I may have been playing a lot of Subnautica, but you know what I really want to see? An open-world survival game with you sailing along on a catamaran between tropical islands. I don't want underwater caves, I want sunlight, beautiful vistas, and color everywhere.

@Soreth With a local tribe that you /have/ to peacefully learn their language and ways if you want to survive for long/get the best ending. Like, if you are violent to them, they would either isolate you on your own tiny island and if you keep attacking them, they will unite and mount an endless wave of attacks to destroy the new boogeyman who is threatening them.

@Soreth The way i see it happening is, like if you get pushed out of their territory long enough and don't antagonize them, then there would be an adventurous rebel actually seeks you out (like all good children do when they don't want to obey their parents) and you'd have the choice to either chill out and learn from them and teach them too, or you can be a idiot, attack the kid, and after they escape you, you start hearing war drums and horns in the distance until your killed.

@Soreth well, it's a tropical environment, so odds for encountering an island hopping lizard civilization are high, but why limit things? The lizards and the mammals can figure out how to live and work together. Culture is better when it is diverse and remixable. But that's just IMHO
