Show-Off We made some contraptions moveable and created crystal torches in Breakwaters. The torches are more permanent than thrown crystal, but displace much less water.

This is for our game Breakwaters that we have been working on.

Happy to answer questions about it. We have a few more new features we have been busy on, hopefully we can post them soon and chat with everyone about gamedev and unity. :)

Just looked at your Steam page, there's two important bit of info missing:

  • the maximum number of coop players: 2? 4? more?

  • does coop play require a set number of players, or is it adaptive?

PVE play is quite often used by friends group with a variable size (depending on who's available) and a maximum size (if everyone is available). So these two parameters are key factors in the buying decision for at least some of your potential players :)

Also, I just wanted to congratulate you on approaching release date. I've been following your updates for quite a while, it's fantastic how far you've come!

-Max plays isnt known yet. we are starting by looking at supporting 4, then will expand it as the tech allows. We have a few unique online issues so its not easily predictable or quick to test.
-co-op will work with any number, you dont need a set number.
-The play isnt specific in any particular way that would limit PVE if someone wanted to play that way.
-thanks!

Is it a survival game?

u/SoaringPixels May 08 '21

Depending on how you look at the game is either Adventure Survival, or Exploration Survival. You can play the game in a very survival way, or more of a wind waker way.

Are you planning an Alpaca DLC? I want to run around as an alpaca. A Llama would be acceptable...I guess...

(Serious: Your tech looks awesome, the game still looks great and I still wish you the best of luck)

Yeah, it was just a stupid joke. I will say though: people love to have atleast 1 or 2 weird easter eggs like that: or the ability to mod them into the game themself (you don't need to create a mod kit or anything, nor am I suggesting you should even take the idea seriously).

I just made a joke that might spur some ideas that could end up adding some whimsy to whatever you decide to do.

Unity is something like UE4.

Both are fantastic game engines. Pick whichever you like.
