Varför Early Access?

“subROV's development has reached a point where its defining features are established, it is stable, and has content enough for players to enjoy it. During Early Access we'll be growing and shaping it further with active engagement from the community.”

Ungefär hur länge kommer det här spelet att vara i Early Access?

“We expect subROV to be in Early access for six months to a year, but may take longer depending on player feedback.”

Hur är det tänkt att den fullständiga versionen ska skilja sig från versionen i Early Access?

“ROADMAP
During Early Access, we are adding the following features and content:

• New dive sites
  
• New creatures/variations of existing creatures (corals)
  
• More wrecks/finds to explore
  
• Improvements to creatures’ behaviors and interactions
  
• New activities involving the ROV and external devices, e.g. sampling methane seeps, or finding and retrieving lost buoys in the water column
  
• Interface improvements during the dives (ROV camera orientation indicators, ROV camera zoom, more information on scannable items)

We also would like to try several other features, such as

• Retrieving and deploying objects from the ship using a crane
  
• Completely detaching the ROV from the tether to explore freely in short range (caves, wrecks)
  
• Adding a home base with a huge pool to test the ROV and take on challenges
  
• ROV Damage model

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“subROV releases into Early access with a series of tutorials and 5 dive locations. You can complete the dives’ objectives and explore the sites to see what creatures and features you find.
Please keep in mind that work in the game is still in progress, and therefore subject to change. We’ve worked very hard to make sure the game is stable and free of bugs, but if you experience any issues please send us feedback so we can look into them. We think subROV is already enjoyable and we’re excited for you to play it!”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

“The game's price will remain the same after Early Access.”

Hur planerar ni att involvera gemenskapen i er utvecklingsprocess?

“We have been involved with the community for a long time now. Last year we organized a playtest in February and kept a demo active for months after June's Next Fest, which helped us get valuable feedback and organize communication channels. In addition to the Steam forums, people can reach out to us through our , email (info 'at' , twitter, mastodon, facebook, and instagram.”
