In non-fetish bad games there is Seasteader. https://store.steampowered.com/app/592550/Seasteader/ We've had some great threads on seasteading and I like management games so I was interested when I saw this one 5 years ago, but not $30 interested. I assumed the price was high so they could run 90% off at sales, but that never happened.

Tropico it ain't.

Sure, just plonk down a warehouse in the ocean, no need to build a platform first.
It does correctly model that the only inhabitants are white boys, future captains of industry making their way in this bold new frontier. The lack of women and children is undoubtedly a good thing.



Well this is an OSHA nightmare. Luckily there is no OSHA at sea. Not a handrail in sight. Random sections of open ocean between areas. I wonder if the game models how many drunks fall into the ocean each month? You know they're all drunk, because why would you live on a seastead if not to be blasted out of your mind on weasel dust all day?



Why are there lawns at sea? Maintaining a lawn is a terrible use of resources. And why are building made of brick? Is that a thing, if I visit an oil rig are the buildings all made of brick? I'm sure all the exposed wood will age very well exposed to salt spray all day. Why are all these young single men hanging lace granny curtains in their windows? It's almost like these art assets are lazy and generic, with nothing to do with the theme or setting.

lol the Gals Panic series started off fairy inoffensive for a boob game, three anime silhouette cutouts levels to reveal / display a chaste topless-only digitised pic of a Japanese lady (a GP1 cab somehow found its way to the seafront arcade near my childhood home and before long I could easily 100% all six 'Gals' without losing a life.)

Of course nothing stays innocent forever and soon New Fantasia was dropping full-pink 80s big-hair American nudes as level rewards (and also allowing you to play as The Terminator or Saddam Hussein, not to mention making the gameplay punishingly unfair to milk coins out of horny pockets)

All on MAME if you want to hunt the roms out...

From looking it up, it appears to be a combination of saltwater being hostile to the organisms that cause rot and specialized treatment. Frequent wet/dry cycles can cause warping and rot as well as a myriad of other factors. It's way more complicated than I initially thought.

Still not as bad as untreated fresh water though.

Also notable is the way the ocean just kinda sits where it is and ripples a bit, instead of rising in fury and tearing asunder the puny works of those who dare to trespass upon it (a favourite hobby of the actual ocean).

All you have to do is appease Poseidon with a little blood sacrifice, it's not so difficult. People forget about that step these days is the problem.

Basically to preserve things from an archeological standpoint they need to be wet and stay wet, dry and stay dry, or cold and stay cold. Chemical makeup of the surroundings helps, usually as mentioned due to being hostile to organisms that would disturb the remains. Hence why bog mummies are things, but there's no freshwater creek mummies, the fish ate them.

The all-woman dev team is cool but it definitely looks like most of the focus is on motion capture, voices and ‘fidelity’… not so much the actual game parts, based on what the demo apparently contains.

quote:

Features

- The Lost Weld is an exciting, fantasy-themed action-adventure game built using the Unreal Engine 5 game development platform.
- The game features a compelling, movie-like script recorded by some of the industry’s top voice-acting talents.
- Gameplay alternates between open world exploration, exciting action challenges, and dramatic in-game cutscenes.
- The game is being developed by an all-female team and has quickly attracted a strong following.
- The game includes a fully-orchestrated symphonic score in an "epic" romantic style.
Many aspects of the project, including 20,000-word script and all characters, are complete, and the first four levels are available as a prototype allowing about 45 minutes of game play. The full game will be about 6-8 hours long and is expected to be complete Q4 2022.

The recent thing was Valve banning a group of curators (all actually run by one person) who were using the system to acquire free keys to resell
