The Bones Field and the Ghost Forest are both large enough to comfortably accomodate a Reaper Leviathan. If the Phantom LEviathan is made the same size it will be able to navigate with no problem while leaving enough room for you to avoid it.

except the game being virtually empty of life ruins ones suspension of disbelief. And no matter how good the environments are if they aren't populated by many interesting creatures and plants then whats even the point of going to those places other than to progress further in an empty game?

in addition adding "realism" to the ecosystems is really just making them somewhat believable. that means making the creatures interact with each-other and their environment in interesting and well thought out ways. the creatures in the game are no more than props at the moment rather than believable lifeforms. the only glimmer of behavior we get from them is the occasional predator attacking prey and the stalkers playing with metal.

>>376546749
the world in the game clearly isn't so that point is irrelevant.

>>376546512
when did i say anything about the extinctions helping anything? all i said that was given the sheer number of species on earth, even with two large scale mass extinctions that wipe out 80% of life on the planet each there will still be several thousand species left. My point is saying that there were big disasters is not a fucking argument and is clearly a blatant attempt to explain away the extremely apparent lack of creatures in the game (less than 40 unique creatures with 5 lazy recolors rather than clever remodels like the oculus and blood crawlers)

>>376547448
When was the last time you even looked at the game? The creatures do interact with each other, their density is similar to real-life population densities, and if you really want the devs to make a thousand different types of animals then the game wouldn't be completed for another thirty years.

>>376546323
I think it seems to be a fine size, sea dragons are supposed to be fuck huge, and reapers are the second biggest thing in the game (reefbacks don't count). And it's probably in the reaper family even. They look similar enough and there's already other cases of similarly related things.

>>376547686
>thousand types of animals

I never once said this. realistically ~100 unique creatures isn't that much of a challenge considering that most of them would be small creatures meant to populate the areas to give all of these huge predators something to eat and would still provide the necessary biodiversity to give the world some depth. most of the AI, once made could be generalized and used in multiple fish, so the only really big time consuming thing would be making the models textures and animations, though again since most of these fish will be on the small side shouldn't be too much work.

>The creatures do interact with each other

the predators occasionally eat other fish. so what? they don't do it in a believable way at all. they just waltz right up to fish who dont really even make an attempt to get away and them chomp them to death.

I'm not seeing any clever use of the creatures adaptations to hunt. the ampeels could easily shock nearby fish before going in for the kill but they don't. the fish themselves just swim around mindlessly in the open and don't attempt to hide or run from predators at all, the predators too just swim around doing basically nothing. the only creature that actively interacts with it's environment is the stalker who picks up scrap metal and plays with it.

aside form a few brief interactions between creatures there really isn't any in depth creature behavior.

>their density is similar to real-life population densities

thats a funny joke. Lets just pretend that most of the biomes aren't fucking empty, especially the coral reef areas where life in generally most diverse and plentiful in real life

>>376542045
This, if you see something aggressive, just hop in silent running, you can even love tap a reaper and they won't mind. Hell even if you're being attacked you can just go into silent running and they'll just stop.
Not fucking sea dragons though, you can be in half speed silent running on the other side of the cave and he'll swim right over and slap the shit out of you.

>>376548938
Remember when we played video games to ESCAPE reality and realism?

You're autistic to the point of CWC over having the game be as realistic as possible when there are many factors that make it difficult, one of the biggest being that no gaming computer would be able to handle your demand of hundreds or thousands of creatures milling around an area. Also programming all of the interactions you want would take quite a long time to do and debug.

>>376548938
If this isn't a devpost, then I don't know what is.

>>376548938
Holy shit dude, you have really high standards. What were you expecting? It's a game that runs on your computer, not a 50 year research project run on super computers.

That said, I do wish there was more to the game. But I think the fault in that is you can only discover everything once, first time I played it I was amazed at how much there was, but by the third or forth time, I already knew the map and creatures. I still agree that there should be more, because subnautica is dank, and it should have more. But I also think that I'm probably biased given my knowledge of the game. I even have a friend who got it as an impulse buy, who still hasn't played it because the amount of content seemed intimidating to him.

>>376546513
it'd be more intimidating if it didn't have those retarded arms

>>376543983

>>376549593
it's almost as if you missed all of the points that i was trying to make and are still mindlessly defending the game like any blind fanboy would

i never said i wanted absolute realism, just "believable" realism. you can argue all you want about games not needing to be realistic but that's not true in the slightest. Humans have this thing called suspension of disbelief, that is to say, if your game isn't sufficiently believable or "realistic" then people will be put off by it. While some games like tetris and lovely planet aren't realistic in the slightest it's fine because the content is not meant to be realistic anyways. however in games like subnautica where the game is supposed to take place on an alien world having a good level of realism is important because players expect such a game to have a certain level of believability.

>handle your demand of hundreds or thousands of creatures milling around an area.

again you failed to get my point. it's not about being 100% realistic it's about being believable. that doesn't require a hundred thousand creatures all packed into one area nor do i expect something like that. i am well aware of the limitations of modern computers

>Also programming all of the interactions you want would take quite a long time to do and debug.

most behavioral code can be reused on all of or most of the creatures. It's not like they are going to take every single creature and write the code from scratch each time. the only things that would be creature specific would be special abilities and such, but again most of the fish would be on the small side and there would be a pretty large amount of variations of existing creatures that have adapted to different environments similar to the oculus and blood crawlers that most likely wouldn't really even need any new code or would only need very little.

keep grasping at straws though it's pretty funny

Here is something that has always bothered me about the game. With the exception of the shallows and kelp, there is never anything like in the water between the surface and the sea floor. Everything just kinda clings around the biome. Which I get from a game standpoint, but feels strange that I can go from one side of the map to the other, and with the exception of a glitch reef back; won't even see a fish.

>>376551224

Yeah, and shallows is just shallow, not sure that counts. But god, having the 500m above you being populated would be ridiculous. Kinda wish there was another whale/reefback creature to be there.

By being realistic. If you want that amount of realism then you'd better hunker down and wait for the devs to program all of that in, which they've gone on record as saying is one of the most time-consuming aspects of making the game and why the ghost leviathan almost didn't make it in, they had to resort to using the Reaper's AI with some tweaks instead of making one froms cratch so it had a chance of getting in.

>>376551816
Open Ocean in real life is, along with the Abyssal Plain, the most barren part of the ocean. There's little food for anything out in the endless waters, even plankton. But it would be cool to see some other large creatures, like this turtle and the giant rabbit ray-like beast in the concept art.

so exactly what I said they would do? making the same code from scratch over and over is retarded, and if they are seriously doing that for each and every fish rather than putting the creatures into general categories, making a general AI for each category, and reusing the code with small tweaks where necessary, then they are just incompetent developers

>>376552454
Categories such as? They're different species, they're not going to have the same behaviors. And again they do have interactions beyond "Stalkers eat Peepers", many of the larger predators will fight each other if they meet, Reapers will go after Sandsharks and Stalkers even digging into the sand to get the Sandsharks, Mesmers hypnotize everything up to the River Prowler's size, etc. Just what exactly do you want from them?

Gotta be able to build habitats down in the depths somehow. If they stayed with real-world physics you'd get embolism and die after going down 30 meters.

also i'm fairly certain that subs in real life have a crush depth because of the internal pressure being vastly different from the external pressure, something humans don't really have an issue with up to a certain depth where the body can no longer cope

I believe there is even a console command that enables the bends for surfacing to quickly. But this breaks my immersion far more than that, the bends could even be evaded with space technology. But there really isn't a good reason for diving that deep (maybe a suit?). Ideally my seamoth grabber could also grab things like habitat builders and other tools, basically just adding arms to it.

>Subnautica

So what exactly is this game?

>>376552883
>they're not going to have the same behaviors

except they will. there are a lot of general behaviors that most animals share, one being running and hiding from predators. these general behaviors can easily have a single code block that is shared among similar creatures

>Categories such as

size, type of locomotion, predator or prey, etc, that's kind of what OOP is for you know. you have a general class for a group of creatures, and sub classes for each different creature. each creature borrows code from the general class, behavior code being one of them.

>Just what exactly do you want from them?

more interaction with the actual environment would be nice for one thing
fish that actively avoid and hide from predators
nesting and breeding behaviors

anything to make them feel less like robots that swim around aimlessly and more like living creatures.

>>376553758
It's the noise they're responding to. Ever heard loud sounds underwater? Water conducts sounds much better than air and something only annoying in air can be painful underwater, you're basically driving them into a pain-filled frenzy when you're cavitating.

>>376553428

>putting words in my mouth when I agreed to disagree
Damn.... You really...... Showed me.........

>>376554148
It's both though?

also the "survival" bit quickly becomes irrelevant and the game focuses more on exploration, one of the major selling points of this game is the environments as you rightly said, but empty environments are incredibly boring and it becomes more of a chore to go places to find things than it is awe inspiring which is the goal of the environments. believable ecosystems will only add to the depth of those environments. The more in depth the environments the more interesting they will be. Seeing how the creatures within those environments interact with the environment and each-other is a major part of world building, and when the world is the selling point of the game that much is necessary.

>>376553428
There's nothing scarier to me than miles of open ocean with no landmarks. It's made worst when you can't even tell which way the surface is. Hopefully they add something to the void eventually.

>>376539720

>>376554825
The game has a story you'll be doing with an ending, so you're likely going to be more focused on that. Also the devs are focusing on finishing the game, what you want is for the moment useless fluff. Also I really doubt the majority of players will spend hours watching the fish court and spawn.

>>376555049

>want is for the moment useless fluff

It's not useless if it adds much needed depth to the world you are so eagerly defending. not to mention it bring up many gameplay opportunities such as making eggs harder to get as they would be protected by creatures, or certain creatures that are normally passive becoming aggressive during mating season. Elephants and the like do this and a creature like the gasopod could conceivably do this as well

though I agree finishing up the main story is more of a priority at the moment, that doesn't mean small details aren't also important. it's really the small things that usually make the difference between a good game and an amazing game. so don't just brush aside things like this as "useless fluff"

> I really doubt the majority of players will spend hours watching the fish court and spawn.

no shit. but they will come across it occasionally, and as I said before, it would provide some new gameplay opportunities as well as adding more life to the creatures of the world

again this is less a survival game and more of an exploration game with crafting and survival elements

that being said, survival games could do better with having some realism with the AI. it would certainly make it harder to hunt when the deer or whatever react to your movements in a semi-realistic manner. That way it would actually require some skill to survive rather than making it piss easy which is where most survival games fall short honestly, this one included. but again the survival elements tend to take a back seat to exploration and those environments you were so proud of a little while back

I'd be interested in a sort of freakish eldritch pitch black hellplane that expands into infinity, notable for having a general mood and design whiplash that is more grounded in gritty nightmarish shit than base Subnautica. Since it's meant to fill the void, with the exception of some lore-important points, it'd be procedural generated to extend into infinity which I think could actually work in the context of this Dark Zone or whatever generating unnatural and bizarre terrain. The post-game challenge could simply be seeing how far you could extend out into the Dark Zone, which constantly extends further down and, up to a certain but distant point, spawning more dangerous, surreal fauna and terrain. In turn, though, there's an abundance of resources out there that can let you make some super cool shit, including beefed up bases, prawn suits, and subs to brave the horrors within. Eventually though, I'd imagine there'd have to be an end to the Dark Zone since going a certain distance from 0 0 0 fucks with the HUD.

The "one" thing Subnautica never really delivered on for me was true deep sea horror. It can get spooky, but some creatures just have really stylish designs and the game feels more "general alien" rather than uncanny incomprehensible ancient sea creature alien, which is what I always wanted out of a game like this.

If a dev is reading this, pls consider it at least. Steal my idea, mutate it however you like. Make it happen.

>E-10: Games with this rating contain content which the ESRB believes is generally suitable for those aged 10 years and older. They can contain a greater amount of violence, mild language, crude humor, or suggestive content than the standard "Everyone" rating can accommodate, but not to the same extent as the "Teen" rating.

>Teen: Games with this rating contain content which the ESRB believes is generally suitable for those aged 13 years and older; they can contain moderate amounts of violence (including small amounts of blood), mild to moderate use of strong language or suggestive themes, and crude humor.

The blood seems to be the major difference, for some reason showing red blood forces a higher rating.

Has there been improvement in the last few months, or have you just never seen the stutter?

Why did this game have to be so damn scary? I just wanted some comfy sea exploration but the game is terrifying.

>>376561297
Occasionally there's stutter, but only when it's loading large areas. I sometimes have frame drops in the Mushroom Forest, too, but I've never had any major problems or crashes.

>>376539720

Great, so they're going to put this bitch with a huge patrol radius in a small cave with confined space so there are more things for me to crash my submarine into?

How about they fix the fucking game and give the submarine proper radar like the seamoth?

>>376561523
They're still working on it, its aggro range may be smaller to compensate, and the Lost River rooms are huge so there's no problem with avoiding it. Also if you're silent running the beasties will ignore you.

There is a sonar for the Cyclops, both a normal HUD-style one and the Seamoth's upgrade version as an upgrade for it which does the topography pulse.

Now that they're almost done with the Ghost Leviathan, hopefully they'll work on this guy next. He already has a lot of animations done, all they'd need to do is tweak them and have it punch apart modified Large Resource Nodes as well as punch at the player, vehicles, and bases if they annoy it.

It was never intended to be a sea horror game, it's a survival/crafting/exploration adventure with a low age rating hence the stylized colorful designs.

>>376577117
>>You do know that all you have to do is be in silent running around them and they'll ignore you, yes?
Then it is still invincible by that logic. But of course, you are incapable of being logically consistent.
Silent running mode is stupid for as soon as you leave the ship they all detect the player instantly and lose sight as soon as they reenter the cyclops making it the same as before. It is also stupid because of the pop in issues you won't see predators until they are millimeters away from the front of the sub if you use the fast running mode.

I know you're doing this for (You)s, but I'll humor you.

-The Cyclops can be destroyed, if not by the creatures then by your own stupidity (ramming it into things, taking it down without a pressure compensator
-However, if you play it safe, then it won't get damaged, like how you won't be killed by being a safe driver
-This is different from how it was before, when the Cyclops really was invincible no matter what you did with it or what attacked it
-Ergo, the Cyclops is only "invincible" when you play it safe, stay in silent running, avoid large creatures, etc
-Therefore, since you now have to be careful, cautious, and alert, there is still danger and tension, unlike when you could ram a Reaper Leviathan until it died without anything happening to the sub

I don't know how much easier I can make it for you to understand, barring a puppet show or popup book.

>It's stupid the cyclops is invincible
>Bonesharks destroy cyclops

So it's the same as if it were invincible but with the added annoyance of an faster movement option that is unusable because they are everywhere
>First release cyclops could be destroyed by environment
I don't know when they temporarily disabled this but the cyclops could sink a long time ago and fill with water.

>it's okay
It really isn't and what bothers me the most is that I can't figure out the reasoning behind it, then again, the whole game has a serious clash of creature and character design that I can't understand.

>>376578887
>It's stupid the cyclops is invincible
Gameplay-wise, yes, it is.

>Bonesharks destroy cyclops
You're obsessed with bonesharks, dude.

>bonesharks cannot destroy cyclops if you are in silent mode
They can destroy it, they simply won't attack it. That does not make it invincible, just like how a bear not ripping your limbs off doesn't make you invincible.

>So it's the same as if it were invincible but with the added annoyance of an faster movement option that is unusable because they are everywhere
Three places on the map is not everywhere, and this is how I know you're doing this for the sake of (You)s.

>First release cyclops could be destroyed by environment, I don't know when they temporarily disabled this but the cyclops could sink a long time ago and fill with water.
They never took that out.

>I don't know how much easier I can make it for you to understand, barring a puppet show or popup book.
You're the one either pretending to be or actually are retarded, dude.

>>376579249
>>They can destroy it, they simply won't attack it. That does not make it invincible, just like how a bear not ripping your limbs off doesn't make you invincible.
If they don't attack it how would they be able to destroy it barring you damaging your ship by ramming them as would ramming the sea floor damage it?

Does the game have some sort of 'peacefull' mode yet
Because I just wanna swim around looking as shit while making bases without worrying if some 'fuck you' fish gets to close because you have no reliable way to defend yourself other than running away to safety

>>376579085
Well, the Precursors were fucking around with genetic modification in order to find a cure for Carar. Perhaps some of the stranger bits can be attributed to that?
I mean, look at the Sea Dragon. It's basically a Lava Lizard spliced with the Emperor

>>376539720
They really, really really should have gone in a horror direction. Colorful, safe shallows near the surface and the deeper yout go the more terrifying it gets. They fucked up with this stupid sci fi alien storyline shit that literally nobody will miss if they get rid of it.

>>376579789
That's exactly the point, fucktard, you don't want them attacking the sub because if they do they'll damage it, just like how you don't want that bear to rip off your limbs. Neither the sub nor you are invincible and you take steps to prevent damage.

Enjoy the free (You)s because you're not going to be getting any more if you keep up this idiocy.

>>376581192
yes, and having to still gather resources and shit as well

>>376580867
Invulnerable
adjective
1. incapable of being wounded, hurt, or damaged.
2. proof against or immune to attack:
A strong navy made Great Britain invulnerable.
3. not open to denial or disproof:
an invulnerable argument.

Invincible
adjective
1. incapable of being conquered, defeated, or subdued.
2. insuperable; insurmountable:
invincible difficulties.

>>376581396
You have a super fighting robot, isn't that enough?

>>376573615
You had an ad on 4chan recently promoting your game

>>376581287
So you want a mode where the only reason you'd die is because you're a brain-dead idiot.

>>376581410
Does making the ship invisible to all creatures make it invulnerable, invincible or neither to creatures specifically as long as the ship does not touch them?

They could have had the most enjoyable horror game of all time.

>>376581542
I want a mode where you still have to look for shit like resources but cant die to the sea monsters and shit because "lol no way to defend yourself from stuff that wants to kill you" is boring as fuck since the only solution to them is just to fuck off and stop what you are doing whenever one swims even close to you

>>376545098
>>376545098
This is what gets me the most. Their creature designs are more along the veign of fantasy monsters than deep sea horror. Too much bioluminescence and bright colors. Just looks sorta laughable, that their Apex predators look like a bright red and white torpedo with a humanoid head at the end, and some tentacle spikes for good measure. I want more creatures in the vein Reefbacks and Striders and less dragons and Leviathans

>>376582015
>the only solution to them is just to fuck off and stop what you are doing whenever one swims even close to you
Over and over and over again as well since none of the deterrents make them really fuck off.

How finished is the game? I want to start playing it.

>>376581595
Sneaking past something to avoid damage because you can be damaged does not make you invincible.

>>376582015
>"lol no way to defend yourself from stuff that wants to kill you"

PRAWN Drill Arm
PRAWN Default Arms
Seamoth Perimeter Defense System
Gas Torpedo
Vortex Torpedo
Ramming them with the Seamoth
Propulsion Cannon with Crashfish ammo (five of them kills a Reaper dead)
Survival Knife

Plenty of ways to kill things in this game. Why does it have to specifically be with a gun?

>>376582510
I had a weird bug where loading a Crashfish into the Gravity Gun would jam it

>>stair modules
This, what we need the most for bases is verticality. Ladders suck and stacking multipurpose rooms is useless for anything other than large aquariums

>>376582510
Answer the question. Because calling it sneaking does not change the question. Nor does it accurately portray where the enemies are relative to the ship. They could be 100 meters or 1 meter away in this system, it doesn't matter.

>>376582772
You put them in ass-first, not face-first.

>>376582840
I've answered the question many times, fucktard. Enjoy all the (You)s I gave you.

So I built the Prawn and the Cyclops, explored the Aurora and did the thing on mountain Island. What do I do now? The game's just creepy enough to deter exploration for fun, I need a goal.

Everything should be covered in LEDs and throbbing like a San Francisco nightclub it will be totally spooky.

>>376582967
I see you concede that stealth mode makes you invulnerable to attack and therefore is no different than before other than an annoyance of being attacked if you ever stop using stealth mode.

>>376539720
Is that thing supposed to be scary or something? Because I don't understand the point of it. Can you kill it and make things out of it? Tame it? Use it for some other purpose? Or do you just look at it for a minute and then leave?

>>376582510
I didn't even mention guns just more early game defence methods like a fishing Spear or some sort of harpoon thing would be good
and over half of the shit you have to 'defend' against stuff is late game as fuck where by that point there is not really anything left to do

>>376583441
The propulsion gun is pretty much a futuristic Harpoon

>>376583441
You again.

Make a Scanner, swim to the area beside the Aurora, scan two pieces of the Propulsion Cannon, go back to Lifepod and build one, boom, you now have a fish cannon. And that takes maybe ten minutes at most.

>>376573615
oh my!

>>376582972
Go down to the Lost River and explore the Disease Research Facility, go deeper to the Lava Castle Power Center, then find the Primary Containment Facility.

That's where the story's up to at the moment. There's also Precursor Caches scattered around, one in almost every surface biome (Dunes, Mountains, Crag Field, Sparse Reef, Grand Reef, Deep Grand Reef, Blood Kelp).

>>376578831
Say, what if one deceases the brightness of the game by a dozen percent ?

>>376578831
The only way a deep-sea game can be creepy is using real-life animals or going full Lovecraftian. That's what I've learned from Subnautica threads.

>>376585341
I mean, you can certainly use real life animals as inspiration but there's no need to replicate them. The problem with Subnautica not being creepy is mostly because the stylization, it looks cartoony as fuck and the glowing things are way too bright and frequent. I'm sure someone will make some retexturing work and such when the game is released and improve on that stuff.

>>376585586
Which changes the point of the game, it's not a deep-sea horror game full of jumpscares and instant deaths, it's a survival game set in the ocean with a story and ending. The monsters aren't meant to be unfathomable by human minds or teeth upon teeth upon jaws lusting only for human flesh, they're just alien animals that can impede and threaten your objectives.

>>376585934
I know but there are two polar opposite schools in Subnautica, there's a lot of people (like me) that see the mechanics and wish it was somewhat more grim and terrifying visually, kinda based off the dream of that inexistant Pressure game.

They went the story route to appeal to youtubers and kids.
I just hope they add some more creatures because the pace of new lifeforms being added has decreased significantly.

>>376586179
Which is not the devs' vision of the game, and trying to mod and alter it just to fit your personal demand is rather petty.

Being attacked by a leviathan is the scariest videogame moment I ever experienced. I was physically affected and was trying to get away from it IRL. It's like a fucking nightmare to me.
