Dave the Diver is, without a doubt, one of the best games that have hit the market in recent times and that began its successful career on PC, as one of those indies Absolutely adorable but, most importantly, funny. Then it came to consoles, with DLC and more content and the rest is history because if you haven’t tried it yet, believe us, you are missing out on one of the most special experiences you can find right now.
The normal thing when a game hits so hard and sells millions of units is that the publisherAbove all, invite the studio (Mintrocket in this case) to create a second part at full speed to take advantage of the momentum, or failing that, to develop a few DLC to continue earning income. But from what we have been able to hear from one of those responsible, the strategies to expand the universe of Dave the Diver It goes in other really different directions.
Won’t Dave the Diver have a sequel?
He has been one of the creators of the game in MintrocketJaeho Hwang, who has spoken to VGC magazine and expressed how he sees the future of the franchise in the short term. And as we have told you, it does not seem to take into account the possibility of a direct continuation taking place soon. A second part as such. So what do you have in mind? Well, very simple.
According to Hwang, “in addition to the DLC we’re working on, I want to make separate games about each character to show how they met, what they did before arriving at the Blue Hole”, to be clear exactly how each and every one of them evolve until they coincide in Dave the Diver and, incidentally, explain where their motivations, abilities, etc. come from.
What’s more, don’t think that it envisions all similar deliveries and with the same type of development. Not at all: «game genres can be different. Maybe one day, if we start making a game with the background of Dave, “we could make him have another profession first,” until later we understand what was the moment in his life’s journey by which he ended up becoming a simple diver
Life stories full of unexpected twists
But what could it be Dave before becoming a diver? Hwang gives a fairly graphic example of those plot developments that could be handled: “I think it would be very funny [hacer este trabajo de conocer el pasado de los protagonistas]. Cobraone of our main characters [en Dave the Diver]it’s from my previous project, Evil Factory. He was an arms dealer who had his license revoked and after that he retired and enjoyed his life. Then something happened and he decided to come to the Blue Hole. “So I really want to tell these kinds of stories in other games.”
For all of the above, we ask you again to try this wonder because Dave the Diver It is one of the best things you can find on PC and consoles. And don’t think that it is short or silly (because of its appearance) because it is the typical game that hooks you, it is fun, sly, adult and for which we always have five more minutes… come last.
