I really enjoyed playing the old open sea submarine sims like Freelancer, AquaNox, and Archimedean Dynasty. I'm sure lots of fans like myself would like to see Xenosea rise to it's true potential. I Hope it's still in developement Commodore Shawn.
Yo this is quite interesting, keep it up!
I'm so happy that there will be new game with submarines and its sim! I hope there will be possibility to build bases/outpost and mod support.
I'm not sure on mod support. I've never really tried it with godot, but the game itself is open source so an interested person could make a modified version.
Player bases are on my "want" list, time will tell how practical implementing them will be.
Nice concept, have only ever found relatively old games that give you this plus it could have a lot more freedom. (one exception, dont remember name)
