Out of interest What sort of stuff do you plan for the raft update, i take it that update will focus of sea adventures and other stuff you can do with the ocean.
would you ever consider a kickstarter?
Actually we would LOVE to do a kickstarter as we are pretty much living update to update at this point, but we are in New Zealand and kickstarter isn't currently supported here, so we have to find someone in the states who is trustworthy enough - easier said than done. That being said, we still want to wait a bit before doing a kickstarter (if we find someone) as I think the core features should be in before we go asking for huge sums of money (rafting, modding, random generation minimum), the public is probably getting a little sick of kickstarter's that over promise and under deliver by now (or atleast, I am). At least then they will have something solid to play, and will get something tangible for there $ (multi-player comes to mind).
Rafting will be a big one, we haven't 100% fleshed out what/how its going to play out, we are thinking time will pass much quicker on the ocean, and it will enter real-time when the player encounters events (finds food, discovers a island, shark attack, etc), visually we are thinking of zooming the camera MUCH further out, so the player can feel insignificant against a giant ocean full of crashing waves, storms and other dangers. The game will have an end point attached during the rafting update, and also the ability to visit other islands, its going to be a big update.
