After seven years after my last Global Game Jam I went back to it again, this time in completely different country, a different stage of life and completely new strangers, this was an adventure that was worth taking and a good reminder on how much I love working within a team and getting the ball rolling.

This time we went for a more cozy game with treasure hunt mechanics and exploration as focus. Most of my input as a programmer was on environment mechanics and rendering.

Overview

Bubble Salvage is a cozy marine adventure that invites players to explore the mysteries of the sea. Dive into vibrant underwater worlds to rescue lost treasures. Manage your precious air supply, and navigate through the vast ocean floor. With each dive uncovers new wonders and challenges. Bubble Salvage offers a relaxing yet thrilling journey through the wonders deeps below.

The game was made with Unity, the game jam project page; which has executables and source code can be found here.
