Only second-hand, from someone streaming on Twitch (Ridgedog, to be exact). He didn't go deep into it. What mainly got me thinking of it here is the whole animal traits transferred to the player side of it. -
@Arbhall Those suit ideas to me sounds more like effects of DNA transfusion, honestly. But they do sound like useful ways to apply that. I definitely like the whole "win s…

You misunderstand me. It's not impossible to implement mouse+key controls and have then work okay. But it is impossible to make them work as well as joystick controls. Simply cannot be done.

@Davycannonhound Done and done.

By request from @Davycannonhound I'm reposting my suggestions from a separate thread:
So we all know that the Subnautica world is full of godawful fang… -
Re. stalkers: Scrap metal from the wreck of the Aurora most likely represents a supernormal stimulus for them. Maybe they normally use shards of coral or other colorful m…

Yeah, I can see the hoop-fish. Big mouth like that, looks to have teeth - makes some sense as a swimming predator. I'm interested in what role the hoops on it might play there. Sensory organs? Deterrents against its own predators (its inability to f…

@Wolf2000 Eh, I'm more a 'death of the writer' type, who thinks a work can stand on its own legs, or fall on them as it were. I'm hugely happy with the biotope in Subnaut…

In the ocean, apart from a few kelp-grazing species, almost everything is a predator. it's just a question of prey size. A garry might be a terror to inch-long creatures, but nothing much bigger than that. Hardly a major threat to … -

That's impossible. One or the other is going to work out better, and there's a reason why you don't see mice used to control vehicles in the real world. Ever. -
In an ideal world, you'd have a six-axis rotational control of it and at least two-axis propulsion, i.e. roll/pitch/yaw + forward and reverse throttle + buoyancy. Strafing seems less important to me, but might be useful for the SeaMoth.

Yeah, I'd like to know this for a certainty too. I know that currently, a Linux version is not a priority due to the very early development state, but given that it's Unity (which supports it relatively easily I do believe) and that Linux gaming, es…

I just gotta say, I love this idea. It's very effective as a hunting tool or for self-defense ("Oh no, Mr. Stalker, those rocks there are what you should be close to. While I swim hell for leather!") or for a number of other uses, as you describe, b…

I listened to the boom sound. And my butthole clenched in fear at that sound. Then the little geiger counter clicks followed, and it clenched right up again. Pucker factor > 9000. Love it.
Now, I hope the sound will arrive sooner unde… -
Since we have the Official Word above, at this point I'll just say this, in answer to @candledicks: The 'token black guy', in fact tokenism itself, is a product of "wh…

@HexManiac I'm sure you always believe that people say exactly what they mean any time they say anything. Presumably this is especially true of salesmen and politicians,…

People can be sexist, actions can be sexist. Not all actions done by a sexist person will be sexist (it's likely they don't eat their lunch in a particularly sexist way every day, for instance), and not all sexist actions are done by a sexist person…

Warhound: An opinion is not necessarily worthy of respect, and some opinions demonstrate deplorable attitudes. Deplorable attitudes are in fact something to be ashamed of. Sexism is one such deplorable attitude, and a tremendously common one …
-
Candledicks, Seldkam, that attitude is why female gamers feel like they're second class citizens. Male is default, for arbitrary, historical and entirely sexist reasons - and attitudes like yours are, frankly, ridiculous and horrible. It's not actua…

Name just one reason to exclude women from this game. -
Hyp3rion, that's what docking clamps are for. :-)
-
Well, if it's that trivial to do, there's literally no reason not to have it. Also just once it could be nice if someone started with a female character and said oh, well, we'll add a guy some later time when we have time...
-
I'd really advise against that hairdo. My wife pointed out a few problems: A tight do like that is prone to headaches, especially when constantly getting wet. The loose ponytail, beside being hell to animate, would be getting in your way all the tim…

Customization of bases and vehicles strikes me as a fairly important aspect of this game. Definitely something to add. As well, given the 'paper doll' interface that's coming, I'd strongly suggest recolorable/repatternable dive suits, too.
-
Ideally, I'd want the SeaMoth hangar on the Cyclops to be available while docked, so you don't have to bring your Cyke out to just deploy the 'Moth. A sub-pen sort of setup would be nice, with a front-end berth where the Cyke comes in to dock its fr…

Oh cool! I'll go see about adding some thoughts there, then. Thanks for letting me know. I've added thoughts to it.
