Combat in Sub-Species is built around pressure and positioning, not speed.
Being surrounded is part of the design.

Always liked how these ended up feeling like part of the space rather than a separate “enemy”.

It’s been interesting watching how people move through the Sub-Species demo.
Things slow down a lot once the noise drops.

Nice to see the Sub-Species demo being read as a cohesive experience.

Impresiones de la demo de “Sub-Species”: Una travesía hacia el fondo del océano que termina demasiado pronto
La demo incluye apenas un par de tutoriales que explican las mecánicas de movimiento, exploración y combate. Es una experiencia fugaz, pero con potencial de mejorar.

Thank you for a great article
Pulling from megahits like Sub-Terrania, Ecco the Dolphin, The Abyss, and The Blue Planet, a deep ocean dive awaits with the new Steam demo of @howlinghamster.bsky.social’s 2.5D multidirectional shooter Sub-Species.

From wireframe to final animation.
We spent a lot of time iterating on how creatures move through space, not just how they’re rendered.

Some of the later threats in Sub-Species are fully mechanical rather than organic.
We spent a lot of time making sure their silhouettes and movement read clearly in combat-heavy spaces.

A surprising amount of Sub-Species came together once we stopped trying to make every moment loud.

By the later areas of Sub-Species, the ocean feels less like a place — and more like something that’s been taken over.

We’ve been exploring ambient soundscapes for Sub-Species.
This one’s meant to feel like the ocean is breathing.

'last call' and its inspirations (1/3)
the project's development was influenced by different artists.
mainly dedicated to late japanese photographer, nakahira takuma (upper photos), the game features photos taken as documentation of the landscape, one photo per breath.
