But I was really disappointed to myself with the the pace of development. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>For example, I was not able to hit some of the milestones early and that caused some of the other elements to be abandoned. One mechanic that was abandoned were sharks."},{"author_name":"Zed","author_uid":"4687","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 3:18pm","epoch":1398697980,"text":"Really nice idea. The story was lovely, although the ending was very 'abrupt'. Also, after upgrading the boat once, I felt like I was just sort-of doing the same thing over and over again, and spent most of my time waiting for the fish to respawn.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Very solid, though.
