Unfortunately, I gave up on the Bell Bearing Giant Clam section because I didn't know what to do. It wasn't that the controls were too difficult or anything like that—it was more that I genuinely had no idea what the correct action was…
The game is very beautiful, and the music and sound effects are wonderful. I felt it really captured the atmosphere of the ocean well. Maybe this part will be unlocked later, but personally, I'd be happy if it weren't just an “errands” game the whole time, and if I could freely explore and enjoy fishing and treasure hunting… Of course, this depends on personal preference, so I don't think this is the “right” answer at all.
Anyway, I had a great time. 🙂
Oh. Sorry if that was confusing.
I’ll improve the boss descriptions in the next version, but you can stun him by using the shadows of the rocks. There are also many bosses you can defeat by taking advantage of the ocean environment.
I didn’t have the resources to include four exploration stages this time, but I’ll consider it for the future!
The true ending is planned for stage 5 or 6!
I never expected a 3D game of this quality to be made in such a short amount of time! Swimming around in the ocean is so much fun. Maybe because I'm not used to it yet, but moving the camera felt a little tricky to handle!
Thank you very much.
Since the 3D model was a real challenge this time,
I spent an entire day in advance just testing the 3D model and creating the sound effects, and then finished the rest all at once during the actual production.
As for the camera, due to time constraints during development, that will be a task for the next update!
I was really impressed by the rich 3D visuals and polished UI! Despite how detailed everything looks, the game ran very smoothly and made exploring the underwater world feel really comfortable.
Thank you!
I really struggled with finding the right balance
between rich 3D graphics and smooth performance.
Since I assumed that not many people own gaming PCs,
I made a conscious effort to keep the system load low.
It’s really fun!
The underwater 3D environments are beautiful, and the game offers a huge amount of content with its wide variety of quests.
There’s a real sense of satisfaction in powering up through new equipment.
I also really appreciated the user-friendly design, such as the on-screen explanations for controls and the indicators showing the direction of quest objectives.
Thank you!
It was definitely worth using up all that leftover AI credit from work!
I struggled with the game's direction alongside the AI,
but it’s turned out this way.
I’m glad you noticed the friendly elements—those were parts I asked the AI to improve!
The artwork is amazing! I had a hard time controlling the diver and catching the fish, maybe the camera could follow behind and point at the direction the diver is facing for future polish
Thanks for the advice!
I'm intentionally making the fish part a little tricky,
but improving my camerawork is key!
Wow I was super impressed when I opened this up! I struggled capturing my first fish, he decided to swim out of the water. He really didn't want to be my friend.
Wow, thanks for playing!
You can stun the fish, but I think some of them started swimming again...
