- Mini-map displays only relevant information like: Boost Buoys, Ramps, Checkpoints, Water Bombs, Spike Balls, Boat Cannons and the Track Path. Water and Weather
- All water systems have been overhauled to be more in line with the type of physics we are trying to achieve. It's a big update that now includes coastal waves and large ocean waves with greater accuracy!
- To help give each map a more personal and unique look, all maps (but Main Menu and Ocean Park) no longer have player controlled weather systems. They instead are hard set.
- All of these water changes are helping us gear up for the new river systems! Boat Updates
- I know it's drastic but... you can no longer jump. We felt this adds a neat skill requirement. If you want to get height out of the water, you have to dive down and pull up!
- Buoyancy and thrust have been overhauled to work with the new water.
- Added new unlockable boats to choose from.
- Each boat now has custom collision. Currently this added collision does not impact the boats mass, density and buoyancy. Performance
- Foliage performance has been greatly improved across the board.
- Swamps and Jungle biomes benefitted the most from this.
- Temporarily disabled interactive fish.
- New experimental shader system has been removed.
- Almost all audio systems have been upgraded to the MetaSounds built into UE5. Overall Game Updates
- Removed the requirement of completing The Pond before you can do any form of racing.
- Cups A and B are getting close to being completed. Steam Deck Support
- Numerous improvements have been implemented for a less demanding experience.
- We are trying to get Undertow to run on many systems. In doing so, using the Low settings is more for mobile.
- For Steam Deck only, currently it runs well on low setting with Lumen disabled. There is a known bug where the FPS seems to be capped at 40 but by no means does this impact anything. New UI Languages
- Spanish, Japanese and Chinese
- This does not include The Pond.
- If you spot something that doesn't make sense, please feel free to join our discord and let us know! Any help is greatly appreciated! As it is... I'm not even great at english! Roadmap
- Individual performance of boats. Like turning quicker and having faster acceleration at the cost of a higher top speed.
- AI boats to race against.
- Ghost replays of your best times to race against.
- Hazzard maps. More to come on this. From all of us at Fresh Bread Games, see you at the races! <3
