I would really like to be able to swim in this game. One thing which annoyed my in Terraria was how your character would simply just sink in the ocean and drown. I would love to be able to swim (although obviously there are benifits to sinking - walking along the bottom), but I think maybe this could be done with holding the jump button to swim (much like flying with jetpacks), and if you let go you start to sink again slowly. I just love the idea of the sea Biome being more vertical as well, rather than just being all about the surface and the bottom.
Of course. Swimming will be in the game, or I hope so at least. But I don't think you'll find lots of lakes, since you'll be in space .
Haha. I don't think they'll be much play time actually in space, as it's gonna be on planets, and they have confirmed Ocean Planets, which would be awesome with a good swimming mechanic
If both gymnastics and swimming will be in the game then gymnastics could teach you some more cool stuff like jumping of walls like a baws? And about swimming, you should first learn how to swim and then like train at the swimming instructor npc
I think it would be cooler if maybe every time you pressed jump your guy kicked in the water... so you could press it a couple times to go up a bit, or REALLY FAST to get to the surface if you're drowning! It would be an effort to cross a body of water... but isn't swimming a long way hard enough already? Especially considering you could be wearing heavy gear.
well from what I've been seeing, (don't pin this 100% on me) but the devs have noted that space travel will be "non-graphical".
I think some heavy armors should make you sink and some armor's let you float. Just standard you would just bob and be slow.
Anyone here played Majora's Mask? Remember Zora link? I totally want to be able to swim like that. Or even be able to ride a dolphin creature. And if you are swimming at high speed, and angle yourself out of the water, you can launch yourself out of the water before arcing back in.
Yea, there was some videogame where like the entire game was comprised of doing exactly that... I dunno what it was though.
Well this is true only if you have something weighing you down. It is pretty easy to float without effort using the deadman floating method(works facing upwards as well). I imagine if your wearing armor and holding big things you would be very much correct and sink like a rock. On swimming in the game... One of the screenshots shows a character in the water swimming. Untill a dev says it is not in the game I will assume it is.
Oh god, another excellent idea. Depending on what your armor's made off (how much it weights) and what you're carrying, that's the more you drown.
I would suggest specialised aquipment for swimming, such as screw propellors you could attach to your back, or water jets, as well as more familiar equipment, like flippers and scuba gear. Maybe some equipment could be used to actually steer through the water, giving you greater control so that you could manuevre as well as some underwater mobs.
