Working on the Current Blocker in Sub-Species. Some underwater currents are too powerful to pass — deploy a blocker and clear the way forward. #gamedev #indiedev #SubSpecies

🌍 One of the best parts of making Sub-Species has been seeing people volunteer from around the world to help translate the game. Today we're excited to add Vietnamese! 🇻🇳 Huge thanks to A Cup of Localization and everyone helping make Sub-Species more accessible. ❤️ #gamedev #indiedev #localization

Updated the Sub-Species demo with a completely revised control setup. The old movement system worked, but players were fighting the controls. Now movement + propulsion are combined into the left stick and the sub feels massively more responsive. store.steampowered.com/app/4160530/...

One of my favourite screenshots from Sub-Species so far. Combat gets a bit chaotic once the bigger creatures show up. If you'd like to try it, the demo is on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4160530/...
