Dave The Diveris an unusual mixture of deep sea exploration, sushi restaurant management, and a thousand other ideas. It’s also been a smash hit since its release from early access in June.

Dev Interview | Upcoming Quality of Life Update!
New content is on the way, the developers say, but not before a quality-of-life update designed to address player feedback.
Among the most requested changes: the option to turn off button mashing, which is used for reeling in fish and other actions in Dave The Diver. The developers say that they recognise this is an issue for people due to fatigue, acessibility, or even for those who don’t want to make too much noise when playing while their kids' sleep. After the update, you’ll be able to flip a menu option and instead simply hold down a button to fill the meter and reel in fish.
The video ends with the developers saying that other game developers should get in touch if they’re interesting in “crossovers”, because they’d love to partner with other games. I imagine they’ll have a few people reaching out given that Dave The Diver has apparently sold over a million copies so far.
