I vote for having multiplayer to make RAFT great again!

(+1)(-1)

Devs have already that multiplayer is not planned for the foreseeable future. Its in the FAQ.

DANGG i vote too

Why? It would just be Rust on the water. Would completely defeat the purpose of the minimalist survival game. You're stranded at sea. Do you expect to come across hundreds of other people stranded at sea who also happen to be building rafts? Thank God the developer isn't giving in to you people whining for multiplayer.

I think that a 2 player "Multiplayer" would be more acceptable for this type of game, rather than visiting and raiding other rafts. A 2 player experience would be entertaining while not going over-the-top with other players.

get is kinda laggy! also a good idea would be if you added more levels or materials! for example it would be nice if you could upgrade the wooden fountation into an iron one(so you will be protected from shark) ..same goes for others building materials! You can also add some islands! and maybe add nets that can captivate the shark

please can you set it on steam greenlight ?

I think you should add a bigger plot to plant potatoes and i think it would be cooler if you put more plants and things.

I don't suppose you could make the equipped items stay there permanently? Some time I'll be filling up tins, and then it will just leave my quick equip tab, so I have to go back into the menu and equip it. It's a small thing, but it would be a good and helpful fix.

By the way, I really love this game and can't wait to see more of it in the future.

(+2)

You should add some Music to make it more peaceful, and also make the players choose which music they want in settings. i recommend adding more items that require scrap. and making the map infinite because some youtubers managed to get to the edge of the map.

Maybe there would be gentle ambiance music when the player is just surviving, but things get more intense if the shark is coming? And if music is added, there should be an option to turn it off. I'd hope the music in the game would be copyright-free and/or royalty-free, because not too many games do that, and it makes live streaming and video recording a pain.

As for the scrap, it seems that the newly-added chests require quite a bit of scrap. So that's useful. Other suggestions have been things like harpoons.

(+2)

Progression: The further you sail, the better / newer items you start to unlock.

Sails: More sails equals faster sailing (err.. or drifting). Don't have to necessary move the raft. Just an internal distance counter.

Storms: Clouds building on the horizon then you hit a storm. Huge waves would be legit (although maybe too complicated to simulate) but just heavy rain, wind, and parts of the raft having a chance to break off would be great. Might mess with your distance as well.

Left Field: Ice-burgs.

Keep up the good work!

(1 edit) (+1)

We all know that scrap isn't the most used resource in the game,so heres my idea:
SPIKES!
Spikes would allow your raft to stay safe from the shark in a 1 block radius around the spike,and spikes could be placed on walls,making a cool looking epic viking-like raft with deadly spikes covered in blood.This could be used for afk item/potato farming (which in this game you should encourage as the entire game depends on gaining these resources).These spikes could be made from scrap.We also need a renewable way of farming scrap,which could be...eh...i dunno you'll think of it.

-Have a good one.

whys the shark eating your wood raft any way? also for farming metal mabe abandoned boats you can scrap ? i mean all the parts that float passed must be coming from some were right? ..... just ignore there floating its very heavy water thats why you can make a 2x99999999x2 raft and it doesn't sink. finally found out why :D also gun parts from abandoned boats? and uncraftable tools?i know i spelt thta wrong idk how to fix it though Xb

I think birds would be great, they could come with diseases such as salmonella if you eat a raw egg or get nauseous and sick if you eat raw fish, potatoes, birds and even The Shark.

(+2)

Hello I want to contribute some ideas to the game, because it is a very good game and has much potential,

1) put more fruits and vegetables to not stagnate in coconuts,

and potatoes, and achieve a craft of tropical salads by the style of the game

INCLUDE FRUITS: pineapples, Mango, ORANGES, TANGERINES and BANANAS.

2) Add glass the rubble to beautify the boat, and make containers of beverages.

(3) ISLANDS: the Islands would be useful as have the opportunity of shelter is of the heat,

and collect fruits, besides load is of wood and because not add maps to the kill to a shark

4) maps: to the kill animals carnivorous or scavenging by them Islands find maps for find chests

that us den things unique, that things? that I leave to you.

CRISTIAN RAYO

Thank YOU

I definitely agree with more fruits and vegetables. Oranges could be needed to prevent scurvy. Food recipes sounds great.

good idea

(+2)

Сделайте что-бы с акулы выпадала кожа :) sorry for my Russian

(+1)

I used Google Translate to see what you said, and it translated to: "Do something to fall out with shark skin"

I agree, shark skin would be very useful. It could be used to make water-resistant bags as well as clothing (boots or swimming fins would be good). I'd suggest adding a drying rack as well (to dry out the shark skin into a leather so it's easier to work with).

great idea

(+1)

Survival mechanics and features I'd like to see:

  • Temperature/exposure - incentive to build shelters
    • Weather would be a nice addition
    • Clothing to increase exposure resistance
    • Day/night cycle with different base temperatures at different times of the 24-hour cycle
  • Items to increase inventory size (backpacks, etc)
  • Diving (with or without a skill tree or items that allow deeper dives)

to shallow just put on goggles... drop somthing off the edge and see what i mean

(+2)

It could be cool if the floating items came from different sides.

It could also be cool if there was a way to upgrade foundations to make them more resistant to sharks, but at the same time add more sharks, stronger sharks and so on to make it harder.

I love the game and hope to see more updates :)

(-1)

There should also be a day counter, and night sessions, so you can keep track of how long you are, and progressivly it should get harder.

maybe a multiplayer option

Ths game has great potential but needs some updates first. these are my suggestions.

Different types of trees and plants that give other foods

furniture which can be created e.g. bed to sleep in

traps that can catch fish and the shark

different modes easy, medium and hard

easy is one shark

medium is three sharks

hard is 5 shark

day/night cycle

different weapons which have higher damage

scrap metal creates armour which give extra health

options and control settings

blueprint mode which people can install other peoples rafts

add a posibility to do a server like in minecraft something little ! i love your game ! and add more things to do with metal

idk if multiplayer might be good in this game but if you like the idea I would appreciate it.

(1 edit) (+3)

Need a background music. be it relaxing, panic, pump up kind of music. Just because some of us a game bloggers who are mute. it's a good thing that u can get some loop musics on..

Multiplayer? and, different game modes hardcore(one life) Normal (goes back to resent save) and, different Types of worlds (Snow hard, Ice hard, Sunny easy, stormy medium), more stuff to build, bigger dimensions for foundations and floors, different highs for pullers. and more tools

Stormy should be hard because a storm would destroy your raft

true true

| bouts will be good | Iron stuff will be good | shark traps will be AWESOME! | Diff sharks | DO NOT PUT blueprints in Game | fish nets will be good | cheats will be AWESOME! | more building will be Nice | add a ice age | Faster sprint (Shift) | building angle will be nice | ADD IRON Floor,Walls, @ for most of building things | Add Big'er/Better nets also make them look better | Add Armor | add diff Trees and things like dat |

and also plzz add this stuff will be AWESOME! ps i LOVE this game

(+2)(-1)

I think that there should be enemies like pirates or whales and you can raid pirates ships and they could try to raid you. Flintlocks, Cannons etc. should be added to give an extra use for scrap and add gunpowder. There should be beds and the sleep requirement as well as heat and dealing with your raft getting caught on fire. There should be doors to protect you from enemies such as pirates and nails should be added so you can choose between rope or nails for your buildings. You should be able to reinforce your foundations and walls with scrap so that the shark cannot break it so easily. Here is a list of animals and enemies and foods that should be added:

More fish types just to add more variety into the game (Cod, Salmon, Tuna etc.)

More plants (Corn, maize, wheat, sugar cane etc.) for making different foods using a new object.

Foods you can make: Tortillas, popcorn, Bread, sugar etc.

Food Recipes: Tortilla + any meat or fish = Taco, Water + Sugar + Any fruit = Juice, Flour (Wheat, corn or maize) + sugar + Coconut milk + eggs = Cake etc. Be creative with foods as I think there is an entire range of food items that should be able to be crafted

Whales (Little bigger than a killer whale) That are rare but can destroy large chunks of your raft (Should only spawn after < 1 hour of playing) They should produce whale meat which should be a little more nutritious than shark meat.

Pirates. They come in a pirate ship and are armed with flintlocks. Their ship has cannons and can shoot your raft which will destroy whatever it hits. They have cutlasses and will board your raft and attack you. When you destroy their ship it drops loot (planks rope nails barrels scrap food etc.) and it all floats along for you to catch. Pirates can also loot any chests not behind closed doors but the cannons can shoot down the door

Birds. Birds can steal your food and create nests on your trees. You can harvest these eggs to either get more birds for food or for eating. You should be able to boil the egg in a tin can full of water over the cooking station.

Salt. Salt should be obtained by putting salt water in the cooking station instead of the water purifier. It should be used to make food more filling but take away from thirst

Finally the weird one. You should have the option to pee in a cup and drink it immediately if you are about to die and your water is still cooking. You should receive debufs for this like walking slower because you are feeling sick and you may have to vomit into the sea which will contaminate any water got from it for 5 mins.

Thanks for reading and I will come up with more ideas at a later date.

(1 edit) (+1)

I do realize this game is very early in development, so it may take some time for my ideas to be implemented into the game if they are found useful or interesting by the developers. I believe Raft should have a day and night cycle, a temperature aspect, beds, fire pits(warms the character and cooks food), more sharks, more weapons and metal bases. When it gets dark outside (night) the temperature could plummet and this would leave the character only two options, to light fire or to go inside of a walled-off room. To skip to day the character could sleep in his bed. Later in the game when the player has had time to make a base, more sharks will approach and attack the ship at once. The later on in the game, the more sharks. The next step is for the player to make metal foundations, wall, etc.. These foundations will not be easy to make and would require some farming. However, they would stand a good defense again the numerous sharks that will attack. To help defend furthermore the character would use his more advanced weapons like suppose a harpoon.

Thank you to the developers if they put some of my ideas into the game.

I've been wondering about a harpoon. It seems like a great idea. Perhaps it'd require a bit more metal scrap than a spear (or perhaps you spend a spear to craft it). The only thing I'd suggest is that hitting the shark with the harpoon might be dangerous. What if you had a chance to be yanked off the raft? On the other hand, it would deal even more damage to the shark than a spear would. Just swim back to safety before the shark comes back for revenge.

(+3)

I see lots of suggestions about day/night cycles (which I know are tough to create), and I see a few suggestions of beds. To add to both of those, I'd suggest two types of beds to start with: a hammock and a palm frond sleeping mat. More options could be added for types of beds later on.

Certain beds would cost more but help the player recover more health (in the event of injury from the shark), players can only sleep if their injuries are severe or the sun is setting. Players also must have decent hunger/thirst levels before sleeping, as sleeping will make these go down. If a player is injured to the point they must sleep, they will wake back up when too hungry or too thirsty.

While sleeping, the shark might destroy 1-2 foundation tiles. (As per the difficulty level suggestions, this could be increased with an increase in difficulty.)

(+2)

Actually, the day/night cycles could be incredibly simple, assuming they are using the right game engine. But yes, I LOVE your bed idea. There also must be something special about the night time to make the player WANT to sleep, besides simply health.

(+1)

True, the night has to have something bad about it.

As for the game engine, this game utilizes Unity (as it states in the opening credits). I have UE4 installed, so I could try to figure out how to add a day/night cycle with that as an experiment, but as far as I know, most programs have confusing or complex ways to implement such cycles. I've never used Unity, though, so I'm not too familiar with its capabilities.

"There also must be something special about the night time to make the player WANT to sleep, besides simply health."

Maybe an Energy meter aside from Hunger and Thirst meters. Eating and drinking can bring it up slightly, but that can be a waste if you're full already, so you'll have to sleep eventually.

Add more ways to die

I think it will be nice if u can add online in game, 2-4 player

Would be nice, but that's incredibly difficult to do, especially for indie developers. It has been announced that multiplayer is not planned for the foreseeable future. That means that if there will be multiplayer, it's going to be quite a while.

PLS ADD MULTIPLAYER

This has been already stated multiple times but multiplayer is not planned for the foreseeable future. It is stated in the FAQ of the game.

(+1)

People don't realize how difficult multiplayer actually is to implement for a game. Game developers can't just snap their fingers and have an update, changes, and additions to a game.

Create some weapon or knife what is most better than spirow and create change of the day and night... so you can create a: bad,2 sharks (because game like this is so easy dude),...

Can there be a sandbox mode? I want to build a huge base but I'm very impatient. Also, how about a backpack to store more things on the go? The chest might work, but it's stationed.

(+1)

Day and night cycle? Would be spooky at night to randomly hear the shark attacking.

Regenate the life of the person.

PD: I like more you game

(+2)

First of the game is cool and I like a developer that is doing something about his game.Pasing these thing here I what I would like to see:

• the previous save to be compatible with the newest version of the game.Cause we all know how anoying is when you have a big building and after that is disappearing.

• make a day/night cycle and in the day time if you stay too much in the sun your thirst is going down faster.In the night time to get cold and you need to stay near water purification station or cooking station when they are working or make a camp fire to stay warm otherwise you will die.

• being able to craft bed to skip the night if you don't have a campfire but your thirst and hunger will go up.

•defense from shark to damage and make him run but only one time after that you need to recraft the defense item.

•shark not being able to destroy or damage your platforms if they have wall's on them or a chest or something.

•durability will be nice but to not have too less or too much durability and the hook be indestructible.

• some furniture or things to put in your base.

And now things that I wouldn't like to see in game:

•difficulty to raise as you advence because think about it,you have a big platform 20/20 you wouldn't be able to protect the base from 3 or 4 sharks at the same time cause you see now in the game you made yourself a home and it's hard to protect even from 1 shark.

• bow and arrow would not be the best idea, if you put bird's and shoot them how would you need able to get them if they fall in water cause the shark will kill you.

•the raft to go underwater when you are building too much on it.If you think about in real life if the raft is bigger can sustain more weight just like throwing a rock and a plank in water.

I think is enough for the next 2 update. Hope it helped and sorry if I write it wrong couse English is not my primary language.

I suggest you add the ability to pick up structures after you place them. Thanks!

you can mayby add a day and night cycle, would be very cool

(+1)

First of all, the game is really fun to play and i'm sure it will become a really great game. It needs a long-term objective, but i'm sure you know that.

I didn't see anyone mention this: fixing a foundation can cost more wood than letting the shark destroy it and building a new one. I couldn't come up with a solution for that, but I think repairing should be more beneficial, than building a new one.

I don't know if I misunderstood your post but you can repair if you could get to the foundation before it's destroyed and you fight off the shark. Just hold right click on the hammer and choose repair.

(+1)

I haven't investigated in-game, but I think he means that currently repairing a foundation costs more than making a new one...

(+1)

yes, that's what I meant. if the foundation's health is, for example, 15, you'll need severall wood planks to return it back to 100, when building a new one only costs 2 wood planks and a rope


Please make so that in the next update we don t lose our progress , PLEASE

He did.... it's already done.

I think adding an option where you can change the controls would be amazing as i prefer arrow keys and then having to press E while rotating mouse gets a bit tricky.

There should be a "creative mode" were you can build anything with out having to use anything. Also it would be cool if you can chose to have the shark spawn in your would or not, and some other things to build with the hammer/craft, like a ladder, a bigger chest, maybe glass, a fire place to smelt stuff and give heat to the player, better foundation (Like a metal foundation/floor). And one last thing, durability to the tools. (And with better/upgraded tools).

(+2)

Thease are some ideas:

-Day/Night Cycle

-Furnitures

-Clothes

-Weather

- a Story

-More Items

-Better Shadows

-a Pet

Add Healing tools like medkits or something that can heal you.

(+1)

Maybe add difficulties or different types of sharks? (Tiger, Great White, Hammerhead) Maybe that appear the longer you play that become more aggressive?

(+1)

UMM? Am I the only one that thinks about the human stranded?

WE NEED BEDS! CLOTHES! MAYBE A FRIEND? (DOG, BIRD, ETC.) DAY/NIGHT CYCLE! CUTE STUFF, LIKE RUBBER DUCKIES, DECORATIONS THAT COME EVERY HOUR OR SO, SO THEY ARE A BIT RARE. A PHONE? XDD BATTERIES CAN COME FROM RARE BARRELS, MAYBE A POSSIBLE ISLAND? ANOTHER HUMAN IN AN ISLAND? MORE HARDER TO GET FOOD, (POTATOES ARE TOO EASY TO GET) THOSE ARE MINE :P

(+1)

Adding different sea creatures like dolphins and whales would be nice whereby one could be friendly but the other can either be friendly or enemy AI. For example if you fish too much you become a threat so the dolphins/whales attack and the one that's always friendly can be fed and after a while turns into a mount for a certain period of time.

Ocean sounds would be a nice addition, the game is kind of quiet,

As ideas...

-Add more types of food (like carrots, radishes..) but more difficult to obtain. (Cotton for make cloths also)

-A day and night cycle, what means to add a bed

-More types of fish, ones friendly, other agressive

-Food degradation. The food can rot after a while

-Temperature system

-Diseases, by drinking dirty water, by eating food in poor condition (food degradation), sunstroke during the day, hypothermia at night (add bonfires, which will play an important role here to maintain the temperature)

-Shark Algorithm: When killing the main shark, increase the number of sharks that spawn at the same time, progressively, or make the sharks harder to kill. In Hard mode, at the beggining would appear 2 sharks. (or something like that)

-Improve the wood floors walls etc with metal, making them more resistant to attacks

-Weather system, rain to collect for drinking, thunderstorms + rough seas (which can break the ends of the base), etc (That includes natural disasters like hurricanes, Tsunamis...

-Add more items and weapons! Fishnets, Bows for hunting, etc

-Defend the base with spikes, torches to keep sharks away

-Fall Damage

-You need blueprints to make complicate buildings/Items

-Cloths and armor, with leather and metal

-More buildings

-Smeltery for making better weapons or improve your actual ones

-Floats that must be placed while you expand the base (or the base will sink, but thats a hardcore idea)

-Goose barnacles glued to the base which you can take off and cook for eat (Why not?)

-Maybe... brocken ships near the base with loot

I dont have more ideas right now.. If I think anything else, I'll comment it below! (PD Sorry if you dont understand something i dont speak a lot of english)

Some of these are more advanced, but I stuck to what I knew was doable without any massive amounts of money invested, such as multiplayer.

1. Raft/Canoe... may be used to travel around the sea a bit more, and reach loot in the ocean.

1. Buoys... Some stationary buoy's located around the ocean, that you may sail to using the raft. Some more advanced loot may be placed there for looting.

3. Until some ideas for further implementation of the world border come up, I think having a world loop (if you go over the side on one side, it puts you on the side adjacent to it (opposite side)) may be interesting

4. Snorkel... pretty self explanatory, you may make a snorkel (basic) out of wood and thatch or something, and then simply be on the surface of the water, or a snorkel (advanced) to go down deeper.

5. Ocean caves or ravines, accessible using the snorkel. May contain a dungeon or something maybe?

6. Advanced materials, such as clay, sand, etc. For example, you may use sand to make glass.

7. Windowed wall tiles, so that the wall has a window on it. My apologies if this is already implemented by the time that I write this.

IIt would be really nice if possible to add a tool that could remove a foundation,floor,stairs etc... (everything that u built), and let the game be more competitive like, adding NPC trough out the game with their own base and we could raid them,killing them and stealing their stuff, and adding more combat gear to fight NPC´s like bow and arrow

you use the axe it can destroy anything you put down.

(+1)

I think this would be a very neat way to be able to get scarp metal. You know how you get materials floating from you and you start thinking of ways that you are getting them. I was thinking of enabling a sunken ship that has been giving you supplies. You should be able to go to the ship and mine away either with a hatch or a pickax and mine away at the ship and every hit or so you get one scrap metal just like how every hit or so you hit a tree you get wood planks or thatch. Just thought it would be something interesting

(+1)

different types of metals

I think there should be a logistics system, which would include hoppers, chutes, logistics chests( those could interact with the logistics system by accepting items( from chutes) and ejecting items( into hoppers)), channels, and possibly sorting macines. there should also be new items, like gears, sheet metal, and bolts. I also think you should set up a poll to see what ideas the community supports.

+1 for the public polls for upcoming features

(2 edits)

I would suggest adding a feature when you mine floor/walls/nets/etc... with an axe, you actually get the item back. This might be a good feature because sometimes when i place something wrong i have to chop it and then make another one of that item and that means i have to lose more reasources, That would be really helpfull. The other thing is more graphics options. I dont have a good computer which means i have to run a 600x400 resolution. It is really hard for me to play so adding more options would really mean something to the gamers out there. And maybe if you have some time add like some more fish. Right now theres only 1 fish type and thats kind of boring... but its something. You can also add like an automatic machine that picks up planks/scrap/leaves automatticly for you.

Sincerely

you should remove the corners from tree lots, and this would let you put pillars in giant squares of trees, allowing you to build massive skyscrapers of tree farms.

This is a completely out-of-the-box idea (because hardly anyone else will use it), but I would enjoy a return-to-center cursor mechanic in the game. As of right now, you have a completely different cursor mechanic, so it's impossible to play this game with a graphics tablet right now. It would have very little impact on the gameplay of other non-tablet players, so it shouldn't bother too many people. The only potential problems I can see would be with controller support, though you could try implementing something to detect the presence of a controller and switch to a more controller-friendly cursor mechanic.

The only reason I suggest this is because I'm more accustomed to playing FPS games with a graphics tablet (sounds weird, I know). If I could play this with a tablet, it would be more comfortable for me. (If you don't know what I mean by 'graphics tablet' try searching for 'Wacom Tablet' or 'Huion Tablet' to see what I mean.)

You Should add signs so you can organize storage or label buildings or something like that

(1 edit)

great idea (OCD)

Love the game

Maybe you could add some exploration into the game for example someone said underwater play this could be use to kill fish/creatures/bosses who could give you loot (a range of different attack methods e.g. spear guns) and to loot places e.g. abandoned ships, (using driving gear which could be different quality that could last longer underwater).

Make a menu with options like options low high medium ultra very high and add gamemode : creative survival and console and commands on the 1.05 update

Add a menu with options like low high very high medium ultra and add gamemode creative survival and console with commands in the update 1.05

Make a menu with options like low medium ultra very high high and add gamemode creative survival and console with commands on the update 1.05

I have a couple of ideas. Being able to destroy the food cooker and water purifier would be nice. Also maybe some way to craft a backpack. Ooo, and if your going to add more items to craft, then you should maybe redo the crafting menu.

Add a full custom Character(Male, Female), New sounds, More place-able Items (Mirror, Compass, Torches, Bowl, Bed, etc.), and Day/Night cycle.

(1 edit)

Make something like speargun and make bed :D

(1 edit) (+1)

Start with lighter and limited fuel to start fire (or nothing on higher difficulty) and once that runs out, you'll need some other method of making fire to cook and distill water with.

edit: and I know animation is low on the priority list at this point, but I'd like to see more violent shark attacks on the player, thrashing, biting, dragging you underwater, and give the shark the ability to grab you from the edge of the raft and pull you off.

Could you please add weapons? Sniper , etc pls For the shark

When was the last time you saw a sniper rifle floating in the ocean?

(1 edit) (+1)

I need Co-op pls it will so good

(+1)

Fish Traps and Spikes so the shark will get hurt when eating my stuff. A pistol would be a great addition with ammo craftable with metal scrap. Maybe a metal refinery would be good so we could make metal ingots and sheets to craft a gun. A bow craftable from wood and rope, arrows of leaf+wood+metal could give you 3 arrows. Just some ideas that would fit into the game. Thank you!

(+1)

Add gamemode creative

Add bow&gun

(+1)

Currently, I've spent about 3 or 4 hours on this game. I've found out that having a day/night cycle would be amazing. When/If the day/night cycle is implemented, torches would be a given. We'll need oil found beneath the waves of the ocean to craft the torches. Along with cloth made from either, Thatch or a type of hide found on an island or in the barrels. Up-gradable hammer and axe to make better floors walls and traps to set to kill the shark. More resources, like iron, steel, pearl, rock, coral. Found under the ocean as well. Glass for a scuba mask can be caught with a fishing rod or a scoop you create the same as the hook.

(+1)

Of what i gather is that your supposed to live on the raft and not go "swimming". So i think the day and night cycle is a great idea but oil could be harvested from coconuts instead of finding it.

ewww

(+1)

If you add a suggestion will you delete the thread? @Raft Developer

Add Multiplayer Option And Complete Character

(+1)

Would LOVE if you could add bigger things like an bigger cooking station or bigger cropplot.

Also multiplayer maybe? :D

yes a bigger crop plot would be great... all the potatos

(+4)

Ok, i just played for a few hours and basicly i won, cuz there is nothing more to do. I suggest making it a larger area for the shark and debris. Also add a bed, ornaments, and base defences. Also would be fun for like bad weather, and even hurricanes to mess everything up. In that case maybe make some new walls that are super strong to withstand the hurricanes that take alot of materials and time to make. It would make it more indeapth if you could make night time too, and add a fireplace. Maybe add clothes to stay warm in certain weather:make it or even armor out of shark skin. :) ok im sure i can come up with a bunch of more stuff but thats a start :)

Just realized MikhailKegan and my suggestions are similar.

love the idea of natural disasters

(+2)

I'd like to suggest a sort of "peaceful" mode (sorry, Minecraft was the first thing that came to mind trying to explain this :P)

A mode where there's no shark and you can just create stuff without the worry of a shark gobbling it all up. I got so scared when I was just trying to make essentials and hadn't built anything and the shark came and ate a quarter of the raft ;-;

when will we have it on steam?, i think this game has a lot of potential, it should be on it with a fixed price.

Metal raft parts that have additional hp against the shark

Please add something like wooden spikes you can place on foundations to scare the shark

(1 edit) (+3)

Maybe have two different physic properties to the raft that goes with previously stated difficulty ratings. On the lower two difficulties have the static version of the raft, but on the higher difficulties have a raft that need some sort of floating device that would be used to cancel out heavy sides.

Example: Put literally everything on the left side of the raft, the raft becomes heavy on the left, and starts to sink in, depending on what the player does the raft's left side could... I don't know snap off? or maybe it causes some sort of game over (player falls into water and cannot get back on the sinking raft, which then has the player become shark food?)

Charatcer customization would be cool to see as well.

Just brainstorming. Anyway loving the way the game is coming along. Keep up the work!

Great ideas! Do check me out on YT at PassionOnFire for more Raft content!

I looked through 10 pages and could not find your channel, but if you provide a link i'll support you.

This is one of the videos i have on my channel, hope you enjoy:

I've checked the video out and for my reveiw you can check it out on your channel.

thank you

Hey, the game is very nice but I think we can make it better by perhaps adding night, it means you have to sleep in a bed. Mabie night could be cold, so you have to build a fire. adding falling damage as well would be a very good Idea, you know, things to make the game more interesting and a little bit harder in some way.

I think that its more of a building game, and night would make it hard to see for youtube viewers

i'd like a nice looking fitting door to my small basic walls and wall windows i just made, a good door

or more options like more walls more window walls more trees to have different types of colors to the wood

more things to build ofcourse, before all this i want to tell you im addicted to the game i will give 9.5\10

reallly good job, better than minecraft haha

You know what we need on raft. much more tools and items. And something else. The item nets are OP so it would be cool if u can only take items from the nets like 10 times then it breaks and u have to repair it with wood. Not that u have to make another item net just to repair it after using it too much.

You should add little islands here and there and some other kinds of fish and maybe tresure in the bottom of the sea

Please no islands. The mystery and challenge that makes the game unique is the raft and having to make due with what you have and build. Adding islands to it would just turn it into Stranded Deep.

if this game ever got a price please let us who are from the beggining playing keep playing free

I love all of the ideas, but I think that this game is more of a simple collect resources and build game, so I think that a day night cycle shouldnt be added because it would just make things hard to see especialy for youtube viewers.

the day night cycle must stay it add so much to the game making it more imersive

(-2)

You should add a Casette Player to the game, that would be fun, but with free music (no copyright). And a chance of 1% drop in the barells.

starting to sound like the forest dude :/

(-1)

Developers,please add an motor for raft,to explore the world and add islands for more fun and adventure!

please please please make multiplayer... it could be so much fun for a survival game for more than 1 player.... another thing when you stand in the sun u can see the shadow of yourself.... but the shadow show that i have only 2 hands not body... a little funny thing

The devs have already stated this multiple times that multiplayer is not planned for the foreseeable future.

Loving your game! Well done!


I have a idea which maybe will be in future as its a bit complicated. Im guessing you are working on underwater already? Anyways if you ever get to that it would be awesome to swim down deep in the ocean and spear fish while collecting items. I had an idea for a item you could find. So you could add large/medium sized clam shells which you could use to build a rain collector. Maybe you need a plank and a shell and then you mount it to your boat and if/when it rains you can collect water from it! Also another idea would be to add weather. And also add fishing nets which you cast in the water and wait a while then after you get 2 to 5 fish if you're lucky.

(1 edit)

The ability to steer the raft, and have small islands for players to explore would be great

(+3)(-1)

Hello, please add:

- The Meaning of the game .Dont just to survive,And to survive for some time or swim away

- Time and weather

-varieties Sharks, fish, vegetables, trees

-The Bed, that is, the need for sleep

-multiplayer

-bow

-Speeding, Running

-clothing

- temperature

Sorry for my english, simply because the other country.Good game !!!

Multiplayer is not planned for the foreseeable future.

Go check out the Raft Multiplayer mod. It is already done.

(+2)

There are lots of ideas so let's get started and let me in the comments what do you think or add more.LOVE THIS GAME !

SPECIAL : Weekly updates like "The Forest"

1. Add waves and make the raft "float",move up and down with the water. Also why not Rogue Waves for a developed version where your Raft can be damaged.

2. Add NPCs : more sharks, bigger sharks, whales, trading posts on islands, birds, shipwrecked humans that you help.

3. A story when you start the game to tell you how on earth you got there ? Without any endings or such.

4. Achievements for building, acquiring, killing,etc...

5. Clothes made of shark skin (later updates maybe of gold that you gather from islands)

6. Add day/night cycle, rain, thunderstorm places where you leave the raft (they said the raft will me mobile:D) and gather very rare materials protected by Ancient Pigs with Golden Swords and then show off at others. Also whirlpools that you should avoid.

7. Climate and seasons when more materials come or they don't at all.

8. Furniture : bed, blinds, curtains, torch lamp...

(+1)

ye when u kill a shark u get 5% chance to get one of 5 pieces to get his full shark clothes so when u go explore underwater u cant be detected by the shark

and ye ancient items that u can find underwater would be great ,but I guess that's not for the next update they're working on the basics

Of course not for the very next update but it's good to suggest

"Ancient Pigs with Golden Swords"

"Golden clothes"

I left Minecraft for a reason, I don't want this game to go that way too.
Sorry if you get butthurt from this, just wanted to point something out.

Chest capacity increase or allow for bigger stacks when items are in chest, also having shift + mouse click to transfer stacks between inventories with ctrl + mouse click to split\transfer half stacks etc.

Slopped\Triangular\Ramp pieces for building

Random current changes, so you have resources arrive from different places

Trees take longer to grow for added challenge. Different types of trees that yield more of certain resource type

(+2)

The game, so far, is amazing and I can see so much potential for it.

The main problem I have found is limited resources. So, what you could do is this:

- Add Tarp scrap to debris (With this you might be able to add a Rain Collector using tarp, planks and a tin can)
- Add day/night cycle, perhaps combined with the previously implemented dynamic lighting.
- A weather cycle. Rain storms could hit the raft and maybe damage parts, as well as pushing you off into the sharks' grips.
- Debris from destroying buildings. Countless times I have been placing foundations and walls and forgetting to rotate or place the pieces, thus annoying me when I do not get, perhaps, rope or thatch or planks back.
- I know this has been said previously, but possibly expand the opportunities for food and water.
- CROUCHING. I don't even know why I want this in the game... But I feel like it has to be said.
- Sprinting, however I will say that maybe if you are below a quarter full on either food or water (or both). Countless minutes have been spent walking slowly to the other side of my mansion to find that half my building gets wiped out by Jerry (my pet shark I will never kill because of my lack of being able to sprint to him


Thanks for reading,

- Toby <3

My IMPORTANT suggestions for Raft:

- Add Birds in game, to fly on the sky. Killing these Birds to drop 1 meat morsel (ex. calling: Pelican meat, or

something like that)

- Make possibility to craft a Bow with Arrows - Crafting 2 or 3 Arrows: (optional)1 Metal + 1 Plank (because the Plank and Metal are too big to craft only one Arrow)

- Crafting Bow: 1 Rope + 1 Plank

- Job: Hunting the Birds (ex. Pelicans)

- When you catch one Barrel, to get the stuff inside, BUT to remain in inventory this Barrel empty and to can put Barrel on, like one Chest. You can fill it with what you want. And.. Oh yeah, and to don't be stacked because this is NO REALISTIC.

(+1)

Add the following news please:

-can reinforce structures with metal

-Most types of food and trees

-A system of automatic water collection.

-Button to crouch

-New sounds for the shark

- Shark defense system

-Cycle of day and night

-Camping to move overnight

-Harpoon

-furnace (more than 1 food in it)

-More spaces in the inventory

-can dive

-to be able to hit the shark with the axe

a story to the game ? :3 (not a story that can stop u from playing I mean some eastereggs that have meanings)

also islands sounds like a great idea

(4 edits) (+2)

Hopefully the Developers reads all the Comments in this Thread. (Well, not all but, you know.)

First off, Day and Night Cycle really Important. Sure that you guys are working on this but, I'll just leave It here.

- a Way to Reinforce the Foundations, E.g Foundation ---> Reinforced Foundation ---> Metal Reinforced Foundation etc.

- Difficulty Options, with Increasing Sharks the Harder the Difficulty is Set.

- Breaking/Health Animations for Certain Objects If not, all. *Important* Since you wouldn't know when the Foundations are being Gnawed at and rendering the Repair Useless. Trees as well. (The Forest)

-Probably make the Foundation more Larger?

-Animations for the water! like, you know, Wavy! the Raft needs to be Wavy since It's floating on Water.

-Variety of Sharks? Megalodon :D

-Weather!

-Islands? Subnautica?

-Wreckage of Ships that you can loot on! and maybe find a Diving Suit or a Rebreather!

-Upgrade the Graphics? or is it Change the Engine? not sure but It'll be nice If you guys could really bring out the life on the Water since It's 90% Water (Unless you played for 2-4 Hours) anyways. Seeing Subnautica's Waters is really good.

-Temperature! when night, the Cold strikes. You'll need to stay Warm or else you'll die out of Hyperthermia and too much heat as well. Vice versa.

-Realistic Weights so that when you don't upgrade your foundation when you put certain Objects like the Tree farm? (Forgot the name) It won't Sink.

*Edit - and a Backpack as well. a Craftable one and one that you can find somewhere.

-Variety of food. (Though the Coconuts are enough to last your entire life killing Thousands of Sharks).

-Spoilage of Food and more Crafting!

*Eh, forgot one thing.. the Harpoon! where you'll find It on some Ship Wrecked Yatch along the way.

*I Forgot one again, SPIKES! or TRAPS for the DAMN Sharks to Gnaw into! they'll get stuck into It and have time to go the Shark and kill It! though If you are late, they'll get away and be More Aggressive Afterwards. Just to add a Few Seconds before they escape again.

*Sorry, Last one. Crafting! Bows, with a Variety of Arrows that you can Craft, a Reinforced one and a Metal Reinforced one. and on How long you have drawn the Bow, the More damage It deals. It's good for have the Shark stop gnawing the Foundation. best for when the Shark is Trap you can the one shot It. also good for hunting down Birds and Collect their Feathers. *Note* Feathers and Sticks are needed in order to Craft the Arrows. Planks = 4-6 Sticks and Feathers sometimes Drop on the Sky or when you hit Birds that Stops by to your Raft.

-Specific Storage for Objects :D Food Storage and what not.

That's all I Could think for now. :) hopefully this won't be another Stranded Deep.

More structures that can be interacted with i.e cooking stations that can combined foods with spices etc that are grown to create food that fills more hunger? Stations to create more tools/weapons for defending raft? More equipment for fishing?

Raft upgrades? Upgrade the raft from wood to stronger materials for shark attacks.

Lights?

Day/Night cycles? implement beds to speed up cycles.

Decoration blocks to spruce up buildings created on the raft?

Hi dear developer, my idea is to add Co-op in your great game cuz if solo is this cool if you would add co-op, then your game would blow up the franchise of survival type of games!

build like small islands where u can pick some other stuff too

boat to move on water

you can kill shark to get food or skin from her (+ more sharks that are under water)

Clothes

Winter, Summer, Autumn Spring that cycle

to make metal structures (metal boat)

Make thing more realistic = food, lower its value and let it be rare, but alson let hunger gets lower

Day and night

Multiplayer would be great

Multiplayer is not planned for the foreseeable future.

(+1)

Hello ! I sincerely adore your game, which has great potential, and I apologize in advance if the ideas have already been said, or if my English is bad, I use google translation! : 3
- To start, you should add some weather. For example, storms could destroy our home.
- Why not, add islands, to find some things not found at sea.
- Add electricity to make mechanics more perfomante, after that is not the most important, in my opinion.
- Add various kinds of sharks, with different capacities, or, add other marine predators which would be much more funny!
- ADD THE MULTIPLAYER.
- In case you did not read up, add the multiplayer!
- Put the Day / Night cycle
- Add sickness states, open wounds on the shark bites you.
Thank you for taking the time to read all this!

Multiplayer is not planned for the foreseeable future.

no joke one thing i want rn because u did all the other stuff we asked for is a small island that can appear if you spend enough time playing

add online and more crafteable objects
(1 edit) (+2)(-2)

1. Multiplayer

2. Fixed a bug in the destruction of the box things disappear!

3. Add more options in crafting.

4. Add a line, the artist subjects.

5. The ability to breed sea creatures.

6. Add more animals.

7. Add a variety of weapons (bows, arrows, spear to the destruction of sharks, and so on ...)

8. PLEASE ADD THE NIGHT TIME DAY

9. Add the ability to fly around the world on his raft, but it turns out that the raft raft, just standing still.

10. Add the ability to find the boat, using №9 and loot

12. Add a combination of items, for example (3 in 1 stove bridge the large oven, the same with water)

13. Сhange the appearance of the hook!

Thanks to the developer of such an interesting game, it has a great future!

WHO agreed to these proposals PUT +)

The game would be more fun if there would be more things to build like tabels, beds and chairs. It would also be nice if there would be different seeds like carrots or tomatoes. It would also be fun if you could dive to the bottoom of the ocean to gather things like chests or so. Also, there could be different fisching rods that the player has to make to get better fish. New textures or different materials would be fun, forexample if you could add armor to your foundation so it is harder for the shark to destroy it.

Ps: Love the game, already made a huge raft with more than 15 floors. XD

hope you like some of the ideas.

(+2)

Add backpack made of shark skin or even made of wood and rope, we really need more mobile space

It will be great to make day/night, more items/crafts and add islands where you can build houses and have more options in game :D

Add Multiplayer mode and make some difficult on the game:

Peaceful-No sharks

Easy-No thirst and food

Normal-Sharks and thirst and food

Hard-Sharks on 3 minutes,faster thirst and food

This has been stated many times, multiplayer is NOT being planned for the foreseeable future.

put a multiplayer mod

Multiplayer is NOT being planned for the foreseeable future. This has been stated many times.

And it will continue to keep being asked for. People can't read.

Sadly, that's true. I'll ask the developers to sticky a FAQ topic/thread.

There's already a FAQ stickied and locked and contains the multiplayer message. Like I said, people just don't read.

Multiplayer!

I want to play with my friend :D, I like the game very much but i wanna to like it more when I can play in two :D

I mean, that I can make that adventure with him.

Hello Mr developer I would like that you unsubscribed:

-Languages (such as French)

-Boats to go from island to island - new kinds of food (such as rice)
-Play with a controllers - add at night and therefore add a bed or can be a torch to light the night or a flashlight battery - powered add storm tides that destroy a little structure.
-Have a little less life.
-Have the possibility of improved its weapons - integrate the stone as new material
-Add a Thermostat
-Add doors, flower boxes, the table or we can put our screen shot of the game
-a combination to swim faster - a multiplayer mod online
-For food to become continental at a time

Thanks for the listen.
Good bye

You need to add like night time and a bed and that you can sleep :)

Multiplayer? idk i think with a good bit of additions and a harder gameplay mechanic multiplayer would be fun and interesting maybe with voice but at least with text so you can possibly set up a way to communicate via vice like dicord or skype but have public and private options with 1 or more rafts that you would have to connect (if multiple) or transport boats for trade if you decide not to connect. with 2 rafts there would be the idea of glitches happening with sharks locking on tho structures how many there would be etc

but i think multiplayer could be very cool especially with higher difficulty and maybe different modes or game varients

Very Good game. But needs lots of fixes. For example: When you are Dehydrating it would be good if the personage no cough so much, wich is a little annoying. I would like the posibility of navigate and find an Island and do a kind of bridge that connect both. I´d like ambientation sound and songs depending the moment. When the shark is coming to you suspense you know. Of course the most big missing thing there is the Multiplayer... The multiplayer would be a very big step in the right direction. It will Attract so much players. with pve and pvp servers.

Add more Languages. Spanish is the 2cnd Obligatory language you must put on the game. And then Italian, French, Portuguese, Russian

Deleted 7 years ago

Add a harpoon gun to catch whales and sharks with different type of harpoons that have a higher strength hook or rope more damage or better capacity to draw or reel in prey and a system of decay for food or liquids turning into inedible or undrinkable

I think you should add some kind of multiplayer. The game is really enjoyable right now and i think the aspect of playing with your friends goes along way and for me atleast is what makes games fun!. This game is a really good on that i could see playing with friends and think it would be your best implementation to date.

Multiplayer is not being planned for the foreseeable future.

Add a new topic page to go along with devlogs to tell us what is going to be added in the net update what is being worked on and what wil hapen in future updates farther down the line

+1 for this!

This game would be amazing and i'd love to see it multiplayer, and i know me and alot of people could say the same

Multiplayer is not being planned for the foreseeable future.

Good I think it should have multiplayer mode and have how to activate pvp in the game menu

I love this idea but I know it can be difficult to support. Imagine if it could be multi platform too!! :)

Multiplayer is not being planned for the foreseeable future. The developers have already stated this.

HIYA! was playing the game this morning, Great fun. Cant wait to see this develop with time. for now one BIG thing i would say is make the food/water decrease time longer (so you don't have to eat/drink as often) also add more food types, Carrots etc and maybe more types of fish!

Can't wait to see this as the updates roll out!

I would like an "easy" option (especially helpful for those on a macbook). I also get that it is a survivor game but always sad to lose such a beautiful home I've built (here is where some secondary revenue could be earned). Not that we could lay down but furniture and roof. Perhaps even further into the game we could make it through a night/day/rain/wind scenario but I am sure the developers have already thought of such things.

Maybe Multiplayer

way to lure in shark on hook

boats

portable base

islands

more creatures/ animals

(-1)

Add more tools.Add islands.Add weathers.Add doors.Add shop and money.Most would like to have multiplayer!!! this is my ideas!!! thanks :D

(+1)

no islands, it would turn into stranded deep

Multiplayer is not being planned anytime soon. The devs have already stated this multiple times.

this kind of sounds more like a community game than a stuck alone in the middle of nowhere on a raft game

first, what would the shop and money be used for. islands would make this game Stranded Deep. But the weather and doors would be really useful!

(1 edit)

Co-op Multiplayer, play with friends would be a pretty good option. That seems to be the next big thing presumably.

Larger variety of aquatic creatures/ taming animals ie: sea otters, dolphins etc with different usages (sea otters scavenge clams, dolphins can catch fish or other sea crawlers.)

(+1)

MultiPlayer

Multiplayer is NOT planned for the foreseeable future. The devs have stated this multiples times.

Tell when a new version will come out

What? Multiplayer will never be included.

My idea:

You should add that you can like put the hook on ur raft and then go swimming and if you want to go back you can go back faster with the hook


srry for my bad english

why would anyone need to swim?

so they can gather materials at the bottom of the ocean.

(+1)

Add a bag or more space in the inventory please :D (Raft its my favorite game)

(+1)

ADD A RESPAWN BUTTON

para que? si en fin la dificultad del juego es facil

That would ruin the purpose of the game

add like difficulities then like: easy that you can respawn, normal is as it is right now and hard is that the shark does more damage and attacks ur raft more

(+1)

Thx for creating this wonderful game. It has a lot of potential to become great.

Here a few ideas:

Roofs: Attacth them to walls and window wall

More food/plants to eat: More variety would be really cool

Different types of trees: this isnt has important but it would lok cool to have different looking houses

That's all from me now. Again thx for this great game.

(-1)

I think you should make it so after a certain amount of in game days you get rescued and make it so that hunger and hydration decrease a little bit slower.

nah

I don't know if anyone had this particular idea, however(as opposed to some of the more complicated things others had mentioned):

- Simple physics, perhaps light waves.

- If there's too much weight on one side, the raft could start to tilt(and possibly tip).

(The weight thing might be too much, not sure)

(+1)

the tipping wouldn't be the best idea, but if the dev adds difficulty, it should tip in the hardest mode.

can you create boats to explore everywhere along with less lag and islands to plz

How about an update where you can scuba dive with the right gear, of course. So we can discover more things like different sea creatures or an underwater abandoned cave to explore. You can add minerals to the cave and we can mine it to build more sturdy or rare items. You can also have like a rope to tie your raft to something so that it doesn't float away when you scuba dive. Just a thought~ great game btw!!!

Scuba seems unrealistic, given how much gear is involved, but snorkeling would work. Limited range (and your raft keeps drifting) and depth but still an opportunity to explore a bit while still keeping the world fairly small. Perhaps craft flippers to extend the range, add spear fishing (attracts sharks?) or perhaps clams/oysters that can be collected.

(1 edit)

BECAUSE DO NOT CREATE NEW TOOLS OR INCREASE DIFFICULTY OR FIND ISLANDS WITH OTHER THINGS THAT CAN NOT BE SO EASY (ALMENOS SMALL ISLANDS) and you can dive and make a base in the caves

tienes que ponerlo en ingles por que no lo entenderan..

Recommendantions and ideas

More optimization more fish more food a little more difficulty because once you have a tree and you are like a god natural disasters (that the boat moves a lot, waves that push you that you have the shark hit you A flap to the boat (depends on the size of the bigger the slower the thrust) multiplayer and everything you want ;)


Please continue updating the game if I could donate I would do it but I do not have a credit card the game enchanted me since I tried it.

add more difficulty pls

my english is not awesome ..

I think that diving should be added, a shark cage made of scraps would let you stay underwater for short while to collect things from the sea floor and the shark as usual will swim up to you and start attacking your shark cage

I have made all of my suggestions on this document in Google docs: Raft Suggestions

Something that I would like to see in the game and I'm sure you might be already making this. More types of Fish, some types more rare than others, some fish require different types of bait or rods.

Add boats and islands to explore

Do you realize that the game is about building a big boat?

They mean boats you can steer and move around.

(+1)

One other idea that I would like to see is Chest Labeling. IT would be AWESOME if you added this thankyou!

I think you should make a multiplayer section where about 10 players or so join one game; then they each get 30 minutes to make the best raft, after 30 minutes they all come together to vote. just like build battle on minecraft

I have three suggestions that I would like to share, and hopefully influence the game's progress in a minor (very minor) way.

-Different Types of Hammers

What I'm thinking for different types of hammers is that making a different hammer affects the material (and by extension the weight and material needed to hold up floors and possibly walls) the structures are made of. This would in turn affect their strength and resistance to sharks, seasons as other people have said, and something I'll mention next.

-Hostile NPCs and Advanced Combat

This may sound unrealistic (and trust me, I know it is) but it would be neat to have other, hostile (and possibly themed) Rafts come your way where they will use their hook or something new added to bring their Raft closer to yours to attack you. They could also loot and grief your ship. Going along with the themed idea, maybe some could have rare loot like new materials or extra food/scrap depending on their theme and maybe, just maybe, a rare shark tamer.

-Sanity or other Stats that would matter in a Stranded At Sea Situation with No one around

Lengthy title eh? Anyways, as the title says, a Sanity or other trait meter would be added in addition to the health, hunger, and thirst meters. Although it is quite self-explanatory and a bit too close of an idea to Don't Starve, it could effect other meters as well, like faster hunger and or thirst, slow damage, impaired or hallucinogenic vision, etc. This could also be a temperature meter, which would affect other stats as I've said with the Sanity meter.


Thank you for reading these suggestions by me

-S

Hello! I would like to give you some ideas for the game. 1) Sound options, the sound is very low and when it attacks the shark does not sound good. 2) in gameplay, cycle day and night, weapons like javelins or harpoons, serious good, more vegetables, seagulls to come and take your plantations or food, slingshot to kill them or to drive them away.These are my ideas, it would be good to work In these ideas and in the future put them in the game

(+1)

1. Add Different Strength base components too (metal walls foundations e.c.t).

2. Maybe different sized and shaped sharks. they should have different behavior too.

3. options!

4. Night time and weather!

yes and things that are hard to make but sharks can't destroy them easily

(+1)

Raft Developer I think multiplayer would be ideal in this game

(+2)

mabye you could find small uninabited islands but you cant live ther you have to move on

(+1)

I think we need islands but u cant stay there or your raft will drift away and multiplayer

(+1)

You should add a options menu where you can change the controls, i am on a macbook and need to plug a mouse in for some of the aspects of the game.

(+1)

If you could add mouse sensitivity,that'd be great!

P.S.:You could also add a spear improving station(I hate the shark!)

(2 edits)

Hi! I really like this game(Raft)and it has lot of potential. I would just like to suggest some challenges about the game. I hope the developers add some weather input like there will be storm that can damage your raft because of the strong wind, rain and waves. Blizzard, the ocean will be solid ice that you won't be able to fish and collect stuffs floating and starve for days(adding day and night will be awesome by the way!) so you need to store food. the survivor should also rest/sleep. and while he's resting, pirates(optional) will stole some of his stuffs. and add some more upgrades in the materials! I hope this game will continue!!i really love it!

I propose to do day and night

(+1)

Add Co-Op...will be great

YES A FUCKING COOP IS THE BEST

(1 edit) (+1)

let me express my feelings....... I LOVE THIS GAME!!

1. It is atmospheric

2. nice graphics

3. never actually gets boring (for me)

4. limitless

5. just all around amazing

I wish I had the cash to help you out, because it would be amazing if you added multiplayer to the game, if you did I promise you 100% that everyone would like it, i mean like it's a simple game with simple concepts but has not alot of bugs and pretty interesting, like how the shark always comes by and destroys your foundation and how it takes time to kill that shark, of course if you added a backstory to the character it would be 10 time better. A friend and I love playing this game and if you are able to add at least 10 players (friends) into one game i am sure of you i would create a whole civilization, i rate this game at a 10/10 but of course there is that one bug that when you're on the net's edege it glitches a bit and thinks that you're in water. But all in all a wonderful game.

of course when you record a video it gets laggy so if you are able to fix that it would be awesome (of course i am using a mac cuz it gets laggy as hell but if you can fix that........ idk what would happen, i hope top youtubers find this game and play it)

Ps. hope this game becomes a hit :)

(+1)

You can add Diseases. :)

(+1)(-1)

Don't know if anyone has said it yet, But i think it would be cool to have some kind of a multiplayer so we can play the game with friends or a system where you can make "Rooms / Servers" to interact a bit more with people. Might not be the best idea but it would be failry cool in my point of view.

Many people have asked for it but multiplayer is NOT being planned for the foreseeable future.

(+1)

I think a very reliable that will boost the game in popularity, donations and fun would be if you could make a multiplayer option or even a LAN option where we can open our world to LAN or the global world.

(+2)

I think there should be a button added to transfer all items at once like when you have a bundle of 10 wood you can hit T to transfer it all at once to your hand or crate instead of dragging and dropping because it can get annoying to have to keep going back and forth to move stuff and time consuming also it has to be right over the square you want to drop it in to be put there and if you let go it goes back to storage. Also think there should be an option to upgrade your storage by crafting upgrades to your self storage and crate storage. Also had a problem not being able to move anything after you place it, you end up having to destroy it and waste materials to build another so there should be an option to move it also can't destroy cooking stations. I think if you destroy something it should drop half the materials you used on it instead of just disappearing.

(+1)

I think you should add bow and arrows into the game so you can shoot the shark from range.

Please, please, please introduce inverted mouse. I'm too old to change. I'll add to my donation as soon as it's in.

That feature is being added in V1.05 aka the next update of the game.

How do you check for next updates?

Hey I Thought up some things that i think could really change the way the game works!

Building

1.Doors

2.Candles

3.Floors should have to be attached to a pillar not floating diagonally of one.

Tools

1.Bow and arrows

2.Fishing net

3.Scuba gear (Different parts of gear found in ocean?

Gathering

1.Add cloth that needs to be dried?

2.Metal

Misc

Weather that makes you go indoors for safty

Now i know this would be alot of coding but you could nurse a bird or something so it would help you gather?

Local multiplayer

I have repeated some of my previous ideas but I did it because i think they could be real cool aspects for the game and i know its hard making a game as cool as this but From what i have seen you work real fast. I thought it would take alot longer for you to make the chest but you made it alot quicker than expected! You seem really good at what you do and whatever your working on I am sure your doing a good job at it so by all means just tell me to stop because i have wrote alot and i don't care if you ignore me so yeah!

This game is awesome. my few ideas are: range, perhaps a flimsy bow with crafted arrow, all the way up to a mounted ballista because.... pesky shark. I would love some kind of breeding in farming to get better food, fishing tiers and bait would be great.

Oh and also: reinforced foundation, i imagine a foundation surrounded my metal, takes three shark attacks to "kill" mabye you need a ballon to keep it afloat.

everytime i hook something, for some reason it moves me towards the hook and into the water

A lot of people are saying make it harder, but please make it optionally harder, it would be nice to have a calmer advancing raft building simulator, but have a second world where I'm fighting for survival against three "jaws."

Does Raft have multiplayer

so you can play with more than one person on an island

If not please add it as i would really be interested to play with one of my friend

Read the FAQ first before asking for multiplayer. Thank you.

can you pls ad multiplayer and pls go to steam.I mostly whant the multiplayer

Read the FAQ before asking for multiplayer !

Dev , please add more items and night mode and multiplayer !

Multiplayer is not planned for the foreseeable future.

Multiplayer

THIS GAME NEED A FUCKING MULTIPLAYER THAN IS IT THE BEST GAME ON THE WORLD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Calm down bro

Read the FAQ first please !!

Not sure if anyone has suggested this, but what about sunstroke? It could be an environmental threat, alleviated by spending time in shade from structures or palm trees, thus adding more reason to grow them.

The difficulty with that, as well as the need for warmth in a day/night situation, would be balancing the early game when you're scrambling for resources to feed yourself, stay hydrated, and have a big enough raft to put other features on. It's pretty easy to die during that period as it is.

A water turbine would be cool. Maybe you could link it to some sorts of Basic machines like a tree chopper.

(1 edit)

i think it would be cool if you added some what of a leveling system or an unlock tree with different paths to choose like deep sea explorasion or a tech route for deafences against markus ( the sharkus ) or some form of com system to call for help

That would be really cool to see!

It would be cool if you where able to play co-op and build some kind of "building station" so the game could last longer

Maybe a creative/sandbox mode? I like building more than surviving :P

(1 edit)

you are such a genius

Maybe an option menu so you can set the brightness, shadows on/off, Quality Low/Medium/High, Etc.

Hi developer i have 2 ideas for the game : 1. Make the game Multiplayer to play with friends and add more furniture and resources in the game plzz read this

Before suggesting multiplayer, please read the FAQ and the responses to people who already suggested the same idea as you !! Thank you.

(1 edit) (+1)

More animals like stingray etc. And also night time and weather change

(1 edit)

I never thought of that, that is a great idea your a genius

(+1)(-1)

Maybe you can add some magical stuff? Means some potions, a magic wand or portals or stuff like that? :D


Would be really cool!

Huh?What does that have to do with surviving the ocean?

You are right. It has nothing to do with surviving. But I think its kind of boring to use the "normal" stuff to survive every time. You don't know why you are on this raft. Maybe you live in another year where you have cool techology? For example a machine that generates a portal? Why has everything to be logical? If you don't like it, maybe they can add this to a special event.

plsss add multiplayer

(1 edit)

Please read the FAQ before asking for multiplayer !! Multiplayer is NOT being planned for the foreseeable future.

i think you get way more people if you guys add multiplayer its already a awesome game but it would be even beter.

There are only 3 developers working on this game. Only one of them is a programmer! Adding multiplayer is a very hard thing to do. Very very difficult thing to do.

is this game made by a group of friends???

yep

(-1)

Upgrades for items would be great

More food

Character customisation + multiplayer

Islands, Reefs

controlling where the raft goes and having a compass

These are what ii would put in the game btw i love the game you guys have made a great start with it already

Multiplayer is not being planned for the foreseeable future.

You have to work on the story and make torchs if you make nights or beds

(+1)

My idea

add more enemys like pirates, stronger sharks/ more sharks in late game. Also more defensive/ offensive weapons and durability for the tools. Sry for my bad english.

(3 edits) (+1)

Dive in the water to find some item;submergend boats in the watter with some items;door;fish;strange plants;islnads;octopus;underwater caves;repair the shadow to see all body;animations for example:jump in the water,dive,etc;decoration for example:bed,chair,table;flashlights/torch for the night and a story for know how the man/girl reached to survive on the ocean.

Sorry for my english if i write wrong somewhere.

Cool!...builder mode salvage game. I like it ! I suck at hooking flotsam though.lol.

I tried it on my little Acer laptop [ AMD Athelon 64,1.6GHz,3200 graphics,2.75 usable RAM, 64 bit ] and it does good on 'simple' setting . 2fps and a bit jumpy. I suck at hooking flotsam though.lol. A ? placable ? water current detector ( float with a string ) or a compass , might limit the time spent spining around and waiting to see where things are headed .

I'm guessing the 'fog' is the toss limit and no point in removing that. Is the raft stationary , or does it shift with and unseen current?

Is there a plan to add achivments ?( pop up for builder 2nd story, shark killer, farmer, architect and the like. )

*One thing i did notice is that the game does not pause on crafting screen. * major bummer when just starting out.

Adding a bit of commetary to the actions may brighten things up a bit. Crafting spear triggers " this will be a fun little surprise " Spear to 'use' ..." here fishy ,fishy fishy' catch while fishing " Lunnnch! ". Missing / shark eats raft ;" well that's a revolting development"

Planting tree : lovely bunch of coconuts or some other fun ditty.

Sugestions:

-Pirates

-Day and Night

-More enemies, harder game

- Mode Easy/Medium/Hard

-More items and buildings

-boats or swim (to islands etc) on raft


Verry nice game! Waiting for updates!

P.S. Try to add this game to steam greenlight ;)

Add the mode survival with your friends

Adding a bit of ' water replenishment ' to raw fish may give a needed bump at the start. Balanced with lower food value for raw than cooked, it may be an easily adaptable change.

Add some islands, machines, door maybe. :D

PLEASE add tides.The game is way too easy at the moment.The resources should only come to you when the sea level rises or falls.Also,diseases like scurvy will be very realistic.

Its not meant to be realistic,more of like a sandbox type game. We are literally building houses from materials that float in the ocean. Not very realistic

(1 edit)

Suggestions :
- Multiplayer
- More enemies
- Day-Night cycle
- More types of fishes
- Bow and arrow
- Difficulties
Awesome game btw. I would love to see it on steam greenlight

Could people stop asking for multiplayer?They clearly can't right now.It wont happen in the near future.Just stop.

I want PS4 version. Please. Its good idea I think.

(-1)

Perhaps a day/night and weather cycle. eg. night its more dangerous and bad weather you 'get ill' from being outside in the cold and rain too long and a way to get around that without having to build a hut of sorts would be to have a small fire. And in really sunny days your need for water goes down faster. Also make it harder so it takes to to get a comfortable, big raft. and to let all the needs go down slower in normal times

And in case you haven't thought of it (for far in the future), maybe a sorts of story. like why are we there and what happened. proborly not a story with a finish though as it cuts off the whole survival thing
