Submarine Playground by Yngar

[raw]
made by Yngar for LD29 (JAM)
Play around with a submarine in this unfinished game! I made the classic Ludum Dare blunder getting bogged down with non-essential code and never got around to making the actual game part.

You can captain this unrealistic submarine around, fight other submarines, and sink battleships! You can't die and there is no win or lose condition, just play around if you like. I'll try to actually add a game mode in the next couple of days.

To control use the mouse to look and click to fire torpedoes. W moves the ship forward, S moves back. Shift makes the sub move up and ctrl moves down. The spacebar will ascend very quickly if you need to dodge torpedoes, get to the surface in a hurry, or do some sweet jumps. The controls can be changed in the offline version so you don't need to suffer mine if they are terrible.

Defiantly got a cool game on your hands with enough extra hours put in.
Loved the models of the ships there was some nice detail in there
I hate having to drop projects because I didn't prioritize my coding XD
Good luck with the rest of the game.

looks like a good start, would like to see the game when it is more complete. I have made the same kind of mistakes before.

Man, seriously, flying with that submarine to take out some ships is amazing ! You should totally make that the main mechanic haha

I'm glad to hear that people are having fun with it. I'll try to expand on it and get it to an actual release.

You should make an MMO out of this (similar to Eve but under the surface! :D)

Awesome graphics to complete in 72 hours and a very cool concept. I'd like to see this game in 2 months after you've been working on it for a long time (if you intend too). I has potential!

"felt more like a dolphin than a submarine" -- agreed, change the model from a submarine and you could have Echo the Dolphin in 3D. :D Nice shaders!

I see other people like jumps :D This was fun. I actually sank the small ship by jumping on him. Good job.

I got to experience what it was like to a dolphin for once in my life. And a dolphin that shoots rockets, no less. 10/10.
