I’m so happy to share this news, Nauticrawl has a game-design Deep Dive post on Gamasutra!
If you’re not familiar with Gamasutra’s series of Deep Dives (admittedly, that’s the most fitting name that could have ever hosted anything related to Nauticrawl!), here’s the official description:
The Gamasutra Deep Dives are an ongoing series with the goal of shedding light on specific design, art, or technical features within a video game, in order to show how seemingly simple, fundamental design decisions aren't really that simple at all.

Nauticrawl’s development was one heck of a journey because of its experimental mix of many diverse gameplay elements, so I’m just very happy whenever I get an opportunity to dissect some of that process and how it led to the final result. A big thank you to Gamasutra for the opportunity to share some of this journey with you all.

The journey is not over though, please help us spread the word about this unique game!
If you’ve purchased the game, thank you so much! Please consider leaving a review. They help us more than you will likely every know and we’re grateful for your thoughts.
