I have been thinking of cruise ship based sandbox game as it would keep the environment small enough. Any recommendations on games which happen fully or partly on cruise ship. Don't need to be sandbox as other game styles can easily have ideas which could be further incorporated on the game. Also any suggestions on Cruise Ship related 3D assets (Daz, Blender, Other) would be appreciated.

Okay, so I am not a game dev. So unfortunately I can't help with asset related questions. But the idea of a cruise ship off the top of my head is good idea. There are many different ways I can think of a cruise game.
1. A realistic approach with a normal cruise ship you pick up passengers and staff. Maybe you stop at Port and pick up some local Caribbean hotties.
2. You could have a Sex boat cruise where the cruise is all about sex- bdsm shows for entertainment, exhibitionists, and other related kinks worked in to the theme of the cruise.
3.an unrealistic approach where this cruise is not even on earth and it goes Port to Port with each place being a different fantasy. The cruise could sell mind control pills or devices or whatever. loli?
Maybe throw in a murder or a mystery that can move the plot forward and create some intrigue after your done fucking the hot Milf captain.
Regardless good luck on your idea.

Daz has at least one pretty complete cruise ship...

. It looks pretty inclusive, but I don't know if it has the internal cabins. If it doesn't, I can't imagine it would be all too difficult to find another resource for interior scenes.
I was thinking more in the way of having certain cast having 1 or 2 week cruise. But it might be also nice story to have the more or less fixed crew on the ship seducing new people taking the cruise.
Maybe. This goes bit far from my original idea of having maybe bit corruption / public shennigans where some of the other cruise goers would not approve, if you get caught.
I am not really into sci-fi or space stuff. And If I put enough time to make something good, I would probably want to make it so that it will be Steam compatible as the big money moves in there.
That actually sounds nice. It would add more gameplay elements to the game.
Thanks.
Thanks. That looks nice. Maybe bit more retro than what I had in mind, but could be worked with. At least from the previews it seems that it is indeed lacking indoors, but those resources would be easier to find or even model more workable cabin. Of course could go with some 1920's theme as the boat as environment would make it reasonable to find mostly period stuff (I think lot of audience is so young that they can't tell 1920's or 1950's apart
).I had totally forgotten that one. I played the developers original space game, but never really got into this second one. Need to check it out. The setting if I remember correctly is more intimate than what I had in mind.
Most of the games I've seen that take place on a boat, even in part, are mostly luxury yachts, not ocean liners, unfortunately.
Yeah. Welcome Aboard seems to be about Mediterranean cruise and also seems to be using the before mentioned ship model. But have not seen others. Maybe should check out the old Leisuresuit Larry game which was on cruise ship. It's been I think20+ years since I have played it last.
Thanks. I will check that one out.
I think the best option, if you want to stick with Daz, is to find and import one from another format.... Daz doesn't seem to have a lot of selection where modern cruise liners are concerned. But I'm betting with a bit of looking you could find one in maybe .fbx format or something.
If you're trying to flesh out internals, modern cruise ships have restaurants, theaters, even a casino.
i lost $300 in a cruise casino
i think Cure My Addiction by TheGary is like that ... at least Chapter 1 ... its not a CRUISE ship, but its "close" enough
All ships size matter XD

Sunville has a large scene (maybe more appropriate to think of it as a full chapter) set on a private cruise ship with multiple different rooms/sections and characters.
those are some pretty cool ideas
