about that freaking giant planet in the sky!!!! At first I thought it was the moon but when night fell I was surprised to see the moon so small. A huge part of me now wants to know if we might explore the other planet in a sequel, or if it serves any significance besides visual wonder. There's lots the devs could potentially do now that they've piqued my interest.

There's the small one (that looks exactly like Earth's) and the huge, epic one that's awesome.
But yeah, that bigger one would make a great sequel. I feel as if though that a planet's moon being habitable as well as the planet itself doesn't feel real. It's extremely rare to find a habitable planet, and I could imagine it being even harder for the moon as well.
What would we exactly do there? Explore a barren wasteland? Build a civilization, alone? Maybe with some people who contacted us?
I would suggest the objective being building a radio tower on it, so you could contact the rest of Humanity to let them know about your tragic store. You'd have to repair the Aurora (or perhaps build a smaller ship from the materials in the Aurora) to fly to the other celestial body, and create some equipment to let people know you survived. Why not build it on the ocean planet, you say? Well, maybe the case could be the planet has too thick of an atmosphere, so the communication equipment could not be able to reach out far enough. Your character would be told to build some radio tower on Nautica, only to find that it doesn't work.
I really want some kind of a 'The Martian' feel to the situation. I want there to be so many odds against the main character, so many obstacles, that when you come out on top, you feel like some kind of hero who actually accomplished something.
What else would it be?
Edit: Oh you're implying it might be a moon, hmm, I guess that's possible.
have you guys came up with a name for the "celestial body" we crashed on yet.
Pretty sure it's just 'Subnautica'.
If it's an egg of a massive alien I'll be disappointed
I'd be more worried about mommy!!!
Sure, but only because that's really not a particularly "fresh" idea :P
I'm looking at you, Doctor Who
I was thinking of something else entirely but yea, that just proves that it's not particularly new :P
The planet Subnautica takes place on may not be a planet at all. It could be just a large moon orbiting a planet. Heck, it could be binary planet which technically is one of two moons orbiting the same barycenter.
Such limited thinking going on here...
I vote for Nautica. It's short and simple.
That doesn't make much sense, since the reason for all the sub-surface stuff is the crash. You should either assign a meaningful number to it (XR47-T4-C2, for example; Star system XR47, T-class planet that's fourth in the system, C-class moon that is second closest to the planet) or just a name that could be assigned before the crash, so maybe the mentioned before "Nautica" or even something unrelated to the sea.
Aurora's mission was to clean the glass, wash the gravel and change the filter media.
Yes,
Did you? The wiki definition specifically says "planet, moon, or other body".
I don't know if you know already but in case you don't, it does have a numeric designation - 4546B.

Also, minor plot point, but how come you were the ONLY survivor on a ship that I would assume would have hundreds if not thousands of crew and passengers? Surely, surely, if you(the guy, don't know his name!) had survived the crash, the ejection, the hostile fish and a myriad of other calamities, others must have too?
Frankly, if I was the last man left alive on an alien world with only a computer reminding me that I'm about to drown/about to get crushed by water pressure, I would probably give myself over to the Reapers. Bit morbid I know, but think how this poor colonist must feel, literally forever alone!
My point is that could the guy construct an assistant robot who could follow him around, perform tasks such as construction or deep-sea salvage or even interact and converse? I know its AI, but as films like Interstellar have shown us, robots capable of human interaction can be a good thing, especially when you just sucked down a black hole and need something real to cling to. Its not the best comparison I know, but you see my point.
TL;DR, give the guy a companion! I mean, c'mon, this ain't Minecraft!
