Official release of the game out of early access
Hello there!
We know we said our previous post would probably be the last one about Depth Diver for a long time, especially considering that the game didn't perform as well as we had hoped.
However, since the announcement of our next game, Atomic Delivery , we thought it would be better to be completely honest with you about the future of Depth Diver.
As you know, Depth Diver has been in Early Access since its release . We expected to attract a much larger player base, but things simply didn't turn out that way.
And one of the most important things when developing a game on Steam, especially as an indie developer, is being able to grow alongside a community.
That's why we've decided that the best thing to do for now is to fully release Depth Diver, learn from our mistakes, and use that experience to make Atomic Delivery better.
But we're not leaving the game without one last update!
We've released a final update focused mainly on optimisation and bug fixes , especially for the later areas of the game. It's still not perfect, particularly because Depth Diver was developed using a fairly old version of the engine, but performance should now be noticeably better, especially on lower-end configurations.
So, what happens next?
Depth Diver unfortunately hasn't been a successful game financially. Unless the game eventually starts selling enough copies to make further development sustainable, we probably won't return to it.
Depth Diver had many flaws. The animations weren't good enough, optimisation was a major problem, and we didn't put nearly enough effort into marketing the game.
But we learned a lot from developing it.
We're now fully focused on Atomic Delivery , where we've already started a proper communication and marketing campaign. Our goal is to take everything we learned while making Depth Diver and use that experience to create a much better game.
