Hi, I was thinking that this game could be used as a screen saver, if the devs will think this is possible.
This is a collection of ideas to make it so without revolutioning the game engine:
- Every map could contain some FIXED CAMERA VIEWS here and there.
- A command-line parameter, like "/screensaver", will start the game launching randomly a camera view from a random map, after X seconds the next random camera/map will be choosen.
- Commands/Predators/HUD are disabled, except for ESC key to shut down the game, all maps "could" be considered unlocked in this mode)
- Screensaver parameters customization maybe coud be put in a INI file, just to not overwork the interface.
Just as a comparison, this is an OLD screensaver with an interactive mode where you have to find coins (so very similar to this game, and actually it's the reason why I bought Deep Diving Simulator).

The screensaver part works as I explained, fixed cameras that will change after some time.
The thing that will make Deep Diving Simulator a better screensaver is that in this case, fishes behaviours are more random, while on OceanDive are strictly scripted, making you see over and over the exactly same pattern.
