subROV News

The subROV Playtest is now over -thank you so much to everyone who participated!



This second Playtest has been fantastic, with very useful feedback coming straight from the game and through Discord. We found *and squashed* a couple insidious bugs, discussed things that were confusing or could be done better, and in general set a very nice mood for future development. Also, the new control system seems to be working fine, and since the objective of the Playtest was precisely to test it, we can say "mission accomplished" :D

Moving forward, we are going to invest the next months creating dives -adding objectives, creatures to find, and things to interact with. We will organize more playtests, but if you want to stay engaged with us, or contribute to the game's development, add the game to your wishlist, follow us on Twitter, and don't forget to join our Discord Server!

Finally, from now on we'll drop update logs periodically here on Steam, mirroring the updates we already do in Twitter and Discord. There won't be a fixed format for these updates and most times they will be a "screenshot of the week" -the point is simply to share out progress here just like we do it in these other platforms.

Thank you!

The subROV playtest is open!



Sign up now and Steam will send you an email as soon as you're granted access to the playtest.



What we expect from the playtest

We have overhauled the game's controls and the game now works with keyboard/mouse/pads/joysticks. The tutorials' texts adapt on the fly to the controller you are using, and there's a new help system to give you information on the controls without having to look at the manual. We have also addressed most of the feedback we received from the previous playtest, and made improvements across the board.

The purpose of this playtest is to check that the new control system works fine, and to get your overall impressions on the game so far.

How YOU can help

Play the game and give us feedback, any feedback! We'll take your opinion into consideration and will do our best to improve the game based on it.

Other things to Keep in mind
