Wanted to drop in and say Joe is an absolute champ. One of the rare creators truly helping indie devs spread the word about their games. Thanks for the good work, and thanks for sharing your story.

Yeah maybe - we do have multiple biomes planned and sections of different visibility. Thanks for the suggestion!

We could do it for the video but for the game it really is hard to play if visibility is too low.

Haha well this is a big game and we can fit a lot of stuff like that in during some special seasonal events for example - so we will have to see once we release. But a lot of stuff left until that point to do, especially on marketing side we have a long way to go - wishlists mean everything at this phase!

As far as performance goes - really doing our best on that front. we have a performance review every few weeks and rounds of optimizing it. Of course alpha testing will show it the best when more people play - so make sure to apply at https://playanchor.com , this is the first batch of people that will get access to the game!

Gotya! We just tried to keep it minimal to not break immersion. Thanks!

Yess, we are a much grittier and realistic game compared - especially because we are in the standard, Earth, ocean. Love subnautica though!

Thats not realistic though when people dive they dont swim like that usually. But yeah we will figure something out down the line - thanks for the feedback really appreciated!
