This is not floating-metal-hulk-simulator 2016, people, our submarines need engines! A few decades ago, we showed off pre-alpha screenshots that featured a Cyclops submarine. The Cyclops is the first major...

    Poor forum robutt.
    That engine room looks very starcitizeny.
    by that i mean, i can see MANY BUTTONS I CAN PRESS WHICH DO NOTHING USEFUL BUT MAKE ME FEEL GOOD ABOUT PRESSING BUTTONS.

    Translation: I like buttons - give me more buttons.

    also, nice fish.

    If your sub doesnt have a silent mode, you did it wrong!

    Also.. I cant wait to sink this bugger and I dont mean the going back up kind.. I assume we have scenarios also where we can curse at our screen as our expensive sub is going to the fishies? :D

    @DC_Darkling here's a WIP vid by Sylvain of some in progress Submarine waterspray/leaking effects:

    Short answer: Yes, you can sink these machines :)

    /queue evil laugh.

    Does this also include you can flood different compartments?
    Like how to get to your shiny engineroom if a inbetween section is flooded?

    Or perhaps to demanding? As its ya know, a exploration game?

    More importantly, can we join other players' games and wreck their submarines? :D

    Would sinking machines also entail details like player drowning?

    Subnautica is a purely single player game. It's fun to think about multiplayer submarine crews though!

    At the moment, whenever a player is immersed in water, they start breathing using their SCUBA. It is possible to run out of oxygen though!

    Purely singleplayer. Obviously the dev team will dream about what they could do with some form of multiplayer but all work is on getting a good single player experience working.

    It would be great if, when subs get damaged and started taking on water, that you can use bulkheads to block off routes, and also have options to release water from locked rooms that are not leaking. Kind of like the way you can open doors to allow the vacuum of space to put out fires in FTL.

    Personally i'd be highly disapointed if it were a multiplayer game.
    Almost every game has or is designed for multiplayer. (be it via lan or via the internets)

    Having a singleplayer only game from time to time is refreshing. anyway gentlemen - back to drooling all over the porn Concept art.

    Awesome!

    Also to clarify - i don't dislike the idea of exploring the seas with your friends. I just dislike designing the game AROUND multiplayer.

    Whats the point of putting it in the game at all if you don't design around the addition of co op multiplayer? Many games are single player games that play well with co op because they are designed to.

    Definitely. That design (and engineering!) work takes time, effort, and expense though. With Subnautica, we are putting that time, effort and expense into creating an amazing single player experience, instead of stretching ourselves across too many goals. Too much stretching leads to breaking!

    Never fear though, Unknown Worlds is still very much focused on multiplayer games as well. Combat is coming, and so is something else.

    Both multiplayer and singleplayer games can be fun. Let's see if we can make (with your help!) a great singleplayer game :) !

    Said devs of KSP and dont starve, but they changed their minds after great multiplayer mods were made.

    Hopefully the same will happen for SN.

    Quite a recent thing, afaik. I just found out a week ago. (I lost track of the game with version .18...) Apparently it's not in the game yet.
    Looking at how vehemently the devs were against multiplayer in any form, this is really surprising.

    So... nothing is written in stone ;)
