I feel like the job assignment for the crew could be changed a bit. Maybe a sort of table view or drag and drop?
Keep it up, this is a cool game!
@leyamez My companion @WouterK12 fixed that part he did an amazing job.
@jpbaraky Thx my inner programmer art person will keep this comment close <3
@tosmaster It works on mobile through itch page. But i get it we started with a clicking pirates around the ship setup but changed it to this more simple version because it would let everything fit in one page of info.
thx all for playing :)
@leyamez Thanks! This API keeps track of the high scores: https://github.com/WouterK12/High-Score-API
Unity communicates with it via UnityWebRequest. To make it work on itch.io, the NGINX server accepts all cross origin requests and returns status 200 for every OPTIONS request :D
But a HUGE respect for the tutorial you've done, it's really good one, explaining all mechanics beforehand!
This game gives me flashbacks to FTL (a game I haven't played in *far* too long), but the clumsy interface makes surviving encounters a chore. Even with a full contingent of pirates, I'm stuck rapidly clicking back and forth between options trying to keep from sinking while also warding off whatever disaster my ship had gotten itself in. I think maybe that if the game had a smoother interface for assigning pirates to jobs, this game would be worth a few plays, but as it stands I got to my first island and hung up my sailing hat for good.
Still, I had a great time, and I'm surprised by the detailed tutorial you folks managed to put together. Awesome job!
