Would love a series on this please Olexa :) very chill. By the way when you "harvest" big fish there are multiple instances.

This game is so much more then this first hour - tons of additional content like staff management and farming. I would love to see the whole series.

Homie you weren’t paying attention. You can harvest green parrot fish multiple times.

ive been playing this game for 100+ hours recently and its a hidden gem honestly.

dave has got to be the greatest guy ever, truly a magnificent human being. only way to repay him would be to bring his business to the top, don't let the man down olexa and grant him the series treatment!

Definitely looking forward to a series for this. Dave The Diver was an unexpected and pleasant surprise.

I feel like Olexa and Dave have similar vibes which makes this a great series

Some facts for ya: If you're too close to a wall, harpooning the fish will just bounce off the wall. Time doesn't advance until you return to the boat, so you don't have to worry about "wasting time". The Restaurant does tick down after you open though. Dave's HP is his o2. So if you're running low, pop an o2 tank or an item. All fish have some form of HP, so smacking em with the harpoon will eventually 'poon em. Eel is a night hunting fish, so ignore the lil guy for now. You "Enhance" the taste with the same fish you loot. The game shows how many you need (usually starts with 3). Stabbing a fish gives you a 1 Star, harpooning is a 2 Star (If you pull in the fish into your bag), and Sleeping is 3 Star. This is important cause you get more ingredients from the catch the higher the rating of the catch . Once you make a weapon, you don't need to make it again. Just check your yellow box on the boat to see what items you got.

Those cutscenes were amazing, nice to see games with some good humour, pretty rare nowadays.

I’m very much in love with this game! I adore exploration and treasure hunting games so this is right up my alley

Looking forward for more episodes of this series, games looks amazing

You could have harvested the parrotfish twice. Also your health IS your oxygen. Glad you like the game, I will say as you get more and more and more stuff it starts to get burdensome to play, but you can always ignore all that stuff and just dive.

You shouldn't skip the animations until a few episodes in. There's quite a few different ones. They're all good

I've been so addicted to this game recently. It's somehow good enough to pull me from Tears of the Kingdom, and that's impressive. I have about 21 hours so far, and could easily see going well over a hundred. It gets deep with the customization as you get further in. I'm excited to see you playing it now too!

I just had it suggested to me today while browsing on Steam and then also realised that I hadn't checked out Olexa's content in a while... The coincidence of seeing it on his channel, yeeeesss

It's definitely not perfect, but the love that the developers had for making this game permeates through every single moment playing

Love your content, Olexa! I was on the fence about this game until I saw this video. Now I just bought the game to play along with you lol you're awesome, don't stop what you're doing! 😄

My man Dave really out here diving

Hello Olexa, I don't know if you are going to read this. But just a correction, this game is not a Indie game and should not be treated as one. This is made by MINTROCKET which is a Subsidiary of NEXON which has a networth of around 19 billion dolars. MINTROCKET is the same "company" which allegedly made the Project P3 and is suing the Ironmace Study for allegedly stealing the codes of P3 to make Dark and Darker. Nexon is doing everything to not have it's name on the product because it can affect the sales given how much people hate the company due to it's business practices, but it's a NEXON product for all it's technicality. So yeah, while Dave the Diver is an incredible game and one of the best releases in the year so far, it's by no mean a Indie game and other indie games should not be compared to it because this game had a lot of fund put into development, so it's by definition a AA game.

Jellyfish doesn't really taste like much, but it does have a very satisfying texture, and you coat it in chilli oil and sesame seeds anyway so it's pretty good. Worth trying if you haven't before.

I'm loving this game. A blast to sit back with a controller and play.

Congrats on 100k olexa!!! it's been a journey for sure

im glad to see you cover a more "classicaly" liniar game, your commentary lends itself quite well to it.

This is one of my favorite roguelikes ever, glad to see the GOAT got his hands on it as well

The colourful npcs and your sass are the perfect combo

Ah yes that classic "Indie" developer who is also the oldest and largest game studio in Korea who made $763 MILLION in 2022.

Hi! Fishes you put into the menu would disappear even if no one eats it. The auto supply supply the fishes from stock, if you got no stock then it does nothing. Upgrading menus cost ingredients (eg: the fish itself), so if you upgrade willy nilly you could end up having no fishes to serve. The game didn't explain this proper so I think this will benefit you ^^. Game is amazing, kept on giving even after hours.

This game is pretty cool from what I’ve seen. Seems like a great fit for the channel!

I couldn't wait for you to start playing this, I've seen another youtuber playing this a few months ago and though this would be perfect for your style of games. Thanks❤

Wow, I had just started watching a video about bosses in diver Dave and Olexa just releases a video on this game, awesome. But what is even better is an Evil Factory reference at 41:33, I love this game already

I played this game a long time ago before it was fully released and finished, one of my favorite single player games, I played it to the end and enjoyed every second :)

Please play more of this

was surprised that you hadn’t picked this game up due to its popularity but it’s easily been the best indie this year so far!

The duff crafting cinematic was amazing

28:26 blue starfish

this is definitely my jam. looking forward to more videos :)

I hope this series sticks it could be really fun!

10/10 for the poop knife reference

The faces in this game are actually the most glorious things

Such an awesome wacky game

Its freaking fantastic. Its this or Dredge for me.

This was fishtastic!

Congratulations on reaching 100000 subscribers mate

Looks like a very fun series to play and to watch. Would enjoy more of this.

You can harvest again from the parrotfish until it is depleted!

I want to open a restaurant that gets all its supplies from crockpots in the bottom of the ocean.

Haven't played it, but it looks super fun! Also congrats on 100k!

Bit of a spoiler for content you get later You get to make your own little garden

What a great game about exploring the sea, surely it won’t have great comedic timing with a tragic event involving ocean exploration.

I brought another game on the steam summer sale refunded it and brought this instead... loving it so far....

I love this game.

OK I saw you play this and had to check it out and it's way harder to do than it looks I'm loving the game

I see the egg-head seep through every paragraph. He must be a fan of the royal highness NL? (New subscriber here)

Let's make this game a series!

This game looks absolutely delightful

Super cool to see this game on your channel.

God Damn I love Dave

Gosh bless Dave the diver

Yes! Time for another banger.

Congrats on hitting 100K subs.

Your funny as hell man love the content ❤

This would be perfect on switch. Holding out until then

There is flavored olive oil in pizza restaurants for example chili or garlic olive oil❤

bro i just got this recomended to me on my steam que what the heck. i think i need it NOW

D: i just bought this the other day! Was hoping you'd play it.

The game is so cute and I would love to see more! Though, I agree with some other commenters that this isn't really an Indie game, since MINTROCKET is a sub-branch of Nexon :)

I nominated this game’s beta for best indie game of 2022.

I put about 10-11 hours in before finding out how to upgrade my gear haha. Was stuck diving to 80m thinking it wa a bit of a grind hahah

I love this game, but it's not actually indie. It's developed by a division of Nexon, the makers of Maplestory oddly enough.

Was it possible to harvest that parrot fish multiple times? Missed opportunity! :)

Oh yeah i gave you and this game a chance and you did not disappoint, thank you for introducing us to it

Very nice graphics, I'm a sucker for 8-bit or voxel graphics in games

I assume you know already, but there is indeed a farming sim part of the game

So glad I can see this game being played as a full series

Except it's not an indie game, Nexon is literally one of the largest game companies in Korea

Game seems pretty cool

W game fishing minigames make a good game so a fishing game is even better.

I feel like it’s not fair to call this game an indie game, Mint Rocket is a Nexon subsidiary and they have the infinite Maple Story money behind this game, if anything it’s misbudgetted

2:00 a blue hole is an oceanographic ecological phenomenon describing a natural cavern in the bedrock of the ocean floor. It is not, in fact, some type of sex euphemism.

Good game for sure. I await the patch that removes the button mash from the harpoon to continue playing. Stopped playing about 6ish months back I think cause I can't just sit back and enjoy the calmish vibe this game had. Luckily the Devs know about the need to change the mash and plan to add options for it. So that's good at least.

100k subscribers, nice job

I’m still on the boat that Pizza Tower takes the cake for best indie game of 2023, but this definitely takes second place since it looks REALLY good.

"hey Lois"

If anyone wants to know what genre this game is… *YES.*

What is used for growing bacteria in a pewter plate

this is fun ^^

It's alright, not my thing. I'll stick to void.

Pizza tower is still my indie of 2023 but this is very good

you can cut the big fish multiple times

This game is kinda like moonlighter you should try it out

The parrotfish could have been harvested multiple times it wasn't worth 5 meat

agar agar is an extract from agar

this game is so similar to moonlighter

Series pls

Bro is that Gabriel iglasias???

Somebody know how it runs on macbook pro 2022 m1?

CALM DOWN NorthernLion

I enjoyed the game so far but there's way too many mandatory 2GB updates on Steam right now; feels like every time I want to play I have to wait 20 minutes. And those are not content updates; you have to download the entire game just to fix a hand full of bugs - at least four times a week. This is some you could forgive in early access - but with a full release it's not unreasonable to expect smaller patches and that they come at least weekly; not dirty reinstalls being shoved down your throat every day. Feels like they're in full panic mode, despite the fact that I haven't experienced any troubles with the game as far as I'm aware - I'm just going to wait until they get their shit together.

i think it would be funny if you tried programming in scratch lol

the game looks great but im not gona get it because of what the company, nexon, did to the dark and darker team, iron mace.
