Hey Maybe a creature that spits at you with mucus like a Dilophosaurus
what if in the void there are currents so that if u are not careful you might get swept away or maby pulled closer to danger...
Also there can be some fishies in the currents so you can see them :/
@@elliotgry4523 Cool Idea
@@Mr_Jurassic tnx same
@@elliotgry4523 😊☺️
Dude I've been yearning for more subnautica/ocean exploration games. This is beginning to look pretty dope.
Subnautica is a huge inspiration of mine. I'm loving watching Aci's progress with this mod this is gunna be special.
There’s Breathedge. It’s a parody of Subnautica, but it’ll scratch that itch
I love that you’re trying as much as possible to stay true to how the devs designed their creatures. Like, this is actually going to feel like an official DLC. Can’t wait
I love how even Nordvpn has gotten the Kharra Virus
Bacteria*
I know this is extremely nit-picky, and I'm sorry for that, the joke was funny, I just obsessively feel the need to point this out because viruses are overused in fiction, and bacteria are far scarier anyway.
@@devoutrelic1228 I am not certain, but is it called Virus or Backteria in the Game? I think you are right and its called backteria, even if its called so you are right the scientific way. Thank you, i apriciate feedback under every circumstance of my life.
(you can also give me feedback for my english i think i might have some language or writing mistakes here and there, i have gooten my english skills mostly through scool, games and videos.
i dont know if anyone asked for this,
but im a german.
and like everyone in Europa i dont understand the metric system)
@@TheUnimaterLp The game calls it a bacteria, many times. It's actually a very important aspect of how the Kharaa works, as it does things viruses cannot. This is only mentioned once in the whole game, so I don't blame people for not knowing this, but the Kharaa doesn't kill you on PURPOSE.
Instead, it ADDS ONTO your genetic code, causing rapid mutations (like the green blisters on your skin). It doesn't do this in a very effective or controlled way however, resulting in most creatures simply dying because they can't withstand suddenly growing extra organs. But it notably doesn't just outright kill EVERYTHING, because some creatures survive and pass on these extreme mutations as part of basic evolution. This is most noticeable in the Lava Zone, where we see both the largest number of infected creatures, and the CRAZIEST creatures, with the PDA constantly pointing out how strange and unheard of these kinds of animals are (like the Lava Lizards and Sea Dragons swallowing lava and using it as a weapon, the Lava Larva being able to survive on pure electricity, etc.) The implication is that these are likely traits CAUSED by Kharaa, and these species simply learned to live alongside it over many generations, and even benefit from the random changes it made. This doesn't mean they're IMMUNE to the bacteria, as they can still be infected, just that previous generations managed to pass on the new mutations as traits before dying, allowing their children to carry on those traits.
Some of this is just speculation, but most of it is leftover lore from back when the idea was to have Subnautica and Natural Selection (their other main game at the time) be in the same universe, where Subnautica was meant to act as a prequel. We can see in Natural Selection where the developers were going with this, and what happens when creatures DO manage to survive these extreme mutations. Since the entire writing team at Unknown Worlds has been replaced though, I'm not sure how much of that is canon anymore.
You don't need to apologize for English not being your first language, but I do hope that you understand enough of this explanation so I didn't waste typing it out, lol.
@@devoutrelic1228 Thank you man, it was very interesting. Every comment section needs a "Well actually" guy. Keep up the good work.
I didnt knew the games were connected. I knew that Natural Selection was a game from Unknown Worlds (of course i knew, i have a poster from it hanging in my trusty cyclops (which im proud of, i never lost)) but i didnt knew that a bit of the Lore was connected somehow.
A good evening, or what time of the day it is currently in your time zone. (I am just gessing you are from America)
@@TheUnimaterLp There are actually several connections between the games, though Natural Selection doesn't really have much of a direct story, and most of it's plot is in the environment and map descriptions.
Both games have Alterra in them, and both games mention the Trans-System Federation (the inter-government military meant to keep peace between the different trans-govs, you actually play as them on the human side in NS).
Both games also have the Kharaa in them, though it's very different in Natural Selection as it has evolved a lot since it broke the quarantine at some point on 4546B and started mutating different species from various planets, eventually becoming an intelligent hivemind capable of advanced planning and using it's mutations to create living biological weapons out of the species it infects
An earlier version of Below Zero (before the entire writing team was replaced and almost every part of the story was completely changed) actually explained how the bacteria escaped the planet, because you took a sample of it from the frozen leviathan and sent it up to a space station to be researched, but we later learned that it actually escaped a lab on that station, starting a mass evacuation of both the station and planet, presumably leading into the events of Natural Selection, but that's all been rewritten and in the current story you just...cure it, and that's that, so we don't know where on the timeline the two games are from each other now.
Cool creature concept: The corpse fall shark. its a shark that looks like an irl whale fall. most are actually corpses which give a resource, maybe their bones could act like a weak crystal, but some of the corpses are still alive and will ambush you when you come to close. i imagine they let some small fish feed on their skin to sell the illusion knowing that it will be worth it when they catch some larger prey. i think one of the tells that it is still alive is if a certain type of fish is feeding on it or not so that observant players can tell if it is really dead. it would probably live in sparse environments and have a fetid white coloration.
thank you for reading this, hope you like my idea
Maybe a living one could be swimming slightly so it doesnt actually sink to the bottom, so if you wait long enough you would see it swimming around slowly
I have a ton of respect for you showing "mistakes" in these videos, and not just polished pre-rendered content.
It's amazing to actually see these added features as works-in-progress.
feedback: you will need a biome that is and feels safe to make the player take a mental break resulting in them feeling more terrified at the next encounter with danger due to the sudden contrast
We have something like that in the works
@@SnarkySlothmaybe the ray-whale-things’ hatchery or something?
I can’t wait to see gameplay for this.
Hi, i love the idea of call o the void🥰. My little idea could be that on the farthest island could be skeleton of the void chelicerete, you would get PDA saying that it is fresh skeleton that was eaten alive.
Pretty good idea
this is definetly gonna bring life back to this game
Verticality may help a lot to make space in the limited map size. And parts of the base game Crater slope are too sudden of a drop, so you may be able to make the slopes more gradual with half-collapsed deep volcanic cave fissures (as sanctuary areas or predatory nests inside).
Creature-wise...the twice-cut Dragonfly Bird deserves love. It could maybe flying between the Mountains and the Floating Islands, giving a natural direction to those locations.
Compatibility-wise, ideally, Call of the Void would make use of the space around the Western map (Dunes/Sea Treaders Path), while Return of the Ancients would use space around Eastern Map (the Crash Zone/Crag Field/Bulb Zone)
I always assumed it would be situated somewhere around the northern blood kelp zone void boundary, close to where the underwater islands are (since they're thematically related).
The fact that he went out of his way just to add nordvpn "fish" shows how much effort he puts into videos!
Imagine owning a giant base in the void clusters between multiple islands that would be cool as heck
If they can get the planned leviathans to work the way they want to. It would be super difficult to keep a base of that size from getting attacked all the time. I feel like it’ll be quite difficult to build a base in the void until you’ve discovered some of the tech that can be utilized to defend and reinforce your base.
I think a natural powersource could be cool:
Like when you get really deep you dont want to build a base everytime. I think some Sort of energy Chrystal (sorry for my bad english) could be a good Solution.
I imagine that you need a specific module to charge up at the energy chrystals and then it works kind of like a heat reactor in the lava zone.
Greetings from Germany
reminds me of the piezo crystal in barotrauma, so maybe this could be a hazard, that can be used for energy if you get the right things..
In Baro the piezo crystal is a harzard that will zap your submarine and destroy electrical systems through overvoltage.
Übrigens dein englisch ist nicht so schlecht
@@agrimmlock6853 Danke, hatte nur keine Ahnung wie man Kristall schreibt
@@TheUnimaterLpso schlecht ist dein englisch nicht, wegen ein wort muss man sich nichts daraus machen 😂😅
und du bist beser in englisch als die meisten englischen heut-zutage
Komme aus England und lebe in deutschland für seit letzten jahr august also spint mein deutsch noch ein wenig :D
@@marcusKekse1111 Its ok, you can understand it, and that is what you want to achieve. Aber das du "es spinnt" im richtigen Kontext benutzt zeigt schonmal, das du es begriffen hast.
I’m glad you took my recommendation from the last video to talk about the smaller fauna😊
Maybe the jellyfish could be a different type of Floater/Ancient Floater? Instead of hooking on the islands it’ll just float around and its tentacles will give shelter to symbiotic fishes like anemones and clownfish!
This project is fucking amewsome, I never knew what this actually was supposed to be when I saw the trailers, truth be told I never expected you will pull this off! Good luck with the project, I'm very excited!
We need hermit squid to have customisable hats.
SERIOUSLY WE NEED IT
Damn this mod is looking sweet! You and the team have really put in the effort, Aci!
I'd love to see single cell biome
I had a dream once, where I was stuck on the edge of the void in the subnautica world. And as I’m looking down this pure white serpent with some weird corals on it comes up, stares at me, and then proceeds to chase me down and eat me. Terrible dream woke up drenched in sweat lol
The islands at the beginning are quite good, especially since you've got the Hydra right above one of them. And if you can place a hat on the hermits then that would be quite adorable!
I may be a bit late to this but I have two ideas
Your swimming to the next island, and it looks like a safe place, bright plants and food sources, and crystals everywhere. But as you get the close, the Mirage falls and you see a dangerous forest, and tentacles from the plant reach out the grab you and/or your sub. If you manage to escape, another creature is waiting to take you down instead. I thought this might add to the "thinking your safe for a moment but your really not" vibe to this mod.
For a creature idea, it's a smaller creature but it could be cool.
The Acidfish looks a Lionfish, but a longer tail and longer fins. It's main scales are gray or black, and it's accents being gray-blue.
You don't see this creature as it blends in well with its surroundings, to protect its self from predators, but if you go to close, it sprays an acid around its self as a defense, damaging the player and giving a slow damage affect even after you get away from the area. Hope you like these!
I just love that you love the game as much as I do. What I would also add is changing the recepies for regular items like knife, repair tool etc. We all start the game and we know exactly what to do for the first 2-3 days in subnautica before we start the jorney. Something like Realistic Craft 2.0 mod I think it would give a DLC-like update like this a fresh new look.
dude, im so happy to sea you finally able to work on a project like this
ive been a huge fan of yours ever since i got into subnautica and was always mildly hoping that you could put all of your creativity and ideas into something amazing like this
looking forward to what you have for everyone next!
Maybe you could pull a little bit of inspiration from Below Zero with cold; the deeper and further out you go, the colder the water gets (like reverse lava zone). With the cold, you could either get a new type of suit to keep you warm outside bases/Hydra, or have some sort of heat generation that lets you swim by it, being thermal vents (which wouldn't make sense given the islands' disconnection from the planet's core), underwater versions of Thermal Lillies, or even a swimming creature that somehow producec heat.
One one hand, I’m really excited to explore the work you have in store and how you’ve changed up the base game.
On the other hand… I have gotten comfortable memorizing the layout of the original game and I’m still terrified of ocean exploration.
Still, this looks worth checking out!
I just learned about the hermit squid, so this fella makes up for the impending trauma I might endure from the expansion!
This video fills me with pure joy.
3:52 Yes oh my god yes craft able novelty hats for this little guy and taming mechanic 100%
Coming back to your channel after years I did NOT expect anything like this! This is so cool! Cant wait to play it
Dont know how difficult it would be, but a tiny hermitsquid for the alien containment would be adorable
Here’s a unique creature idea disguises itself as a normal edible fish but is an extremely dangerous predator similar to an anglerfish
The Hydra needs to play funky music while it’s being destroyed, just like the Cyclops, nothing like having a rave while everything around me collapses into nothingness
It's amazing that you succeeded in adding terrarin outside of the base map!
an idea for a creature is the void dragon. the concept for the ice dragon inspired this. it is bigger than the frozen leviathan. it looks kind of like a combination of the sea shocker, thunderdrum, and deathsong from how to train your dragon, but it is completely black with white bioluminescent spots. it is an ambush predator, and if you can lure another leviathan to it, it will go for that instead of you, and each time you do this, it has a one percent chance of taming the thing. supposedly, it is a distant relative of the gargantuan leviathan.
An idea for a new leviathan: Hermit Leviathan
If you dive underneath some of the islands (for some insane reason), some of them may have been partially hollowed out by a giant crustacean who now calls it home. Using its craggy exoskeleton and claws, it plugs the holes it digs into the islands and camouflages itself so you can't see anything unusual. When a suitable prey item swims close enough, it snaps out and grabs them in its pincers before dragging it in towards its mouth. I think this could be a really cool obstacle, especially if you put a resource exclusively available on the bottoms of the islands.
for the jellyfish it could be fun if there is an ancient version, thats overgrown and therefore looks like an island from afar
I don't know about anyone else but the concept of a large morray-like eel creature stalking me in deep dark water terrifies me. It could have lights on it that mimick harmless schools of fish to be unassuming. I would love to see something like that.
I’m actually really excited for this mod to come to fruition. I’m very excited to play the shard that releases soon!
The only reason why I didn’t skip theNordVPN is I want to have this mod come out
Good to see the mod is progressing :D
I fucking love the droop tree.
So... sharing a few ideas...
First, I don't imagin fish would be a common resorce to eat out here... so maybe a device that makes those food cubes ||Can't rememebr what they are called|| can be found... I can see it working in 2 ways. First, you take food products that can be prossesed, fish, seaweed, so on, stuff it into this machine, and it would basicly turn it into a nutrision cube for your enjoyment and long stable shelf life... or we make it like the Water Purifier you can build onto your walls in your base. Basicly take this thing, place it agenst the wall, it will harvest algee and other materials from the water, and slowly produce these cubes.
Second... how about we find the crashed ship... or parts of it, that came from the Sun Beam or from that exploration team that came before. I think it would be cool to ether have a ship spawn down there that you could explore and go through some air pockets digging around and hunting for resorces and maybe hoping for survivors.
Third, I always wondered what would modivate a Ghost Leviathan to lay its eggs so far away from where it lives, so what if you made a monster that is ment to hunt the Ghosts. I kind of am thinking of this slug or catapiller looking thing that would have long tendrals on its back, where its goal would be to reach out and maybe spray some kind of chemical to make getting away harder... And I think it would be interesting if it where to ignore the player if they are on their own, using the sea glide or maybe even the sea moth... but go bigger and you grab its attention because its not worth it for something that big to get all moving and exited for something small, its better off eating and fighting the bigger meals.
The islands already look very amazing.
THIS LOOKS SO COOL!!!
I haven’t seen your channel in a while but when I came across this series I really loved it. I hope this becomes a real thing sometime
❤nice progress you are doing guys!! Congratulations
OH, YOU'RE A DEVELOPER! OF ONE OF MY FAVORITE GAMES....SHOULDA MENTIONED THAT SOONER! SUBSCRIBED!
I'm not, I'm just creating a mod for Subnautica :)
So question will call of the void be compatible with return of the ancient because it would BEEE SICK
it would but rota’s development is a little interesting so far
Can The ghost leviathans follow you onto the islands?
Scythophobic mode to replace jellyfish because they literally scare me to death.
6:36, Stringbean!
Dude, I got subnatica for my pc JUST so i can play this when its done! I cant wait to see how this goes!
so glad i found you man. im gonna be here to support this as much as i can. if i can get my hands on some money i swear im gonna support this coz this is amazing. this is quite literally everything the playerbase adores the og subnautica for. love what you have going
HEY ACI, big question here: when the mod comes out, would you be able upload a detailed video on how to install/use it? I’m quite interested in this mod and have been following it for a while but have no modding experience in subnautica, so something like this would be greatly appreciated 😁
Sure thing!
@@Aci_yt tysm 🫶
You must add crystal batterys to tools and vehicles
I hope this will work with Return of The Ancients
Just imagine seeing the Garg while hiding in a void island
I really hope that the two modding teams contact each other so that the two most epic mod projects are harmonizing well.
I would just love to explore ACI's Void with the potential danger of a Garg and the alternative story of ROTA in the crater in one safe.
Ok, this might sound weird but... what if there was a patch of iceberg that drifted from the place in below zero and had those arctic reaper concept fish from when below zero was coming out, it probably doesn't make sense but you could say it appears in the void, idk but think about it please, also you guys are doing a great job!😁
Just seeing these first couple of fishes and the unfinished terrain with the droning, distinctly alien and somehow mesmerizing music in the background is reminding me of how I felt when I first saw the early builds of Subnautica. You seem to have a very good understanding of what makes this game special. Keep up the good work.
Please continue these videos :)
I swear if you make water spiders I’m going to scream
Imagine there is some sort of creature similar to the sandshark but its got a lure for the player and other creatures, maybe something shiney or glowy on that lure. If its something shiny then probobly a much needed resource that the only way to tell the difference is with a certain sound cue or if its glowy then a new food in this biome that the player can eat. A name for this idea of a creature would be the sangler (sandshark angler)
If someone is an architect and sees this comment, give this food for thought
What the hell!? The Guardian Spider is THAT BIG!? It can tear up the Aurora if it wanted!
Are there plans to add a type of void bladderfish/water source variant? Granted having a small farm in the sub would probably suffice but it's always nice to have options
We're looking into replacements for/variants of for all common resources that dont directly spawn in the void clusters!
Would like to see if void editor would be ever as popular as hammer
4:55-ugh, ew dude, what the fuck?!
---
Holy Jesus, what is that, what the fuck is that, WHAT IS THAT THING?!
---
No god, no god please no, no, no…NNNOOOOOO!!!
I really like the snake it looks cool 😎
This is gonna be the coolest and scariest shit ever!
2:13 nort got kharaa
Strange question but are you gonna add the existing concept leviathans? For example the giant shark one or turtle
I have to say I'm so exited for this I'm a huge fan of subnautica and all of this we've seen so far is amazing and I can't wait to SEA more of it in game like this over time
This is incredibly exciting. It's great you're even getting sponsors for this as well!
what about a creature about the size of a squidshark that eats any small enough fauna that spills over from the crater?
Spiraling candycane snake, whats next? Checked picknick blanket laviathan?
I bet if I play it I gonna panic with the big mouth fish because of thought it a leviathan
I should do something like this for my game.... but I don't have much presentable stuff yet.
A Dragon (with biolumena)
Wouldn’t it be smart, if you make something like crawlers?
What if you add the _"Alpha Ray"_ which is the ancestor to all rays. It lived in deep biomes and was good at adapting. Sounds like a great addition to The Void!!
Hey man, I think I just found your time capsule from pre-release. I think it's yours but I'm not sure. It said ,,let me know if you find it"
It's probably mine yeah! ^^
Will this mad be released on Nexus?When it's out , I hope it is because that means people on p c will be able to get it
im very exited for this mod !
This could even be better than return of the ancients and we know your progress on the mod because of your RUclips channel and I don't even know if call of the void is gonna come out anymore also you could add a really deep Island that is very very far down in the void and it could be very very dark down there but Lots of treasure down there
At this point the developers of Return of the Ancients should just drop the Garg for 2.0 for everyone.
The mod may not be absolute perfect and balanced, but it is so far the greatest mod to exist I guess and everyone wants to play it.
Better of with some awesome content, than now with nothing...
You know what, I've been (quietly) extremely skeptical of tne viability of this mods scope and with the addition of custom terrain and fish models a lot of that skepticism has melted away. Nice work!
Something I think you could use for a creature/the story of your mod are the warpers, they are intelligentsia and where without precursor supervision for 1000 years, maybe you could do something like a village of warpers, or small society, when you are infected you will until be attacked, but when you cure the planet you can interect with they like trade (can be similar of trade with piglings on Minecraft) or do Other things, hope I help😅
Daaamn, I just rewatched the deep dive series and trailer last night, now this drops today
I love it. Your doing a great job… I’m tight on money but boy would I love to work with you guys on this… this is incredible why not just make a new game? On like UE5 or something? Lol
Creature idea: the vanta Ray. Similar to the glow Ray or the ghost Ray. Except instead of glowing it is vanta black to avoid predators and only becomes visible in a cuttlefish pattern when eating other fish.
imo it’d be cool (but also a bit tricky since it’d need some custom voice acting) to add a sunken lifepod on one of the void islands.
also, a really cool easter egg would be a scannable bit of damaged metal plating with degasi partially written on it. scanning it would give the player a tiny bit more (albeit noncanon) degasi lore, as well as showing what the ship looked like.
I have an idea for one of the Hydra modules. What if you could build small crystal-powered drones that you could use to explore areas, kind of like the Scanner Room cameras, except with the ability to aggro leviathans so that you could lure them away from areas. I also feel like the cameras should be able to pick up resources, kind of like an underwater version of Below Zero’s Spy Pengling, so maybe the drones could be used to gather rare resources?
Hope you like this idea!
It would be cool to have a little bug that scampers around the islands and acts as both a little food source, and maybe makes little nests that have some resources in them, perhaps resources that don't naturally spawn anywhere else on the islands, like rubies, so players dont have to keep running back and forth to their main bases.
time to prove that one guy who was like "its just concept art, this aci guy is never actually gonna make a mod, uhhhh fuck you idk" wrong
Will there be a launcher? For the mod because every time I use mods on Subnautica it’s hard
i love this but one thing kinda annoys me , could ya ( pls im not forcing you ) to make the boomerangs colors a bit diffrent because they just kinda feel like too dark and too light in some spots
Idea something that garbs you and pulls you under if you tried to swim
To far or in between cracks in the ground
I'm not entirely sure how development stuff works but can you make sure theres a list of spawn commands for the new creatures we can access?
Why not a peaceful leviathan that disguised itself as other leviathans including the ones in and out of the void area
Kinda like the mimic octopus
Quick question. Will the mod be available for the latest update, not only legacy
4:55 Ayo is that a terraria reference o_O
3:53
