Description
Buoyancy is a city-building strategy game set in an ocean world. The game combines elements of city building, survival, rogue-like, simulation, and real-time strategy. Build your great city from rubbish. Harvest and manage resources, productivity, fires, and sickness. Defend against pirates. Expand your city and interact with others.
History
The six founding members met each other at the Academy of Interactive Entertainment in Seattle, WA. Finals for the school are based on a 5-month long video game production; this led to the creation of Buoyancy. The team worked hard those 5 months and the game was well received throughout its production. After showcasing it at the Seattle Indie Games Festival 2018 and garnering positive feedback, the team decided to form a company to make Buoyancy a commercial release.
