I’d forgotten I did this interview at Gamescom. I really wish they had too 😂 #SubSpecies #Gamescom #IndieGame #GameDev #GoodGameClub

Working on the Current Blocker in Sub-Species. Some underwater currents are too powerful to pass — deploy a blocker and clear the way forward. 🌊 #gamedev #indiedev #SubSpecies

Loving the view from the rooftop bar of my hotel. We have arrived at Gamescom. #Gamescom #SubSpecies

New T-shirts all ready for Gamescom. Just worried that maybe the QR code is too small. 🤔

Some exciting news! We’ve been selected as one of just 20 developers worldwide for the @Xsolla Developer Scholarship at gamescom 2026! Massive thanks to @Xsolla for the opportunity. See you in Cologne! #gamescom2026 #IndieDev #SubSpecies

🌍 One of the best parts of making Sub-Species has been seeing people from around the world volunteer to help translate the game. Today we're excited to see Vietnamese running in-game for the first time. Huge thanks to A Cup of Localization and every volunteer helping us make Sub-Species accessible to more players. We couldn't do it without you. ❤️ #gamedev #indiedev #localization

We'd love to bring Sub-Species to more languages. We're a two-person indie team, and we're looking for native speakers who'd like to help translate the game. If you'd like your name in the credits and a Steam key at launch, we'd love to hear from you. More info 👇 store.steampowered.com/app/3… #indiedev #gamedev #localization #indiegame

I swear we're professionals. 😂🎙️ A little behind the scenes from our Sub-Species voice-over session with the brilliant Katie Creaven and @RichToTheArdYo . They brought Mission Control and the Pilot to life—and somehow managed to put up with us along the way. Can't wait for you to hear them in-game. #gamedev #indiedev #voiceacting

Just updated the Sub-Species demo with a completely revised control setup. The old movement system technically worked, but players were fighting the controls. Now movement + propulsion are combined into the left stick and the sub feels massively more responsive. Demo is live on Steam now. store.steampowered.com/app/4…
