As advertised.

Not much to do here. Cool tech though. Add some gameplay in like fighting other ships and it'll be great. Good try though.

qdowngames 2013-04-30 02:55

Hmmm. Nice islands but no much else I suppose. Great start!

cloudiestnights 2013-04-30 03:26

Quite a happy amount of islands! Not a lot to do, but that's what the instructions say.

Not a game yet, but interesting start for a level generator.
The ship has some strange behaviour.

donan 2013-04-30 07:16

Quite a good generator, but as stated before, not a game yet :)

lotusgame 2013-04-30 08:59

To strange, don't know if it is a game. Nice minecraft cubes :)

It's a pretty cool proof of concepts, procedural land for a game where you sale sounds fun. Though with no sound and no collisions it is a little hard to play for very long I think. Even a looping sound of seagulls and waves could really add a lot to the atmosphere. Tech wise I think it's fantastic though, and quite amazing that the generation animation could function through the web player!

It's a shame there's no much to do.

georgebroussard 2013-04-30 09:25

More of a tech demo but something you can maybe build on.

lasergans 2013-04-30 09:44

As advertised more a simulation than a game.

Very impressive tech, awesome stuff. Gameplay certainly follows the theme ;)

m-gryko85 2013-04-30 12:05

Not much to do here. Nice islands though.

kbm0 2013-04-30 12:21

The aesthetics are nice, although there is not much to do yet.

tipyx 2013-04-30 12:23

Cool tech, but not very funny :)

jacques_le_lezard 2013-04-30 12:24

Like the idea, but sad that you go through the island ...and no any goal =/ Good work, but not a game yet!

delanghe 2013-04-30 12:30

beautiful game,but what is the principle ?

delahee 2013-04-30 13:10

Nice engine but hard to understand the game itself :)

aestheticgamer 2013-04-30 14:34

Fun to look at, but not really much to it. There also are weird clipping issues with the ship going through islands and sinking whenever it hits a checkpoint.

bobokat 2013-04-30 15:08

interesting start. the boat tends to run into the land before I can get to it. I like the way the land forms at the start.

deusroffe 2013-04-30 15:08

looks like a promising start for something, but as is it feels empty

diamonde 2013-04-30 16:01

I like the style and I had hoped to be able to play with the world some more. I think this kind of playground can be much further explored, because it's really cool and minimalistic! :)

edocentrique 2013-04-30 16:21

Nice islands that's true

belickim 2013-04-30 16:48

I really hoped islands are destructible :(
Are you planning to make it more game-like?

jubjub-2 2013-04-30 16:57

I like the graphics, and moving my ship around for a while was fun, but I don't really know what else to do haha. I'm not sure if I'd classify it as a game per se, but it's definitely minimal.

sylvain-p 2013-04-30 17:06

Shame about the lack of game because the "terraforming" is good.

ptsnoop 2013-04-30 19:35

Quite an intriguing toy-thing. Is it a game? I'll let the experts debate that one. :)

jiddo 2013-04-30 20:56

I like how it looks. There seems to be a bug with the ship reaching the red destination markers and turning vertical, facing upwards. I tried the web version, so I don't know if it's because of Unity's web player. Also the ship was moving through the islands and not around them. But I really like games with ships, so I enjoyed quite alot directing the little ship around the environment.

johnnysix 2013-04-30 21:13

Liked the tech - as others have said, some kind of simplistic gameplay element would have been a nice addition. The ship also appeared to sink when hitting the buoys. :O

psychomonster 2013-04-30 21:31

Maybe you can polish this and use it as a map-generator for your next real game. I like the Idea

silentspartan72 2013-04-30 22:20

Like stated many times before, not really a game and i know its a ghost ship but i dont like how it just floats through the land.

kibertoad 2013-05-01 00:03

Wish it was a game.

zerebruin 2013-05-01 12:36

Interesting, but more of a tech-demo than a game :)

minionstudios 2013-05-10 03:29

So crazy! I only wish I could rotate it.

deepnight 2013-05-19 16:59

Nice tech demo, but couldn't figure if there was actually something to do. So I didn't rate it.
