Use cash to buy patrol ships? oh, and I thought of this earlier: Geographic Hazards. Shallow reefs that the large cargo ships cant travel through, Islands, etc
Don't get caught up with the graphics. This was just a sneak peak to show what the dev is working on. This is not a final version
I still fail to see the bad graphics. Flight Control looks even worse, with less colors. Yet people never complain because it's "stylistic". It's the same case here. It doesn't look all that bad.
Taking a look at it again, what kills it for me is the dock perspective. It is falt and 2D against a 3D-styled shore. The dock seems plain and a bit of an eye-sore.
I agree. The boats are view top down, while the trees are view from an angle. Either have everything at an angle or everything top down. (Preferably the latter)
This reminded me of Sky Babes vs Fly Boys with the cargo and how much can hold more than it did of Flight Control.
This is all great feedback, guys. Very helpful. We're definitely going to work very hard to polish up the graphics. I'll post up new art as we get it. This is an incredibly fun game, and we want the look to be equally impressive. In the meantime, we are getting some awesome feedback from out initial beta testers. People are getting hooked. Some people even expressed that - dare I say it? - Harbor Master is more fun than Flight Control. Hard to beat that Given how helpful all this feedback has been so far, I think we're going to need more beta testers than we originally thought. So keep checking back here if you're interested in beta testing. As soon as the graphics are more polished up, we'll start recruiting people. The more the merrier.
Glad you're excited, kfred. I'll definitely post back here when we're ready for a public beta. No estimated date yet, since we seem to be late for just about everything recently We had a big pow-wow with our great artist yesterday, and should hopefully have some new art to post here soon!
I just had a HUGE idea for this game! steal an element from space ninja and allow slow motion where it zooms in too! Also, turbo boost by double tapping the ship will double the speed. Just a way to separate it a little.
