I want to mod this game...!
The concept is great, the artwork good, the athmosphere is sinister and brooding, with a feeling of imminent danger. I bought it immediately after watching MATN try it out. And for the first hours of playing, the game delivers on its promise. But. After a while, it becomes apparent that the "dangers" are merely "scares". I have had my boat damaged many times, but so far have only sunk once. The sea monsters as a rule don't hunt you; they make a warning attack on you, then let you escape. The progressive blindness once Panic sets in is scary at first, but then you realize that you never lose your map position or compass direction. Go slowly, use the map, you'll be just fine driving blind. Thus the sense of danger disappears, and with it, most of the sinister athmosphere. And we are left with a fishing game. As a fishing game, it is both too simple and too easy to be compelling to me. The boat does not handle like real boat. A real boat's rudder works if it has speed through the water. This boat can rotate while stopped, but can not make a curve using momentum and rudder as a real boat would. To change your direction of travel, you must apply thrust in the direction you want to go, like a rocket in a (very sticky) vacuum. Also, I would rather have had a machine telegraph style of throttle instead of hold forward for full speed ahead (only). Economics: Fish are worth too much, and there is no fuel cost to traveling across the map, so you get rich very quickly. Repairs are much too cheap, and never made a dent in my budget. To upgrade your boat, you need to dredge for materials. To upgrade fully, you need to dredge a lot, which is tedious. Why can't mundane materials be bought? I have tons of cash, after all. I want to mod this game. I want to love it, but I want the dangers to be dangerous (or at least costly), the boat to handle like a boat, and the economics to be more like Sunless Seas. Also, manual docking. Or maybe devs can add a hardcore mode?
