**Last post got tagged as spam, not sure why. This is a free demo, made for the geeks and gamers community, if anyone is removing this by hand can you contact me and explain the problem?

Sup Geeks and Gamers, first time poster, long time lurker. I’m an indie developer and I’m looking to collaborate with you crazy sons of bitches.

It’s probably dumb, but this is the first and only place I’ve decided to drop my demo. If it resonates with you and you can bring this to the attention of the MODs, Jermy, Marc the Cyborg, Rippa, Jay, etc. it would be greatly appreciated!

I realize this forum doesn’t get that much traffic, but between the passion, dedication, and ambition of Geeks and Gamers, I can’t think of any group of misfits I’d rather take this Indie journey with. There are other avenues I could pursued that have more capital and connections, but you guys are the most real. I think SeaCrit “fits” with Geeks and Gamers.

Maybe the game sucks, maybe no one sees this forum post. I realize that this is “unprofessional” to post this here. But I take pride in being unprofessional. I don’t have any connections, I don’t have funding, I don’t have any support right now outside of my own elbow grease. But you know what else I haven’t done professionally? Exploited anyone to get here, thrown anyone under the bus, or taken any fans for granted. I’m excited as hell to finally be making this post among fellow gamers in the culmination of a lot of hard work.

I’m sure you guys can relate: Fuck it, no one else is making decent shit, why not us?

So let’s make a kickass experience, revive gaming, and monetize the haters along the way.

What are you waiting for!? Fight a piranha or two!:

Quick follow-up!

If any of you guys have any suggestions (Does it take too long to earn pearls? Is a specific enemy too hard/easy?) I would be VERY appreciative to hear your feedback. I can upload new builds with your suggestions.

it looks great :o

is there like an evolution system (like maneater lol) ?

 

Good luck with the project, hope you succeed and create more cool games.

[IllTemperedTuna]

Thanks Hazu, Yeah I had an evolution system about a year back, it just made too much sense since I had baby sharks and full grown sharks so I added that. But it just didn’t feel right so I ended up scrapping it, now you “evolve” by buying new fish archetypes and leveling up your damage and HP.

Glad you dig it!

This looks good and you made this with little to no funding, I am impressed. If I was someone with a crap ton of money and company  I would definitely hire you to make a game for me. 😀

Maybe you create a game based on my question about people meeting up with their parallel selves? 😀

[IllTemperedTuna]

ha! Thanks blood ranger, interesting thought!

Hope that GeeksandGamers contacts you and that you have a list of goals. Not my place to say, but I like that game developers will offer their services. It’s exactly the kind of thing that they should be looking to bring into their umbrella. Games. Games, comics, film, other digital novelties.

[IllTemperedTuna]

Thanks for the well wishes, comicsgate. Obviously a lot of people would like help making their projects, there are a lot of people attempting exactly this, and it’s hard to get your name out there amidst all the noise.

I really hope you guys give this and will help me to get this in front of the right people here, it’s actually pretty fun if anyone wants to give it a play.

Come on guys, try it out! You might like it!

The game looks great, reminds me a little to  E.V.O. but focused on the ocean with many more power ups, definitely  G+G team should contact you for a project or at least to promote your work. It’s true the forums doesn’t seem to have lot of traffic but the mods are very active and surely could inform Jeremy or anyone else on the team.

[Palpatine]

E.V.O was such a fun game.

[Hazu]

I suggest investing some time on social media (Instagram + twitter + youtube) so people can follow you and be updated about your project(s). If you keep working on this game, it deserves an official account on those social medias. ;) Then we try to help it, sharing and retweeting, etc.

Cheers

Just got a web build up so it’s easier for you guys to try (Web build doesn’t have the geeks and gamers specific content, that’s in the PC build)

EVO is a huge inspiration for this game! Years ago you could mix and match your fish body and fish head, that was directly inspired from EVO

I may try to build up a following on social media, not really my forte but i need a break from direct dev so definitly thinking about it, I also want to get this on steam.

One day at a time, thanks for all the input guys!
