The Salty Seas

Inspiration

The inspiration for this game mainly came from all of our mutual passion for video games. After brainstorming for projects we can create using this years theme, this is what we came up with.

What it does

The Salty Seas is a low poly, mission based rpg made in Unity. The main objective is to collect the coins and explore the unknown islands for all they have to offer.

How we built it

We built The Salty Seas in Unity using a variety of different low poly assets and C# scripts.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into a lot of challenges, one being that we had to figure out how to make unity collaborative, learn how to use C# and navigate the unity UI to bring our ideas to life.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud that we finished a lot of the small goals we had set out at the start. This was a very fun and eyeopening project on what we can do in the world of game development and we only scraped the surface.

What we learned

We learned how to use Unity and create different scenes and create a game, with more time we can most definitely improve and make a more in depth game

What's next for The Salty Seas

We plan on making more levels and add more interactions as well as animations and make the game a lot more polished, but with the time we had we believe we did very well, especially for not knowing anything about Unity at the start of these 36 hours.

Created by

I worked on three of the islands, as well as creating the base movement for the boat and helping my team brainstorm with ideas and what minigames to do.

I worked on multiple aspects of the project. The biggest challenges I faced were creating the water plane, water shader, and boat collisions with island objects. I also added the music to the game and helped make one of the many islands.

I worked on creating the scene changes, the doubloon collection and collision, created the basic island and the rough story. The biggest challenges I faced were creating and learning to change the scenes as well as figuring out the minigames and make sure they work.

Rodolfo De Armas
I worked on the boat buoyance physics, dialogue system management, and wave physics. Since we were all novice Unity programmers, we struggled with colliders, collisions, and sin/cos wave physics. Although this was more difficult than expected, I still had a great time learning and programming with my team!
