The Depths

[Sushin]

The Depths will be a game about a lone diver who searches for treasure, rare fish, and sea monsters.

As of now I'm not sure what exactly I'm going for, but I think I want to make an action game involving combat and motion in a zero-G environment under water, involving different attacks with items obtained from treasures, and upgrades to different stats via upgrades with money, and perhaps hunger and health regain from other smaller fish, all so that you can fight giant sea monsters that live deeper down in the ocean, where sunlight will eventually be non-existent (bring a flashlight).

Here's a playable version of my current progress. WASD moves the character.

I love the flocking! The fishies are very cute
the background is a bit annoying though.

The art is all place holder. The striped background is simply there for texture until i replace it with water.

Attacking, health, jellyfish and better AI for existing fish are put in for today. Unfortunately nothing is going to look very impressive until my artist starts cranking stuff out.
Until then prepare to be somewhat impressed.

I do have some conceptual art to show however. The final product will be pixel-art, these are just drawings.

Hi friends and lovers.
I finally started adding in the art and now there's something worth showing.

Currently there is no point to the game. The fish don't give any points or anything quite yet but there are several different kinds and they are quite abundant ATM.
Soon I will be working on getting the point values for all the fishies and allowing the player to upgrade their equipment and stats.

Check the first post to play the game. Feedback is always greatly appreciated.

This looks great. The boat and diver look awesome, and I love the sense of scale with the jellyfish

Hi guys.
The game is going to be submitted late but it's still coming.
I'm on a surprise vacation so it's taking longer than expected.
