in this great game (can someone tell me how many times i complimented this game lol, its still great and love it) So yeah, this isnt needed, only add it if you guys or if you want, Also, I want to offer myself as a translator from english to spanish, To make people who speak spanish see more interest in the game, as certain people avoid games that are in english and have no translation because not knowing the language very well, I just want to help make the game Better, as if it wasnt great already, i just want to be helpful

Something that I have been thinking about while playing the game

*Better weapons to kill the shark with= like a bow and arrow, sling shot, be able to line the raft with metal, that way when the shark attacks, it gets more injured

*Being able to build more resistant raft, like Metal- can't be destroyed, or not easy too

*Possibly Storms- I thought storms would be an extra thing to live against

*I do like the thought of different goals to meet

*Skill building?

*PLEASE MORE THINGS TO BUILD

I really do enjoy this game, just reached a plateau where there isn't anything to do

How do you open the control panel

anyone?

Hi, I think putting the controls list into an ingame menu would be extremely useful, especially for new players.

why can't I down load

why can't I down load

Add Achievements!!!.... The Game Is So Empty Without It.

Hi

How about some sort of weather? Rain/Snow for example. Without a roof u aint able to cook while its raining.

Wind Maybe?

Lightning (coulda set ur Raft on fire).

A sail maybe?

Scrap droprate should be lowered.

U shoulda get 5 planks out of a Palm.

Scrap could be used to reinforce Bottom Floor, so that they can survive 3 Sharkattacks (the borders of the Bottom Floor could be steel-plated).

A Water-Barrel (craftable) to collect Water, where u can drink directly (with E) so i dont have to carry 30 Water around if i wanna play for 1 Hour.

Multiplayer support.

Inventory size should be improved (adding a craftable Backpack to the game to get 1 more row in the inventory?)

Electronic Scrap from Barrels to craft a Radio?

Pointing Lights to light up the sea from upper floors (dont now the english word for it Spotlights?)

Add clothing scrap

A craftable Bed.(Planks + Nails + clothing scrap)

Keep up the good work,

Kanomar

Pls add inverted y axis on mouse.

it would be cool if you added different modes like ones that are like the normal one right now maybe one for people who just want to focus on building or something like that oh and maybe make the day night cycle a little but longe

- Please, add the V-sync graphical option vertical synchronization. Thanks

guess I have an idea for a weapon (again)

weapon~ Harpoon gun

uses~ killing shark from far distances. (maybe in later updates, you could see the fish, so you could use it to catch them easily)

materials~

• wood
• scrap
• nail/screw
• crank - crafted by wood, nail, and scrap
• spear
• rope
• spring - crafted by scrap

hope you might be able to read this, and add it in a later update! (if not that's fine) but ye, bye!

ATLANTIS

Some additions towards building your raft:

- Roof (the only roof currently is just floors that need pillars. How about a roof that doesn't need pillars?)

- Triangular roof (like the roof on a house)

- Triangular foundation/floor/roof

- Walls that can stack on top of each other

- Large Pillar (pillars that are 2x2 which allow you to place floors 4 blocks out from it (instead of just 1)

- Cannon: End game mounted item that will need to have gunpowder (rare from barrels) and scrap metal to shoot. Used to damage shark if your not around while it is attacking.

- Ladder

- Roof with a hole in it so you can either put ladder on side of a wall, or put it connected to the hole roof.

- Lastly, metal reinforcements. It's been posted about a lot, but I felt I needed to add it to this.

I have a few, a threat other than the shark; something a little more unique, and maybe some defenses to prevent said threats from destroying your Raft. Right now it feels like having to stick the shark with a spear every so often is just annoying micromanagement.

Maybe make the furniture be functional instead of straight up cosmetic down the line, and of course, the more aesthetically pleasing things to build the better.

I also feel the current way of getting materials needs an update, given the early development stage of the game it works for now; but we need something like... Well, why not let your raft actually float out instead of being stationary?

Like, come across wreckage from other ships and so on; and give us a way to anchor our raft, either with a straight up anchor of sorts or a way to pin it to other wreckage, like a harpoon gun with a rope attachment. And, obviously the bigger your raft, the more of an anchor you'll need. Give us a little exploration and the game will go a long way. I feel like this idea will help preserve the game's uniqueness and set it apart from other stranded survival games, while giving the players more things to do; and a more unique method of gathering materials other than just fishing for them with nets and your hook.

Sorry for bad English and im not American,British or any other English speaking country.

You can add waves and more fish and birds (like seagulls) doors,bed,little boats,turtels,rain and storms,lighting and that's enough

i've played this game for a little bit and thought of a few things ya could add...

Sharks: a clear reason as to why they would attack the raft(like dont make to much noise), maybe more appearing at night and less to none during the day.

A bed would be a good way to get through the night especially since I feel like my character would sleep during the night anyway.

maybe something to store clean water in.

something that i can craft to stop the shark from attacking certain part of my raft (like spikes made from scrap metal).

these are just some of the thing that i thought about... I'll let ya'll know if i think of more...

But good game so far, i cant wait to see where this goes!

*coughs* other fish types. other wall designs.
uhm ,, ,, door? *coughs*

you should make the game for chrome

make the game for ch

its an a great idea to make a +great+ gamemode that people will donate you so much on this gamemode what im gonna advice for you itch.io,

i think you should make some a couples of ideas and here the list:

-bigger stacks

-show shark's health

-Available option to Play CO-OP with itch,io members with friends from 1-4 players to join lobby's with password or without (before i saw the prototype trailer my friends told me that its gonna be a amazing game and its really an awesome game! but my opinion is you should add CO-OP option that's will be a GREAT change in game!

-add crouch On control (CTRL)

-Customise custom controls or play with a controller and customise the controller's controls

-custom chat with players on the server (if you will add the co-op)

-Some Commands that only the host can do (Again, if you will add the CO-OP)

-much more troubles expect the shark (if you made this awesome game, trust me you could do more)

-mysterious islands (sorry if i didn't spelled right mysterious) that there can be a chest or some stuff you could take like scrap planks and more...

-ships to find these islands or to move places

-some servers on your servers to make a 32 max players on public lobby (WITH FRIENDS ITS WILL BE MAX 4 PLAYERS)

-timer for the shark to spawn, like imagine you killed the shark you got shark meat and now you want to find treasures under the water or through the ocean and there's will be a timer like 6:00 Minutes to the shark spawn or something like that (are you still with me or you sleeping on your Keyboard? xD)

- i hope if you will make at least 3 suggestions of these it was so hard to thinking on these ideas but hey, do what you want its your awesome game!

thanks, SouthStorm

AND BUILD HOUSES!!!!!!!

J'ai Quelques pour ce jeu idée Qui connais très Un grand succès:

_rajoutez des animaux comme des oiseaux qui donnerais des plumes pour faire des flèches avec le rajout d'un arc pour tuer le requin du radeaux

-de la pierres ainsi que du silex

-autres espèces d'arbre comme le pommier pour les pommes

-basez vous sur minecraft avec plus de rp de la logiques et de la physique

-des portes et fenêtres en verre grâce a du sable que l'on pourrais cuire dans un four et que lon trouverais sur éventuelles îles que l'ont pourait explorer

-rajouter des outils tel que la pelle pour le sable et la pioche pour la pierre un peu a la stranded deep

-sus îles rajouter des animaux tel que les cochons les vaches

sur ce bonne chance je continue a faire des dons pour ce jeu il as bcp davenir ;)

I would absolutely love to play this game in VR with the HTC Vive/Oculus Touch Obviously VR isn't owned by a large amount of people so other content should be added first. Just something that would be pretty cool in my opinion!

hello! i was thinking.. maybe tye character wouldnt get hungry/dehydrated so fast. one day without food or water can kill you.. but thats not usually how it goes.. maybe make it slower. *constructive critiscism (if thats even how you spell it...)*

I just got the game today, and I think its pretty cool however it be awesome to get a small tutorial guide along with a creative mode

In game music kind of like minecraft's where it just comes on at random points would be a great asset, and I can do such a thing. Email me at matthewlawrence02@yahoo.com if you're intereseted. Instead of just an item net, I would also recommend a fishing net to capture different types of fish, mackerel still included. A bow would be a neat addition to hunt new animals, maybe even birds. Anything's possible with this masterpiece of a game.

I think It should added this

Item:

Wheat seed

Weight balance.

Implement a simple weight and buoyancy system so the raft has to be balanced.
If you stack too much on one side, the raft will gradually tilt and fall over.

If multiplayer is implemented, people may need to run back and forth to compensate.

This game is off to a really amazing start! It's not really like any other survival game I've played, and the only thing I would have against exploration of any sort is that it would make it more similar to Stranded Deep and/or Salt. Having to stay on the raft is the whole point of this game, and I really like that limitation. However, as it is right now, sustainability is reached fairly quickly, and the only reason to build the raft up/out is to have a place to put your stuff, and for appearances. Without a weather system, there's no reason to build sheltered areas. Without food spoilage, it's fairly easy to just hoard veggies and fish. I would like to see some means of deterring the shark, at least temporarily; other people have suggested foundations made of metal, or iron spikes put around the edges, and I like both of those ideas. The player could also leave caught fish tied in the water at the edges of the raft, to give the shark something more interesting than busting up the raft for no reason.

But even with all of those ideas, there's still not an end goal beyond simply surviving as long as possible. Even a "you survived X days" thing like in Don't Starve would be better. Maybe have islands, but since there's no way to steer the raft, have it so that not only are you risking a shark attack by leaving the raft to swim to the island, but put a timer on-screen for the few minutes you have to gather stuff from the island and get back to the raft before it drifts too far out of range to get back safely. Or maybe each day there's a microscopic chance of drifting into sight of a rescue ship or the mainland, like a 0.5-1% chance, just so there IS an end to survive towards. It wouldn't even have to be terribly detailed, maybe the land or ship fades into view and then the game fades to black with "you survived X days and were rescued".

Here are my thoughts:

Ideas:

- Being able to fancy things up after time would be nice. For example the water purifier, it could be used as it is in the beginning of the game, but with time it would be nice to be able to build a better looking or even semi or fully automated water filtering system/device with more materials and/or more complex materials.

- As many people already suggested, more and also usable furniture would make the raft more personalised and would generally help getting more out of the game.

- I would suggest being able to craft a backpack of some sort, so one is able to carry more items.

- I think it would be fun to be able to dive just a little by putting oneself on a rope attached to the raft or so. This could be used as a way to implement new materials in the game like stone, sand, shells, corals and generally stuff that can be found in the ocean. I think it should be a limited option though. If one would be able to dive very deep or too far away from the raft, it would take away the game from the general idea from surviving on a raft, which I really enjoy,

- Having different wheather from time to time would be a nice touch. Rain could force the player to build their grill and water purifier under a roof and seeing higher waves instead of the always flat water could add more diversity.

- It's nice to have a shark buddy around so one doesn't feel too alone on the ocean, however, one could add more animals. Maybe birds in the sky (maybe shootable with a crafted bow) or dolphins who can be seen jumping out of the water from time to time.

- Being able to catch fish with a net

- It always looks like the raft is on a fixed point in the ocean and the incoming stuff is floating by without the raft itself moving across the ocean, I think it would be nice seeing the raft moving as well.

Bug fixes:

- When your raft is big enough the shark sometimes swims in circles and swims through your raft. Not attacking it but unnaturally swimming through the wood.

- The shark can put his head through your walls in order to attack your foundations of the raft, which seems kinda pointless.

- I wonder why repairing something takes more wood than the original building process.

those are IDEAS BAM

• Harpoon gun
• hammock
• different types of hammers, such as the builders hammer (the regular one) the weapon hammer (to make weapons obv) and maybe a few more ¯\_◕ᗜ◕_/¯
• clothes, such as a straw hat, and maybe you spawn with raggedy/ torn clothes
• straw, spring, harpoon, cloth, dirt, screw, screwdriver, crank, button, blade

• harpoon~ rope x2, spear
• crank~ wood, scrap
• button~ scrap, spring
• spring~ scrap
• screw~ scrap
• screwdriver~ scrap, wood
• straw hat~ straw x2
• weapon hammer~ hammer, scrap x2, blade
• blade~ scrap x2

I do get that this "adds to the thrill" or whatever, but in the worst case scenario, you should give us a function in the options to make this "feature" optional.
I have been able to build an amazing boat and the game is really fun and addictive, but I wanted to see what's happening to a barrel which has been stuck in the sea for no reason. I knew I was probably going to die but I was expecting to be able to load my last save file.
BUT NO! Apparently NOT!
Seriously, all the best to the dev(s) but this is something that I really didn't enjoy.
Besides that - the game works fantastic and I really like it! Can't wait for more updates! :)

note: the original poster is Xano, I really like this idea so yeah, reposting

"This game is a great step in a the direction of survival gameplay. It's unique, you don't have to spend a lot of time to scavenge stuff, and then spend a lot of time to craft it. Everything comes towards you, and that keeps a flow. You get to reanact that "stranded in the ocean" fear.

Now I understand this is a game in the making. Although the game would be AMAZING with multiplayer--that's not what I want to throw in.

FAULTS OF THE INTRODUCTION -- HAVE MORE LOGICAL EXPLANATIONS.

The start, obviously, lacks in introduction. We just land on a piece of wood. And then stuff flows towards us. OKAY, but how? I'm not suggesting a compelling Oscar worthy story--but it would be nice if we see ourselves trying to survive in the ocean after a shipwreck of some sort. This would also explain the constant flow of supplies for example. I understand this is a game in works, but this can be worked on.

From this concept: Let us assume our player is a survivor of the shipwreck. Why did the ship go down? Again, I'm not suggesting a complicated storyline. But lets say you sunk in some place like the Bermuda Triangle, Somewhat resembling it at least.

SHIPS: In time as we progress, we would see other ships in the horizon. But due to the Bermuda Triangle theme, disaster happens and that other ship goes down. It causes drama and horror with the player, and also gives an excuse to exert more supplies to the player.

MANUALS FOR CRAFTING AND REALISM

The character opening this "How to survive by yourself" manual would explain why the character has a vast understanding of crafting. He/She would open it every time He/She attempts to craft. It would add nicely as a detail. Your call, Devs.

From this concept: As the player progresses, the player will be able to obtain more unique manuals for cooking, weaponry, crafting, and architecture.

SHARK BUDDY -- EVERYBODY LOVES HIM

Please, oh please, add a cutscene of some sort for when the shark enters the waters.--It just appears out of the blue... And not in a menacing way, it just asserts itself in. We should have our player react to it with some voice acting or some music. #LoveForTheShark

I would value and urge you, the Dev's to implement such keen details. It would ensure a staple of glory and care to a game that's already headed to success.

CONCEPTS OF CRISIS -- BOSS BATTLES AND BOOTY FOR HARDCORE PLAYERS.

I recall reading weather changes that will be implemented. Surely this would make the gameplay ooze with more quality as there will be more challenge. What I can add to this is:

When the player reaches a high level of structure on His/Her Raft Structure, possible boss battles could happen. Such as: (Please take with a grain of salt. Perhaps they might be TOO ambitious. )

Using a slingshot to shoot incoming pre-war naval sea-mines.

A giant octopus battle.

A great white shark battle, constantly attacking the raft. (Possible reference to jaws?)

A school of shark immigrating and attacking your raft.

A jellyfish infestation which opts out you even THINKING of entering the water.

A fire caused from lightning.

A cyclone closing in from the horizon, forcing the player to sail a course to avoid it.

EASTER EGGS -- BECAUSE REASONS.

Mermaids...

Sea Lizard Monsters... (Perhaps another boss battle? )

Ghost Ships...

Hallucinogenic ocean fruit... (???)

UFO Wreckage... must I say more?

(NOTE: I am not saying that we should make aliens a part of the game. But it could be cool as hidden stuff. Cue X-Files theme. )

EXPLORATION -- THE ENDLESS HORIZON

Now I know the Dev team already have their inbox full of requests. This being the "multiplayer idea". Maybe it's too much. And it's hard. OK, understandable. The bugs in multiplayer would possibly be a nightmare anyways... But if this game is keen on being single player, why not have the player be able to see some very small islands in the distance, and have the player sail his raft towards it? Maybe he could find some old pirate treasure, a sword possibly.

Ya'll have a pretty sweet game. Awesome work! Cheers. "

I feel like the shark is something that could be improved the most. He is not very scary or powerful and there is only one. Here is my idea for modifications on the shark

• Fix the shark's attack. There are some bugs/irregularities with the sharks attack. If you are standing on the very edge of the platform the shark can attack you as if you were in the water. The shark can also attack you without facing you directly. He can be next to you and bite and you will take damage even though it doesn't look like he is. Sharks in real life, especially great whites, have powerful jaws and are extremely fast. You should consider changing his attack so that instead of swimming up to the player and biting over and over, he will charge violently towards him and deal one very powerful attack. Following this attack the shark would dive underwater and appear somewhere else after a brief delay just as he does now after he his significantly damaged. Not only will these changes make the shark more realistic, but they will make him more intimidating. Players will see the shark charging forward and be terrified for their lives. You should also consider not making the shark stalk the raft so closely. Maybe make him swim farther out and occasionally dive under the water to confuse the player and make him loose track of where the shark is.
• Make the shark drop more valuable resources. Shark meat is cool but considering you can grow your own vegetables it isn't extraordinarily useful. If his drops had a bit more utility it might make hunting the shark a more worthwhile endeavor. A possible option for one of these drops would be shark teeth which could be used to craft better tools. Also if there was a much larger delay in spawning another shark after the first is killed then the player would have yet another reason to kill it, as it would insure his safety for a significant duration.
• Make killing the shark have drawbacks. What if there was a reason to not kill the shark? Maybe when the shark dies there is a chance that his blood will attract more sharks. The blood of the player getting hurt by the shark might do this as well, making him more hesitant to pick a fight with the beast. This would end up making the shark a lot more interesting. Players will have to decide if they want to hunt the shark for his rare materials and risk attracting more of them which will cause more problems for them in the long run. Also this makes the game increase in difficulty over time which would make the game more interesting.

Can the developer PLEASE make multiple lives. It's really annoying when I die in the game, and I can't play in it anymore. It makes my rage.

Hey Raft Guys Dvoloper............ ummmm anyway just add some more monster and a thing to see or go underwater with craftable masks and more types of fish. Add that sharks can jump and even come on the thing...... XD But add some more vegetable. More weapons. More fruits. More something good. Make the moon large or something. Add durability. Anyways good game keep updating and make a way to play the previous saves on the new version!!!! XD!!!

Been playing this for a while now and I've been enjoying the ability to freely build with the occasional shark attack. I also enjoy the endless sea and that you aren't expected to find land ever just endlessly float in the ocean. It's a fun concept really.

A thought I had was to add in the ability to make doors and a bed that you can sleep in and be able to sit in the chair that is already in the game.

I think if you add bows and birds the game will be more entertaining or at least a soundtrack

You should add beds and a sort of spectator mode where you cant place down items or anything but where you press a button and you will be abe to fly around sort of like a ghost. This could be used for checking out your work from all angles so you can make shure its perfect or you could use it for cinematic shots.

You should add whales to the game! Have them come around once in a while, and they risk breaching out of the water and smashing into the raft. If they smash the raft it'll take out like 3-5 foundation. You could add an item to deter whales, and you could also kill and harvest them which would take a long time. If you kill the whales you can get a ton of meat, and blubber which can be used as a new crafting item (maybe as bait for the fishing rod or something). Also if the whale carcass is left out for a while it'll attract a lot of sharks that will eventually go away.

A bed would be nice. WIth the new update of the day and night, it would be awesome if you could sleep at night and wake up in the morning.

Make the game so you can have a raft population. The people will be able to fish(verb),harvest plants,chop the tree,defend the raft and increase the population. This will make the game easier but,to balance the game you also need food,water and cloths for the people.

• Hello I think that this game is amazing but it can be even better if they add
• Being able to drive your raft around with sails, motors or whatever so then you can meet Npc's sell stuff for you or have quests
• Some sort of story
• More ways to build with maybe stone, windows, pictures or just to customize your raft
• More animals maybe a coral reef or something
• More tools/items which are complex)require steps)
• Machines
• Weather

PLEASE! Update this game for the mac version. I've been waiting too long. I can't handle it.

Please update ASAP!

first off all something that a lot have said
-beds ,that heal you and obviously change the time off day
also -different gamemods such as sandbox mode with unlimited life and items
-this is kinda like a bug ...but I think items spawn a bit fast...like I go to my nets and I see 51 items in one net(and I have chests full of items)

that's all,thanks

Could you please try to support for mac with future updates, I bought this game because it's one of the rare indie games that actually support mac systems. I only paid money for this game as I thought I would be able to play it. I would really really appreciate it if you could find the time to do this. I'm aware that you only have 1 developer doing this game, but if you can make some assurances that future updates will include mac that would be great. Otherwise I've spent money on a game I can't play. In addition, I don't want to mess with these partition things on my computer to run windows either, as Im sure I'll break something lol.

Thanks:)

My ideas are small additions, but I think we could use:

• Raft drift
• Beds
• More fish (salmon, tuna, halibut, etc.)
• multiplayer????

That last one would just be kinda fun and isn't really an hard-set suggestion.

[Edit]

• I think scrap spawns too fast for how little I use it
• I think we could use more types of veggies and fruit
• Boats???

Please, low the water loots, i can't hang all the resources. Upgrade combat mechanics (i press attack and nothing happens at the same time). Raft swing in water surface and some dirty water as a soil source. Also increase needed materials to make things (but foundation).

I would like to build a garden, like with dirt, and grass, and stuff, maybe even flowers, I would also like a way to make it so the shark can't eat everything, the shark is a threat at the start of the game, but as you go into it, he becomes more of an annoyance, so I don't really see the harm in making a mid-game way to shark proof land, so I propose adding dirt as a resorce, necceary for making tree, and regular plots, and with 100 dirt, or something, you could turn a shark proof raft piece into an island piece, you could also make a composter to turn excess thatch, wood, even food, into more dirt

PLEASE ADD A BOW AND ARROWS

MORE TREES AND FRUITS

BOAT

Since I'm at the point (and I'm sure several other people are as well) where getting a palm seed from every coconut is just becoming a waste of inventory and chest space, any chance we could eventually get an option to cook the coconuts? Greatly increase the amount of nourishment (either food, water, or both) at the cost of not getting a seed when eating it?

Maybe more Fish :P In the game is only one type of fish :)

Carp and so on

More islands

deep in water

duck [CTRL]

swim in ocean and collect for medicine something

boat

machete

Hey All

First of all, i love this game! :-) I can´t wait to see what you guys introduce us to next.

-Sorry for the long post.

It would be great if co op is available, and some natural hazards, like rain, thunderstorm would be great as well

Ooooh... I have a list. Just some things that I think would be cool to add to the game. I know somethings are probably added now, but I made this list before the 1.05 update.

1. Day & Night Cycle
- A starry night sky would look beautiful.
- Some ocean life is nocturnal.
2. Weather
- Rainstorms with and without thunder and lightning
- Hurricanes(Typhoons, Cyclones)
- Tsunamis
- Clouds
- Wind(should be random like real wind)
- Snow
* Relatively rare and happens closer to the poles, but it is possible
- Makes the player actually need to make a shelter
- Storms, Hurricanes, and Tsunamis have a chance to damage the raft, items, and the player.
- Big waves and strong winds have a chance to steal resources
- Gives those walls a use besides just being decoration
3. Temperature
- Humidity, Hot, Cold; it would make the game more realistic.
- Food(meat) spoils faster in the hot temperature.
- Humidity can cause mold to grow.
* Mold can affect the player's health.
* Mold can affect the integrity of the raft's floors and walls.
- The player would have a chance to become ill.
4. Illnesses
- Its not a real survival game until you worring about your medication
* Eating raw fish would give you food poisoning, being out in the heat to long possibility of heat stroke, etc.
- Would make the game more realisitic
- Adds an extra level of difficulty to the game
5. Medication
- Idulging in medication when you're not sick can cause you to become ill.
* Drugs like advil can thin your blood, Alleve will tear up your intestins, etc.
- Taking the wrong medication for an illness won't make it better.
- The player has a chance to become addicted to drugs or to overdose.
6. More Fish
- We're in the middle of the ocean, there are a lot of different varieties of fish.
* For reference, I recommend Finding Nemo & Finding Dory.
- We don't need to have a million different types of fish.
* Some nocturnal species would be nice for night fishing.
7. Whales & Dolphins
- Dolphins and certain whales could attack the shark(s).
* The dolphins would protect you.
* The whales that attack the shark(s) would then turn around and try to kill you if you're in the water.
- Dolphins could be playful and possibly tamed.
* Once tamed could be trained to bring you resources
- Depending on the type of whale, they could be docile or hostile
- Whales can be hunted for food and resources.
* Sperm whales have a special oil that can be used to make candles
* Blubber can be made into oil
8. More Resources/Materials
- Other Food
* different vegetables/seeds
* other fish
* whale meat
- Sand or Glass(if not craftable)
- Cloth/Fabric & Tarp
9. More Crafting Recipes(for stuff originally in game)
- Reinforced walls, foundation, pilars, & stairs
- Half-walls & Fences(For balconies)
- Roofing
- Ladders (rope ladders, wood ladders, and metal ladders)
- Bridges(rope bridges and wood bridges)
- Edge Spikes(spikes that go around the edge of your raft protecting from enemies.)
- Leather(Shark skin can be made into leather. Who knew?)
- Clothes(shoes, gloves, jackets, bookbags)
- Pillows
- Blankets
- Bow and Arrows
- Glass
- Windows
- Curtains
- knives
- Shark tooth Spears/Arrows
- Shark Cage
* For underwater building or fishing
* Enemies are able to attack the cage
- Underwater Viewing Platform/Window
* Allows you to check on the fish population so you'll know your chances of catching fish each day.
* Allows you to check what enemies or allies you'll have for the day
- Beds
- Chairs
- Table/Counters
- Water Barrel
- Drying Rack
- Salt
- Cured Fish, Smoked Fish, & Dried Fish
- Sushi & Other Food Recipes
- Cooking Pots(The kind you can make soup in)
- Fish/Crustacean Cages
- Bigger Chests
- Fish Storage Barrel/Aquarium
- Doors
- Shades/Shutters for Window Wall
- Lanterns
- Forge
- Gears
- Machinery
10. Whale Crafting Recipes
- Oil
- Lubrication
- Candles
- Soap
- Paint
- Varnish
- Whale Bone Weapons & Tools
11. Predators & Enemies
- Sharks need to be harder
* More sharks appear after so many are killed
- Squids for night enemy(Squids usually hunt at nightf)
- Whale attack!!
* Orcas will attack humans.
* If you attack whales for resources, they will attack back.
12. Nit-picks
- Multi-player/Co-op
* The more players, the higher the shark count and the tougher they are.
* Maybe less food and materials floating by
- Fix the walls so stuff doesn't go through them.
* i.e. An item is rolling for the edge of the raft that has a wall. The wall should then stop the item; the item shouldn't go through the wall.
- Fix the walls so they can be placed around other objects like pillars
- Birds that can be domesticated
* If their big enough, they could bring you stuff
* Can be an egg resource
- Diving for sunken ships would be cool as would finding islands if a story line or a plot is ever introduced to the game.
- Upgrading from a raft to an actual boat
* You'd be able to build a ship if your raft becomes big enough
(a) If the game has or gets a storyline, this could be one of the ways to win the game.
(b) Upgrading to a boat would tell the game to send bigger and tougher enemies at you.

I would defiantly love to have a FOV slider, change and increase FOV, other then the base FOV value, i really enjoy a high FOV in first person games like these

My post was lost, so again. Update Linux and Mac versions and i will donate more. Over 50 days and there is still 1.0.4.

Edit: I see it now, it is in blog - No Linux/Mac support. So I supported Windows game, which I can't play. Great work devs. Keep this information hidden, you will get more money ;-)

Some islands there and more building things but good game i love it

next update?

map

more sharks than one

new materials

some islands or rafts can you answer me when you read this.

k

How about some KEYBOARD INSTRUCTIONS. I died the first time just working out I had to press B and had to drag things to the hotbar that then re-arranged themselves whenever they wanted. I guess this "Makes It Fun" ?

Make the shark less darn annoying!

The problem is the shark is a completely silent, noiseless predator, and with an expanding base that might incorporate walls there is so way of predicting if the very floor you're standing on is being mauled by a shark. The shark doesn't feel threatening, it just irritates the player.

A suggestion would be to make a barrier of scrap and nails. This can be crafted fairly cheaply and will provide extra resistance to survive at least 1 shark attack. This can help solve the problem of the build up of scrap I seem to have too. Barriers could be attatched to the sides of foundations, and can make loud denting sounds when a shark is trying to eat it.

Just my thoughts :-)

Было бы интересно, если вы добавите взломанную версию скачать т. е. с бесконечной resersami goladom и воды и бессмертия ради удовольствия илиже добавлен режим

It would be interesting if you add a cracked version download ie with infinite resersami goladom and water and for immortality for fun ilizhe added a mode

The game is really awesome so far, kudos to you guys!

I'd love to see challenging late game content like storms, waves, pirates, anything that keeps the game a challenge.

Also islands would be nice, but you would have to leave them again for some reason haha because the game is all about the raft.

And some interesting rare loot that is different from the usual stuff, so that I'm always worried if I miss anything while I'm building. I like that tension.

Way to go, keep it up.

If transportation happens in this game, you're gonna need something to move the raft.

First of all, power.

You need to make engines (scrap + ???) and place them on the edge of your ship so that it can move.

The more things your raft has built on it, the more engines you'll need. (Maybe you can make more efficient engines?)

Then, you need something to drive it. I think a helm would fit. With rope and planks. Place it, and have enough power to move your raft, and you're off!

:3

I really like this game and if you can maybe add a new environment, boat or island?

Also the Version 1.05 for Mac. Please and thinks.

I think you can add more weapon and building.

add a version for ios!🌴

add a app for ios cuz i dont have any computer and i would looooooooove to play this game!

Tkx

Add a class system (ex: magic with rituals and spells etc., scientist with devices like turrets etc.).

Add classes such as magic with rituals, spells, demons, deals, wands, staffs etc. or scientist with turrets, bigger on the inside trchnology (like the TARDIS).

Add animals you can tame such as seals and small squids. The seals and squid would be tamed with fish. The animals would have an ability. The squid would be able to bring resources from the ocean floor the more squids you have the bigger items you can get. Squid would be able to bring small clumps of sand, scrap metal, rock, coral and other junk. Seals would be able to defend the raft and hunt tuna for you the player to eat.

Also allow the player to get palm oil from palm seeds for something.(I always have a chest full of palm seeds)

im waiting for an update and im so exited for what is coming on so please.. update it

maybe you can put a story mode or islands with loot...

and put a blueprin system or leveling system or armore for the raft...

This game should have day challenges with rewards that'll increase your ability to survive, it should be like a hard mode where you lose all your needs quickly and are forced to survive harder! Maybe a move tool that'll help you move items from one play to another.

love this game thanks for creating it!

please add controller compatibility

Add islands that you drift past but you can make an anchor to anchor your raft to on, get on land and collect resources etc. add new items on the islands like rocks etc. and new animals like boars of some sort

these were mentioned before but bows and arrows aswell as birds as something to shoot at, fire arrows that dont do much damage but scare the sharks enough to get them off in 1 shot, wooden, metal tipped, hook+rope arrows which act as a longer range version of the hook, roped arrows so you can reel in the birds you shoot down

more buildables like spiked platforms that deter sharks from that area, ad the ability to go diving and collect items off the ocean floor around islands, could salvage from wrecked ships etc. and get technology like wiring with a win condition if you make a radio

ability to reinforce platforms and pillars with metal if you want to build floors even higher but with limitation that depends on how large the base platform of the raft is, add a rudder and sails to steer your raft towards wrecks and islands and the ability to make smaller rafts so the main one can be anchored off shore and you take an exploration dingy to islands etc. this would be very useful with multiplayer, also add obstacles to avoid like rocks etc. that damage the raft a lot

and also multiplayer ^ and a difficulty system as 1 shark wont really be that threatening once you have a crossbow or something. a skill tree would be a nice addition and have to level up crafting before you can build anything too complicated, add strength which can increase inventory space and throwing distance, agility for speed and swimming, survival for better metabolism so foods last longer etc.

Once you have a few palm trees, that's really the end of the game. I suggest the final objective is to build a lookout tower (or maybe just build X floors high). Then you might see land from up there. Perhaps then an additional option would appear where you could build a row boat to escape, but not essential.

~My ideas~ :

Simple Ideas :

-Auto-save

-Way to have back your world (like you log in but your inventory is empty , this will get users use chests to retrieve their stuff)

-An small tutorial mode

-Sharks can grab your hook or fishing rod if you throw it close to him

-More animals

Advance Ideas :

-Multiplayer worlds (Private servers)

-Community help in game (other than itch.io)

-Online world submiting (people can see creations from the community , with list from biggest world to more resources)

Idea:Make the nets to be able to catch the barrels when your inventory gets full from collecting the nets

hey game devs first love the game second maybe ad the feature of that you can build one of those shark cages where divers go into when they go shark diving and an other idea would be that you could build an underwater base of scrap

My thoughts on more content.

I have played thru this game 4 times and I figure there is about 2 to 3 hours of game in its present state. Things I would like to see:

1. More predators, and make them randomly spawn. Watching one lone shark move around my raft constantly is a bit boring.
2. Other reasons why you can take damage to your raft....Possibly storms, waves, etc....
3. advanced construction: 1. upgrading raft foundations to make it more difficult for your raft to become damaged by storms, predators, etc. Upgrading weapons or creating new weapons, crossbow, speargun, etc. More furniture items and animations for using them.
4. lower the floor so there is more water and the ability to swim underwater to possibly gather from the floor of the ocean.
5. Could actually make this more of a tower defense game, with predators becoming stronger and deadlier and storms becoming more violent over time.
6. A beginning theme that explains why your on this raft to begin with, you were on a commercial liner that sank from a storm or something to that effect that could explain a lot of the debris you constantly get out of the ocean.
7. An AI or two that you fish out of the Ocean to help you with your raft and to keep you company.

I am enjoying this game so far. I happily donated even though this version is free, I think it is worth spending the money to see what this game could become, it's already enjoyable.

I would like to see:

*Saved games be playable so you can save a state before death and go back to it (or am I experiencing a bug? Right now dying kills my saved game too)

*Dehydration happens too fast. Maybe slow it down in the shade.

*Upgradable food/watwr stations- a way to create more than one tin cans worth of drinkable water at a time. Maybe a way to cook bigger recipies, fish soup, kabobs... something

*Water/food storage barrels

*Food that goes bad when not cooked/salted soon enough

*Harvesting salt from water stations too for salting food

*Feed/bribe the dang shark to bugger off

*Shark detering spikes/defences

*Different modes- easy-med-hard. Where the rate of hunger/thirst slows differently. I love the raft building, but feel frustrated at how much I have to stop and drink, I died so many times because I was enjoying the gameplay of the raft building and planning but forgot about water/food. I think having easy let the player go longer withoit drinking would allow for a more creative mode expirence. I have been playing again and the rate of thirst is actually pretty good for normal/med mode.

*Those nets could catch some fish too

*Making a chair I can't sit in is...well..it is ok for decoration but kills the emersion. Can we have usable furniture. Thatch rugs could satisfy the want to decorate much better than an unusable chair

Thank you Developers for this wonderful expirence so far, I know you have dedicated a lot if time and effort into this game and it really shows. Good job!

Add fuel for cooking stations and water purifiers. You can use thatch (3 seconds) planks (30 seconds) or rope (6 seconds). Also, make it so your raft go over oil spills. You can use tin can to fill up with oil. Also, and cauldrons as an alternative to water purifier. This will be a big cauldron, I'm thinking 1/2m x 1/2m base x 1meter height. It takes 8 tin cans to fill but cooks all at same time. Therefore, I don't have to make 8 different tin cans. Loving the game bwt!

graphics optimization is sorely needed. I am at a stage where my fps is 2 to 4.

Birds

What if after you grow a tree it starts to attract birds you can catch them with nets and store them in cages this would allow you to carvers Eggs and Feathers Or kill them for Meat and feathers. Eggs and meat can be used to eat or the meat can be used as Bait ... will return to this idea**. Feathers can be crafted with wood to make darts or with wood and metal to make arrows ( arrows and bow could be used to "hunt" birds in the sky or shoot at shark darts could be used in a blow gun for a simmaler purpose alternitively you could construct dummies and targets for fun.

The Hunt

Once your raft reaches a certain size it becomes easier to just fix damage to your raft than to fight the shark on a 3 strike basis. So to keep the fight alive the hunter could become the hunter. you can active this through trapping defences and hunting. let me break that down.

• Trapping - Like the nets that you deploy to catch the debris you could make nets that go deeper that catch fish and krill (Fish edible - Krill Bait ) you could upgrade your fishing rod with "bait" to catch bigger fish and install the rod in a trolly system on the edge of the raft to catch said Big fish.
• Defences - This is one that I think a lot of people would love as I said earlier at some point it becomes easier to fix your raft than fight the shark because of this it might be nice to be able to build defences rather than "Repair" your raft this will allow you to shift your focus to resource management. Some ideas for defences would be. Spikes, torches on the edge or reenforced walls
• Hunting - Once the thrill of being hunted by the shark has wore off it might be fun to hunt the shark you could introduce a "BaitStand" that looks like gallos that hangs over the water and you could add bait *dead bird. once bait is added and stand is set up sharks start to spawn and attack the bait. (enter Item: Harpoon) Once you land 3 skill shots with harpoon you can pull the shark along side the raft and harvest for meat. ........... Additional Idea Whales using the same system as explain above change the bait for *krill and you attract whales hunt them as explained above and harvest "Whale Oil" from the Dead Whale (alternatively you could harvest whale fat and refine it in the water purifier for whale oil

Building

There is a Huge potential for growth automation and resource management. I love the potato farm and beat farm idea and i think this could be expanded upon through larger patches and irrigation you could build a reservoir and have pipes that drip water to the crops. Also in food you could have hoppers where you put your potatoes and make vodka or introduce Sugar cane and make rum (rum might be more location accurate). Doors would be great as well as the ability to stack column with out having floors between. Fences and or walls. BEDS to sleep through the night. Hearths for athletics and to cook on. Ovens!!! these could be used for potatoes and eggs and Bread. ... Forge made from just a tun of mental. burn wood with metal to melt it down for upgraded EVERYTHING. let me expand on that for you upgraded spear ( 2 hits instead of 3 ) upgraded Harpoon (2 Hits Instead of 3) Reenforced walls and spikes for defence that do not get destroyed from repeated attacks. Bigger chests. Solid walls ( not thatched ). reenforced pillars ( 5x5 support instead for 3x3 ).

UPGRADED HAMMER ( I will refer back to the tech tree later ) with UPGRADED HAMMER you can build more adoptions into your raft such as a self purifying water station this puts a hole in the floor of your raft and rejects light down onto the water with a shiny peace of metal the water gets heated and condensates like before but instead of going into a cup like before can fill a (previously mentioned) reservoir. than used for crops or consumption. you could be able to craft components for a saw mill and a saw ( saw to cut down whole trees that take up a whole spot in your inventory and then you put said logs in the mill that processed for thatch and wood as well as pulp ). New tools (Chisel) for making decorations like statues of you and the shark. and a dredge for getting clay ( dredge could be a wood troff with metal weights on rope that you lower down into water and after a minute pull back up full of sand and clay). The clay than can be fired in the oven to make planters and large water jugs as well as Bricks and ordainments. Sand could be fired for Glass for building a green house and windows. (green house could be used to process bird poop for rare seeds that grow into banana trees and mango trees as well as flowers for the planters you made from clay). all nominating in the final frontier of scuba exploration through the construction of either a crude sub or a breathing apprentice.

Tech Tree

I do NOT think a tech tree is the right fit for this game but rather a graduated crafting system where building one thing inherently lets you build another as I have explain above finally building a forge allowing you to build a upgraded hammer then allowing you to build a whole new set of items this could double of not triple game Play time.

Will multiplayer be implemented later into the game? Also i believe this game should be worth $5-10 when you plan to sell it to the public.

Perhaps in the future when the game gets a bit more advanced you could add a gravity system to the raft, where if you build a couple of trees on the edge of the raft it could capsize.and if you continuously add more and more weight in the center without having the size to support it, the raft would start to sink. and in addition perhaps more refined resources and advanced structures could be added and more advanced stations to produce and refine the resources, perhaps a mulcher to turn excess biological matter (rotting food, fish meat, fruit, plant parts, etc) into fertilizer to keep growing more plants so that you have to put more effort into farming than just "build pot, click seeds on it, profit"

and with the idea of refined resources, perhaps cotton could be added and a weaving station to turn it into cloth which could be used to construct ballasts to hold up your raft and provide more buoyancy letting you put more things on your raft. defenses to protect your raft and advanced structures from additional threats. a soil fertility system where certain plants need certain fertility levels to survive. and each plant harvested removes fertility.

More enemies and disasters, perhaps even include mythical sea monsters in the future. such as fish people that invade your raft. pirate raids, a disaster where temporarily there will be a big pack of sharks around your raft, about 25 - 30 that will leave after a few days but if a higher difficulty is picked there is a chance some of them would stay behind permanently until killed. Typhoons and hurricanes that toss things about, rip your raft apart, and if set to a higher difficulty. even pull the player off the raft and into the ocean.

More weapons and reinforcement options to deal with these disasters. perhaps a way to harvest sulfur and nitre from rotting meat, and charcoal from fires in order to forge archaic gunpowder weaponry that must be unequipped before entering the water or else it will be ruined and can't be used for several days straight for the water to dry. crossbows and metal reinforcement options that increase weight and armor. and ways to armor yourself

A food spoilage system that doesn't just ruin your food and is actually required to get certain items and equipment. and ways to preserve food for storage such as salting, smoking. and turning it into pemmican (essentially balls of smoked dried meat, melted fat, and sometimes dried fruit).

Rare shipwrecks that can float by your raft that you can get important equipment and items from.. and an expensive way to tie them to your raft so you can thoroughly harvest everything they have to offer. such as irreplaceable mechanical items and equipment like dive suits. proper guns that get permanently ruined in water oxygen tanks, harpoons and harpoon guns. possibly wiring and diesel engines as a way to generate power for your raft that are very heavy and get ruined permanently when they get flooded because the raft sunk, or because they were not given proper shelter during a storm and where ruined that way. saw, blow torches, and advanced tools that are required to properly disassemble diesel engines in order to use the parts to repair other ones and hook up wiring throughout your raft. plastics that you can use to storm proof rooms. and when you are finally done with the boat you have tied to your raft. harvest all the delicious metal with a saw or torch. or else it must be let go.

Threats and traps that make shipwrecks chancey encounters rather than floating resource piles. (something had to take away the people) such as mermen (fish people) that have lain a nest on them. rat and carnivorous crab infestations. that can either overpower you and ruin your life on the raft and devour every scrap of food on board. the crew of the vessel that ran out of food, went insane, and turned cannibalistic. exposed wiring and jagged shards of metal that can hurt and kill you that you must either wait to run out of power, cut away, or find a way around to capture the valuable fuel that is powering the wiring.

And last, but not least. Quality of life improvements, plenty of bug fixes, better AI, and even possibly graphical improvements.

please make stuff you collect go into the inventory not imidietly into the hotkey bar maybe add a lure to a shark(fish meat and planks to make) toa ttract the shark so you can kill him

If you implement a food rotting system maybe think about a compost barrel that way there is a need for compost put in pots for planting. It can be a required item to build said plots. I love the plots but it would explain where the dirt comes from in game.

Either that or add compost to dirt and yeild twice as much food.

Maybe a sort of "story" where to receive periodic letters in bottles from the ocean? they could arrive in random order and would have to be collected and pieced together to figure the whole story?

this would be a big thing but maybe a way to dive deeper into the ocean? you would have to worry about the shark but could also get cool things like stone from the sea bed or go spear hunting for wild fish in reefs?

Hello, I am Kolby from the FellowGamersStudios.

I saw this game and realized the immense potential in a matter of minutes of playing the game. It provided a task, antagonist, and an almost 100% sandbox realm to enjoy. I recently added some suggestions, one of which was added. (Yeah, it was chests. How in the world did you guess?) Anyways, I would like to give some heads up on the development progress and some personal things that would be fun to see in the game.

1: Improved sky.

Your sky is amazing, it gives a feeling of comfort as you battle a shark and a feeling of wonder and bewilderment as you watch the moon pass over. However, the reflection of the moon and sun when either rises can be easily made better. Currently, it is only showing where the light originates, which is from one point. How you could make it better is have the full-scale moon and sun reflect across the water. Not only that, but your sunrays are very nice looking, but if you look through a slit in, say, a wall or stair, it produces unwanted rays that tend to make it look a little overbearing. To fix this you could make the rays disappear as they enter a certain linear point towards the camera.

2: Full graphical optimization/customization.

One more thing you could do is increase the amount of changeable items in the options GUI. Such things may include: SunRays. Water Quality (already existing), Shadow quality, RayTracing. Those are just some.

3: Explorative arena.

As the game goes on, you get to a point where you have made the biggest raft, defeated the shark many times, and have virtually an infinite amount of resources. Afterwards, you make a new save file and start over again. It would be wise to make a sort of end-goal, or somewhere that you see when you start the game, but must work your way towards. Possibly an inhabited island.

These are just 3 suggestions, and they are all simply gameplay and graphical-wise. Personally, I love the game, and have so many ideas on how you could develop it. But I'm not the developer! Can't wait to see what comes next!

Sincerely,

Kolby Spring, FellowGamersStudios.

The best idea will be to optimize the game(set,play) so that we can play even if we possess a bad configuration pc (roughly that we possess a pc badly configured to play in video games)
