The O2 is better if you turn on the ventilator...

I really emphasize you share your feedback in the steam forums. Nihilcat appreciates every constructive critic and tackles every challenge. You got good ideas and feedback, would be a shame if they don't read it.

Any updates that people in the beta can share?

Looking forward to trying this for myself.

Been following the steam forum avidly! I just missed out on being a backer so didn't make it on the beta testing list unfortunately but hopefully not too much longer to wait for the public release.

Playing Uboat for the first time...
 

...and not just bug logging.

The game is getting much better. As a beta tester, it was a matter, originally, of playing for 5 minutes and quitting to log a show-stopping bug. It is now a matter of playing for hours and making a few notes of buggish things.

Hopefully, they will open up new features soon in preparation for Alfa. 2018 might be wishful thinking, but maybe early 2019.

I have also just realized you can put CO2 scrubbers in the ventilator.

Pretty clear from that list that the devs care passionately about what they are building.

Build 90 is pretty good...
 

...You can now play until you die or quit. No more bugging out every time.
Steam doesn't log in-game hours for this beta, but I would guess I have 20+ hours in. Trying to log as many bugs as possible.

The next dev step is probably the activation of the periscope UI, maybe a save function (speculation).

nihilcat stated recently that Q1/19 is a solid bet for general alpha release. He said he would actually sign off on that estimate (unlike previous estimates).

Thanks for the update Ernstww, any info is much appreciated. :up:

I'm guessing the Alpha release will come up on Steam? and will be available as an open alpha for all to buy/try?
