NOTE: This game is not finished! You can pick up swordfish but you cannot shoot them out :( Also you can fly and go through walls. There were going to be sea monsters to fight off by launching swordfish at them, but I ran out of time.
Requires Opengl 3.3+ It also _may_ not work on Win8, I haven't been able to test that.
Also there seems to be a bug involving the random number generator preventing fish from spawning. If you don't see any fish try restarting the game.
What the game does have: Procedurally generated sea floor, infinitely looping A pretty cool flashlight Pick up swordfish by driving over them
It sounds lame but I did some pretty cool technical things. I'll be posting an article about it soon.
Let me know if this doesn't work, I haven't tested it on any other computers yet. Thanks for playing :)
I also created a soundtrack in the 72 hours, but added it to the game after the limit. I did the bubble sound effects with a Korg MS-20 Mini and the pads with some free VST and a ton of reverb.
It doesn't really seem to fit the jam theme and it also seems to be lacking in game play. You've got a great basis for a game here, but not a whole lot else.
Haven't rated this as the game doesn't appear to work as intended. Running this on a 64-bit system but all I get is a line I can drive along and bump into swordfish. Game looks nothing like screenshots provided: http://imgur.com/aXnXRt3
It now works! Given what's here it's really nicely done, the lighting and particles really help to draw the art style together and the slightly sluggish nature of the controls lend an authentic feel to piloting the submarine. Would love to see a finished version of this. Also, no in-game sound? :(
Don't think I can rate this as there isn't a complete game here. The idea is certainly interesting, though the way the submarine handles seems a bit strange (it would seem to rotate almost too easily for how slowly it moves).
For some reason I find this really compelling without any gameplay. The atmosphere is compelling enough to make me want to explore. The slow pace really works. Add in a bigger variety of sea creatures, especially as you get to the sea floor, and you'll have something really special, I think. Great work. =)
@huga 3.5GHz 8-core, 8GB RAM, AMD Radeon HD 7700. The game ran at a high frame rate, everything just moved very slowly. It may have something to do with delta time calculation, if I had to guess!
@dvdfu Ok so it wouldn't be your computer then :P I didn't do any delta time though, it's fixed framerate. It could just be the speed of the sub, I made everything slow because it was underwater.
