Just wanted to thank everyone for their patience and understanding as we want to release the best game possible.

Special Thanks to all the Playtesters from the last demo playtest, I got some invaluable feedback and have made vast improvements to the game in the past months.

Here are some of the new features-

  • Complete redo of cameras and controls.

  • Improved UI controls for gamepad.

  • Added more options to change controls and sensitivity.

  • Added more options to change and control graphic and ocean settings to improve performance

  • "Breach Jumps", if you swim up to the surface from underwater fast enough you will do a jump.

  • You can now roll and barrel roll, and swim upside down while underwater.

  • Harpoon whaling boats- they can harpoon you, which slows you down and keeps you attached to the boat until you can wiggle free. They can also harpoon other orcas, take them out to save your friends!

  • Better ship sinking physics and destruction

  • Better wall collisions and a new "Falling" state for the player. You'll smack off walls, and they do damage. No more passing through walls or terrain.

  • You can now munch on humans, you can bite them while underwater and then you can carry them around in your mouth until they despawn.

  • New Ram Helmet weapons, you can Ram and bash your way through certain kinds of rock, and do double damage to enemy ships.

  • Reworked alot of the ocean life for more interaction.

  • New fish schooling system, looks amazing and works great.

Plus a plethora of other bug fixes.
