Project Castaway is survival crafting title set in the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean. Hunt, gather, fell trees and embark on expeditions to traverse the ocean - discovering desert islands laden with unique resources.
Embark on the life of a true castaway - stranded on a deserted island, with just yourself for company. Scavenge or hunt for food, traverse from island to island and be carefully construct rafts & shelters for when the night comes - it can get awfully cold on these islands...
Being stranded has some upsides, at least. Explore beautiful Pacific landscapes. Swim through shimmering blue water to stand upon golden sands as waves crash against your feet. When the weather turns, take cover under palm trees as the rain pelts the ocean - and listen to the thunder crash overhead.
Use the natural materials surrounding you to construct a base - the key to your survival. Hunt animals, fell trees and scavenge ruined ships as you build your way to safety.
You best keep your wits about you - it can get lonely on these islands, and castaways have been known to lose their minds... Keep on top of your sanity and ensure that you're sleeping well - lest unnatural apparitions appear before you, seeking to take your life.

Hello castaways.
As promised on our previous post, we have completely overhauled the raft storage. While the physics-based one sounds good on paper, the reality is that it adds an unnecessary layer of complexity on both the technical aspect and the user experience. It had technical, gameplay and performance limitations. With this in mind, in addition of player feedback, we decided to create an UI-based storage that does not rely on physics and that can support all objects (weapons, resources, treasures, etc.).
The next patch should have the remaining localization included, a small-scale co-op beta (with access rolling out to more players in the coming weeks), mobile storage cart and improved randomized biome math, which will improve performance and open doors for more islands.
Wed truly appreciate a review if youre enjoying the update. For those who left negative feedback before, we invite you to give the game another try and check out the latest changes, as our updates has taken shape with player feedback in consideration.
Warm regards,
The project castaway team
