Ocean Keeper Coop: First Major Update 0.1.5

Hey Guardians!

It’s been two weeks since we announced the beta release of Ocean Keeper Coop. During this time, we’ve already hosted plenty of playtests with our devs and our amazing community (by the way, those happen in our Discord – and anyone can join in). Now, it’s finally time for the very first major update!

So, what’s new?

Quick Join

Playing with friends is the heart of OK Coop. But some of you had trouble with having ones :'( You asked for a fix – and we didn’t exactly find you new friends, but we did add a Quick Join button! No need to wait around, just hop in and automatically connect to open lobbies. Steam post image

• Added a system for automatically finding the optimal server with an open lobby.

• Added the ability to kick a player from the lobby.

New Boss

A new boss has arrived: meet the Crimson Ringed Horror. We just call him John for short (we haven't actually given it a name, feel free to suggest your own). We won’t spoil which wave he spawns on – consider it a surprise.

Also:

• Multiple players can now carry ore together.

• A boss fight timer has been added.

• Laser VFX polished.

• Late waves optimized.

• Enemy sizes adjusted.

• Wave and enemy balance improvements.

• Skill balance reworked.

• Fixed a bug when leveling up twice caused a teleport to the surface.

• Fixed a bug with disabled sounds on the first launch.

• Fixed falling ore after teleporting.

• Fixed mic mute/unmute issues.

• Fixed Digger controls during waves.

• Fixed boss attack behavior.

• Fixed weapon and skill reload issues.

• Fixed enemies staying motionless.

Think that’s it? Not quite! To celebrate this update, we’re inviting you to a special DEV+Community playtest happening today at 05:00 PM Kyiv time (10:00 AM ET / 4:00 PM CET) in our Discord. Bring your friends – and come meet John ;)

See you there,

— The Ocean Keeper Team
