It would be interesting if you had some "rare item drops" from barrels-- things that didn't occur too frequently and could be used to create special items, like more powerful weapons or unique furniture-type stuff. Maybe make it like something from whatever shipwreck seemingly left you stranded out there. Other animals would be interesting, too, even if they were just for ambiance. My suggestion would be to have an albatross that flies overhead, maybe lands on your raft for a little bit.
maybe we can go underwater for a certain amount of time?
day/night cycle would be cool.
different sharks or other things. some friendly some not.
fires, tents, maybe you can add something that can move our rafts, but the shark will always follow you.
small islands near by that have some loot.
crabs in those islands?
different fish.
you could add ship wrecks that you could explore in.
and one more thing...MULTIPLAYER!!!!!!!!!!!
make a way you can make a homehosted server with hamachi or something similar to the way minecraft started servers then you can add up on it and that would be amazing, also add day/night cycle its weird having all day, also fix the annoying animation bugs like when you go to throw your hook it does the animation when your charging up, also add bigger chests or make you be able to hold more stuff like bigger stacks, add a experimental mode with unlimited items so you can mess around and see what happens when you do certain stuff. also eastereggs would be amazing like if you make a tall enough raft got just brings you to heaven or you sing and satin brings you to hell? idk but definatly make a steam greenlight page i would rate the game a $1-$30 game.
1. Day/night cycle
2. Weather cycle
3. Tweak balance of thirst/hunger, currently they seem a bit fast
4. VR support. This game would be fantastic with VR and motion controller support, as the player's actions would map very well for this. Also, this experience would be unique among VR experiences (as far as I've seen).
Add:
-New Tools allowing for a more destruction of the boiler and fire
-Night And bed (at night it will rain, snow, or will the storm, the weather shall not hurt injury to a prevent this you need to build a roof)
-Wall, Roof, floors and windows with stone
-New Tool which enables improvement of the walls, floors, roof, windows
-New raw stone
-Multiplayer
-And creating for free new server
This is a little nitpick, as I do love most of your ideas, but if the developers choose to go with the weather, based on the apparent location and presence of a shark, no snow. Rain storms are the only thing you would potentially run into (unless you wanted to be utterly cruel and literally end games via hurricane-- please don't.).
Ooh, you could also add a rare chance of a huge swordfish catching your fishing rod and dragging you some distance. That could also change up your location a bit, maybe giving you an alternate type of shark or something.
Yeah, I know. All I can come up with is rare occurrences. I just think the surprises would shake things up in a fun way.
