This game would seriously benefit from a minimap though, since I've wandered at least two times around and lost without meeting any ship. Still, I felt compelled to try again, so props to you!"},{"author_name":"TheMightyComp","author_uid":"9992","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 10:53pm","epoch":1367275680,"text":"I was very impressed with the graphics (especially the water - nice job on that), but I don't really see how this fits the theme of minimalism.  Also, the physics can be a bit wonky - almost 1\/2 of the ports I visited, my ship went flying across the screen for a couple seconds before settling down.  It would also be nice to have an explanation of some of the random pickups around the map."},{"author_name":"Richard Matey","author_uid":"16170","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 10:53pm","epoch":1367275680,"text":"@Michael Hall Thanks! The water is the Unity Pro version it was a free trial over the weekend so a great excuse to experiment with it. Check out their site their other examples are way better just need more documentation."},{"author_name":"NeverAutomatic","author_uid":"18283","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 10:54pm","epoch":1367275740,"text":"Looks awesome for a game made in 2 days!"},{"author_name":"Shigor","author_uid":"5242","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 10:55pm","epoch":1367275800,"text":"It gets boring when you run out of the crew and just randomly sail around hoping to find a port (i found only one)... finished in the end after few minutes, but can't say I was enjoying myself.\r<br\/>The ship controls were too clunky, free rotation would at least give me some more feel for movement."},{"author_name":"Galvesmash","author_uid":"20148","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 11:00pm","epoch":1367276100,"text":"Cool idea but too many bugs!

At that point, the physics would go haywire and your ship can start doing stunts. Best bug ever, please leave it in!"},{"author_name":"Richard Matey","author_uid":"16170","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 12:32am","epoch":1367281620,"text":"@Josefnpat Thanks for checking it out. Haha yeah I have a ton of bugs because of fast physic implementation but maybe thats the silly charm for now haha. Great point on the goal. Still changing that and messing around with values to get the most mileage out.
