A downloadable game

Slowly build out your raft using plastic and other trash from the ocean. Craft items to help you prosper, like a sail to travel to an oil spill, or plastic raft tiles to expand your raft.


Below is the original idea and progression path for the game, which I unfortunately couldn't implement in full:

  • Collect plastic, cloth, metal, and trash
    • Craft plastic raft tiles
    • Craft a fishing rod from metal poll and cloth
    • Craft a net to catch items from further away
    • Craft a sail with cloth. Sail to oil spill
  • Make fire with the player character’s glasses (or a magnifying glass)
    • Fuel with cloth or oil
    • Use fire to cook food
  • To smelt metal into more useful stuff:
    • Craft a rope with cloth
    • Craft a bucket with metal
    • Use the bucket and rope to get clay from the ocean floor
    • Put clay over fire to make bricks
    • Use bricks to make furnace
  • Use furnace and oil to break down metals into specific ingots
    • Smelt to copper, iron, steel, aluminum, whatever
    • Craft reinforced raft tiles
    • Craft better tools
    • Craft wire from copper and plastic
  • To generate power with oil:
    • Craft a boiler with steel or iron or something
    • Craft a turbine with wire and metal
    • Craft a generator with wire and steel/iron
    • Use a furnace, a boiler, and a generator to make electricity
    • Byproducts: fresh water and brine
  • Craft a motor with wire, some metals, and connect it to your power generation
  • Craft a drill and mine rocks on the seafloor
  • Craft a battery with more advanced seafloor metals
