After seven years since my last Global Game Jam I finally came back to this event, this time in a different country, a different stage of life and with completely new strangers. We went for a cozy game with treasure hunt mechanics and exploration as the focus, and most of my input as a programmer was on environment mechanics and rendering.

Overview

Bubble Salvage is a cozy marine adventure where players explore the sea to rescue lost treasures, managing their air supply while navigating the ocean floor. Each dive uncovers new wonders and challenges.

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