changed1.0.0.4 Qualitiy-Of-Dive improvements: Technical stuff:
fixedTarget Collection, Funny Valves & Performance - Fixed damaged valves pointing in funny directions (just cosmetic issue). - Some minor performance improvements and back up stuff. Nothing you should notice during gameplay. Gameplay stuff:
changedSubmarine Typ II - Periscope - Ballast Tanks - New Layout The engineers improved a lot of the submarines layout. So much that it resulted in a new type. You will now find a new bridge, rudder and engine section. Along with this we got new toys on board. A periscope to better understand your surroundings. Ballast tanks for going down or up without constantly pressing the "push" buttons (use them carefully, as they are not effected by the STOP button). And some emergency rudders in the front and back, in case you got traped and don't want to use the sub-port. The Cofffee is now located at the bridge and we got a little more space in every section.
addedA huge thanks to the discord on this. I think it is a way better submarine now than ever before. - Save & Load The way this works is the following: Once the submarine is closed, everyone is able to save the current dive situation with cave, sub-health and sub-position. Loading is exclusive to the host of a session. This way it is possible to return with more or less players and a new set up to a savegame, as the loading takes place after the invite. So feel free to save a difficult situation and come back later with more people to show that cave who is in charge here. - More Sexy ESC Menu Still not the most beautiful, it is now improved with numbers to the sliders. You can type your values for FOV, sound and brightness now. We now also got some icons for cups and hats and stuff. - Manual I created a manual for everyone who wants to have some insights of the games mechanics. It can be found on the right side of the steam product page. Let me know if you want to read more there. I think it gives a good idea on how things work in S.O.C. but I am obvoiusly biased. - New SR room In preparation for the full release, the SR room in the base is now updated. Everyone can now also see their own records of the caves they successfully mastered on the big wall there. - New Hats? Not Yet. Make A Wish. So this is not a game about unlocking hats. So I decided I will just add every hat that is wished for in the discord to the game (one per member). So if you would like to see a specific hat, just let me know on discord. I will see what I can do for you.
changedThat's it for now. There is still some stuff I would like to see before the full release but this game is getting close to its final version. Some tweaking and maybe some additonal viewports to the sub and everything is ready. Let me know what you think and feel free to join the discord. Link is on the store-page.
