Introduction to the Story Prototype of Diver Dave Is the Main Character of the Diver Dave Mobile Game Based on a Real Person?

"Dive Dave" is a pixel-style adventure and management game released in 2023. Recently, a mobile version of the game is about to be launched, and reservations for the Chinese server have already started. As a result, discussions about the story prototype of Dive Dave have heated up again. The protagonist in the game is named "Dave," and there is also a real-life diver named "Dave (Dave)." Therefore, some players wonder if the main character of the Dive Dave mobile game really exists. Below, we will provide an answer.

Actually, although the game's protagonist, Dave, shares the same name as the real-life story's protagonist, Australian diver "Dave Shaw," the developers have mentioned that this is a coincidence. However, they are pleased that many people still remember this diver because of the game and pay tribute to "Dave Shaw."

Dave Shaw's story took place in 2005 when he discovered the remains of a diver, Deon Dreyer, who had been missing for 10 years in a cave, and planned to retrieve them. Unfortunately, Dave Shaw lost his life during the recovery operation. Later, both Dreyer and Shaw's remains were brought out of the cave by other divers.

Since the name of the game's protagonist matches that of the real story's protagonist, many players believe that the creator's inspiration came from this, and many media marketing accounts have promoted it as such. However, in reality, the two are not related.

The creator's inspiration came from "One Piece" and "Yakuza." For example, the "Blue Hole" in the game corresponds to "All Blue" in One Piece. The game's management system and some mini-game challenges were inspired by "Yakuza" and "Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker."

The above is an introduction to the story prototype of Dive Dave. In fact, when the character was initially designed, the creator did not know about this story, so it cannot be said that it was based on Dave Shaw. Actually, whether or not it is based on him is not important; knowing this story is enough. This true history embodies humanity's perseverance in exploring the unknown and fulfilling promises.
