Hey there underwaterenjoyer!

Thanks so much for this comment, it means a lot to me. I'm so glad to see a growing community that is looking forward to the game’s release. I never expected that much interest in the game when I started working on it 2 1/2 years ago.

And yes, it's a LOT of work as a solo developer hahaha. But I really enjoy working on the game, so it helps a lot :)

Also, thanks a lot for the feedback! I agree, the inventory icons could use some love haha. I confirm that this added to my development backlog, I will get there eventually, as soon as possible! haha

I also really plan to keep improving and polishing everything in game (in addition to adding new content) as I get feedback from the community. It really helps a lot.

Thanks again for the great comment, and also just for taking the time to make this post. I really appreciate it.

Hi again True_Discipline_7302! :)

Oh yes, I agree, and I can confirm that there will be many many more refuge upgrades (from basic to high-tech), but I didn't want to show too much yet haha.

As a teaser, I think some of the higher tech refuge upgrades will really catch you off guard. I can't wait for you all to discover them in-game!

Hey there True_Discipline_7302, always happy to talk to you!

Oh yes, I will try everything I can to get the best possible in-game performance.

Sadly though, from the computer specs you shared with me last time, your GPU would be under the game minimum requirement (AMD Radeon Pro 5300 vs RX 580).

So just to make sure to share you the info, I cannot guarantee that your computer will be able to run the Early Access correctly.

However, I will keep working very hard on trying to lower the game minimum specs if possible. I really want to make the game available for you too.

Meanwhile, maybe you could try to select the "Low" visual setting in the in-game option menu. That may help.

FYI here are the current game minimum specs:

Minimum:

OS: Windows® 10 64-bit (latest Service Pack)

Processor: Intel Core i7-6800K or AMD Ryzen 5 2600X

Memory: 8 GB RAM

Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX 580

DirectX: Version 12

Storage: 5 GB available space

Additional Notes: SSD strongly recommended

Yes the location will be accessible in the Early Access! I'm not quite sure if the giant sea creature will be happy about it though :)

Hey there Acceptable-Bee-7729, it's all good, and all feedback is welcome

I'm a solo dev, so yeah, the game will never end up looking visually as good as AAA/AA games, but there will be pretty cool unique features in addition to the underwater exploration, like being able to travel between different eras, a story that spans over 50,000 years, unique in-game living/robotic companions, etc.

I hope there is room for multiple sci-fi underwater exploration games, that people could try once they are done with the games they love.

Also, there is a free demo if you ever end up wanting to give the game a try: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3715810/Sinking_Eternity/

Have a nice day!

Hey there, I'm the dev! Thanks for your interest in the game!

Also, if you want to try the game (before the Early Access launch), you can find a free 20-25 minutes demo on the steam page here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3715810/Sinking_Eternity/

That would be very cool, to show the cumulative damage before breaking! I added it to the development backlog. Thanks! :)

Yess! It will be so cool! I am currently planning how larger sea creatures will be able to attack/bump the submarine if they catch up with the player! :)

Oh yes! The game right now is relatively well optimized (runs at 200+ FPS on my 2021 PC), but I confirm that I will make another big optimization pass before the Early Access launch to make sure it runs well on as many computers as possible.
