The atmosphere is charming as is the music, the relaxing gameplay compliments it well! The mini-map and direction notifiers are superb. The ability to reverse the boat would be nice
Thank you for your feedback, Kirblee. I'm glad you enjoyed it. The thing that surprised me most about the minimap myself is how easy it is to setup. The basic setup actually doesn't require one line of code. Just an orthographic camera that hovers over the player and looks directly down flat at the ground, and a TextureRect that uses a viewport texture from the minimap camera to display the whole thing. The icons on the minimap are nothing more than 3D Sprites sitting on another render layer, so only the minimap camera can see them. To zoom the map in and out, you can simply register a scrolling gui input and accordingly change the size of the orthografic camera appropriately, for example with lerp to make it shooth, or even better with a tween so it doesn't have to be updated every frame even if it's unnecessary.

Graphics are nice, and the mini map is cool! I think the gameplay could use some more variety or challenge, though, and I wish there were more sound effects. It would also be great to be able to move the boat in reverse.
Good job!
Nice casual game, nice work with the art love it. Game play is a bit slow however, maybe add some random dialog as you transfer passengers, great job!
+respect to anyone who makes a 3d game for a gamejam. That said, the game was quite easy. Not sure if it ramps up later or something, but if it did, I got bored before that happened lol.
