Under the Ocean

Game: Under the Ocean
Platform: Windows and Mac
Website: http://www.underthegarden.com/


Survive on a Tropical Island:
Overcome the weather, vicious animals, injuries, disease, dehydration and famine to build your home on a deserted island. You start out shipwrecked, thirsty and alone. Start your campfire, find weapons and forage for food before the night sets in. You scavenge what you can from what's washed up on the beach; but from then on, you're on your own.

Craft Your Own Tools:
Hundreds of items interact in strange and unexpected ways. Attach glow worms to spears to light your way. Attach explosives to make them deadly. Attach a rifle because - well, why not? Craft your own shelter, bridges and walls. Build traps to snare animals.

Explore the Environment:
Travel through beaches, caves and jungles. Swim through lakes and raft over oceans. Search for exotic crafting materials in hidden and deadly locations. Find your way home.

Game is breathtakingly beautiful. I would love to see this in a pay what you want model - this should sell more than Gnomoria imo. It doesn't hold the player's hand too much and with continued development this could be an indie game of the year.

I vote + for it. Instant purchase for me.

+1, have been interested in this for a while. Still haven't gotten around to checking out 'Under the Garden' though.

Have you tryed reaching him on twitter? @Farmergnome
Just on a side note, he also is working on the Steam version of Fistful of Gun.

I tried to contact one of developer (well, actually guy made art) via Youtube messages and asked them to contact back IGS. Hope it would be fruitful.
P.S. it seems i poking FarmerGnome too.

wohhh +1000, very cool style. The random generation video shows how much potential this game has in alpha.http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=6r6czNOPYA0

hmmm, a reply from farmergnome on that youtube post indicates they are going kickstarter soon.

also on Steam's early access list for $6.99 (assuming it counts as a steam game) - i think this early access thing is new, it has gnomoria and a host of others... http://store.steampowered.com/genre/Early%20Access/

+1 for this one. Though I kinda doubt the devs will be interested as this is already oin Steam Early Access.

I have enjoyed my early access copy I won from IGS community member LexieTanium's giveaway. This game shows tremendous potential, but is almost unplayable in it's current state. Despite the early access on Steam I still very much think this game could benefit from an IGS cash infusion.

I have REALLY high hopes for the finished product and have fingers crossed that the developers are able to see it through.

Great to hear good news about this game PR, thanks!
