  • love that despite subnautica becoming less popular, you still never fail to make amazing videos like this. love your content man. Coming back to this a few months later, jeez I didn’t mean it was dead it just wasn’t getting the traction it used to back in the early days, it’s by no means dead at all! But The Last Bacon still makes the best subnautica content as of now.

    You can really see a bunch of aspects that they kept in the finished product. The oxygen tanks you collect are like the plant that releases bubbles, the manatee/narwhal creatures kinda resemble either stalkers or gasopods. And some biomes resemble the final ones. It's really amazing and surreal that the subnautica we know and love today started from this.

    Its really damn interesting to see what Subnautica all went through untill the game we have by now. Really cool to see!
  • @kiwifruit3113
    I got a feeling (when I saw the first three prototypes) that decent might have been more focused on the horror aspect of the game than Subnautica is now. Honestly, I think the devs could realistically make a new game like Subnautica but keep the old name of decent and the play style of decent to make a more horror style ocean game if they wanted to.
  • man i remember watching subnautica back when the kharaa wasn't even added, the lava zone was a set of coordinates you had to warp to, your voice was much younger, and the survival bars were bars, and not circles. Now this is even earlier
  • Goes to show how much work and thought goes into a big game like subnautica pretty crazy
  • @beanface7408
    I actually kind of like the idea of living mostly in a base/submarine that you use to get around in, and only leave it in short bursts to gather materials. It's an interesting concept.
  • @Steve444
    Huge respect for putting so much work and time in your videos! Really appreciate that, don't see that often anymore nowadays ^^
  • Bacon is such a hardworking youtuber with a large comunity and still he reads and responds to all his comments. We owe Bacon a huge Thank You
  • @tame-hunter
    Imagining all these locations with modern refined subnautica graphics and textures is terrifying
  • @MrBird-km5ee
    it would be very interesting to see a part 2 or even 3 on this one,it's really interesting exploring these old files
  • @func_e
    DOOD. DOOD. DOOOOOOOOOOD!! I AM FREAKING OUT RIGHT NOW. THIS SORT OF STUFF IS MY JAM. In my opinion, things like this deserve to be archived and made publically avalible, so this video means a lot to me :D (tell Foxy Foxa Girl she's doin' great things over there)
  • @danwhite3224
    I'm a massive fan of software (and hardware) prototypes and I'm always so happy to see people going out of their way to get hold of and test these prototypes because they're still an important part of history. I'm super glad that places such as the Internet Archive exist and I hope you can upload these prototypes there for long-term archival purposes, and for others to try!
  • @Usman-haider
    Honestly I love how many old 2000's and early 2010's vibes are in these prototypes if proto 2 complete I would be it for sure
  • @guapman0161
    It’s actually insane how far the game has come. I never knew this was how it started. It genuinely looked like a Roblox game the movement, textures and everything
  • @hooded404
    What first seemed like a mobile game in its first prototype became a masterpiece in the 8th prototype and all version's above
  • A Subnautica game where you are forced to live in a big submarine the whole time would be so cool and terrifying if creatures came after your ship if you stayed in one place for too long
  • @Dzztzt
    You're doing some fine work digging for these gems. That was a real treat to watch, so amazed at how it transitioned from what it began as
  • This is great!! I actually got into Subnautica because of your channel, as I never did get interested in it before. Thank you, as I adore the ocean and officially adore this game! It’s so cool, and I can’t put all my happiness, gratefulness and excitement into words. I give your channel, videos, content and the amount of work you do to make these videos, a humongous 10/10! Also, major shout out to Foxxy Foxa Girl too!!
