The Island: SOVIET EDITION (UPDATES)

A simple game made in the humble… SOVIET RUSSIA! ;D
Title:

Early alpha build:

OVERVIEW

It is a game of exploration. You may explore an infinite 2D world, consisting of islands with glorious treasures. You must survive hurricanes, bandits, thunderstorms and other evil characters. You can be a pirate and feed off the merits of others, or a hermit who takes a more peacefull route. Keep yourself well fed by fishing, farming, and hunting for food. Form alliences with others and form a pack to fend off bandits and greifers. It won’t be easy, but the rewards will be immense.

Would you buy this? I am considering distributing it for 309 rubles ( five dollars for americans).

HELP WANTED

I am looking for people to make sprites/textures and/or music
Pay is negotiatable, but I have no money so if the game makes money when i sell it I would split it equally with whoever assised in asset making.

Да здравствует Советская Россия !

Tad more info please , and the image doesnt work.

Oh and i’m also from SOVIET RUSSIA!

Probably because the image isn’t an image… Or a link even…

Upload your image to http://imgur.com/ it’s a pretty reliable host.

Might need to check the system time on your computer; it appears you’re about 24 years out of whack.

Someone is extremely proud they are from Russia… Looks cool but that “air” texture is strange looking. I would just use a one color texture, it would look a lot cleaner.

The graphics are painful on the eyes to say the least and your description is rather… confusing. Good luck anyways, one might suppose.

Sorry, if it is confusing, i do not know english, so i am using google translate. LONG LIVE SOVIET RUSSIA!!!

I am currently working on better textures

Ok will happen :slight_smile:
