Development Updates

Hello everyone!
This week I've been working on the U-boat interior.
It's near complete, but there are still textures and smaller details missing.
Koji is working on the corvette and Axel is working on the network test environment. Next week we'll get back to fixing bugs and refining the beta version.

When do you estimate that the game will be finished?

We expect to leave early access some time next year. However, development will most likely continue further. We are not set on when to consider it final.

Hello everyone!
Patch 0.25f is now available in the beta branch.

Updated interaction model for stations.
Merged EOT and rudder control station. To steer while using the new helm station, press A or D.
Hydrophone, periscopes, deck gun and AA gun can now be controlled using WASD.
Fixed torpedo explosion damage: Damage should now me considerably higher if the torpedo explodes beneath the keel of a ship.
Added option to remove sway in stations. You'll find the checkbox in the game menu.
Various bugfixes.

More bugs will be fixed next week before we get back to adding water effects.

Nicely done :-)

Quick question ref. the torpedoes exploding below the keel. How to set the pistols to magnetic / impact?

Cheers,
Lost

Should be enabled on all torps. If they strike, the impact fuse is detonated. If they pass under the keel within a certain amount, the magnetic will be triggered.

oh ok, I see!
Thx for clarifying.

Cheers,

It's kind of incredible you say work still needs to be done - I mean that as a compliment; the interiors look just about perfect to me, and many professional big-studio games with submarines don't hold up well to what you have done. Also, I enjoyed seeing images of Koji's corvette. Great work.

Axel has been continuing work on the networked test enviroment,
this week he implemented a character statemachine, interactable objects, enterable stations and UI.
