Steel Diver: Sub Wars

[modern urchin]

fair

perhaps I'll give the game a go

how would you describe the game?

to someone who doesn't know anything about it

[frigid solstice]

very unique

It has a campaign, but online PvP is the main thing

It was very popular since it was a freemium game - it was in the free games section of the nintendo eshop

It's a submarine fighting game

you're in a submarine, and your objective is to destroy all enemy submarines (enemy players)

you do this by firing torpedoes at other submarines

[modern urchin]

ouhh sounds interesting

[frigid solstice]

different submarines have different stats

and there are three torpedo types: B, A, and A+

[modern urchin]

in what aspect do you think the game peaks?

[frigid solstice]

A+ does the most damage, has the longest range and the worst fire rate, B is the opposite, and A is the middle ground

[frigid solstice]

just playing PvP, especially against people who match your skill level

[modern urchin]

does it have like crazy hard controls to learn?

[frigid solstice]

I was a very high level player, so naturally it was very fun - I have some very memorable games and performances

[frigid solstice]

I can't comment on this since I was one of the best players around for a long time so I was just very comfortable with the controls

[frigid solstice]

my assumption would be yes

Low level players do tend to really struggle with controlling their movement, but I think this is more about a lack of game knowledge than the controls actually being that difficult

[modern urchin]

sounds fair

ill give it a go

[ancient compass]

Try it out. It's a underrated game that needed more attention.

[hallow viper]

@frigid solstice there is a dedicated Sub Wars server still

It’s not really active but games were being arranged on pretendo up until about March

Don’t think I’m allowed post the server invite here but anyone who wants to join feel free to dm me

[ancient compass]

Hey yall. Anyone want to play?

[ancient compass]

Hello

[ancient compass]

Looking for player!

[hallow viper]

[old iris]

<@&1257834014568484915>

[wild reef]

dude this isn’t something for mod ping

[old iris]

Help me out then these devs ignore my message they don’t bother it can you plz forward my message towards them ?

[wild reef]

we already know

[old iris]

This is since past 4 months

[spring thicket]

Known issue and will be fixed when it will be fixed. The devs are mostly working on a voluntary basis which means that no guarantees can be made to when certain issues will be fixed

[frigid solstice]

well maybe it's gonna take them more than 4 months?

[old iris]

This issue is since past 4 months the problem is that they are not aware or they don’t care ?

[frigid solstice]

Please remember this is a FREE project which these great people are working on voluntarily

[old iris]

Ye I heard same words 4 months ago

[frigid solstice]

and?

[old iris]

Nothing happened actually

[spring thicket]

Neither. They care and are aware of it. It has been an issue 4 months, but that doesn’t change anything. It will be fixed when it will be fixed, it’s being worked on. Please be patient

[old iris]

Are you sure that they are aware of this issue ?

[frigid solstice]

As far as I'm aware, you're not paying the devs anything and you haven't contributed anything to the issue, so you have no right to complain

[old iris]

I just Wana remind them af if they forgot

[spring thicket]

Yes, sky sent a screenshot of it being in a to do kind of tracker

[old iris]

Ik man

[thorny sparrow]

There are hundreds of open issues across Pretendo's projects, and even more things that are just not implemented yet

[spring thicket]

Right here #1169326893833662624 message

[thorny sparrow]

I'm sorry that your issue isn't a high priority, but not every issue can be high priority

[old iris]

Game was fine but when Nintendo network was closed pretendo was under maintenance and when it resumed we faced this issue

[spring thicket]

Yeah, it’s unfortunate but as Matthew said, there are many issues that are being worked on across many different games.

[old iris]

Sir Ik you guys are working for us I just Wana remind if they forgot and 4months have passed away

[spring thicket]

No-one forgot, we’ve said that a few times now

Issues take time to be worked on before they can be fixed. Please be patient.

[old iris]

Ok thx !looking for their cooperation! Hope they fix it soon !

See ya !

[spring thicket]

I hope so too! Just to manage expectations, I don’t know the complexity and/or priority of this specific issue. But generally speaking fixing issues similar to these can take anywhere from a few days to potentially years if it has a particularly nasty technical reason, so while I hope it gets resolved in due time, not even the devs can perform miracles

[ancient compass]

I swear, can ppls just wait? I don't mind some of the features missing on this game (and other games). Let the ppls at Pretendo do what they can. @old iris

[spring thicket]

Seems to me like Mary understands now 😉

[ancient compass]

Hoped so 🙏

[spring thicket]

[proud zodiac]

hola

sad this game is underrated, true masterpiece

[ancient compass]

Hola! Glad you are aware of this game.

[proud zodiac]

yep ive been into it since the covid time, with some breaks

the biggest regret is that i should have been aware of it earlier tho ‘cause the first years were most likely the best according to many og’s

[ancient compass]

Same here

[proud zodiac]

with miiverse and stuff

but ig we have socials nowadays soooo, who knows if miiverse was that fun as it is described

[ancient compass]

Yep

[frigid solstice]

mid-late 2010s was the peak of the game

like 2015-2018

[proud zodiac]

yea thats what most ppl told me anyways, many players stopped in 2018 i think ‘cause of miiverse shutting down

[frigid solstice]

It's funny how important MV was to the community

and it's a shame that most of the playerbase didn't pick up on pretendo

I'm able to play, but the lobbies are always completely empty

[proud zodiac]

i could play for some 1v1s with u ‘cause i never did

but then i wouldn’t play if we are not even 4 or 5

pointless

[ancient compass]

Yeah... I usually find like one person playing the game mostly everyday. Wish more ppls would touch up on this game.

[frigid solstice]

around what time do you find them?

[ancient compass]

Can't say. Usually at random time but not at nighttime.

[proud zodiac]

most likely in the evening but nothing is sure about it

could be in the afternoon, morning i doubt

[proud zodiac]

anyone to play?

[ancient compass]

Yep. I'll be available at the morning.

[sterile cairn]

I’m shocked that people are still playing

[ancient compass]

Surprisingly so

[ancient compass]

Hey everyone. Just came back from vacation. HMU if you want to play anytime.

[onyx flame]

Yo
