Under the Sea Aaarrrgh!

[crevver]

I changed gears and shifted away from space for a bit and decided to try my hand at an underwater theme. There's a couple out there for the Gear that I liked (Ocean Rift and Deep Blue) It sounded like fun and there are a few things I wanted to figure out with underwater graphics and physics. Still lots to do, but a good start.

The build requires DK2 (Leap is optional but awesome)

I spent the last couple days building out an underwater themed experience. It's become different enough from the Space Station prototype that I think it warrants it's own thread. Yesterday I started developing some interactive jellyfish, and they are coming along nicely, lots of physics issues with these guys, but it's been one day, so I'll figure it out.

I'll update soon with better interactivity and some game events and activities.

Next up is fixing the physics issues, adding in some interactivity to the Skeleton (I added a pirate skeleton to play with too), more fish doing more stuff, 3D plants (billboard thing is annoying), maybe a speargun...

I spent a little time today and fixed up the jellyfish, much more realistic behavior and stable, and you can play with them without wrecking them. I also updated the pirate skeleton, starting to think about some fun uses for him, for now he just marches around the treasure saying "Dead Men tell no tales".

Next up is adding in some fish/sharks and giving them some behavior, then interactivity and objectives for the player. I want to fix the billboard plants too to be 3D.

For the next revision, how bout a speargun, or maybe a sword?
