Wait or dive in now?

[RabidRodent]

Pardon the pun, but would you all recommend buying and playing now or until it releases out of early access? Thanks.

It's a lot of fun, took be about 15hrs to complete all of the story that is currently available. After that its mainly just maxing out upgradables.

You'll have around 10-20hs of content. I really enjoy the gameplay, the exploration, and there are A LOT of upgrades, so I still play it to this day. I'm close to 100hs

I dived in and have a lot of fun one of the best game i playd for a long time.
I Playd it for 40 hours and still come back for fun.

[RabidRodent]

So seems like the consensus is to buy and play now? Do you guys think you'll restart and play it from the beginning when version 1.0 comes out?

[VaeliusNoctu]

A good game can be recognized by the fact that playing is fun and not unlocking things or level ups. This is such a game, it's just fun to play and the videos make you laugh your head off.

So if i must restart or its a better experience to start new, i have no problems with that.

Buy now, or check in 2 days when the steam sale starts. The game has more than enough content to justify it's price tag. Whether you need to restart or not at full launch, the price will probably go up once it's fully released, so it won't be cheaper anyway. If you're worried about a restart, you could buy now and wait until release to play, but I would be surprised if you couldn't use EA saves with the full release.

TLDR: There's no downfall to buying now, so buy now or this weekend when there's a sale, it may or may not be discounted.

Virauge thanks, I didn't realize the sale was starting this weekend. I'll wait until then. Thanks everyone.

Well you cannot wait.

The game will not let me save or exit if I do not dive in.

So, until there is a patch or a fix, you must dive in.

The game even tells you that diving in is a bad idea. But I refuse to dive in. But at this point, I cannot save my progress or exit.

So I am waiting. But the game is broken unless you dive in.

Hope that helps!

progress / saves won't be lost when 1.0 releases, so no need to wait.
Only downside is that waiting for full release will be harder once you're hooked :)

One of the best indie games I played so far! Worth every cent! Go and buy and support the devs, there is so much love and fun and joy in this game!!

[RabidRodent]

Just bought it, will wait until 1.0 to try it since the game seems to be releasing June, not too far off. :)

[yourjaguarlover]

I'm in the same boat as my hydrophobic vermin friend here, really want to buy and I will. Lots of great advice but my main question from the community or Devs is what will be added or changed between now and v1.0. Is there like a roadmap or anything? Or will it be just tweaks and improvements rather than new content? If anyone knows, hit me up! Thanks @RabidRodent for creating the thread i was thinking of :)

[RabidRodent]

I played for about an hour last night (just to make sure I didn't need to refund). Game is super fun so far, I love the concept of scavenging underwater and catching fish...to then serve it as sushi. :D
@Jaguar, I didn't see a road map but would also like to know what will be added from now until June or if it's just going to be balancing. Also the game actually feels more difficult than I thought, a lot of the difficulty for me is greed (staying just a little longer submersed) vs balancing oxygen (surfacing), I hope the full game maintains the challenge and isn't just a cakewalk.

He too talk about what comes in Final Realese as far as i remember.

@RabidRodent, thanks so much (and to all posters) for your thumbs-up opinion. @VaeliusNoctu, much appreciate the link - exactly what I hoped for. So, I'm going to try to be good and wait for the official release - I can make it to June i think! If there's no discount when it releases I'll happily pay full price as, from all the feedback I see here, the dev team are definitely worth it!
