This will be AWESOME, if it could have multiplayer with bigger boats/ships. My friends and I have been searching for a game like this forever! But we can't play with each other. The game by its self, it looks awesome, the water looks brilliant. But in my opinion, it would be lots of fun to play with friends.
I really loved the atmosphere ... the sound of the waves, spray or water, and the rolling effect. You really feel like you are out of your depth.
For me it might have actually been too realistic in terms of combat. I don't think I was even able to hit the first boss. If I did, I did not see any indication.
I would suggest starting with something a little easier, maybe taking out a few sharks with one shot each, to give the player some positive feedback and a feel for the weapons and movement before pitting them against a giant boss whale. Just a suggestion.
I will keep going ... feel free to ignore ... If you've played Legend of Zelda: Windwaker, I really loved the fights with the giant squids. They were much easier of course, but they put your boat into a whirlpool that spins around the squid. This looks terrifying but actually makes it easier, because you no longer have to control the boat. I'm not sure if you had a time limit in that case...
There was also a great boat/monster combat in Resident Evil 4, but I can't remember exactly what I liked about it.
Finally, Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth has a fight against Dagon, where you are on a ship. You have to grab hold of the railings when he shakes the boat, then you have a few seconds to get a shot at him with the on-board cannon. That was probably my favorite boat/monster fight ever.
Again, these are just ideas I am throwing at you. I do really love the idea and how well you've made this!
Game has a lot of potential. I know it's still early into development but it would be awesome if the creatures all had their own unique "death animation" for when you died to them.
Hey, steb! Played this game for a few hours. Amazing. I've been following you on twitter for a while now, and watching the development on this game was wonderful. You created such a unique world and concept, well done. I can not wait for the final product of this game, I'll definitely be purchasing if or when you post on Steam.
One thing I really would like to see in the future is boat / dock upgrades perhaps?
I really want to see a new game + mode as well? (Far later on in development, whenever you see fit. Dunno.)
All in all, loved it so much. Will continue to replay the demo until the next version is released. Great work!
Thank you for the support! It is much appreciated.
I did consider upgrades before, I even had an implementation for a shop where you could buy them, however it made balancing difficult and felt unnecessary.
I may consider another type of upgrades (e.g. pick an upgrade after every boss), I need to do some planning and then I'll see how I feel after that.
Hii, I've made a video about the game and I wanted to share some feedback about it :), hopefully it's useful to you :D
-The main concept/idea of having epic battles against those brutal bosses is quite interesting give the player a pretty interesting gameplay experience.
-All the gameplay mechanics you have chosen work very well together and feel pretty solid, the battles feel really epic and even losing feels fun because it's a way to learn how to fight the enemy.
-Visually the game looks amazing, I would improve a little bit the dock, but when you get into the sea and get into the fight the visuals are spectacular.
-I literally forgot to repair the ship as I was distracted admiring the movements of the boss hahaha.
-If this is what you have done in 8 months keep working on this because with more time and improving things like the menu and adding a few new bosses you could have a very very awesome game.
In conclusion, the idea is great and I hope you keep working on it. Hopefully this is useful for the development :D, also if you could subscribe that would help me a lot :)
I'm definitely gonna buy this when it comes out, it's so ambitious and refreshing to see a concept like this! You really feel the scale from your poor tiny boat and how it rocks and the gameplay is simple but effective. Hoping I can get a new gfx card in time for the real release!
I really thought this is some monster simulation when I played this game. BUT NOOO! We got right into killing each other and trying to bring the sea monsters down! I'm The Monster HUnter at the sea... Muhahaha! Yeah, I'm having way too much fun at this game. Will definitely come back for more! Awesome job!
