- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ก.พ. 2024
- The Call of the Void team has been working hard on implementing the Hydra Submarine and making it functional in game! We've implemented a completely new way of controlling it, a new leviathan, the featherray and have worked on several new assets for the Anemone Forest biome!
The void clusters continue to become more alive and dangerous each week, and you can stay updated on the progress of the mod here:

it's completely fine, Aci ! get well soon 😉
The name for Leviathan : Void Orca
The chonker levithan looks like a sandwich with the hard shells on the top and bottom, sandwich Levithan. nah, how about the Bleak Levithan (that's not an insult that's a genuine suggestion)
You could call the "CHONKER": "KLOBIG" maybe (its german)
Can I just ask how do you get mods on ps4 and can you make it possible for this to be available on ps4
Also please tell me how to get mods on PS4. Thanks a lot :)
Also please make sure that the hydra has an ”entrence animation” and it dosent just teleport you since Thats kinda weird looking.
They probably will add one, I imagine its just not a high priority rn but they will add it when the important parts are doen maybe ?
We can't guarantee that, since there's a disconnect between the interior rooms and where the exterior hatches are located
We'll try, but no promises.
@@Aci_yt alright! Thanks for the info
@tikseyy Exited for a mod for thalassophobia simulator.
Edit Subanutica, I mean.
@@Aci_yt It could be a teleport type of entrance if that makes it easier to implement. (I hope)
the fact that it doesn't feel like a mod, but instead an undiscovered part of the original game is amazing. wish I could support you guys but I am broke lol.
same here bro
Real
The leviathan could be named the Lentus Leviathan, which is Latin for
1 clinging, tough
2 slow, sluggish, lazy, procrastinating
3 easy, pliant
Which it seems to fill all out (except for clinging and procrastinating)
Agreed
Yeah that sounds about right
It does look very grabby and "handsy"
I like this.
i strongly agree with this
But then it sounds like lentils, which isn't threating at all :3
I think that the Hydra dock should look like two hallways next to each other with a gap between where the Hydra would be stored. When the Hydra reverses into that gap, the hallways snap onto the hatches and make a watterproof passageway out of the sub.
For the slimeball heres an idea!
You can use them to make temporary repares in your base while its under attack, so you can focus of more important areas with the repare tool instead of wasting time repairing unimportant areas
After a few minutes it will start ti dissolve
This is genius! I hope they go with this.
It could also be a good bio-reactor fuel, for more diverse electrical sources
Name for the Chonker Leviathan: Ridgeback.
Reasoning: This might just be me, but its design reminds me of the Reefback because of the trailing tentacles and the rocky shell on top of it which remind me of a mountain. Maybe the top of it has some really valuable resources, but the leviathan itself is aggressive so there's risk in trying to get it (unlike the reefback that has more common materials in exchange for being much less risky)
I agree with you 100%
Shellback, perhaps?
Or Spikeback?
wait, these are mods??? and they are gonna be released for free??? that's amazing. this might be the greatest subnautica mod project ever made.
I think this is going to be a paid mod. Pretty sure I heard this earlier on in development, but take it with a grain of salt
@404missingname7 | I think we will gain the pre-release if we pay, but they may release it as free after several months.
@@rapeepat82 If that's the case, then that would be fantastic!
(3:52) Those voicelines really looks amazing!
It also makes it feels like an INTELECTUAL AI that autopilots the submarine talking with us!
things to consider or add
1. a new mobile vehicle bay that can fit the hydra and multiple small vehicles (medium moonpool)
2. a small built in drone that can be deployed from the hydra to check the environment to make sure its safe
3. a special suit that is needed to dive deeper
4. base defense options: because you mentioned bases can be destroyed, there should be different that can be used to defend against hostile threats. one of the options should be a shield that forms around the base but consumes a high amount of power. a other option should be a lockdown button that covers all the windows and closes all the bulkheads to prevent flooding
Always looking amazing, love the blue and black environment so pretty! Missed your fun vibe too!
Maybe the slime could be used as a glue to stick things to your base or maybe even creatures. For example there could be tracking devices that you could attach to creatures like leviathans.
That could also play into the Mesmer leviathans abilities. The Mesmer could be able to temporarily mask other leviathans or fake a tracking signal to distract you.
As with The Silence, voice acting the Chonker Leviatian was very fun!
A glowing creature, sort of like minnows, that follow you as you traverse the void and go away when you get near an island would be cool
Wouldn't they go away when there's a threat? Perhaps they could be one of the hints that an anomaly is a threat and not an island.
Bro having them chilling with you, then boom you hear a faint noise and they all dart away into the darkness would be petrifying@@sethicusiii7878
@@sethicusiii7878THAT IS SUCH A GOOD IDEA, I LOVE IT
Well done! I really like the voice for the Hydra. It has a unique personality that makes it stand out, as well as alongside, the other Subnautica subs.
This mod is going to be amazing! It's everything the community ever wanted: more stuff in the void, more leviathans, base attacks
0:44 it looks so beautiful for like the first few seconds and then it’s ok he has a derp face
The single celled biome would fit SOOO well with this mod
I think a cool design idea and one that would fix the interior of the Hydra would be for it to rotate with your turns. So the interior rotates when you turn the sub to the left so when you stand up your aren't at an angle
When you explained the Hydra's movement, I immediately thought of that scene from Big Hero 6 where they fly between buildings by doing sharp turns, so I think it should have a few tiers of speed upgrades for those want to put their piloting skills to the test at extreme speeds!
The slime ball can be used to make oxygen for the base deep in the void, possibly edible to give a small burst of food and oxygen like the bladderfish. Also, think of the goo like an algae, producing air, Its existence in the void could also help explain how the ecosystem down that deep survives with limited oxygen levels in the water. Also the goo could be used as a fuel source and/or a crafting ingredient for some of the machines.
Hope these suggestions help :)
You could use the slimeballs as the bio tree as something you need for some parts of the path or use it as a sort of super glue like substance to put the hydra sub together (As is fabricating obviously) and because the new creature is a architect-like tardigrade you could put it around the buildings in the lost river and inactive and lava lakes.
The Chonker has certain similarities with reefbacks, in how his shell looks. So "Reefshell Leviathan" would be an interresting name, especially if you put some corals on them. You could then even add lore about how Reefbacks are actually the juvenile version of Reefshells, who then eventually migrate to the void for their final metamorphosis after reaching a certain age. Accordingly, the Reefshells would occasionally migrate to the grassy plateus (for laying eggs or whatever), which you could design their behavior around. Just an idea.
If you wanna go this route, hiding a couple huge Reefback/shell eggs in the grassy plateus, and hiding a molt of a Reefback that turned into a Reefshell somewhere on the edge of the void towards where the Reefshells are supposed to show up in the game would be just increadible. Imagine finding the empty husk of an Reefback and asking yourself what the heck came out of it.
I would say that the "reefshell leviathan" could be a somewhat distant relative of the reefback. that could be another idea for a story implementation
@@borgurman I just edited my comment to include a similar idea, of them being the juvenile form. What are your thoughts on that?
@@Yamyatosi prefer the distant cousin idea more,mainly because "reefshells" seem Like a bit too different to reefbacks to be the adult version
@@dariodramac Looks to different, when the idea is literal metamorphosis similar to catarpillars and butterflies?^^
@@Yamyatosalong with the change in diet
Damnit Aci! You getting me excited with all of the new stuff!
YEEEEEES KEEP IT UP ACI! This really is gonna be the best subnautica mod ever if you can get all of this done, already love the Silence.
I absolutely love that new driving system on the Hydra!
i think i've got some uses for the slimeballs:
1- crafting of advanced gear for the void islands
2- a weapon/tool of some sort that can glue things together, let's say you shoot it at a peeper, then at the ground, it could act a bit like a elastic rope to make traps and other things
I don't have the ability to become a Patron member, but an idea I think everyone would enjoy would be, to add an upgrade or built in feature that allows the Hydra to rotate in a way that the main compartment would be prevented from rotating, like the Mandalorian Starship from Star Wars The Clone Wars, the pilot compartment would act like a single axis gyro, in other words never it would never rotating on the Z-axis (or would it be X-axis, I am a modeller trust me, it just won't rotate in the X-axis direction), will the other sections rotate around it, this would allow the sub to access more horizontal areas and prevent the interior from being buggy. Maybe the other sections get locked if rotated but if you use the controls you mentioned to set it back to the vertical state they would unlock again. This would also need the ability for the rotation to be locked for long angled stretches of tunnel so it wouldn't just try to reset will steering. Again this is an idea that could be useful to prevent buggy interior movement as I have a feeling it will be buggy if the player unseats will the ship is at an angle. I'd become a Patron if I could and share this idea but sadly the best I can do is Subscribe and like the video and cheer you on from the comments. I hope you can reference my idea even if it's an idea that could be used to prevent bugs in the Hydra between player and ship collision issues with gravity. I'm a modeller not an English (mainly punctuation) pro, so forgive my writing skills.
Amazing work as always! I think a Hydra dock might look cool as a sort of fork that clamps around the Hydra upon entry. The front viewport glass could be removed by a machine in the dock so you can enter and exit the sub through the front
Y'all revolutionising modding for Subnautica I feel like
Leviathan name idea for the "chonker", The Komodo Leviathan. This leviathan looks like it could be a relative to the Frozen leviathan we see in below zero with the purple and black color schemes, however this leviathan has adapted to mainly underwater exploration due to the creature having no forearms or hind legs like the Frozen leviathan, The Komodo Leviathan, can use its suction cup like tentacles to grab its prey much like the Spikey Trap flora from Below Zero, and can also use them to cling on to ledges to sneak attack its prey or smaller predators, The Komodo Leviathan can also use the stone like plate on its back and head as camouflage in the rockier islands in the void to hide itself if something bigger is lurking such as the Silence, The Komodo Leviathans large tail can be used for fast swimming capabilities making this creature somewhat complicated to escape from, and finally, the glowing eyes and spots on the creature can be mistaken as flora glowing, so you could be swimming along, and you realize what it really is you're looking at, its too late.
I love your dedication for the mod, thanks a lot Aci! (And other members of the staff :D)
I'm really curious if there might be and PDA Voice Logs on the void islands, imagine if one of the Aurora lifepods sunk all the way down there and tried to survive, maybe even one of the Degasi crew?
We going into the void with this one 🗣🗣🔥🔥
this is awsome i love the hydra sub it would be cool if some costom terain could have thin caves that twist and turn that would force the player to use the slim design and agile movment of the hydra hope to see more updates!
That's the plan!
I'm definitely looking forward to getting some custom level design done to take advantage of the hydra's mobility!
Let's goo man im very excited for this mod you guys doing great job
I think the Tether steering idea is SICK. I'm a huge fan of No Man's Sky and they use that too so I'm pretty excited for this!
Awesome work guys !!! can't wait to see the final result 😊😊
Now im even more hyped for the next shard. Im sure it will be amazing ! Keep up the good work, this mod is incredible so far.
I would love if the Pluoeragrade's (or whatever the spelling is) slime could be used to build a 'Suction Plate' that you can attatch to large creatures and then hang off of, being able to be ccarried by void rays between islands in a cluster or to follow a specific creature and see how it interacts with other wildlife.
You could also make a prawn suit arm that works as an enhanced grappling hook designed more for swinging than for holding yourself in place, which would be useful to navigate some of the void islands within it's depth range.
Yes more agile prawn
Things are moving fast! Keep up the good work!!
my god every single video about this is such a joy to watch and follow along, and that tardigrade creature is adorable
Okay, if you don't "officially" call that Leviathan the Chonker, can you at least have that be a nickname someone gives it in like a little discoverable log? Because that's an amazing name.
2:11 "he's really cute" **demonic hands trying to grab anything to consume** I agree tho he is very cute
I think the drooper leviathan would be a good name for the new leviathan, as it has the droopy fins along the body
Aci, I've waited 9 months in total for that 50% discount on the Hydra
Cool concept for Call of the void: after going for some time you can visit corrupted biomes like corrupted safe shallows they would be purple with mutated mobs and another concept is that you can make mk4 for every vechicle that would be very exlucuve to the player crafted from verious underwater plants or whatewer and with those mk4s you can visit underwater cities
3:57 i don’t know why but reminds me of the
"Caution, a virus has been detected" from old avast versions.
I think the leviathan could be called either the Scaleback in reference to its large scales or the Drooper in reference to those drooping tentacles.
Im kinda more interested in seeing how things went wrong while making the mod it sounds beautiful
“Stuff tends to not go the way we want” summarizes pretty much all things computer
awesome to see the development as always!
This is genuinely so cool and I'm so excited!
Amazing work so far!
cool use for the slime mentioned abt 2 mins in;
maybe it could be hardened in a kiln like machine, for a strong but agile vehicle considering it would be lightweight, also the kiln could be used to make some other recipes using vanilla materials or some other modded materials; IE melting metal for high damage attacks or specified tools (maybe weapons) and vehicles
in the kiln;
The breakneck leviathan immediately popped in my head when I saw the chonker-
This mod looks amazing!! Cant wait for it to be out!
YEEEEEESSSS
I am so HYPE for this entire mod. X)
Amazing! Cant wait to jump back in Subnautica and play this mod!
that's so cool! can't wait for the final mod
Really excited to see this project truck-along. Game dev is hard, so I wish you the best of luck.
And no worries about not updating monthly.. but Maybe try to stick to SOME kind of schedule.. if monthly is too frequent, maybe bi-monthly, or quarterly, just some schedule where some news can be expected, rather than "whenever we have stuff".
i am probably not the only one thinking this was, but pls. never stop this project, subnautica is one of my all time favorite game, id LOOOVEE to play it again with this houmongous "addon"
The new Leviathan is clearly "Big Chungus" you can´t change my mind!
The “thrasher” leviathan that way when you see it you can yell “THRASHER!!!!”
Duuuuude, this whole adventure in the void, but combined with the gargantuan leviathan mod. I’m just imagining all of what this mod would require you to do, but with the twist of now having to dodge a gargantuan leviathan in addition to all the other things this’ll add
Still looking as fire as ever keep it up!
CHONKET LEVIATHAN LOOKS LIKE A BIG MUTANT HOVERFISH!!! hovering Leviathan stalks u from above...
ALPHA HOVERFISH LORE JUST DROPPED
Omg, the tartagrade creature is adorable, and their human hand mouth is terrifying. i love them
Am very happy to see the subnautica comunity is stil as lively as it was
Tremendous work... You're on a roll! Don't worry, we're here to cheer and applause! What you've beel showing is sooooo promising it's hard to just wait for it but we'll do it anyway for this is going to be NUTS! =D
Call to the Void is literally pushing me to get a PC as I can not believe that I would be missing out on probably the coolest and most amazing mod of all time
I have a few things to say about this:
1: that sea bear little fella should be like the cuttlefish where you hatch it and it becomes your pet
2: the "chonker" leviathan vaguely reminds me of a Lilly paddler from below zero, and the hoverfish, so maybe its name could be in reference to that, like the Void paddler or hoverpaddle leviathan
Love The Idea of controlling the Hydra like a sideways fighter jet.
Also for the Chonker Leviathan, Maybe something along the lines of Angler-Leviathan or Lophius-Leviathan (part of the scientific name for angler fish) could fit. The whisker like things remind me of an angler fish or maybe a catfish
Idea for base destruction : A upgrade module named something along the lines of a "Schematic module" that can be installed into the base (preferably in a room like the control room). When base pieces get destroyed, the furniture should unanchor and float or sink but can be picked up, like a mobile vehicle bay. This is where the schematic module is useful. The schematic module automatically saves the positions of furniture in a room, and when that base peice is repaired, holograms of the furniture appear in the room. Then, you can select a piece of furniture like a locker, and it'll snap onto the locker holograms. This module could also be used to make 1:1 copies of room layouts, copying bases, etc. These are just a few ideas for the "schematic module" feel free to expand upon the idea if its considered!
Shellback leviathan maybe? I cant wait for this mod to be complete :)
Hey, i just wanted to say that love your work, and I really love everything subnautica related. The subnautica concept art in your videos are really cool. Would appreciate it if you could make more designs. They're amazing!!! I was wondering about a concept art for a land leviathan, it might be cool.
2:22 make the slime an alternative to creepvine seed clusters for lubricant so the player can do stuff in the void without having to go all the way back
The hydra dock could look like the Dyson bladeless fan (the tall oval one).
When entering you would have to orient it correctly though so idk.
When exiting you can either reverse out or get propelled forward.
Being able to enter it at any angle would be cooler but probably a lot harder.
Just an idea
(also pls add some sort of current mechanic in caves that would be sick)
I think an addition that would fit well would be some bioluminescent jellyfish like creatures in colonies in some parts of the empty void
I hope you add a rare entrance voiceline for the Hydra like the cyclops does.
I’m super excited!
I am so hyped for this Mod (i would say dlc) but great work there :D
There is one thing I'd love to see in the Hydra: automatic balancing. Basically what Cyclops and Normal mode do, but automatic after leaving the control seat(unless you turned it off in settings). Main reason why I'm asking for it is because I don't want to have problems that emerge in the Seatruck, where it stays at a weird angle while you're walking inside.
can you guys PLEASE bring the atlas to life in this mod
For the hydra I would recommend some sort of navigation ball so that you can keep your orientation known easier.
truly love the Subnautica game's, i would love to see a 'LARGE' submarine added to the game's about twice the size of the Cyclops with more room's, a walkable top-deck with hatch, and a bridge with 3 consoles with chair's!
The Leviathan could be named the "Feeler Leviathan". Those appendages hanging from the bottom feel like they could be a way for the Leviathan to navigate and detect prey/predators. The eyes of the Leviathan look like they wouldn't work well, and as such, the "feelers" would be the creatures best way to sense its environment.
maybe the slimeballs could be used to cover your base so certain creatures wont attack it
The patrons are doing surprisingly well with their creature concepts! That could have gone horribly wrong but seems to have led to a lot of interesting animals so far,
The leviathan could be named the Cragback Leviathan as a reference to Reefbacks. The ridges on its back remind me of the crag field biome.
3:00 you could go down the route of quality street chocolates and call it "the purple one"
This is amazing
Hi Aci! I Love to see these Devlog´s! As for the Name of the Leviathan i would name it Malignitas. It is latin and means "Spite". Maybe it has some Attacks or Defences that are very mean for the protagonist or the Hydra. Maybe he could shock the Hydra as a Defense and break the UI for a few seconds as a Attack. (i´m not creative enough to think of good attacks or defences :p) But i´m excited too see what´s next. -Mirco
I LOVE THE PROGRESS
Im so excited for this 😄💕
Your new leviathan looks like it has a shell where the top and bottom fit together like a mollusk and that made me wonder, will it be able to pull its body into the shell and hide amongst the rocks of the floating islands? I don't really have a name suggestion for it but maybe you could use something along the lines of Rockshell leviathan.
This voice license are sick man would get ghouse bumps if it tells you that a leviathan is near
Call the chonker leviathan the lizard leviathan as a reference to satisfactory’s lizard dogs, which shares a resemblance with the leviathan
The slime ball could maybe be used for protecting bases from leviathan attacks by making the base stronger. Perhaps you could add it to base pieces to increase their strength.
the leviathan needs to be called the chonker, dont change it lol
