Subnautica Week 2021 Themes
We are just over a month away from Subnautica Week 2021 and so it is time to reveal the themes.
You don't have to only draw these themes. You could, for example, write a PDA entry, make a gif set, make a video, write a story featuring your creation, or whatever takes your fancy. I’ve included some questions in the descriptions for each day, but you do not have to answer them all in your creations. They are merely there for some guidance/prompting if you’re a bit stuck on what you want to create. You also don’t have to do something for every single day. Everything is up to you.
The majority of these themes are a 'create your own' style since there's a lot that can be done creatively within the world of Subnautica, and I wanted the prompts to be as open as possible.
These themes do contain some spoilers for Subnautica: Below Zero!
Day 1 (April 5): Create your own creature
We all know that the creatures in Subnautica can range from the adorably cute to the bone-chillingly terrifying. If you were to create your own creature, what would they look like? What sounds would they make? What would they eat? What biome would they be in? Would they be a land, sea, or sky creature, or maybe a combination?
Day 2 (April 6): Create your own vehicle
The vehicles help us in navigating the big scary ocean, from transporting us through the shallows to the deepest, darkest depths. What will your vehicle look like? What would it need to power it? How far would it be able to take you? Is it designed for the air, sea, or land?
Day 3 (April 7): Create your own biome
The biomes featured in Subnautica and Subnautica: Below Zero are easily one of the most stunning aspects of the game. From the safety of the shallows to the fiery lava-filled depths, we can’t deny that there is a lot on show. What kind of biome would you create? Would it be safe or filled with danger? What flora and fauna might we find there? Did the Architects/Precursors ever use it?
Day 4 (April 8): Design your own Architect/Precursor vessel
In Subnautica: Below Zero, we see Al-An transfer himself from Robin's mind into a majestic vessel that looks like a cybernetic centaur. Create your own vessel for the Architects/Precursors. Would they resemble an animal? What would they be made out of? What would they be capable of?
Day 5 (April 9): Create your own Subnautica character
Subnautica and Subnautica: Below Zero introduce us to many characters, not just the ones we play. What would your own character be like? Would they agree with Alterra or be against them? Would they ever go to 4546B? If so, what would they do there? Are they human?
Day 6 (April 10): Crossover
The theme for today prompts you to mash Subnautica with another of your favourite games/books/shows/films/etc. You can do this any way you’d like. What would the cast of something else look like in the Subnautica world? What would the characters in Subnautica look like in another universe?
Day 7 (April 11): Whatever you want
Let your creativity run wild. Create whatever Subnautica-themed wonderfulness you want!
If your creations may be triggering due to alcohol/drug usage, blood, violence, etc. please remember to tag your posts appropriately.
Also, don't forget that the banner competition is still ongoing. The closing date is Friday 12th March and guidelines can be found here.
