Anth, I think a loud, more aggressive roar for the ancient leviathan is missing. Like, more of a throat roar. If you see this, lemme hear some feedback.
I really like the frozen leviathan sounds, but I think it needs almost like a rumble at the end and a little more bass. I think the ancient leviathan sounds really good too but a little too similar to the crab squid, can’t exactly tell what it needs though.
I think both leviathans need more of a shriek, or scream, something that sounds iconic, that makes you think "boy, I really don't want to go there", like the 3 hostile Leviathans from Subnautica. The Ghost Leviathan had an iconic roar that was like a shriek, the Sea Dragon's roar was iconic because it was a bit of a moan, and could be heard from really far away, and the Reaper's roar was iconic because it was so loud, and sounded so fierce and angry.
I feel like the Ice dragon should have a shrieking scream, Like ice breaking kind of shriek. Kind of like a Ghost Leviathan. The Ancient one I feel is missing some kind of chattering, if not from the teeth then the plates/legs brushing together.
I think it would sound cool if the ancient Leviathan was a little more high pitched. The roar is great, but for it to get a little higher by the end so it can transition better into the following clicks. Like rather roar at the beginning and then it morphs into an eagle cry maybe?
I’m thinking ad an underlying high pitch screech or something along lines of a clicker noise (last of us) with an accent on the growl with the accent more annunciated when threatened
@@gearscrap7751 yeah something like that. I just think that most Leviathans have really deep growl-ly voices and adding a higher pitch will help tell this one apart from the others, a nice change
The Ice Dragon Leviathan sounds like the creature is really small. It definitely needs a much more threatening set of growls and other sound effects. Taking into consideration how massive the Ice Dragon looks, at least in the reference image in the video, it would be the size of the Sea Dragon and the Empress, which would suggest a FAR more threatening set of sounds. Perhaps it would be worth experimenting with pre-existing dragon sounds and attempting to alter them to make it sound like it were underwater. However, I would personally love to hear an almost more majestic roar. Whatever the end result, it needs more depth and vigor per se. I can't wait to see and hear the final result!
I like the subtly of these concepts. A big, loud, screamy leviathan starts getting old after awhile. It's cool to imagine a quieter, stalking creature, that you only ever really hear "loudly" right before it chomps you.
For the ice dragon, I think it could have more a ringing sound to it. Almost like glass resonating, which could have almost a whale like singing to it, while being more aggressive with that growl.
The ice dragon seems like it almost could be more friendly in its sound aswell in one image it seems non hostile and we dont get that many passive leviathans
I definitely agree, sometimes it's good to have something different than just roaring. Maybe the ice dragon could have some sort of eerie sound to it as well.
ruclips.net/video/v3O9vNi-dkA/видео.html - Thin ice skating has a high pitch eerie ping to it, perfect for echo location and to tell you just how close it is when you're swimming for your life.
That sounds good almost as if it's reflecting off of the ice it would be cool if u couldn't tell where the ice dragon is coming from kinda thing to keep u disorientated
I really like this idea! Hums and ringing screeches sound perfect, it’s not the typical “roar I’m big snd scary” roar which would make it stand out further. It could sound similar to the ghost leviathans except a little more song/ring like with reverberations!
Didn’t some people use to say that the Ancient Leviathan was burrower/tunneler which is similar to the Ice Worm Leviathan? The only difference that would be between them would be that one lived in water and the other lives on land.
Honestly, I think the ice dragons perfect. It's a sort of opposite to the normal dragon leviathan. Instead of guttural, loud and imposing. It's more quiet and a somber threat. Which makes it instantly more terrifying. Cause it could mess with you thinking it's not as close or dangerous as it sounds. Overall though I like the vibe it has
I feel like the Ancient Leviathan needs to incorporate the 'fast heartbeat' sound. Something that incorporates fear even from a distance. You can almost feel the guttural vibrations from the creature but can not determine an exact location. Almost like it's all around you.
For the Ancient Leviathan, I definitely feel like the "crabsquid as a leviathan" idea for the roar doesn't fit well with the head and mouth shape. Maybe add some crocodile or alligator sounds to it? The Ancient Leviathan seems like it would have a very deep, guttural roar rather than something like the crabsquid, and gators match the guttural sound profile very well.
Yea that makes a lot of sense. I imagine the sort of sound u here in red dead two when the croc/gators are near u. Like the weird hiss type sounds. I’d like to see that but more mighty like yk.
I think the ice dragon leviathan could benefit from some dolphin-like sounds? And I think the ancient leviathan would benefit from a stutter. to have its sounds suddenly cut off and start again rapidly, reflecting its crustacean-like walk would sound scary and amazing. Super excited to see this project develop further! I love this game and this franchise so much and I'm so happy it's getting the attention it deserves.
That concept art of the city looks really cool and I can definitely see your links to Subnautica. I'm still a little skeptical though, the specific architecture of the buildings looks a little too "steampunk" to me. You're right, we haven't seen a normal residential or commercial area on an actual human world in the Subnautica universe yet. However, I feel like the design of the base modules and living areas you can build in the game already have a much more "clean and crisp" feel. No exposed piping and that kinda stuff. It's a stark difference to the design of the building of the concept art. Theoretically we could be looking at a "lower class" area of the planet or city in the Subnautica universe and just not know it. It's plausible. Kinda like the lower levels of Coruscant in the Star Wars universe, where things are in disrepair or neglect.
Ya I believe this to be a lower class city on one of 456b’s moons and it’s likely somewhere close to a port of ships judging from some of the ships passing through
I think that the ancient leviathan should have a deep echoey voice so no matter where you are if far or close you have a deep echo that plays kinda sending a chill down your spine.
For the ancient leviathan, I think some lower more base-y undertones and deeper clicking noises that underlay the higher pitched ones would work well, and over all a sort of deep rumbling noise along side it would give it a very terifying subtone. Sounds also resembling like shuffling or shifting or even grinding from the exoskeleton adjusting would add for some great ambiance, really make this thing feel colossal, where even the smallest adjustment sounds like an earthquake to the human ear.... For the Ice Dragon leviathan, I think it for sure needs to be more reverberating and like, feel like it would vibrate your entire body, make your chest shake. I think overlaying more shrieking/rasping/throaty roars onto what is already there would give the calls a bit more meat. Over all, I like the more shriek like roar that layers up suites the Ice Dragons more sleek looking body. I think also adding in some hissing or snarling noises would work well for its style. It reminds me almost like how a big cat (panther/leapord) is so threatening as apex hunters. Over all, I think a great way to make leviathan class creatures even scarier sounding is to add in subtones reminiscent of what some natural disatsers sound like.
For the ancient Leviathan, i think some kind of Predator esque 'clicking' sounds might work well. (Fun fact, the VA for the Predator actually got the inspiration from seeing a crab bubbling in the sunlight). As for the Ice Dragon, i gotta say the sounds are very very underwhelming and generic, i'm not sure what kind of sound i'd expect it to make, maybe something like a cross between the Ghost and Sea dragon leviathans, but i'm not a fan of the ones presented.
Ancient leviathan I think they should add in some clicking sounds with it. I know some crustaceans make clicking sounds and I think just mixing that in with the sound you already have and adjusting it could sound great
Personally, I feel like the Ancient Leviathan needs more 'clicks' as though it's trying to echolocate for prey. For the Ice Dragon, I feel like it needs a sort of 'hiss', like the venting of steam.
K, for the titan or ancient leviathan thingy, I definitely agree with the fact that it is missing something. In my opinion, I feel that a loud screech to make it really feel like a threat, but I'm not saying completely scrap the sound they have right now, but to give it more of a rasp in the back to really make it feel like the creature is putting its heart and soul into hunting you down. For example, I think the reaper leviathan is the scariest leviathan, even though it's not the biggest, or does the most damage in the game, but because of the trauma it will invoke in new players when they first encounter one, and even then that is not the scary part, the scary part is the fact that you now know that things like that are out there, and occasionally hearing the distant screams with that all out roar is what really seals the deal for me. TLDR: Put a rasp in the scream to make it feel more like a sincere and aggressive scream.
16:32 when I hear that, all I can picture is entering a deep cave and accidentally setting off a chain reaction of bioluminescent flora that reveals the cave going hundreds of metres further.
You always make my Day with these Updates! I literally Ramble about these things to my friends(They have no idea what I’m talking about half the time) But I just LOVE THE New Leviathan Sounds!For the Ancient Leviathan I would say- Add like boom sounds after it clicks, And As it walks its using Strange clicking and Somehow like Distorted Whale clicks and Howls, For the Ice dragon Leviathan, Maybe Make it more Gutteral and When it roars it Splays out its “wings” as it threatens, And when near other Ice Dragons it Makes More Of gentle bellows, as if it’s talking to one another
I know I’m about 10 days behind on this, but take a look at the poster at 14:42. It looks a lot like a sea moth with tank treads. Now, go to 8:21 and zoom in in the street in the background. It’s a VERY similar looking rover with the same design. Also, the concept art being in orbit around what’s assumed to be 4546b and being codenamed “moonbreaker” mixed with a general low income industrial park vibe could hint that it takes place on the moon of 4546b and trying to crack through to a mineral rich core and it goes wrong, leaving you left on the moon alone in a similar situation to Subnautica
this looks amazing!!! for sound help i have a few ideas: ancient leviathan: i LOVE the beginning but i feel like the reefback-like rumble at the end doesnt really fit in, there was a comment about clicking because of the exoskeleton and that could sound neat! ice dragon: maybe some sharp hissing? king cobra sounds could be good inspo! for the concept art: i dont really think that looks like what the main game could look like, maybe for cutscenes or if somehow the player(s) made it to there but it was abandoned (because i dont think that having many npcs is subnautica's thing outside of voice acting) but other than that it could just have been nothing *or* something for another game, since i think i remember that the next game will likely be a survival either way im super hyped for everything!!! good luck and godspeed on development, it looks incredible already :D
I feel like the ice dragon has an intelligence on par with an orca, smarter than an animal, less intelligent than a person. It can understand voices, but not language sort of deal.
its super refreshing seeing a game ive been playing since early access grow and also the devs stick with it and make super solid addons and constantly be dripping little hints of upcoming content
I need to see and hear the ancient one to really make a decision on how it should sound. Like an animated ancient one and hear it’s roar to go in a direction of its sound
3:25 The close broadcast for the ANCIENT LEVIATHAN is scary but I think it should have a echo effect and maybe make it alittle louder. But honestly I love this video P.s. I didn't know I've dragon was a thing till recently. But I just think it looks Awesome
Well moonbraker as you say is set in same universe, but that road map says "turn-based strategy", which i think would also explain hiring for that job position. And with wanting for next proper subnautica be more innovative, it will be some time.
The Ice Dragon Looks like it does some something in the higher pitch range. Like a sound wave attack that would be debilitating to an enemy as it lacks any type of offensive appendages.
I want them to bring back the feeling of terror as Below Zero had too much visibility and too much vibrancy compared to the first subnautica... I don't know but the first subnautica had the right amount of visibility where its enough for you to think i don't want to see anything but at the same time you don't want to see anything more which made a sense of something being out there but you dont know where and what because it forced you to explore the dark regions whereas for example in below zero the shadow leviathan is too noticeable and your first encounter you get given a warning before which is quite boring, especially when you compare going into the dunes with a seamoth at night in the first game which is the most terrifying thing in the game since all you see is the void.
I think for the ice dragon leviathan it should be pitched up a little and sound course like metal scraping on ice. For the ancient levitation I think it should be more resonate like a large cave vibrating and definitely some big clicking sounds
More clicking in the roar would be awesome for the ancient leviathan, like I would imagine it would use some sort of sound that would bounce more off the walls for it to see prey or something
Given the design of the Ancient Leviathan, I can't help but imagine keeping that deep, gutteral chittering it does, while throwing in some H.R. Geiger influence by adding a hybrid Predator-Alien style feel to it, plus keeping to a similar sound design of the crustacean creatures on the planet as well, like the crabsquids. Lots of low grumbles and groans, chittering and clicking, with a kind of hollow, low echo to it, as though it's using its own shell as a sort of Vocal sac like some Toads and monkeys do. The concept of the creature makes me feel like it should be preying on primal and instinctual fears, like how humans have a primal fear of things that skitter while low to the ground, undulating movements, uncanny eye "movements" (some predators have this weird "reflection" of their pupil on their own eye, that makes it look it its gaze is always following you, until it actually does and you see the real pupils), and the like. This thing looks like it evolved specifically to feed on pre-electricity era Architects. And given that it's an ANCIENT Leviathan, it would make sense, since there's some hints that early Architects were very similar mentally to modern Humans.
A good thing that I think you mentioned for the ice dragon leviathan, a growl or roar, likely very deep or low tone sounding with a slight reverb would help. As for the ancient leviathan, a clicking sound for locating prey might emphasize the threat that this leviathan might pose. Many deep sea creature use some sense of sonar for dark locations. That might be a good idea, but id have to do a bit more research.
The roars sound like out of water lions. Not everything has to be loud to be scary or memorable. Imagine some huge beasts that just hum, hiss or whistle when you're in the area.
I think as a ability for the ancient leviathan it could dig under ground and hide and when something goes over it the leviathan would dig up and try bite anything there if you were using a prawn suit you would take a lot of damage
The Ice Dragon kinda reminds me of a sea horse, so maybe a higher pitched scream with more vibrato would be pretty cool. Plus, imaging hearing it literally screech at you as it comes zooming toward you faster than you’ve ever seen a leviathan move.
That moon/planet in the background of the infinite poster looks awefully similar to the moon/background in that concept artwork you showed earlier (which is most likely for that moonbreaker game you're talking about)
With the ancient leviathan, I can't help but feel its missing a form for bass that just echos in your eardrumbs basically. The kind of chill and freezing in your blood a tiger roar would produce basically. Tiger roars hit a pitch that literally tuns prey in a way as far as I understood a documentary explenation about big cats. Because I remember my encounter with the scarier things in subnautica, bigger or smaller and I remember it always produced a chill down my back akin to that.
I am happy that the ice dragon is going to be brought to life, it is absolutely one of my favorite creature designs besides the emperor and the gargantuan leviathans. Also to help you with the ice dragon sounds: I feel like it would sound a bit more metallic and booming, something like a mix between the gargantuan leviathan and indominus Rex? But in the end I'm happy that the ice dragon is going to be brought to life.
I love the sounds for the ice dragon! An idea I had was, since its an ICE dragon mabye during its close roar you can slightly hear that kinda scratchy krinkle noise, or mabye something like this ruclips.net/video/GOMkFOjROSg/видео.html
I just saw something with the background of the photo at 9:27 in the video. If you look in the background between the trivalve similar thing and the building to the left, it's a building found in subnautica. It's the gun from subnautica. Or closely related at least
Me: *Watching and listening to Anthomnia play some of the Ice Dragon Leviathan and Ancient Leviathan sounds* Me: Its just not the same without swimming around in the darkness
Great video dude! And hey Ima put this random idea out here for the Ancient Leviathan's voice clip thingy (idk what to call it and sorry): -When hearing it, I kind of imagine the beast to be something overwhelming, or powerful in a way, and thought that there should be a bit more growl in the cry. (Like a lion's roar, but WAY more threatening) -Even if adding the growl is a bit too much, try maybe extending it bit longer. (like maybe 1-2 seconds longer, nothing too crazy) Overall, I can't wait on the future plans for this!!
The city picture seems like the slums or lower class region of an alterra ran planet, and if moon breaker is the next installment it likely heavily ties into the ending of below zero. The title “moonbreaker” could also quite literally be a plot point of a game either literally or metaphorically destroying a “moon”. Whatever that moon would represent
I feel for the ice dragon, I think a more high pitched screech would work better. The screech of the dragon echoing off the ice walls would work very well. (In my opinion)
It would be so sick if they made the ancient leviathan reside in one of the cave areas, where it could like scuttle around on the walls, and even stalk you around as your travelling, and only just hearing something like a chittering before it jumps at you from an unexpected angle, and in the cyclops the whole sub would rock and throw you off the wheel
I feel like the Ice Dragon needs to have more of a gravely sounding roar (Imagine corpse husbands battle cry) Also I feel like it should be MUCH louder.
With the ancient squid looking thing. I think a sound good for it is something that is unearthly and ominous. A sound that would actually scare people. A shaky roar that does not sound close to other roars. And the ice dragon, give it a roar with something more aggressive. A roar so crisp that you bow down to it you know.
Another idea for the city near the blue planet (possibly 4546B) is that with a company come a city, let me explain. An oil plant that is extremely profitable (in this case 4546B) attracts workers, now it’s far away so builders come and build homes for the workers family to live in. Then grocery stores are built for food for the workers family, and schools for the worker’s children. Now you need teachers and homes for the teachers, and cars to get around and roads and people to build the roads. And then more home for the builders and then non essential services are formed and before you know a whole city is formed. So now of course you aren’t going to build on 4546B, instead you build on that big orange moon that kind of matches the ground in this concept art. Not to mention that colonizing a uninhabitable moon is quite easy since you have super advanced tech in the future. To sum up, i think this is a city built because the dangerous but profitable capabilities of planet of 4546B. And the devs might use this as opening setup where you meet your crew due to the new multiplayer option.
For the Ancient Leviathan it might be nice to have a deep hissing or clicking sounds, with the Ice Leviathan having a quiet call would be rather interesting. The Biter Leviathan could possibly have a “grunting” type of sound, I know that some species of fish will do that to commune with other members of their species.
I just want a simple survive-and-thrive story where we return to the basics of exploring alone, or hopefully with multiplayer, across a vast open world. The story of Subnautica should always be secondary to the gameplay of Subnautica. The exploring and collecting. The ambiance and leviathans. Nobody wants another Beliw Zero. No one.
If it is a crustacean I think it should have some crush station noises like some clicking for the closest proximity and have some small little shouts in clicks it can do every now and then just some feedback awesome video
Really cool stuff! The only thing I can think of when it comes to the sound of the ancient leviathan is that the decay sounds a lot like a reefback. Nothing bad per see. But maybe a change in the decayed sound would make it sound more like it's own creature. Cool stuff non the less!
Broadcast sound for the “crab leviathan “ is missing something... maybe add something that gives it an echo location type sound? Idk. Great work and ideas for them all! Can’t wait for more!!
I have a theory: At 9:32 into the video when you started talking about how the writing on the sign in the art looked very similar to precursor text so pretty much my theory is that humanity and the precursors (if precursors are still alive) have kinda collaborated together a little while after Robin went with al-an to the precursor home world at the end of below zero.
A chittering bug sound might help the sound fit the creature with it being crablike. It could clash its 'armour' (for lack of a better word) and that be part of its cry
This is just a guess on my part: Project M could be a stand-alone prequel to the Subnautica games for Marguerit Maida. For such an interesting and mysterious character, Maida deserves her own game to explain further her story, and what secret mission she was working on prior to her employment by the Torgal Corporation.
I feel the ancient leviathan could use some clacking sound to sound like the legs are scuttling around, or like they are just shifting, feel like it could go a long way
Leviathan #1 (3:40)what if it had more of a chittering sound as opposed to a roar a lot leviathans already have roars so something more unique might be fun
I love how the Ancient Leviathan sounds like a Warper/Crab Squid mash-up. Especially with the design being a Crustacean with tentacles, the sound merge matches the visual merge so much.
I have a recommendation for the creature noise!! It's a little hard to explain, but I think adding a bit of a shudder(?) sound would make them sound far more intimidating and "up-close-and-scary" vibe. I'm pretty sure the ice worm from BZ and the sea dragon from the base game make similar noises, where they have the roar, but a bit of a choppy rumble following the roar. If you listen closely to the other sounds, I think you'll hear it.
For the ice dragon you should take inspiration from the sounds of the sea dragon. In the way that sounded. But I think more raspy, and "cooler" literally and figuratively, like a snow storm blowing
10:37 : also we have some lines on subnautica about the robot from the aliens itself, that PDA says "Assessment: Immobilize and return to Alterra for mutual profit"
I feel like the ancient leviathan with its scurrying legs reminds me of the fear i had when i first saw a crabsquid and with it closely resembling a crab/lobster like structure it’d be interesting hearing some of the crabsquid noise within the noises of the ancient leviathan
I personally think the ice dragon needs to have a bigger boom to it's roar, the far away makes sense but if you're close to it I wanna feel the boom of when it speaks- Other then that glad to see how it's coming so far ^^
Ancient Levi should have most clicking sounds to it, I feel like that would help emphasis the carapace part. One thing that I've noticed with a lot of the Levi's is that they all sound.. similar. The pitch is all relatively in the same guttural-echo-y range. I know the screech of the Garg has some higher pitch and I'd love to hear someone have more of a shrill sound when threatened. I think the ice dragon would be a good candidate. A high pitch screech that "freezes" you to the bone in fear! (eh? EH?) But overall, I love seeing the expansion of these ideas, and can't wait to see more.
I think I would maybe add some higher pitched vibrating sounds to the ancient leviathans voice? Like some bat echolocation, since bottom of the ocean is often dark
I'd actually really like to see a take on the ice dragon's sound that incorporated more of a screech or scream. I mistook what I think is the jelly ray screech in the ambient sound behind the showcase creature sounds to be a part of the Ice Dragon's call and I liked that. Think like the Ghost Leviathan but then instead of a descending sound, made it rise or like a whoop? Might not be exactly what I'd want but some creatures that I think make very good use of that whoop sound are the Boga from Star Wars III (feathered iguana dinosaur thing that Obi Wan rides on Utapau) and the Great Jagi from Monster Hunter Tri. I think that would continue to add some variety to the sounds for the big boys.
I think what would be really good for the ancient leviathan is giving it like a scittering, clicking, and hissing sounds intermingled into the base roar. To make it come across as more alien and sorta insect like as crustaceans tend to be.
Someone already brought up a very good idea for the ancient Leviathan, and the threaten is perfect for the ice dragon, I do feel as if it should be sounding more like a Seadragon but slightly encased in ice/vocal cords being built for extremely low temperatures

Anth, I think a loud, more aggressive roar for the ancient leviathan is missing. Like, more of a throat roar. If you see this, lemme hear some feedback.
Could be deeper and with a bit more echo
I think if you add like the vocals vibrating like Nergigante from mhw would be dope for the ancient leviathan
I really like the frozen leviathan sounds, but I think it needs almost like a rumble at the end and a little more bass. I think the ancient leviathan sounds really good too but a little too similar to the crab squid, can’t exactly tell what it needs though.
The ancient leviathan could maybe use more clicking sounds, like it’s exoskeleton is shaking and readjusting
Will pass this along, I completely agree!
That's what I'm talking about
@@Anthomnia Thank you 🫶
This is exactly what I was thinking too.
I Was Thinking The Same Thing!
I always imagine that the cuddle fish is just a baby ancient leviathan.
And it like the queen that will help you out like but it would attack the leviathan
@@williamnorthcutt230 what
Imagine if the cuddle fish is actually a decendant of the gargantuan leviathan
What if it is because it has tentales just like the sea dragon
And like the most dangerous one too lol
I think both leviathans need more of a shriek, or scream, something that sounds iconic, that makes you think "boy, I really don't want to go there", like the 3 hostile Leviathans from Subnautica. The Ghost Leviathan had an iconic roar that was like a shriek, the Sea Dragon's roar was iconic because it was a bit of a moan, and could be heard from really far away, and the Reaper's roar was iconic because it was so loud, and sounded so fierce and angry.
Yeah, I remember how terrified I was to enter zones that were very deep and dangerous bc of the leviathans.
And the nightmares that come with the roars
I feel like the Ice dragon should have a shrieking scream, Like ice breaking kind of shriek. Kind of like a Ghost Leviathan. The Ancient one I feel is missing some kind of chattering, if not from the teeth then the plates/legs brushing together.
I feel like the ice dragon could have a little more of a metallic shrill in its voice. But this is still so damn cool
I agree
I was gonna say the same thing more of a high pitched scream at the beginning
Yea, I think for both leviathans they can have a longer high pitched shrill at the end of their roars
i completely agree. that’s what i was thinking right as they showed the design
DEFINITELY
I think it would sound cool if the ancient Leviathan was a little more high pitched. The roar is great, but for it to get a little higher by the end so it can transition better into the following clicks. Like rather roar at the beginning and then it morphs into an eagle cry maybe?
For the threat, it would be more accurate personally.
100% agree.
I’m thinking ad an underlying high pitch screech or something along lines of a clicker noise (last of us) with an accent on the growl with the accent more annunciated when threatened
@@gearscrap7751 yeah something like that. I just think that most Leviathans have really deep growl-ly voices and adding a higher pitch will help tell this one apart from the others, a nice change
Pretty much what I was going to say, also, maybe there could be some sounds that were more clicks and chatters?
The Ice Dragon Leviathan sounds like the creature is really small. It definitely needs a much more threatening set of growls and other sound effects. Taking into consideration how massive the Ice Dragon looks, at least in the reference image in the video, it would be the size of the Sea Dragon and the Empress, which would suggest a FAR more threatening set of sounds. Perhaps it would be worth experimenting with pre-existing dragon sounds and attempting to alter them to make it sound like it were underwater. However, I would personally love to hear an almost more majestic roar. Whatever the end result, it needs more depth and vigor per se. I can't wait to see and hear the final result!

@@HWL4Life what?
@@detroyer_warrior4887 sybau
I like the subtly of these concepts. A big, loud, screamy leviathan starts getting old after awhile. It's cool to imagine a quieter, stalking creature, that you only ever really hear "loudly" right before it chomps you.
For the ice dragon, I think it could have more a ringing sound to it. Almost like glass resonating, which could have almost a whale like singing to it, while being more aggressive with that growl.
The ice dragon seems like it almost could be more friendly in its sound aswell in one image it seems non hostile and we dont get that many passive leviathans
I definitely agree, sometimes it's good to have something different than just roaring. Maybe the ice dragon could have some sort of eerie sound to it as well.
ruclips.net/video/v3O9vNi-dkA/видео.html - Thin ice skating has a high pitch eerie ping to it, perfect for echo location and to tell you just how close it is when you're swimming for your life.
That sounds good almost as if it's reflecting off of the ice it would be cool if u couldn't tell where the ice dragon is coming from kinda thing to keep u disorientated
I really like this idea! Hums and ringing screeches sound perfect, it’s not the typical “roar I’m big snd scary” roar which would make it stand out further. It could sound similar to the ghost leviathans except a little more song/ring like with reverberations!
I think the Ice Dragon’s roar should have a sort of back-noise similar to ice shattering, relating to its abilities and general vibe
Didn’t some people use to say that the Ancient Leviathan was burrower/tunneler which is similar to the Ice Worm Leviathan? The only difference that would be between them would be that one lived in water and the other lives on land.
Honestly, I think the ice dragons perfect. It's a sort of opposite to the normal dragon leviathan. Instead of guttural, loud and imposing. It's more quiet and a somber threat. Which makes it instantly more terrifying. Cause it could mess with you thinking it's not as close or dangerous as it sounds. Overall though I like the vibe it has
I feel like the Ancient Leviathan needs to incorporate the 'fast heartbeat' sound. Something that incorporates fear even from a distance. You can almost feel the guttural vibrations from the creature but can not determine an exact location. Almost like it's all around you.
For the Ancient Leviathan, I definitely feel like the "crabsquid as a leviathan" idea for the roar doesn't fit well with the head and mouth shape. Maybe add some crocodile or alligator sounds to it? The Ancient Leviathan seems like it would have a very deep, guttural roar rather than something like the crabsquid, and gators match the guttural sound profile very well.
Yea that makes a lot of sense. I imagine the sort of sound u here in red dead two when the croc/gators are near u. Like the weird hiss type sounds. I’d like to see that but more mighty like yk.
Agreed more of a hiss/ clicking
Was thinking in a similar vein! Bellows could work too.
i think dungeness crab noises also would fit
it doesn't feel like the creature that would roar and shriek. It feels like it would growl and loud, heavy clicks
The dragon needs some bass, it doesn't feel like a threat with the current sound i think, even though the sound itself is well done!
I think the ice dragon leviathan could benefit from some dolphin-like sounds? And I think the ancient leviathan would benefit from a stutter. to have its sounds suddenly cut off and start again rapidly, reflecting its crustacean-like walk would sound scary and amazing. Super excited to see this project develop further! I love this game and this franchise so much and I'm so happy it's getting the attention it deserves.
I think an insect-like clicking would work for the noises for the ancient.
That concept art of the city looks really cool and I can definitely see your links to Subnautica. I'm still a little skeptical though, the specific architecture of the buildings looks a little too "steampunk" to me. You're right, we haven't seen a normal residential or commercial area on an actual human world in the Subnautica universe yet. However, I feel like the design of the base modules and living areas you can build in the game already have a much more "clean and crisp" feel. No exposed piping and that kinda stuff. It's a stark difference to the design of the building of the concept art.
Theoretically we could be looking at a "lower class" area of the planet or city in the Subnautica universe and just not know it. It's plausible. Kinda like the lower levels of Coruscant in the Star Wars universe, where things are in disrepair or neglect.
Well sayed
@@francoispultrum2495 Appreciate it!
Respect
Ya I believe this to be a lower class city on one of 456b’s moons and it’s likely somewhere close to a port of ships judging from some of the ships passing through
I think that the ancient leviathan should have a deep echoey voice so no matter where you are if far or close you have a deep echo that plays kinda sending a chill down your spine.
For the ancient leviathan, I think some lower more base-y undertones and deeper clicking noises that underlay the higher pitched ones would work well, and over all a sort of deep rumbling noise along side it would give it a very terifying subtone. Sounds also resembling like shuffling or shifting or even grinding from the exoskeleton adjusting would add for some great ambiance, really make this thing feel colossal, where even the smallest adjustment sounds like an earthquake to the human ear....
For the Ice Dragon leviathan, I think it for sure needs to be more reverberating and like, feel like it would vibrate your entire body, make your chest shake. I think overlaying more shrieking/rasping/throaty roars onto what is already there would give the calls a bit more meat. Over all, I like the more shriek like roar that layers up suites the Ice Dragons more sleek looking body. I think also adding in some hissing or snarling noises would work well for its style. It reminds me almost like how a big cat (panther/leapord) is so threatening as apex hunters.
Over all, I think a great way to make leviathan class creatures even scarier sounding is to add in subtones reminiscent of what some natural disatsers sound like.
For the ancient Leviathan, i think some kind of Predator esque 'clicking' sounds might work well. (Fun fact, the VA for the Predator actually got the inspiration from seeing a crab bubbling in the sunlight).
As for the Ice Dragon, i gotta say the sounds are very very underwhelming and generic, i'm not sure what kind of sound i'd expect it to make, maybe something like a cross between the Ghost and Sea dragon leviathans, but i'm not a fan of the ones presented.
Another fun fact the VA for the Predator is Peter Cullen himself. He certainly gets around doesn't he.
Ancient leviathan I think they should add in some clicking sounds with it. I know some crustaceans make clicking sounds and I think just mixing that in with the sound you already have and adjusting it could sound great
Personally, I feel like the Ancient Leviathan needs more 'clicks' as though it's trying to echolocate for prey.
For the Ice Dragon, I feel like it needs a sort of 'hiss', like the venting of steam.
K, for the titan or ancient leviathan thingy, I definitely agree with the fact that it is missing something. In my opinion, I feel that a loud screech to make it really feel like a threat, but I'm not saying completely scrap the sound they have right now, but to give it more of a rasp in the back to really make it feel like the creature is putting its heart and soul into hunting you down. For example, I think the reaper leviathan is the scariest leviathan, even though it's not the biggest, or does the most damage in the game, but because of the trauma it will invoke in new players when they first encounter one, and even then that is not the scary part, the scary part is the fact that you now know that things like that are out there, and occasionally hearing the distant screams with that all out roar is what really seals the deal for me.
TLDR: Put a rasp in the scream to make it feel more like a sincere and aggressive scream.
16:32 when I hear that, all I can picture is entering a deep cave and accidentally setting off a chain reaction of bioluminescent flora that reveals the cave going hundreds of metres further.
You always make my Day with these Updates! I literally Ramble about these things to my friends(They have no idea what I’m talking about half the time) But I just LOVE THE New Leviathan Sounds!For the Ancient Leviathan I would say- Add like boom sounds after it clicks, And As it walks its using Strange clicking and Somehow like Distorted Whale clicks and Howls,
For the Ice dragon Leviathan, Maybe Make it more Gutteral and When it roars it Splays out its “wings” as it threatens, And when near other Ice Dragons it Makes More Of gentle bellows, as if it’s talking to one another
I know I’m about 10 days behind on this, but take a look at the poster at 14:42. It looks a lot like a sea moth with tank treads. Now, go to 8:21 and zoom in in the street in the background. It’s a VERY similar looking rover with the same design. Also, the concept art being in orbit around what’s assumed to be 4546b and being codenamed “moonbreaker” mixed with a general low income industrial park vibe could hint that it takes place on the moon of 4546b and trying to crack through to a mineral rich core and it goes wrong, leaving you left on the moon alone in a similar situation to Subnautica
this looks amazing!!! for sound help i have a few ideas:
ancient leviathan: i LOVE the beginning but i feel like the reefback-like rumble at the end doesnt really fit in, there was a comment about clicking because of the exoskeleton and that could sound neat!
ice dragon: maybe some sharp hissing? king cobra sounds could be good inspo!
for the concept art: i dont really think that looks like what the main game could look like, maybe for cutscenes or if somehow the player(s) made it to there but it was abandoned (because i dont think that having many npcs is subnautica's thing outside of voice acting) but other than that it could just have been nothing *or* something for another game, since i think i remember that the next game will likely be a survival
either way im super hyped for everything!!! good luck and godspeed on development, it looks incredible already :D
Love the video can't wait for the leviathans! (Could add clacking-like sounds that some crustaceans use for communication to the ancient leviathan)
Exactly my guy.
I feel like the ice dragon has an intelligence on par with an orca, smarter than an animal, less intelligent than a person. It can understand voices, but not language sort of deal.
its super refreshing seeing a game ive been playing since early access grow and also the devs stick with it and make super solid addons and constantly be dripping little hints of upcoming content
I need to see and hear the ancient one to really make a decision on how it should sound. Like an animated ancient one and hear it’s roar to go in a direction of its sound
3:25 The close broadcast for the ANCIENT LEVIATHAN is scary but I think it should have a echo effect and maybe make it alittle louder. But honestly I love this video
P.s. I didn't know I've dragon was a thing till recently. But I just think it looks Awesome
Well moonbraker as you say is set in same universe, but that road map says "turn-based strategy", which i think would also explain hiring for that job position. And with wanting for next proper subnautica be more innovative, it will be some time.
The crab's close threaten sound ends in this really cool tune that he should 100% use more often.. that "clicking" almost laughing sound
The Ice Dragon Looks like it does some something in the higher pitch range. Like a sound wave attack that would be debilitating to an enemy as it lacks any type of offensive appendages.
Hell yeah. Anthomnia uploading is the best thing to happen to my night. I love this guys content so much. And the subnautica videos
I'm waiting for the most soul crushing april fools roast ever xD
So tempted xD. Also, thank you so much for noticing my existence Anthomnia. This is the best moment of my life.
I want them to bring back the feeling of terror as Below Zero had too much visibility and too much vibrancy compared to the first subnautica... I don't know but the first subnautica had the right amount of visibility where its enough for you to think i don't want to see anything but at the same time you don't want to see anything more which made a sense of something being out there but you dont know where and what because it forced you to explore the dark regions whereas for example in below zero the shadow leviathan is too noticeable and your first encounter you get given a warning before which is quite boring, especially when you compare going into the dunes with a seamoth at night in the first game which is the most terrifying thing in the game since all you see is the void.
I think for the ice dragon leviathan it should be pitched up a little and sound course like metal scraping on ice.
For the ancient levitation I think it should be more resonate like a large cave vibrating and definitely some big clicking sounds
More clicking in the roar would be awesome for the ancient leviathan, like I would imagine it would use some sort of sound that would bounce more off the walls for it to see prey or something
Given the design of the Ancient Leviathan, I can't help but imagine keeping that deep, gutteral chittering it does, while throwing in some H.R. Geiger influence by adding a hybrid Predator-Alien style feel to it, plus keeping to a similar sound design of the crustacean creatures on the planet as well, like the crabsquids. Lots of low grumbles and groans, chittering and clicking, with a kind of hollow, low echo to it, as though it's using its own shell as a sort of Vocal sac like some Toads and monkeys do.
The concept of the creature makes me feel like it should be preying on primal and instinctual fears, like how humans have a primal fear of things that skitter while low to the ground, undulating movements, uncanny eye "movements" (some predators have this weird "reflection" of their pupil on their own eye, that makes it look it its gaze is always following you, until it actually does and you see the real pupils), and the like. This thing looks like it evolved specifically to feed on pre-electricity era Architects. And given that it's an ANCIENT Leviathan, it would make sense, since there's some hints that early Architects were very similar mentally to modern Humans.
I think for both leviathans they can have a longer high pitched shrill at the end of their roars
A good thing that I think you mentioned for the ice dragon leviathan, a growl or roar, likely very deep or low tone sounding with a slight reverb would help. As for the ancient leviathan, a clicking sound for locating prey might emphasize the threat that this leviathan might pose. Many deep sea creature use some sense of sonar for dark locations. That might be a good idea, but id have to do a bit more research.
The roars sound like out of water lions. Not everything has to be loud to be scary or memorable.
Imagine some huge beasts that just hum, hiss or whistle when you're in the area.
Those sounds are amazing, its maybe too close to a tiger for the ancient leviathan. They need little change but other than that its borderline perfect
Ancient leviathan sounds like when the sea emporer is trying to contact you. Could use some more scare or make it more unique.
I think the ice dragon needs a bit more of a low undertone to express the size and power of it rather than the higher pitch currently.
I think as a ability for the ancient leviathan it could dig under ground and hide and when something goes over it the leviathan would dig up and try bite anything there if you were using a prawn suit you would take a lot of damage
The Ice Dragon kinda reminds me of a sea horse, so maybe a higher pitched scream with more vibrato would be pretty cool. Plus, imaging hearing it literally screech at you as it comes zooming toward you faster than you’ve ever seen a leviathan move.
That moon/planet in the background of the infinite poster looks awefully similar to the moon/background in that concept artwork you showed earlier (which is most likely for that moonbreaker game you're talking about)
With the ancient leviathan, I can't help but feel its missing a form for bass that just echos in your eardrumbs basically. The kind of chill and freezing in your blood a tiger roar would produce basically. Tiger roars hit a pitch that literally tuns prey in a way as far as I understood a documentary explenation about big cats. Because I remember my encounter with the scarier things in subnautica, bigger or smaller and I remember it always produced a chill down my back akin to that.
I am happy that the ice dragon is going to be brought to life, it is absolutely one of my favorite creature designs besides the emperor and the gargantuan leviathans. Also to help you with the ice dragon sounds: I feel like it would sound a bit more metallic and booming, something like a mix between the gargantuan leviathan and indominus Rex? But in the end I'm happy that the ice dragon is going to be brought to life.
I love the sounds for the ice dragon! An idea I had was, since its an ICE dragon mabye during its close roar you can slightly hear that kinda scratchy krinkle noise, or mabye something like this ruclips.net/video/GOMkFOjROSg/видео.html
OH. I like this. I'm going to pass it on to Simon!!!
I just saw something with the background of the photo at 9:27 in the video. If you look in the background between the trivalve similar thing and the building to the left, it's a building found in subnautica. It's the gun from subnautica. Or closely related at least
Me: *Watching and listening to Anthomnia play some of the Ice Dragon Leviathan and Ancient Leviathan sounds*
Me: Its just not the same without swimming around in the darkness
As for the Ice Dragon, the Dragon definitely- as mentioned somewhere in this comment section-should have a more metallic and guttural roar.
Great video dude!
And hey Ima put this random idea out here for the Ancient Leviathan's voice clip thingy (idk what to call it and sorry):
-When hearing it, I kind of imagine the beast to be something overwhelming, or powerful in a way, and thought that there should be a bit more growl in the cry. (Like a lion's roar, but WAY more threatening)
-Even if adding the growl is a bit too much, try maybe extending it bit longer. (like maybe 1-2 seconds longer, nothing too crazy)
Overall, I can't wait on the future plans for this!!
The city picture seems like the slums or lower class region of an alterra ran planet, and if moon breaker is the next installment it likely heavily ties into the ending of below zero. The title “moonbreaker” could also quite literally be a plot point of a game either literally or metaphorically destroying a “moon”. Whatever that moon would represent
I feel for the ice dragon, I think a more high pitched screech would work better. The screech of the dragon echoing off the ice walls would work very well. (In my opinion)
It would be so sick if they made the ancient leviathan reside in one of the cave areas, where it could like scuttle around on the walls, and even stalk you around as your travelling, and only just hearing something like a chittering before it jumps at you from an unexpected angle, and in the cyclops the whole sub would rock and throw you off the wheel
I feel like the Ice Dragon needs to have more of a gravely sounding roar (Imagine corpse husbands battle cry) Also I feel like it should be MUCH louder.
With the ancient squid looking thing. I think a sound good for it is something that is unearthly and ominous. A sound that would actually scare people. A shaky roar that does not sound close to other roars. And the ice dragon, give it a roar with something more aggressive. A roar so crisp that you bow down to it you know.
Add a louder shudder and high pitch noise over the top on the ancient leviathan
OH LA MINIATURE C4EST PAS TOI WOLA
I really liked the tentacle version more, sad to see they went a different direction but just as excited to what they decide to do with it
honestly not everything needs tentacles yk
@@DjKhaleeb04 some things do
Another idea for the city near the blue planet (possibly 4546B) is that with a company come a city, let me explain. An oil plant that is extremely profitable (in this case 4546B) attracts workers, now it’s far away so builders come and build homes for the workers family to live in. Then grocery stores are built for food for the workers family, and schools for the worker’s children. Now you need teachers and homes for the teachers, and cars to get around and roads and people to build the roads. And then more home for the builders and then non essential services are formed and before you know a whole city is formed. So now of course you aren’t going to build on 4546B, instead you build on that big orange moon that kind of matches the ground in this concept art. Not to mention that colonizing a uninhabitable moon is quite easy since you have super advanced tech in the future. To sum up, i think this is a city built because the dangerous but profitable capabilities of planet of 4546B. And the devs might use this as opening setup where you meet your crew due to the new multiplayer option.
For the Ancient Leviathan it might be nice to have a deep hissing or clicking sounds, with the Ice Leviathan having a quiet call would be rather interesting. The Biter Leviathan could possibly have a “grunting” type of sound, I know that some species of fish will do that to commune with other members of their species.
I just want a simple survive-and-thrive story where we return to the basics of exploring alone, or hopefully with multiplayer, across a vast open world.
The story of Subnautica should always be secondary to the gameplay of Subnautica. The exploring and collecting. The ambiance and leviathans. Nobody wants another Beliw Zero. No one.
If it is a crustacean I think it should have some crush station noises like some clicking for the closest proximity and have some small little shouts in clicks it can do every now and then just some feedback awesome video
It’s 130 am, I’m walking through a dark hallway in my house, the ad ends, your intro starts and a genuine fight or flight respond occurs
Really cool stuff! The only thing I can think of when it comes to the sound of the ancient leviathan is that the decay sounds a lot like a reefback. Nothing bad per see. But maybe a change in the decayed sound would make it sound more like it's own creature. Cool stuff non the less!
Broadcast sound for the “crab leviathan “ is missing something... maybe add something that gives it an echo location type sound? Idk. Great work and ideas for them all! Can’t wait for more!!
I can't even imagine the sensation you'll get when it's in game. Hearing the bass of it and the rumblings of the controller. Can't wait
I would like the calls of the ancient leviathan to be a bit shorter and not as streching. This would show that it is more aggressive than intimidating
I have a theory: At 9:32 into the video when you started talking about how the writing on the sign in the art looked very similar to precursor text so pretty much my theory is that humanity and the precursors (if precursors are still alive) have kinda collaborated together a little while after Robin went with al-an to the precursor home world at the end of below zero.
A chittering bug sound might help the sound fit the creature with it being crablike. It could clash its 'armour' (for lack of a better word) and that be part of its cry
This is just a guess on my part: Project M could be a stand-alone prequel to the Subnautica games for Marguerit Maida. For such an interesting and mysterious character, Maida deserves her own game to explain further her story, and what secret mission she was working on prior to her employment by the Torgal Corporation.
I feel the ancient leviathan could use some clacking sound to sound like the legs are scuttling around, or like they are just shifting, feel like it could go a long way
I think it could use an aspect with its feet crawling on the sea floor to add to the feeling of something crawling/ chasing you
Leviathan #1 (3:40)what if it had more of a chittering sound as opposed to a roar a lot leviathans already have roars so something more unique might be fun
For a idea maybe have it dig underground but it’s scales could be seen poking up and if you get to close it jumps up and try’s to eat you
I love how the Ancient Leviathan sounds like a Warper/Crab Squid mash-up. Especially with the design being a Crustacean with tentacles, the sound merge matches the visual merge so much.
I have a recommendation for the creature noise!! It's a little hard to explain, but I think adding a bit of a shudder(?) sound would make them sound far more intimidating and "up-close-and-scary" vibe. I'm pretty sure the ice worm from BZ and the sea dragon from the base game make similar noises, where they have the roar, but a bit of a choppy rumble following the roar. If you listen closely to the other sounds, I think you'll hear it.
For the ice dragon you should take inspiration from the sounds of the sea dragon. In the way that sounded.
But I think more raspy, and "cooler" literally and figuratively, like a snow storm blowing
The ancient leviathan sound reminds me of the big lobster from. Atlantis, if you add like a loud whaling noice for the idle would probably be cool
The sounds of the crustatoin like lavation clicks like him clicking his teeth and screeches
10:37 : also we have some lines on subnautica about the robot from the aliens itself, that PDA says "Assessment: Immobilize and return to Alterra for mutual profit"
I’ve always thought it would be cool to have baby leviathans follow you around like pets if you hatch them
I feel like the ancient leviathan with its scurrying legs reminds me of the fear i had when i first saw a crabsquid and with it closely resembling a crab/lobster like structure it’d be interesting hearing some of the crabsquid noise within the noises of the ancient leviathan
Definitely that sound after the roar throughout the sound for the ancient leviathan
I personally think the ice dragon needs to have a bigger boom to it's roar, the far away makes sense but if you're close to it I wanna feel the boom of when it speaks-
Other then that glad to see how it's coming so far ^^
Ancient Levi should have most clicking sounds to it, I feel like that would help emphasis the carapace part. One thing that I've noticed with a lot of the Levi's is that they all sound.. similar. The pitch is all relatively in the same guttural-echo-y range. I know the screech of the Garg has some higher pitch and I'd love to hear someone have more of a shrill sound when threatened. I think the ice dragon would be a good candidate. A high pitch screech that "freezes" you to the bone in fear! (eh? EH?) But overall, I love seeing the expansion of these ideas, and can't wait to see more.
I think I would maybe add some higher pitched vibrating sounds to the ancient leviathans voice? Like some bat echolocation, since bottom of the ocean is often dark
I think for it being a crustacean it could do with maybe a more whole and constant droning type sound. something more echo/clacking like
I'd actually really like to see a take on the ice dragon's sound that incorporated more of a screech or scream. I mistook what I think is the jelly ray screech in the ambient sound behind the showcase creature sounds to be a part of the Ice Dragon's call and I liked that. Think like the Ghost Leviathan but then instead of a descending sound, made it rise or like a whoop? Might not be exactly what I'd want but some creatures that I think make very good use of that whoop sound are the Boga from Star Wars III (feathered iguana dinosaur thing that Obi Wan rides on Utapau) and the Great Jagi from Monster Hunter Tri. I think that would continue to add some variety to the sounds for the big boys.
for the ainchent laviathin (or as i have been calling it, scutuls) you should add clicking towards the end of all of the sounds
15:43 when you said "interact" my mind instantly went to bull riding a reaper leviathan, just imagine that
I think what would be really good for the ancient leviathan is giving it like a scittering, clicking, and hissing sounds intermingled into the base roar. To make it come across as more alien and sorta insect like as crustaceans tend to be.
Someone already brought up a very good idea for the ancient Leviathan, and the threaten is perfect for the ice dragon, I do feel as if it should be sounding more like a Seadragon but slightly encased in ice/vocal cords being built for extremely low temperatures
