The Deco-Stop 006/pt2 – The Deep-Sea in Video Games: SubROV
In our sixth installment of the Deco-Stop series we go deep into the gaming verse with video games that focus on, and were inspired by the deep-sea. This second episode in our two part pop culture series features interviews with the creators behind SubROV and SOMA. Both of these games are perennial favorites on our Discord chat server, and are often the focus of much discussion and even playthroughs. This is the episode we’ve all been waiting for!
Check out our lovely new website where you can find more detailed notes, images and links to the wider reading.
In part 2 we chat with José Luis González Castro of SubROV, a fascinating remote operated vehicle game that really captures the essence of flying an ROV. We hope you enjoy Jose’s inspiring attention to detail, and passionate recreations of deep-sea environments, with an emphasis on soundscapes.
