Hey is Ricardo and welcome back to subnautica below zero at the end of the
sea survival game in a frosty climate well changes are coming we've recently
had the lost ship update in February 2020 and now there's been a announcement
on Twitter by the subnautica below-zero Project Lead Dave Kalina who is
outlining the future of below zero story in a new blog post and I'll put a link
for it here as well here is indeed the Twitter entry which then posts to the
actual blog post that I'm talking about now Dave starts off by saying hey
subnautica friends I hope you're having fun with below zero and I'm sure you'll
all agree a lot of us are and what a natural sequel even though it stands in
its own right of a game to the original subnautica okay he's writing this blog
for a few reasons he states to update you on development as we get ready to
drop another early access release and to inform you about changes that are coming
to the below zero story and also then to enthusiastically introduce you to our
new writer Jill Murray now it's been stated that
unknown world's entertainment have not been very happy the way the story of
below zero is tracking anyone to make some changes so he continues our seventh
early access update deep dive is coming very soon and it's a big when the team
worked super hard to get us to this release I am really proud of our effort
in pulling everything together except for the end game the entire below zero
experience should be playable the world is all there for you to explore all the
new features and tools and creatures are present and we saw those creatures
become available in the last ship update everything is in place but doesn't mean
it it all quite works in harmony it will take a fair bit of iteration and polish
careful attention to what's currently there to pull everything together to
make the final game truly special and it really is I mean I
there's a game out there quite like this it's a great color palette takes you
away from the grind of general you know jungles or lush undergrowth to a barren
landscape seascape area you know yes you've got the seein and that's lush and
full of color once you get out like onto this the snow it is quite barren but not
without its surprises he continues despite our best efforts we're not
exactly where we want to be particularly when it comes to the story when we
decided to make another subnautica game we agreed that making a game with a
living story featuring a speaking protagonist and other active speaking
characters would be really interesting way to differentiate below zero from the
original subnautica game and yet he's absolutely right totally right
and I think it works really well in fact I'm enjoying subnautica below zero much
more than I enjoyed the original subnautica again as some of our
dedicated fans have noticed and here's the key thing as well dedicated fans
this studio listens to the fans that's quite refreshing very refreshing
he says our writer Tom Schubert recently left below zero to pursue other projects
Tom's brain was responsible for much of what fans know and love about the
subnautica universe fiction and law we will miss him having around and
subnautica universe will always carry a bit of Tom's spirit humour and
imagination best of luck in your new projects Tom with adjustments and
changes still required on below zero story we found an amazing new writer
narrative designer to join the team Jill Murray chillest an award-winning work on
franchises like Tomb Raider and Assassin's Creed and she's worked on a
wide range of products from dating Sims to indie RPG she's even written Y a
novels about breakdancing teenagers okay in short a period of time I have found
Jill to be terrific imagine if collaborator with a keen
sense of character and story great so we can expect some
great things so there's me an awful lot of internal discussion as well and
reflection and they decided to change directions the upcoming deep dive
release represents the last version of the current story that they'll be
shipping to the public so make the most of it play it while you can and I've got
a load of videos on the channel as well around them they can be delivering a new
story next year now is that this year I mean this was posted three months ago so
yes it's gonna be in 2020 either way in deciding to change up the
story we knew had to work within the constraints of the current world sector
zero of four or five or six be from twisty bridges to crystal caverns from
the arts expires to the deep lilypads is gonna stay largely the same as it
imagined an awful lot of work has gone into that and it looks absolutely
fantastic if anything they will have more time to really work on the detail
of the world and to develop the biomes into more richer beautiful spaces to
explore and again we saw that in the lost ship update a lot of Polish has
been put into the game since the last iteration a hell of a lot of polish and
it looks brilliant so he also says also when we sense there's true love for
certain things from the community we will look to preserve them or better yet
improve those parts of the game we knew that players are responding positively
to Margaret and Alan for example these two main protagonists that are also in
there along with Robin these characters will continue to exist in the new story
and we're going to look to develop them further great because where Margaret
come down or Margaret came down in that gnarly old crone suit you thought oh
what's happening you who is this person I thought I was the only person on you
other than the AI or Alan the AI so those can tack
characters are gonna continue to exist in the new story they don't want to
spoil anything and that's good cuz we don't supply anything either if you love
subnautica and you like seeing how things evolve I hope you'll still tuck
into this version there's a lot of really good stuff there and it gets you
all Fay with the game as well doesn't it let's face so you can really hit the
ground running without too much of a learning curve yes some things may move
around but it's all generally gonna be the same and they're gonna benefit not
only from one narrative from the early release but also a second narrative from
this post release hopefully in 2020 you may even go to 2021 we don't know
special perhaps similar or get lead subnautica below zero and some of the
comments have popped in as well you know really excited about the updates people
are saying you know they're sad that they won't get to finish the current
story like yeah I get it you know but a new story you don't want to shoot three
bolts all in one go you know so all the feedback is generally really really
positive anyway thanks very much for watching on this news update for
subnautica below zero I can't wait for other iterations as well especially if
you're in the experimental branch on Steam you'll get to see some of those as
well also check back on my video like and subscribe and that'll let you know
and I'm putting more videos of subnautica below zero on youtube and
we'll obviously do want to don't spoil the story but worthwhile commenting on
the story where that's there where you think it's gonna be better or it's gonna
be worse than the original story that you tend to get off a with people
technically don't like change and they've got a winning formula they're
gonna be very careful with that like and subscribe piping Ricciardo
thanks very much for watching and check back for more videos in this series
you
