Where the player stands in the room, is identical to where the players stands on the raft. VR can also have some downsides, like motion sickness, and because of this, no teleporting is neccessary in this game. Fully in VRAfloat is a game that can only be played using VR headset, to achieve maximum immersion. Luckily for you, the river that you are following is full of useful resources, that can help you in this endeavour. Using your survival skills, you have try to make your way back to society. About AfloatYou have crashlanded in the jungle, and somehow you awake on a raft, with only a grappling gun and a tablet with building blueprints beside you. Have you ever though about what would happen to you, if you would crashland in the jungle? What if, you had to gather your water and food by yourself, in order to survive? In Afloat, you can use virtual reality, and see if you've got what it takes. The best way to do this, would be through the steam community hub.” “I hope the VR community can be involved in this project, since every suggestion or feedback is welcome. How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process? “The price of the game will increase when its's fully released, but while in early access, the price will stay the same.” Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access? You can already gather, craft, fish, cook, build and fight hostile creatures.” What is the current state of the Early Access version? I would also love to listen to the players, and possibly add any features that are requested by the community.” Next to that, I will also be working on adding more different biomes, and fixing bugs. “For the full version, I would like to add a lot more variety to the objects that can be used, and add more tools, crafting recipes, and buildables. How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version? “The aim is that Afloat will be released in the spring of 2020” Early acces is a great platform for this, allowing for player feedback, and the chance to incorporate ideas.”Īpproximately how long will this game be in Early Access? "I believe it's different in the States.“Afloat is in eary access, because it's a great way to involve the the VR community, in creating a fun and interesting building/survial game in VR. "In Sweden's universities there's only like a pass," Bengtsson tells me. We think that's what makes it unique and exciting."įor a game that started as a student project Raft's certainly done well for itself. We think that it's a genre people recognize, the survival genre, but instead of having this vast open land to run for miles on you are trapped on a very small piece of land that you can yourself expand and make your own basically. "We've discussed this a lot and I'm not sure we have an exact answer. Raft is a Survival Game developed by Redbeet Interactive and published by Axolot Games. We thought it would be an OK release and we were hoping for a great release, but this was beyond what we expected, definitely."Īs for why theirs has been the latest survival game to win the Steam lottery-why Raft in particular appeals to so many people-he's still not sure. "We expected it do well, because we already had a community from the itch prototype and we were keeping in touch with some YouTubers, stuff like that. When Redbeet launched the Early Access version on Steam, complete with multiplayer, they weren't convinced it would sell. Steam is full of indie games that didn't top the charts in spite of the number of views their Let's Plays racked up. Games with comedy physics or the occasional horror game still benefit from the 'tuber bump, but the most popular channels have audiences who are there for the personality behind them, not for game recommendations. Even so, the glory days of YouTubers making or breaking indie games like Goat Simulator are behind us.
