I think its a good idea to add more weapons like a Sword, the Material cost will be 10 Wood and 25 Scrap maybe

and also a fisher net where the Shark can be caught for 10 seconds

btw nice game i like it :D

I think that if they can , put in the game a multiplayer mode , more animals , and insolation , the person can get crazy bi the days , day and night . THANKS :p

This is open for debate and criticism, i just downloaded the game maybe 5 hours ago and got to the point where i was just sitting around fishing and fighting the shark off for fun and not scavenging because i had so many trees and potatoes growing XD

Possible New items:

Sharks teeth - acquired along with shark meat maybe 2% chance of getting a tooth per hit

Apples and oranges - gotta fight off scurvy maties

Herbs

Feather

Cloth

Flint/Rock/Metal - from barrels, same chance as getting a potato, Metal half that chance

Possible Craft-able's:

Chest - 8 slot (4 wood, 2 scrap, 2 rope)

Chest - 16 slot (8 wood, 4 scrap, 4 rope)

Moarter & Pestle - 1 wood, 1 scrap (makes antibiotics)

Bed - 5 cloth, 8 wood

Saw - 1 wood, 2 or 3 scrap

Shark Tooth Spear - Double damage from regular spear (4 sharks teeth, 2 wood)

Ladders - 2 wood, 1 rope

Half Wall - 1 wood, 1 Leaves

Doors - 3 wood

Fishers Net - 5 rope

Antibiotics - 3 herbs

Bow - 2 wood, 1 rope

Bolts/Arrow (3) - 1 scrap, 1 wood, 1 feather

Crossbow - 6 wood, 3 rope

Sword - 1 wood, 1 rope, 1 swordfish bill

Torches - 1 wood, 1 cloth

Make-shift lighter - 2 flint

Lantern - 5 metal, 1 Whale Fat, 1 cloth

Possible New Animals:

Birds - flying over the raft occasionally, 5% chance you can get feathers from them

Squid - Tentacles (just for laughs but can also cook to be the same as shark meat cooked)

Salmon or some other fish - same as the other fish you already have but just different types fro variety

Swordfish - .05% chance of appearing can acquire one swordfish bill per kill

Jelly Fish - invincible but produces light during the night

Whale - .01% chance of spawning, gives 3 whale fat and 20 whale meat when you kill it, 1 whale meat cooked fills health completely, uncooked only dose half

Possible added features:

Notice: Most of these i saw in previous post but to try and make things easy for the dev's il put them here and try to get most suggestions in one place. if i miss anything please comment.

Character Creation/customization

Sickness - eating raw items and drinking salt water, drains health, slows movement, limits vision, cured by waiting 1 minute or taking anitbiotics

3rd person view

Islands in the background (merely cosmetic, just something other than open ocean)

Wreaked Rafts with loot able items

Move/Pick up placed items - cant tell you how many cokign stations and water purifiers i lost lol, or maybe i missed that control in the instructions

Controller Support

I'm not a computer techie so i don't know how to phrase it but some more quality options for now so well computers or laptops

Sensitivity options

Co-op/Multiplayer

Level System

Day/Night Cycle

Weather Cycle

Larger your base is, the more creatures it attracts

Skills Upgrades - faster swimming, less food/water used when playing, unlock building items


For now that is all i can think of. It is 2 am here so maybe ill think of more stuff and add on to this later. if any dev's read this please comment what you think, id love to hear back, and same to the community who play this. i like to think i hit on most of the main stuff but there is a high possibility i missed something.

Peace fellas, i hope ya'll don't have too much trouble

And to everyone Happy Late New Years

Very nice job, most of the ideas I really like, in my post there are a bit different things but your post is insanely good!

(+1)

Well, I have played 4 hours straight, and i liked it a lot, But the thing is that all that four hours were spended by doing a big and good looking boat, but when i was in the fourth hour, I mysteriously died, and i remembered that i had low the food, for getting a better final game, I recomend you to put the screen in red when you are dying, also, I would add random special events, like as in a certain moment, a horde of sharks arrives and starts attacking your raft, it would also put more things, like a metal reinforcement to the foundation, or something so that the sharks do not destroy your raft so fast, it would also add a Bow, with his arrows, a spear that can be thrown, not like the one already in the game, I see a lot of potential for this game, and if it will cost money, I would pay something considerable for the game.

;v

Of course people will post duplicate ideas. Since very few will bother read a bunch of previous posts, also waste of time. If You really want to reduce repetitions then you have to have (a link to) a list of suggestions in this first post, frequently updated and preferable with status.

Same with bug reports, but also have an "fixed" section in case of a recurrent one.

Also have an easy option to upload files; pictures and saves and logs. For such I do not like using e-mail or Imgur or similar.

(1 edit)

Default put the saves folder below the main game folder.

Maybe later on (when have an install package) an option to select where the save files are stored, without messing with a config file.

Option to fast save in game. Also option to "save as".

Maybe even have an auto save or 3. Then You might have files to request if bugs or issues.

Better spears

THANKS IN ADVANCE.

And night!!!

Some thoughts after trying V1.04 some hours.

Looks like it could be a nice game. Just that as is it is very unrealistic, since any larger ocean/water have weather that creates different waves and situations. Coding a raft that moves with waves would be demanding though; Rain, wind, movement, lightning. Add some sense of movement.

Missing a goal to work against, like being rescued. Maybe now and then you get a part to a radio transmitter of some kind.
Or get parts to build signal rockets, to alert planes that passes by very seldom. Air drop option possible too.
Or build the raft to a certain size with stuff/farms. Anyway there ought to be a max size (3D).
Or survive for a certain time, then have to add some hazards along the way. Difficulty could be added by larger debris that can hit the raft and destroy parts.

Canned food and glass jars could also be found in barrels. Option for multiple uses for such items.

Small reefs and islands too could be added. For possible damage to the raft and/or getting special resources, food or materials or whatever.

Some debris could be (large) parts of other rafts or boats, with the ability to salvage stuff. Maybe have to create a long rope to tie to you and your raft. So when time out you get pulled away.

Not sure if should add the possibility to dive (and swim better). Making equipment for diving and catching.

If to add pets then islands and larger debris could contain cats, dogs, chickens, lizards, crabs, and so on.

If you ever had shadows in this game, you will notice pretty fast, that you dont have a player model, just arms floating in the air. I laughed when I saw it the first time - but for the future please create a player model. That can be combined with clothing and/or armor and amybe even a multiplayer mode, where the players can host a server. How about that community?

(+1)(-1)

maybe add multiplayer i think the muitiplayer will be a great idea to play with friends and have fun???

Show post...

V1.04 already has the sprint ability.

But my friends can't XD

I can help translating to Korean at least

Hey, I play your game since two days and it is really fun!

I have some ideas to improve your game for an even better playing time.

  1. You should really add a function where you can defend/block the shark from parts of your raft. ( I build a raft with 4 floors and its impossible to see the shark everytime when he attacks the big raft ), and I ended up loosing half of my raft because he ate a important part with a pillar. So add a like "improved foundation" which cant be destroyed by the shark. ( But make it expensive please!)
  2. An other really cool function ( but not necessary ) would be a driving function with a sail, where you can discover new regions of the see, maybe with new types of fish or whales. And some crafting materials only can be found in special regions. That would be very nice!
  3. And of course a multiplayer online co-op mode ( but thats not needed for the stage of the game ).
  4. Also it would be nice ( but I expect it to be already in progress ) is adding new types of buildings, materials, tools etc.
  5. And now a bit of a crazy idea: You maybe could add like a "leveling/evolve" function for your raft. In my mind I have the idea like of evolving the raft in different stages, like the first stage is the "raft-stage". After that you can evolve your boat in like a "small-boat-stage" and so on until you get into the last stage "Huge-boat". I know its a lot of work but in the last stages of the game you could add like electricity or other technical stuff. If you could implement that into the game, it will make a huge difference of things you can explore and so on... ( I know it requires a lot of different materials and structures and its a really big amount of work ). Here i´ll give you a list of things you could add if you want to do one of my ideas: smithy,blueprints,maybe sunken ships where you can loot materials,generators,torches, all type of structures to build the different evolve-stages,weapons to defend the ship ( in the differnt regions are different angry fishes) which can only be defeated by good enough weapons,fishing nets ( you unlock better equipment by evolving your raft ),any types of crafting station which are needed to craft some equipment.

I hope you can use and some of these ideas and I hope they are realizable.

If you want to ask me more about my ideas sent an email to my account ( I think you know my email adress)

I hope I helped you out a bit with my post.


Keep on working on this fantastic game!

A New Multitude of sharks and weapons with different health and damage.

Make Exploring possible with some shipwrecks or islands with special treasures and fun things on them.

Find a way to put NPC's or animals into the game

:)

My only complaints are for realism, the concept and feel of the game are great, keep up the good work!

As a 'MacGyver' type IRL myself, I would, in this situation, take a few precautions with the sharks, specifically I'd have a panel or something, full of sharp spikes, so when it bites the side of the raft it gets a mouthful of sharp rusty tin cans or somesuch.

Also, I applaud you on a plausible water desalination system, although based on the design, not super efficient. IRL I'd build it much more enclosed.

Also, something to think about for the future, it does rain from time to time in the middle of the ocean, a rainwater collector would be a good idea if you ever add weather cycles.

If you want models for any of these I can do them, but I only work in Sketchup.

il faudrait plus de choix de craft une table de craft pour plus de choix in french

Hello! I would like, that you add to the game, many more weapons like: bows, tridents, arrows, boomerangs, harpoons ...

Thanks

(+3)

I would like the following updates to update:

1. Water bottle: to drink 3 times,

2. Add 2 to 3 sharks, to add tension to the game

3. Add more fruits, such as pineapple, banana, mango, and papaya.

4. traps for fish (faces), to hunt more fish,

5. Islands + treasures for a bit of fun

6. The mobility of the boat, it does not look like a boat but a platform

7. Boat parts, after a while change or improve the plates to return them by boat or ship

8. More animals or marine life and add birds of prey or normal

9. Last add glass
