Instructions

WASD/Arrows: Move around
Mouse: Look around
Left-Mouse: Splat blood into the water

Features

• Vector based water flow, authored inside the Unity Editor, vector fields can be changed at run time too(at a price).
• Surface debris that runs on the current.
• Reflection, refraction and water depth.
• Flowing water colour, comes in two flavours:
  Constant: continually pump sewage into the water plane, pump clean water into the system from a pipe, water washing through a pile of rubbish can pick up that tasty green hint.
  Dynamic: splat blood on the water surface when that zombie takes a hit, kick up silt as your characters run through shallow water and watch it dissipate.

The Future

• Rigidbodies float in the water and get caught in the current.
• Surface splashes
• Surface foam with density maps

Among the various fixes and improvements, this update includes an all new theme: Christmas!

So, here we have some of the models in all their glory. This was a fun one for me because I got to try my hand at texturing. Thanks to Hannes for all his patience with me, and as always thanks to Xavier for the great meshes!

These cannons were used in an iOS Augmented Reality app we built, in which an interactive cannon fires at a seamonster that emerges from a business card. The truly excellent work comes from Master 3D Modeller Xavier, and Master Texture Artist Hannes, with a few concept sketches from myself.

Check out this video of the app in action!

That’s all for now, back to work to bring you more awesome games. Keep an ear to the website for more news.

Cheers!

With the concept work on these guys done, I handed it off to Xavier and Hannes, who did the 3D modelling and texturing respectively. You can see more of their fantastic work over at the Asset Crafting page.

That’s all for now, but more is to come!

We’re very excited of course, as it was a product of a lot of love and labour from our dedicated team, and we here at RetroEpic want to thank everyone involved with helping us getting it out there.

So, in the spirit of giving back to our fans and customers, we’re dropping the retail price of Uberboat 2 down to $10, and every preorder (including existing ones) will include a copy of A Day in the Woods free!

Aside from that a lot of exciting projects, ideas and developments are buzzing around the RetroEpic offices, keeping us busy and on our toes, so stay tuned to your favourite lil’ indie developers blog for more info as it happens!

Salut!
