(Due to your post #57 you stick to it) I try to post my humble thoughts on a convinced developer for a very last time (i guess). Another recent game lost all its drive because releasing the game with, in this case, tilt controls only. They were very, very convinced, too... Updating after...a not so good first impression takes some time, and another week with new releases is already starting to whipe out the memories of incomplete launched games from the past week. Lucky you if this only happens to me. I dare to say: Remember please, you only have ONE first impression, so use it wisely! I definitely will check out your beautiful looking game and i wish you good luck!
@ Pated: waiting for Seashine since way back then nice to see it's near! @ Qwertz, out of curiosity which game did you mean? Bike Up lost me with its tilt-only, was that it?
@Rin1221 : Thank you! Yes, Seashine will be available on iOS (and Android via Google Play and the Amazon appstore). @Qwertz555 : Thanks again for your feedback! However the tilt controls were removed some time ago and replaced by a much more intuitive swipe only control scheme. The testers are happy with it so it will be the only control mode available. Lesson learned. I'll never ever use tilt controls again! Some gifs from the previous pages: @ramzarules : Thanks for your support, much appreciated!
Release date! Hi folks! Good news, Seashine has a release date! The game will be available for free on the Apple App Store, Google Play, and the Amazon Appstore on August 23rd, 2015. Not long to wait until the jellyfish breaks out of its egg. As mentionned in a previous page, the game has been optimized to run even on old devices such as the iPad 1 on iOS 5.1 with the same quality of graphics and an average of 50 fps. So don't be scared to try it if your touch device is not up to date. Stay tuned for more details!
Free means not pay-to-play and in the case of Seashine, not pay-to-win either. Why do you think IAP are a bad thing? You shouldn't take the extremes we see in the industry as a common practice. :/
is this an endless or do you change it into level based? I have put this game into my watchlist since long time ago, first saw this on slidedb.com Definitely check this one once its out
@copaeci: Hey there! Yes I remember you and your blog. I won't forget to send you an early access early august so you can try it before everyone. The game is endless. Doing a level based game was just too much work for a single game dev and a short amount of time! But some of the levels are now in the endless gameplay. They are puzzles you find from time to time that can help you unlock special abilities.
Been waiting for this ... Seems like a year now . Glad u chose swipe over tilt most amazing looking game
...This is wicked! ...already looking forward to it..such clever us of lighting and I seriously dig that big fish trying to take a bite!
dang how can i missed this one x(. i know im gonna love this game, glad i dont have to wait that long like you guys since i just know that this game exist today wait, this is free on launch? any deeper info about how the IAP goes? ads maybe? or is there any one time unlock price for all features? f**k me when it comes to a game with great looking graphics.
Seashine Beta Hi guys! If you want to join the beta test for Seashine please fill this form. The beta access is open for iOS (via iTune's TestFlight), Android (via Google Play), and Fire OS (via Amazon). I am going to start sending the next Seashine Beta access invitations on August 10 (maybe a bit after on iOS). Here's a gif to make you wait in your egg until then: @C4ndi: Funny, I'm also very scared by the ocean and all underwater creatures, especially sharks and giant skids... So if I can make it you can make it too! It's a very good therapy for people like us, haha. @redribbon: Yes, it will be free on launch. There's no feature to unlock. You have a rare special element in the game giving you a boost of light. You can find it in chests while playing, buy some of it via IAP, or watch a video ad to get some of it. Please feel free to join the beta if you want to know more! Oh, by the way, I won't be able finish the special abilities for version 1.0.0 of the game. It will be on the first or second update (with no extra charge or IAP involvement). Waiting for your submissions!
That IAP sounds suspiciously like purchasing a continue? In a high-score-chasing game? Please say it ain't so.
It ain't so. Sorry I rectified my last post and removed the "last moment part" to prevent a confusion with continues. You can use that boost at any time, but it won't save you from all the ugly creatures and obstacles!
