Procgen Maps and Infamy!

Gday Sailors!

We're happy to bring you the next update of Sea Of Survivors! This update includes: procedurally generated maps, location based waves, the infamy system (new game+), 19 new treasures, and a lot of quality of life improvements.

Unfortunately, as a side effect of the new map system, all progress on the old map is lost.

The Map

• All progress on the old map is lost

• Maps are now procedurally generated based on an input seed

• Enemy waves now vary by island, with each island having a raid wave and an area wave

• Buried treasure islands now always give a fixed treasure, based on the map seed

• Bottles now always give maps to the 3 closest islands

• Added the new cartographer island, which reveals the closest undiscovered island when raided

• Mergates now reveal all other Mergates when raided

Infamy

• Removed the various curses from the game.

• Added 19 tiers of Infamy, slowly ramping up the difficulty of the game

• Each tier of infamy is unlocked by finishing a run on the previous tier of infamy

Treasures

• Added 19 new treasures

• Adjusted which chests treasures are found in (the cross is now in the boss chest)

• Some treasures can now only be found via an ambition or by raiding an island

• Treasures will now display tickers on the side of the screen for their effects

• Compasses now give a speed boost based on location, instead of direction

• Capped the Feast treasures at 1 each

• Improved the scaling of Ramstein's Spyglass

• The "cooldown" stat has been renamed to "cooldown reduction"

• Introduced a "chest queue", so multiple chests can be opened in a single treasure screen

• When picking up chests, the treasure screen won't open until all nearby chests are picked up

• Ambitions triggered by placing a treasure will be added to the chest queue

• Level up chests triggered by skipping chests will be added to the chest queue

Enemies

• Minefish and Submarines now spawn with a more random pattern

• The Great One now immediately teleports the player at the start of the fight

• The aura's given off by Curseweaver boats are now limited to affecting nearby enemies

Misc

• Upgraded to Unity 6

• Removed the Unity splash screen

• Removed the Main Menu

• Reworked the Quartermaster Menu

• Reworked the Crew Ambition UI to be more straightforward

• Improved the performance issues caused by large amounts of pickups

• Added the "Overkill" stack to track damage dealt to enemies past their max health

• Added option to stop the game pausing when minimized ("run in background")

• Added option to remove the confirmation when skipping chests ("disable skip chest confirm")

• Fixed a bug where the "Everything must go" achievement wouldn't be rewarded

• Fixed a bug where transforming treasures could freeze the game, still on the lookout for more bugs with transforming

We're still working on the last area, which will feature 3 more weapons, new enemies, and new treasures.

Thanks for sailing with us!
