I have been playing through Seaman for the first time in 23ish years. I definitely never got this far, and only remember the first fish phase from when I played it years ago. I completely misremembered this game. It's not at all what I expected...

Firstly, Seaman's chat is absolutely terrible. What is the point of the questions that effectively lead nowhere? They only seem to exist to give context for the dull monologues on evolution or the problems of television which inevitably follow.

The air and temperature mechanisms are pointless, and only add to the tedium. I understand that the game wants me to care for seaman regularly, but why make that such a chore?

I am currently at the 'tadmen' stage, and have been for two weeks or so. Nothing is happening. The tadmen don't even need feeding. Can I do anything to speed on to the next phase?

Clinging on to playing this game for so long would have been a miracle in 2003. That's probably why I never got past the fish stage.

Seaman told me to celebrate Andy Warhol's birthday today, but google says his bday was August 6th not the 26th. I went to the menu and the date is accurate so I wonder why they got it wrong.

First introduced to seaman when I was about 16 and thought it was one of the most interesting games ever.

Fast forward 16 years and after a few months of playing on my Logitech g cloud I finally finished the game. It was great and well worth the time investment and weird looks from my family.

him and the This Man plushie are having a moment

i just got seaman a few weeks ago, which was a game i was looking for 3 years. when i first got it, on day 3, i left it on the screen for about an hour or so until i realized all my fish died of suffocation or the cold or something. anyways i was wondering if i CAN keep the game running, without having to check in on it every 5 min to set the heater. idd love for it idle in the background, like an actual fish tank. i find the ambience really relaxing and think it would be nice to have in my room.
also about how often should i adjust the heater/oxygen if i cant simply let it run.

This is my Seamail collection both versions of Seamail(1.0 & 1.0J), mug and mousemat.

my seaman collection!! seaman pro shop thing is a sticker on a trunk I have :)

Heya, I forgot to share this link to the subreddit months ago

This is for running Seamail in modern windows. I haven't worked on it in a few months, it isn't complete, and due to the tools used for it (specifically Frida) I would be careful about running Steam at the same time as it can be used for cheating etc, but you can get to experience the joys of Seaman in all of his many variations and sizes

Hey all, new here. I'm doing my first playthrough of seaman ever and am rather disappointed. The first couple days with my gillmen I could talk with them and they would babble back to me, but as soon as they started forming complete sentences it's like the mic is broken. I can't get them to understand or even hear anything I say. I don't have the message to "connect the microphone" since the accessory is connected to the vmu slot. I have tried with 2 controllers now, but they just don't seem to hear me when I say anything. Been holding down A for a second, saying "hello" from different distances, and still getting nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I know all the voicelines are available on youtube, but I remember there also being a pastebin or a similar website with all of them transcribed and I can not find it now. Does anyone have it?

My 13YO Son got it for Christmas with his Dreamcast but was missing the mic, so a month ago he imported a japanese copy to get its mic, so he played his North American Copy Yesterday and Today using some Time Skip and he almost Beat it, he loves the Game he said it knows my Health my Birthday his Birthday and his Fathers Birthday, is Seaman Dangerous?

EDIT: I ended up finishing the game a day or two after posting this. Thanks for all of your help!

Been loving this game so much! I am at a point though where my frogman is no longer talking to me. It’s been that way for more than a day, he keeps saying “nah, come back tomorrow” or something to that effect. The last question he asked was if I had seen a therapist, two nights ago. According to guides I’ve read the next topic on his mind is supposed to be politics.

Worse than that, the two frogmen have a huge appetite, and I’m having trouble keeping up with it using the insect cage. I check on them twice a day (morning before work and at night before bed) and BOTH times they BOTH ask to be fed. I keep wondering when one will finally eat the other.

Currently in the cage I have four moths, one cocoon, one larva who has grown a lot, and two larvae that are still small. For the past few days there has been one spider hatching (which I drop into the tank and exit the game before they can eat it, so they don’t get sick). Despite having four moths I only ever see two eggs at a time- is there any point to having more than one moth? I fed one of them to a frogman today hoping it would satiate its appetite longer. Usually I just feed them the most recently hatched larvae but they’re asking to be fed at a quicker pace than the moths successfully produce two larvae.

I thought that unlocking the sprinkler this morning might help things move along, but still nothing. Does anyone have any advice for this stage of the game?

oops, accidentally had the video set to private. fixed now:

My progress on getting Seamail translated and running in Windows 11 with a bunch of fixes and tooling. I plan to share the patches and tooling (no original game code) once I'm done. It's still using all of the original game files (I originally planned to recreate in threejs, but I worked out how to get it running with the original rendering etc). There were some pretty gnarly crashes caused by running it without the fixes.

The extra menu bits (underneath the circle of icons) are from the game files but added there for triggering the overlay, clicking on screen, tickling etc, as this setup can't click on seaman himself atm (yet?).

I can also override the age of Seaman and his colour scheme (there were multiple sets of Seaman DNA with different patterns that can breed together). It looks like that was originally cut content as I have yet to see anyone talking about it, as with a bunch of other features, but its all there.

I love that if you load old MS Clippy he has a message for him etc.
