Today, I would like to share with everyone the story behind the inspiration for the game Diver Dave. This game, with its humorous and light-hearted plot design and warm, relaxing art style, brings a refreshing and comforting experience to players. However, behind this joy, there is also a slightly melancholic and touching story waiting for players to uncover and feel. Next, let's take a look at this touching story.

The main character of the game, Dave, is a middle-aged man with a face marked by the passage of time and a slightly fuller figure. He owns and manages a cozy sushi shop. During the bright daytime, he dives into the blue sea to catch fresh fish. When night falls, he transforms into a chef and shop owner, carefully preparing dishes and meticulously managing every aspect of the shop.

In reality, Dave's image was inspired by an Australian diving enthusiast named Dave Shaw. During a diving expedition in South Africa, Dave Shaw discovered a plaque that had been placed by two heartbroken parents in memory of their son who had tragically lost his life in these waters. Since the body was buried deep underwater, recovery efforts were extremely difficult, leaving the young life to rest eternally in the deep waters.

Faced with this scene, the real Dave made a firm decision to bring the drowned boy back to shore at all costs. He meticulously planned and organized a professional recovery team, diligently training himself in deep diving and underwater operations, especially in how to safely wrap objects underwater. Despite his thorough preparation, the complexity of the deep-sea environment far exceeded his expectations. Although Dave successfully brought the boy's body back, he tragically lost his own life on the return journey. It wasn't until days later that other team members found their bodies in a hidden crevice near the surface, finally bringing both back to shore.

This is the story behind the inspiration for Diver Dave. Although the prototype story carries deep sorrow, the game presents it in a lighthearted and pleasant way, as if quietly planting Dave's indomitable optimism and fearless courage in each player's heart. On the surface, it is positioned as a business simulation game, but upon deeper exploration, players will find it more like an extravagant seafood feast. Players may initially seek a peaceful pastoral life in the game, but they are often amused by the endless creative gameplay, leading to many laughs.
