I want to suggest more stuff to build like a Stone wall or something to be possible more tools and possibly guns? and island hopping :D
An Oceanic Survival Game · By
Thanks guys I'm a survival game addict and having fun so far. You are on to something here, even in it's current basic state Raft is addictive. You'll make a killing on Steam, should you decide to continue developing Raft as the quality of your game already exceeds some of what is on offer there.
Suggestions: (trying to keep the current state of development of the game in mind)
Potatoes and trees are overly easy to grow - maybe add a watering system (boiled water) to the growth cycle and seriously increase the amount of time it takes food and trees to grow. Different kinds of veg/fruit, as already mentioned, would be grand. Fruit at sea you ask? Well we already have potatoes :D
The hook and fishing rod becomes obsolete very quickly. Once you have potato plots, killed a few sharks, and have built your raft to catch all debris these items are of little use. Suggesting sharks drop less meat, (thereby keeping the fishing rod in play) and shark skin, placoid scales is a source of rawhide leather, which opens a world of opportunities for additional item crafting.
Eventually (I know this is asking a lot) - Day/night cycle as well as rain. Night time and rain decreasing visibility. The cooking station has a pretty nice base, maybe this can be modified into a permanent fireplace of some sort, utilizing wood as fuel to provide a light source on your raft during night time. Fireplace can be upgraded with a shark skin canopy to still be useful while raining. Rain can directly provide water for your plots/trees.
Fleshing out health management by introducing seaweed as a resource? (trying to keep to the lost at sea theme). Traditional Chinese medicine uses hot water extracts of seaweed in cancer and goiter treatment, not too much of a stretch I think for us to use as a source of medicine. Food/water alone should not be enough to recover from a shark bite.
The durability of tools to decrease slowly. Because scrap is easy to come by and quickly enough you start throwing it away.
Horizontal stairs, check. The amount of space needed to built the (very pretty) stairs currently is a bit much to use often. That brings me to another point. The very nice crafting mechanic in Raft begs the player to built something nice and fancy (read big). Whether horizontal or vertical. The shark mechanic of attacking in random areas forces the opposite. If you build too big, (or high) you often risk losing pieces of raft before even reaching the shark.
Two things come to mind. 1 - Shark bait. Using several fish and rope (and a coconut for buoyancy?), tying shark bait in the sea to the raft/dropping it near the raft, to attract the shark attacks to a certain area, with a limited lifetime. 2 - Some kind of repairable fortification that can withstand more than one shark attack, or requires a longer attack before being destroyed. High resource cost (lots of scrap) to limit how many you can build in a given time, thereby not entirely negating the danger of shark attacks. Other restrictions can be imposed on fortified tiles by not being able to fish over, use the hook or fill up your tin can in that area. Already I've found surrounding my raft with cheap to make nets on all sides greatly reduces the danger of sharks destroying tiles with important structures, especially pillars. Regularly rebuilding nets because I was busy on the 2nd floor and could not reach the shark in time becomes a chore after a while.
make it have little bit story like fall from ship or something like that
And also ad some mechanic
Example: u can make computer chip wrench Etc
And you also can make radio and something else to comicate to people
also item that can detect your coordinate so people can help like helicopter
I have another idea too like a Day time they use shark but at night the shark sleep
so u can explore under water too find some item
Example:seaweed ,soil (for tree i mean where the soil comefrom if not from under water),rocks,coral,Etc)
Hello my name is Lucas why you can not make it so with the metal the same things as from wood building that would be really cool because thus you do not have to constantly repair as the wood so needs the hai longer to break it, And it would be nice a few torches and a bed reinstall and the the box has more space and you can make a better spear tinker and thus also chase fish and a wurfspeer so that the hai can be harm from further away that would be My ideas for a patch because I find it so cool but also somehow boring ;) LG ALBILP
-For added difficulty, you should start off a game with nothing! I mean you could swim and get the items to craft a hook
-Maybe tool durability
-More kinds of crops! (carrot, corn, or whatever)
-When you drop an item, it doesnt look like a barrel but maybe something
-Small islands maybe?
-birds? maybe for decoration or maybe use it for something
-shark must have lot of damage. i mean irl a shark wont kill ya in maybe more than 10 bites lol
my suggestion is add this game to steam
this game I say is worth around 10$-15$ and there will be some benefits such as
more views
the developers will get more money so they can work more on it which will get them to make more updates
you can easily add multiplayer if its connected to steam like its not that hard.
Also you can see feedback better and there's a better developer page and it's just a whole lot bette
NO I AM AGAINST THAT please dont do that some people cant use money on games they are not allowed to and etc. and they cant play good games like this I dont think that will be fair to make the game priced it could be pay what you want and on steam greenlight but it should be free at all times because think about the people that likes this game but are not allowed to use money on things so dont be selfish yossi123 think about other people
well first sir the developers need money to develop the game it's only 10 bucks your the one being selfish here man it's 2017 most kids are allowed and anyways you think it will not be priced just cuz of 5 year olds who's parents don't allow them to buy that game from steam? Putting raft on steam is really good it will advertise raft more and also it will be easier to add multiplayer there. And sir it's not my problems that your too poor to afford a couple of buck
very good idea on putting it on steam greenlight but just so you know they need more money than that they want to work on it full time and btw when your saying most kids are not allowed that is not true. A lot of kids now days are allowed games online because buying games Online and not just games but shopping online has become a daily life for most people so I'm pretty sure on your birthday or something when a kid asks his mom or dad if they can buy them a game for 10$-20$ I don't really see any reason for them to say no it's just like buying them a game irl just instead of irl it's on the internet like a video game
Ideas
Weapons - Bow has multiple purposes one to shoot the shark in tight spaces where the spear is unable to reach.Also if a rope is attached to the bow then you can shoot fish in the ocean.
- Fire bomb can be used to throw at the shark to hurt it, and if on kill cooks the shark meat on kill.Also can be used to throw into the ocean killing the fish also cooking them while they appear to the surface. Side effect if to close to wood can be set on fire :/
-Dummy Shark attacks the dummy which gives time for the player to attack the shark.
I think you should add story into the game,the reason why you are stranded out in the middle of the ocean,for example you were on a ship and you crashed,which leades me to another idea which is going underwater and finding more resources that you cant find on surface ( sea weed,sand,rocks,left-overs of the ship),which makes me think that if you are underwater,you can find the ship and go into it and find even MORE resources that are not available to find on surface,which i dont know what,but you could also find barrels,scrap and all..and i hope that the dev wont add any guns or any technology that we have today,like i hope it will be based around older times..
That's all of my ideas,i really enjoy the game,and i rate it 7/10,if it will have all these features i mentioned in this comment,this game will be legendary.
Love from Slovenia <3
Ideas / suggestions
Hello, today I would like to contribute a few ideas for your game, because I find it pretty cool (although still in development): Example: When using the oven to cook and cooking water must be used fuels such as wood; from the sea with a variety of fish and more resources; Athens has some weather ... and I hope I am not too much to ask, would you please make my ideaHello, today I would like to contribute a few ideas for your game, because I find it pretty cool (although still in development): Example: When using the oven to cook and cooking water must be used fuels such as wood; from the sea with a variety of fish and more resources; Athens has some weather ... and I hope I am not too much to ask, would you please make my idea
P.S: Sorry if my English was bad.
Hello, I love this game.
Here are some ideas:
- arrow and bow, or guns that can be built to get other ships. (Maybe in the multiplayer other ships entern or Bots, of which one then loot gets)
- Medicine
- Multicolor for example: walls to paint.
- Get more stuff from barrels.
THINGS TO BUILD:
- Stone walls (The stones can be found on the sea floor) - (The hai can not destroy the stone walls).
- beds (made of palm leaves and wood)
- Build a motor to drive with the raft. (For example, oil, metal, screws that can be built from the metal).
- Build a pipe of wood which goes to the bottom of the sea to take oil from the earth.
- From oil and metal one can then also build a lighter. With the lighter you have to turn on the grill.
- Larger cooking stations (For example: 2-3 potatoes at the same time to grilling).
DECORATION:
- Lamps
- tables
- Bank
- It can be night.
PS: I come from Germanand the text was translated with Google translated
Hello,
İ think it would be this game multiplayer.
It would be nice to play with Teamspeak or skype.
Need to be improved:
-Difficulty
-Night
-Natural disasters
-Armored blok (metal) for shark
-Powered shark or 3-4piece shark (or difficulty)
-In the other direction incoming items.
Sorry, i have a bad english. These are my suggestions, Good Games :)
you should add shark traps for example (2x spears + 5x rope =shark trap)
beds, day/night cycle, torch to scare away shark, more kinds of food, multiplayer server so that you can travel to other peoples rafts with a boat for example,
you should also add a story where you for example have to travel to other rafts/islands in search of a flare gun, when you get the flare gun you can shoot it, but then 5 or 8 sharks attack very often until you get rescued maybe 1 day later.
i know im being very specific but its just a suggestion.
Hello!
My idea is change the game style: The raft now seems stay in one place and the waves coming toward the raft.
What is my idea the raft moveing in a linear way and sometime reach an islan where the player can hook the land to anchor the raft and gether what he can from the island.
Maybe lower the loot what now the players can get and this way the island"raid" is could more important.
Secound idea finding other floating rafts and "raid tham"
I know its not easy to code maybe in time.
Kep up the good work for this awesome game. :)
I suggest to make the game kinda online so me and my friends could play this game together . And if you add this online mode you could make that people could pick how much people are playing in a surtant server. And you can include:
1.individual rafts for people
2.more supplies in the ocean/sea
3.different kinds of fish not only makrell
4.designs of characters
I played it for 4 hours straight and it seems pretty decent.I didn't get bored once so that's a huge plus.The game is so simple and amazing...but I noticed that the more you play the less barrels and planks you get so you could fix that.You should also add other animals like crabs (food),more fishes,diffrent sharks (sharks have diffrent abilities,so if you have a tiger shark they will only attack you while youre in water and only a hammerhead can destroy buildings),cows (milk , food),sheep (for bed , decoration).Also add plants like wheat (bread) and grass (decoration).You could add new constructions like bed (for passing time ,faster growth of plants but has a chance of 2 shark attacks because you sped up time),fences (so cows and sheeps can't escape),doors (decoration),reinforced foundation/floor (Double more health than normal foundations or floors).Also when you place a pillar on a floor/foundation they are taken and you can't put walls on that spot.
That's all for now :) Maybe I'll find bugs or maybe I'll think of another suggestion.Thanks for this game I've been playing it for 4 hours straight and after this post I'll probably play another 3 hours.
Keeping making this game great it has alot of potential.
here's a few ideas:
A new tree type for more strong/ durable weapons/foundations/items
More fishes+ fish tank?
rare ball you can find that says WILSON in blood (castaway reference, add this plz)
bait for better fish? EX no bait= mackerel and rare bait = bass?
a system where some items are more uncommon than others
BEDS PLZ
day night cycle
AND NOW FOR PEEVS:
You can barley see the leafs while floating it water (forgot name)
The shark teleports to the fogline once he dies
items fly above the fogline in distance
items floating towards you dont blend w/ fog
Otherwise a great and creative game! cant wait for more updates!
NOTE: All of these ideas are not mine. About 60% is what i collected from reading tons of ideas on the "Suggestions forum". I've only made this thread for people to see all the ideas that are currently talked about and to have everything in one big thread which makes it much cleaner.
GAME PRICE SUGGESTION: 15 - 20$ When it's finished ( i suggest uploading the game on steam for more people to find ). But it shouldn't be less than 8$.
INTRO: Maybe like ARK, you wake up looking at the sky, you get up and look around you and the only thing you see is a small raft and a shark.

1. Recently added stuff:
2. Recently edited stuff:
15-20$ could be a price when the game is finished with tons of features. It shouldn't be less than 8$ because then its to cheap, and to put a game up on steam for 100$ then also to upgrade the game engine and servers would cost a lot of money, so they need to earn a bit.
After I checked for more ideas I saw that some people posted some of the ideas I came up with myself before I did, so technically they posted the idea first but I was writing it down before they posted it. In addition, I went more in detail about certain ideas which most of people didn't do, from what I've seen. For example, Underwater adventure, character stats, EXP system, game settings and environment.
New biomes would be great for this game. Maybe add in temperature some time later on as well.
Location ideas:
Some in-game options would be fantastic. Like, I can never actually hear the shark? I would think a shark angrily gnawing on a wooden structure while flailing around in the water would make a lot more noise :P So different sliders for game sounds, like ambient, music, player, creature, etc.
The ability to shift-click items between your inventory and the chests would be nice.
Please add a hitpoint display to the nets like the foundations have. Also, I feel like one plank should repair more than it does, considering that right now, it makes more sense to just build another one rather than repair.
I agree with a day/night cycle, that would be sweet. Weather too! Think about storms, blazing heat, etc.
More variety of fish you can catch, just adds some flavour (ha) to the game. Also, a greater variety of trees and crops. I'd love to see some citrus trees, like orange trees... or maybe lime trees, to play off the old 'limey' nickname. Some purely decorative plants would be nice too, maybe some tropical flowers. You could have a plant pot for them that looks like it's made out of half of the mini barrels that you see when you throw out an item.
And oh goodness, yes, furniture. Beds/hammocks, chairs and tables at the least. Maybe benches. Also, a need for sleep/rest. Doors? Thatch roofs?
Nets for fishing fish, maybe a system that means you actually have to have a balanced diet, or else you get sick?
More uses for scrap metal! I find myself throwing out a ton of scrap metal because I just don't have anything I can use it for. Maybe an ability to upgrade your wooden structures to be clad in scrap metal for extra durability against shark attacks.
An ability to throw the spear? I think this would make more sense than adding a bow and arrows, since, where are you going to get the feathers unless you add seagulls or other ocean birds.
Scenery stuff- like the occasional whale breaching the surface now and then. :) Rare pods of dolphins swimming by and jumping out of the water and playing. They could temporarily scare away the sharks.
Enemies- You could have crabs coming up onto your raft and pinching your toes, haha. Of course they'd be eatable once you stab them with your spear. Other foes too, like an ultra rare megaladon, an angry squid, etc.
I'm not sure how I feel about the island idea? I guess how you could do it, is have very small little islands go by rarely. You'd have to either hop off your raft if you're close enough, or risk the sharks if you have to swim a bit. There could be some rare resources laying on the island for you to pick up, probably mostly botanical. Then you have to race back to your raft and hop back on, again braving the sharks, before your raft gets too far away. Could add some excitement into the game.
Anyway, I just want to add that the development team is doing an amazing job, and I wanted to thank you all for such a great game. It has so much promise for a prototype! Keep up the great work!
I think you should add something more exciting like islands where you can get supplies, also add so that you can steer the raft somehow. I know the game is early in development but it has potential, just make it a bit more exciting in some ways. Also add glass for windows, more kinds of fish you can get, make it possible to put walls on walls, make walls able to support floor, add roofs, add rain or other different types of weather, make waves, fix so that the shark goes under the raft, not through the foundation, make it harder to survive basically. Love the game this far but it definitely has room for improvement
your basiclly saying what MOST people are saying which is to make the game more like stranded deep but its not. That said i would also like some small island and glass but i think this would be a better idea... just like Hawaii, makes small underwater volcanoes that u can take sand from the island and use a metal lava station cooker thing to smelt it. just an idea tho. :)
how about : 1. more fish variety with different effect ( poison, make more hungry/thirsty , the fish have different percentage for the hunger)
2. more crafting recipe/ingredient
3. add some more room to the storage
4. add different weapon for killing the shark
5. add more enemy ( more than 1 shark, another killer animal like eagle, seagull, and orca )
6. how about some way to going in to the water
7. maybe a little island ?
i am in love with this game. It is so fun.I plan to do a video on it borrow.(not big youtuber) But for ideas add flowers,fish,more area around the stables,able to destroy the cooking area and the water cooker,add more plants,make muiltplayer.if this was for sale I would pay 20 to 30.if it had more things in the game.
Hello developer .... I have got an idea which I saw thousands of people talking about ,They suggest that why you don't make a phone version start with Android then IOS it will really be the best idea I personally loved the idea and I just wanted to suggest it here please do it because it's so awesome !
and thanks ...

and thanks ...
Try adding elevators, I know I like to build up and I'm sure others have too and it takes a long time to get to the top.. make the spear able to be thrown so if your to far away from the shark you still have a chance.. have an option where there is no shark because after a wile the shark just becomes a nuisance, or have shark herds lol, you could also try train the shark by feeding it fish every so often so it didn't attack.. you could also try adding small walls so that the coconuts didn't roll off.. and those are all I got for now, I would really like to see an elevator though cause I'm 24 stories on one build right now and still rising lol.
greetings, this game is really nice and i have problems to stop playing it but i have a tiny suggestion, the most ideas i had are already listet here and i do not want to see all the 700+ pages but i would like to have a short cut where you are able to choose the amount you want to store ore take out of the chests oh and maybe something like getting better in building so you can build larger chests as you evolve by building alot.
Thank you
I think it would be cool if there were multiple kinds of sharks, not sure if suggested before but some are stronger/more agressive according to how they are in the real world ocean
from what i've looked up in the last couple minutes this is the "top 5 most agressive/dangerous to human" sharks:
I think it would be cool if each of them had different traits and strengths so if you got for say a great white which is the supposed strongest it would break your raft faster so you have to act with a sense of urgency and would add some immersion to the game.
I would like that you bring something that you can interact with the ocean. Maybe go diving ( but shark still attack you ) with a harpoon or something. Maybe a sail which drifts you in other oceans.. maybe with ice peaks. Or that you find a lonely island ( just a small island 3x3m ) and you can swim to the island but with a timer so that you can only be 1 minute on the island.
i would like aswell some stuff to build a house.
And some "technical stuff" when you are in the Sun = water goes faster down. when youre in the shaddow it goes slower down :D
BUT AWESOME GAME DONT GIVE UP :D
A thought about food and water.
You could have both hunger and thirst diminish at a set rate, but for thirst that rate could increase while you're in the sun, reverting to a lower rate when you're in shade. Likewise hunger could increase while you're using tools, before returning to the base rate.
This would allow you to introduce a reason for the player to build shelter from the start, without making it overly difficult in the early game.
(my bad english) I think, that it's very cool game! I have many ideas. I think you need to add a decoration hammer, which will put various furniture. I want many objects to build. Day and night cycles, new trees and plants, resources and items for survival. I think, now the game is could cost $ 4-5.
One suggestion is to either increase the sharks health some more or reduce the shark meat drops as i have found that i dont run out of it before i get more.
As some others have suggested add defences against sharks.
Increase the shark attacks by about a third of the current time.
Add a temperature system where you have to keep your body temp at the right level.
To go with the previous suggestion add clothing to aid the temp system.
Different types of sharks.
I love the progress of the game so far keep up the bloody good work. :)
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, You have a lot already, but I want you to listen to the next following things:
Relocation of Items (water purifier/cooking statin, etc)
You should make it smoother -- Don't ge me wrong the game is AMAZING and I believe it has a lto of potential, just it is laggy on some PCs
Make it harder (eventually) - - You should be able to add other things like 2 sharks, or less items etc (EVENTUALLY) don't make it impossible to play
Have some tips...like I had to try a lot of things to understand how to make a second floor and why we could make pillars....and I have to admit, pillars are very important
Add hit bars -- (on shark and on your foundations because sometimes you think you will get there in time but you don't
Add informations --- (have a brief description of what each thing does)
Multiplayer option - Self explainatory
Throwable objects - Already explained
Some of them have already been said, but are great ideas
I honestly think this is one of the games with a lot of potentiall that I have seen. This is a very created game that presses you to watch out of your surroundings. It is a mix of creative and survival. I believe that this game is great as it is, but you could make it even better. The fact that the game is free is bezarre! I really appreciate people like you who make these types of games and I am honestly grateful that you take your time to listen to suggestions. Best of luck!
One of my favorite Youtubers played it and he likes it too, but all this is my opinions. Thanks
Here is my suggestion,
Here's a demo video with most of the things I listed below :)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lYnblP4jxI
1 # Pirates, when creating the pirate flag altomatically starts a count, when finishing the count the pirates attack your raft, then you must prepare the maximum to receive the attack and survive.
2 # Solar energy and oil, these 2 can serve to supply defenses weapons or boats, "remote control boats that watch over pirates."
3 # Water Bench, where you put 10 cans to refill and refill with empty cans.
4 # Increase the number of items you can hold from 10 to 15.
5 # System of cold rain and heat.
6 # Night and day system.
7 # Sleep.
8 # Fishing more difficult, water more time to be ready.
9 # Other types of shark, differentiated by size and color, more dangerous and more damage to buildings.
10 # Walls serve as a foundation.
11 # Shark wires.
I feel like this game would be fun with maybe some eventual multiplayer.
Some weather, temperatures, and day/night cycles would be great. A way to become to hot or freeze because it's too cold. Maybe a bed so you could sleep.
Some way to make the game more difficult, because after a little bit of playing it, you've got everything you need and you're basically living in a mansion.
Maybe some more wildlife perhaps? A fishing net? Maybe even a way to dive down into the ocean and do something. Perhaps ... a way that you could even be rescued if you build a signal or something in time, like a way to beat the game type thing.
And I feel like the biggest thing this game NEEDS, is more resolution. I can barely see anything on the resolution I have to play it on.
Add something among the lines of a research station used to discover more advanced items such as reinforced steel foundations and upgraded versions of existing items.
Add a shark attacking sound effect and make shark attacks far more frequent to balance game.
Multiplayer would obviously be awesome but I would expect a feature like that to at least be in the far, far future.
Some type of ship wreck that spawns rarely where you can discover new "modern" recipes to craft using the research station to firstly find the recipe that you use to craft it.
It would be cool if on the main menu the raft in the background was your actual raft on which ever saved game you are selecting.
A quick transfer button which innstantly moves items from hot bar to inventory and vice versa as well as from chest to inventory and vice versa would be awesome.
A day night and weather system.
Also please nerf the fishing and potato growing systems because getting food right now is far too easy as well as make tools wear down needing you to build new ones.
I think you could really extend playtime by increasing the amount of wood needed for foundations to increase the value for raft pieces and change the way items spawn so there are random clusters of items and periods of time when there wont be any items drifting in (although it would be best to have the first wave of items set so there are not many bad starts). With this it may also be better to increase the yields from barrels along with adding the materials you can get from taking the barrel itself apart.
- Sharks do not increase in difficulty as they respawn and do not attack as often as it feels like they should. Maybe multiple sharks after certain amounts of time
- I've seen a lot of food addition suggestions but at the moment food is actually outbalanced with water. Your thirst decreases much faster than hunger and not to mention that shark meat can last you a long time because each piece fills 50% of it
I have many ideas, and I want to put them in a format that isn't overwhelmingly difficult to understand. BEFORE YOU READ: Please note that these are all suggestions from me as a fan, and that these aren't things I think should be done anytime soon! Everything stated in this post are long term goals, and aren't specifically described.
Tiers- Think of it like any ranking systems. For example, minecraft. You rank up your materials. Maybe it could be, in this game, that you combine wood to get "Tough wood", then combine that to get "Tougher wood". These upgraded supplies would hold up to the sharks loads better.
Or an alternate to this, as you play levels. I don't have loads of experience in unity, but I dont think a level system would be too terribly difficult to incorporate. This would mean, as you play you get xp for doing certain things, gathering materials, fishing, attackings sharks, building, etc. As you rank up higher tier loot starts to float in. You would also gain access to different crafting recipes. However ranking up would also makes things more difficult. More sharks spawn perhaps every 10 lvls, and they get stronger as well.
Food- I know this game is pre-alpha, so nothing is final but I have some suggestions for food. Fishing honestly shouldn't be as easy as it is in Raft, I'm sorry I have no suggestions how to fix this though. Food should also be available in more quantity, IE, different types of food and different ways to obtain it. For example spear fishing. In my opinion, there should be "water jugs", in which you could get 3 water cups worth of water in 3 different left clicks. Also, I was thinking you should spawn in with a bit of water and bread. This kind of makes sense due to the fact that you had to have something with you before you were lost at sea.
Enemies- short and simple, more sharks per lvls, and different types of them. Maybe a boss that appears every once in a while.
Inventory- The gui system as it is now, works however, it is not smooth. Some simple adjustments the inventory managment fontrols could solve this extremely easily. Ex. Shift clicking, right clicking to take 1 item of a stack, perhaps even change the stack limit to 25. One last thing to the gui, chests seem to not have a very high capacity, I see why this was done though.
Miscellaneous- Polish GFX, Polish Sounds, Polish launcher menu, Polish Shaders. Add third person views, add an "Options" tab in the menu and ESC menu to change sensitivity, graphics settings, and other random things.
Firstly I think there should be a more detailed graphics setting screen. I notice that with lower graphics there is a lesser draw distance and more fog and that's about it. I'd also like to see a way to upgrade buildings so that the shark has more trouble destroying them. If not that, I'd like a way to keep the shark away or preventing it from biting (I was thinking spikes or something) or maybe something we can kill to from a distance a distance with (a bow and arrow or a harpoon, or perhaps a low quality gun). Other than that gameplay is ok. Maybe some more craftables. Also settings for audio would be nice, and perhaps add some ambient music
Things I think that should be added:
I've been playing survival games for a long time now, and i good thing to add would be days, day 1 day 2 ect... another thing to add would be storms, maybe a craftable boat or something with what you could move your house. another thing would be a net to fish faster, maybe you could put two sharks after day 10 and 3 sharks after day 20
Hey you should add more items like a Door , fish trap , Weather like rain , Storm , Fog , Add Some Waves , Bed , Night Time ( im bored if its always day time you know ) , Shark Trap ( sometimes i dont know when the sharks destroyed my Foundation ) , Some Wood Interior like Table , Chairs and other things , oh yea dont forget about Torch if there is a night time , i still have bunch of idea but i think you need to add these first.. :)
Hello! The people who speak English, excuse my bad English, since I am using the little English that I have the most translator haha.
To what was going wachines ...
My ideas are as follows.
It would be nice to add the theme to reduce the graphics, I count with a pc gamer but with a video card of 1gb not dedicated, and the truth that in good me goes to 20fps and a level higher is wrong, but I know That if you could improve the topic of I can choose if there are shadows etc would greatly improve the subject.
Another thing, I say short, is to raise the difficulty to play, play it 1 hour and finish it.
Also it would be good, the crafteo of some RAFT to be able to move, but that is easier to sink by the shark. That there was a kind of trap for the shark, whether to put a fish and catch it to be able to give a few blows would be good. Skewers would be great too. A backpack, to be able to carry more things, would be very good.
Changing a little crafteos theme. Something important, it would be the theme of the cycle day and night, it would be good if a type of items appear at day and at night others better but that you thirst faster, hunger faster and there are 2 sharks for example. Let there be crafteos of candles, etc.
(OPTIONAL) Online mode. I put it as an option because most of us know that if they add online mode, the game will happen to be paid, and the truth is that for now it is not, at least until they reach a beta. But if it is possible to add online mode and without making the payment game, would be 10 points more.
And finally, it would be good to add more than 1 animal like the shark, add swordfish for example. And also that one can go down to the water to catch sharks, or that under the water there is sand which we need for glasses for example, that there are things underwater would be a great point ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Al español _______________________________________________________________________________ Hola! La gente que habla ingles, disculpen mi mal ingles, ya que estoy usando el poco ingles que tengo más el traductor jaja.
A lo que iba wachines...
Mi ideas son las siguientes.
Estaria bueno que agreguen el tema de poder reducir los graficos,yo cuento con una pc gamer pero con una placa de video de 1gb no dedicada, y la verdad que en good me va a 20fps y un nivel más arriba va mal, pero yo se que si se pudiera mejorar el tema de yo poder elegir si hay sombras etc mejoraria mucho el tema.
Otra cosa, que lo digo corto, es lo de subirle la dificultad al juego, lo jugue 1 hora y ya lo termine.
Tambien estaria bueno, el crafteo de alguna RAFT para poder moverse, pero que sea más facil de hundir por el tiburon. Que hubiera una especie de trampa para el tiburon, ya sea la de poner un pescado y atraparlo para poder darle unos cuantos golpes estarian buenos. Pinchos tambien estarian muy bien. Una mochila, para poder llevar más cosas, estaria muy bueno.
Cambiando un poco de tema de los crafteos. Algo importante, seria el tema del ciclo día y noche, estaria bueno que de día aparezcan un tipo de items y a la noche otros mejores pero que te de sed más rapido, hambre más rapido y que haya 2 tiburones por ejemplo. Que haya crafteos de velas, etc
(OPCIONAL) Modo online. Lo pongo como opciónal porque la mayoria sabemos que si le agregan modo online, el juego va a pasar a ser de pago, y la verdad el chiste es que por ahora no lo sea, al menos hasta que lleguen a una beta. Pero si es posible agregarle modo online y sin hacer el juego de pago, serian 10 puntos más.
Y por ultimo, estaria bueno el tema de agregar más de 1 animal como el tiburon, agregar pez espada por ejemplo. Y tambien que uno pueda bajar al agua a pescar tiburones, o que bajo el agua haya arena la cual necesitemos para vidrios por ejemplo, que haya cosas bajo el agua seria un gran punto
Add a difficulty system, so some name ideas (really easy) walk on water, no shark (easy) floater, one shark (normal) swimmer, two sharks (hard) lead weight, three sharks (extreme) shark bait, four to seven sharks. And kinda a creative system to which you have all the supplies to build your raft and can choose how many sharks, and this sounds a lot like Minecraft but you can tweak it any way you want.
First off, what a great game! It has so much potential. There are a couple of things that my wife and I have thought of while trying your game out. A
- Weather system with rain, lightning, waves that can damage your raft/ways to fortify foundation to counteract it
- Water purification system that has a hose in the sea leading to a tank or possibly barrel to hold it
- Upgrades to equipment: water can, canteen, camel back. spear, harpoon, gun.
- Character level progression/ gains experience for building items and equipment, killing the shark, ect.../ The higher the levels the longer you can last without eating or drinking, faster swimming, longer fatigue time..
- Furniture!
- New item ideas: Gunpowder, wooden rod, saw, flint
- Possible story idea: You have a certain amount of time to survive before getting rescued or reaching an island. The longer you last the harder it will be with the weather getting harder or more sharks or the shark having more attack damage.
That's all I got for now! Hope it helps!
I think they should add a type of currency where you could buy items if a ship comes past which could also be added in the game.
I also think that you should add workers to the game, so with the currency you could buy a fisher which fishes for you or a farmer who harvests and plants seeds for you or even a water or food worker which automatically sorts out your water purifier and food cooker. On the home screen when you select your raft it would show your raft instead of the standard one.
Please make these choices possible!
Hello, i've been playing this game for a while and i am still "scared" that that pesky shark would literally eat my "raft" if you can call something this big a raft... and i have an idea for somethiing to prevent the shark destroying the raft. For example reinforcements which to craft you will need a few pieces of scrap or an idea of spikes or a metal spikey net which need a rope and also a few pieces of scrap to craft. thanks for reading and i hope that one of my ideas would be added to the game.
I hope you having a great day ! :D
Thanks. ;-)
