    From that 1 twitter comment by Hugh regarding how many people are working on which projects at UWE I certainly wouldn't use the term "hype". As far as I can see, there isn't any hype going on with the "secret project", at least not from our end of things.

    Yes, there is another project in addition to Subnautica that a small team at UWE are working on, that is using a new version of the Spark engine. Hint: it is NOT NS3. It is still in the very early stages, but is progressing nicely. Not sure when there will be something ready to discuss and show, but I imagine there might be some details made public before the end of the year. I certainly can't speak to who will be excited and who will be "gravely disappointed", I just know that any project we work on at UWE we put our all into, and try to make something we personally find interesting and fun to play.

    I believe you just launched the thread message count to a stratospheric altitude.

    @BeigeAlert‌ : LOL... even Lawl.

    Oh god, please don't have this become a over-hype piece. I would either prefer to have my expectations set or not be told at all.

    It's not that I don't like surprises as I'm eager just as all of you to see what this Secret Project is. But, given past experiences, I'm more afraid about being gravely disappointing or finding this project unrelatable. Unless we can get credible information that it's worth the hype.

    Is it at least something sci-fi in the way NS2 was? I'm under NDA! YOU CAN TELL ME!!!! :D:D:D

    I wonder what you can do with Spark that isn't NS. And I wonder what genre it will be.

    Charlie doesn't want to do violent games anymore. I remember he said that in a video somewhere. That limits it somewhat.

    Grave digging is about the least violent, most relaxing thing you can do in the world and I can't wait for UWE's next spark project, Grave Digging Simulator 2014, to be released on steam.
    Mmmmm dirt physics... So realistic... So earthy...

    Anyway, we're playing this one pretty close to the chest for the time being. I REALLY can't wait to let you guys in and see what we're up to, but we're not quite there yet.

    That feeling is mutual ;)

    Good luck until then!

    Question, who's the project leader on... "secret project alpha"?

    Let's send them a ham. Project leaders love ham.

    Only thing i can really think of is that all the donations for pizza money Charlie has gotten from us they are now doing something like this:

    Will GDS14 have an option to choose between spade shovels, square shovels, or a bobcat?

    Most important question regarding SN to me. Or rather gorges themselves in some fishy incarnation

    I could see gorge sea turtles or if there is any land at all, maybe a pre kharra infested gorge that is hippopotamus like.

    I have to say, it's pretty fascinating to see what you guys start speculating about in an almost complete absence of information. :)
