Combat in Sub-Species.

What Lurks in the Depths?

What happened to this part of the ocean?

This indie game is a handcrafted underwater Asteroids meets Ecco the Dolphin How two friends have spent 12 years making Sub-Species.

Creative Bloq recently shared the story behind Sub-Species — a 12-year development journey, multiple false starts, and the engine switch that finally made the project viable.

It’s strange but rewarding seeing the whole path laid out like this.

One of the bosses you’ll face in Sub-Species.

One of the shooter enemies in Sub-Species.

Showing the progression from wireframe to final in-game model.

Combat in Sub-Species is built around pressure and positioning, not speed.

Being surrounded is part of the design.

One of the creatures you’ll run into in Sub-Species.

Always liked how these ended up feeling like part of the space rather than a separate “enemy”.

Thanks for the shout out, hope you enjoyed the demo.

Hey folks, new Irish game in the works Sub-Species has a demo out now.

It’s been interesting watching how people move through the Sub-Species demo.

Things slow down a lot once the noise drops.

Nice to see the Sub-Species demo being read as a cohesive experience.

“Sub-Species presents itself as a project with a clear vision and a well-defined visual and sonic identity…”

The Sub-Species demo will be available tomorrow at 3pm.

It’s been a long road getting here.

Some places in Sub-Species are meant to be taken in slowly.

From wireframe to final animation.

We spent a lot of time iterating on how creatures move through space, not just how they’re rendered.

Some of the later threats in Sub-Species are fully mechanical rather than organic.

We spent a lot of time making sure their silhouettes and movement read clearly in combat-heavy spaces.

Completely agree with you

A surprising amount of Sub-Species came together once we stopped trying to make every moment loud.

By the later areas of Sub-Species, the ocean feels less like a place — and more like something that’s been taken over.
