Not developing depth 2 would be a mistake. Underwater environments are hugely underrepresented in video games and offer a unique and fun environment to play in. This is possibly one of the best asymmetrical pvp games ever created. I personally would say it is equivalent to and perhaps even better than l4d 1 pvp. If you make depth 2 you will have cornered the market. The only reason I am convinced that no one stayed with King Tide was merely because you didn’t have the option to control a shark when you were eliminated as a diver. Not to mention depth had the best shark animations I have ever seen. I cried when I saw how terrible the shark movement in maneater was.

A game shouldn’t need constant new content to be good. The game will continue to exist as long as people play it.

The game servers are not being shut down, just the addition of new content - though we are looking into community content right now.

I know you are currently working on another project in your mind but i think this unique game deserves converting into Unreal Engine 5 with new features and huge improvements,i can wait to see even more realistic graphics and gameplay because i believe it will worth waiting eventually,there is one more suggestion,i think it is the time to implement a patch fixes an error prevents the game from launching/opening,or opening without the launching image(the square in the middle of the screen shows the icon of base game and events)and make it show random icon everytime we launch the game,thanks for letting us experience awesome memories with this game,keep up the good work.

i bought a PC just to play this game, because its so good/different from other games. i think had this went to console/had more marketing behind it, it could've rivaled DBD in the asymmetrical gaming market [ depth is a way better game imo]

He is right,i think this game should be uppgraded and upgraded or have a successor then put into gaming catalogues/libraries such as cloud gaming servers.

hello! When will the event be? Thank you for your reply

I know you've already said the game won't be going Free To Play due to server costs, but what happens when the servers eventually do go down? When the main brunt of costs are gone, will the game be able to be released free to play? Would give an opportunity for people that never tried the game to get into it, while not forcing the game to die earlier because it can't fund itself.

Honestly, that's so many years away I don't think we need to plan for it. The servers aren't going down anytime soon.

Going Free To Play just isn't an option. How do fund all the work required to go Free To Play? And how do you fund the servers needed for host Free To Play players? You can always play Depth against bots, and the server binaries for Depth are public (released many years ago), so you can host game servers if you want.

Depth is gonna be playable for a loooonnnng time

Depth 2, how about that? How much funding would it take to make this game? Can Patreon help?
