*Disclaimer* The first build went up ~4 and a half hours after the deadline. So I don't know if there is much reason to rate it and one would probably still not call it a full game but I would still appreciate the feedback. Thank you. */Disclaimer*

Sail the seas with a wind propelled ship and build a power grid to power up the mysterious hub.

Running on Unreal Engine 4 built for Windows x64.

Controls:

-Gamepad left stick left and right controls rudder, keyboard A and D or left and right arrow

-Gamepad right stick controls camera, Mouse move

-Gamepad A to enable/disable power node spawner, Spacebar

-gamepad Right trigger or keyboard S or down arrow to slow down

Version 1.1 is visually much brighter and thus more readable. There are some gameplay and other visual tweaks as well. Download this version if you want a better ambient experience, but know that I know that this is very much going against the good practices.

*Edit from comments*

-The binaries are located in: TranceiverGame\Tranceiver\Binaries\Win64

-For the .dll isseus: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784

Tried to run it but said it needed MSVCR120.dll. I'm on windows 7 ultimate

Doesn't work for me, getting a error about a missing MSVCR120.dll <_< (Windows 7 64 bit)

In terms of mood and aesthetics it's superb but like you said it really lacks gameplay.

(I played 1.1) Really nice visuals, the wood texture on the boat, and the boat model itself was really nice. Though as others said it lacked gameplay.

Good feelings from this

Wow. Graphics and sound are excellent.
Good luck with next LD. It's enough time to practice game and project planning (something I need to do myself)

Nice sound graphics and mood but that's more a visual experience than a game it needs some gameplay ! ;)

Thanks for the feedback and for submitting the .dll fix!
The initial idea was to make an atmospheric puzzle game/experience. Movement and base mechanics/systems got in and so did a subset the visuals but actual puzzle implementation did not. Just ran out of time to add enough substance, there is always the next LD then.

Mood and graphics are fantastic! Quite impressive and disturbing atmosphere coming from those inductors.

Hey, I can't play this since it's Windows-only, but I just wanted to say how immensely cool those screenshots look!
