You play a lone survivor aboard a makeshift raft adrift in the vast ocean, searching for civilization. Resupply on uninhabited islands.<\/p>\n

*Battle sharks!<\/p>\n

*Fish for food!<\/p>\n

Will you survive the terrors of the ocean? Will insanity take over your mind? You are alone in the tiny world that is your raft.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

So that’s my description. Have some more features penned, but I’m still new to this stuff so I will add them in if time allows.<\/p>\n

Tools: Game Maker Pro for my game engine and art creation. \u00a0Fruity Loops PE for audio<\/p>\n

I’ll be using base code from Matt Thorson’s Grandma Engine if allowed.\u00a0Specifically, the room transition script.<\/p>\n

So far I’ve got player movement on the\u00a0over-world\u00a0map. Combat will be in a menu type battle system using a different view. Graphics will be done akin to a Gameboy game with limited palette and 160×144 resolution.<\/p>\n

Here is a screenshot of what I have so far:<\/p>\n
