Gamers!
Flooded has evolved a lot over the months. It started as a tiny project, developed into the demo that’s still available on Steam, and moved to the form in which it is now. And I have to admit it's not over yet. There is still a long way to go before I get to the place where I wanted to be.
One of the things I had in mind from the very beginning are biomes.. I knew from the start that I would like to provide you with a variety of levels on which you will be able to face the challenges that Flooded holds. Right now let's focus on the Calm Ocean, the Rocky Ocean, and the Toxic Ocean.
Calm Ocean
The "basic" stage in Flooded is the Calm Ocean. However, it also has some characteristic elements. It’s definitely interesting that here you will be able to see a lot of buildings known from the real world (treat them as easter eggs to capture ;)).
The island is characterized by a large number of obstacles and relatively many trees. It also features an exclusive mechanic of "Sea Silence", which means that every once in a while the wind may stop blowing, rendering the windmills useless for that period, as they can't produce energy.
Rocky Ocean
You will definitely not run out of mobile service here, and Wi-Fi should also work well. This is due to the numerous radio and cellular network antennas that surround Rocky Island. You never know when you’ll want to play Candy Crush during a break from saving the world, so it’s cool…
There are no trees on the island, but you can notice various ores and a lot of stones. Moreover, occasional earthquakes can occur - they won’t only damage buildings, but can also create cracks in the ground. Dangerous and somehow exciting!
Toxic Ocean
I have recently mentioned the Toxic Ocean on my social media (links below - feel free to follow). Here you can definitely find more trees than stones and many industrial buildings around the island.
As if that was not enough, you can spot oil stains around the island. Be aware of them, because they will impair the productivity of filters. Still not scared? Sometimes you can encounter acid rain that damages trees, buildings, and units. It's not easy to work in such conditions!
First things first…
As I mentioned, this is just a chunk of what awaits you in the full version of Flooded. However, you can already see that depending on the biome, you’ll have to take a different approach. It may turn out that what gives juicy fruits in one place, will be a path to quick failure in another.
A good hero will always adapt, though, so good luck!
See ya!
