Add a button with which you can transfer all the items from the inventory to the chest
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.
