The game about the sea made in the sea


On the other hand, the Making Of explaining how Koral was developed in a sailship got released too! The game was developed on a sailship in a pristine marine reserve in Northern Catalonia called Cap De Creus. Everything was recorded (including the trip to get there, a scuba diving adventure and various challenges that come from developing a game on a boat with limited power supply) and the most interesting parts are featured in the Making Of. Watch in on Youtube now.
