Dev Diary #4 - Survivor Stories

Apr 19

Replayabilty is a big aspect of this game genre, and we have been exploring interesting ways we can add replayability to the game.

Introducing "Survivor Stories"

When you start a new game, before you create your characters - you can choose your "Survivor Story".

This is the story of your group of survivors, and it determines what resources you start with, the starting stats of the group (e.g. maybe they are all starving), and any conditions you start with.

There's a lot we can with this system to create unique starting situations, and it can also impact the difficulty of the game. (E.g. an easier playthrough where the start of the game is all sunshine and coconuts - literally).

... or perhaps one of your survivors lost a fight with a shark and is in dire need of medical attention...

Survivor Stories also determine the number of survivors you start with, which can drastically change how you approach the start of the game. Perhaps more mouths to feed? Or less hands that can work!

These are only a couple of examples - we are looking forward to coming up with some interesting and quirky things in the system.

That wraps up this dev diary, we would love to hear your thoughts!

Dev Diary #3 - Character Creator and the Magnificent Beardstache

Mar 24

Character development is integral to Oceaneers, so wouldn't it be nice if you could customize the look of your characters? Well, you can!

Name your characters
Customize the design
Choose a background
Choose starting traits

Playtesters have already been loving huge amount of customization for characters! You can really create unique designs, making the characters your own.

40 hair styles
Beards, Moustaches & Eyebrows
Colors (hair, skin etc).

The "Beardstache" System

Our unique "Beardstache" system allows you to choose a separate beard and moustache, combining them together. This results in a huge amount of variety, allowing you to come up with great character designs, with facial hair in all the right places!

Backgrounds

Character backgrounds determine their starting stats, skills they like/dislike, and in some cases give them unique traits!

Traits

Choose traits to customize your characters even more. Optionally choose a bonus positive trait by taking a negative one for a little risk and reward.

All of these systems together allow you to create different characters when starting each playthrough. Whatever happens after that is up to the sharks!

That wraps up this dev diary, we would love to hear your thoughts!

Mod Support?

Will this game be easily moddable? What is the end game like? I.e., Is it a "tell your own interesting stories" kind of game or is there a "roll credits" moment when the story is completed?
