Hi, yeah i thought if i would be a boat/diver with a sonar and pick up the treasures for making money, there would be no stuff left at the bottom to give me a sonar feedback anymore? i would remove the sonar feedback after the player has found the treasure.
And at first the player has to understand that rocks and fish give also a sonar response.
I enjoyed the game.
Took me a minute to understand how, but it is definitely possible to triangulate the treasure using the audio cues alone. The different objects in the water helped out quite a bit with figuring that out.
Maybe there should be a bonus for harder missions, since atm it seems like the best way to play is just to repeat the easiest mission (unless I missed something).
Yes you're right. The global game loop is not finished, there is no final goal.
And indeed I though I would let the players understand the meaning of the different sonar sounds (and how to explain them quickly? lol). Perhaps it's a bit too complex for a gamejam. Having the same ping for all kind of objects was an option also.
A very cool idea! Only with the signal you either messed up something, or overcomplicated, because I could not fully figure out how to interpret the received signals :(
