Captains,
A new build is ready to descend. This update focuses on connection options, easier access to settings, updated bridge visuals, and new instruments to help you read the boat when the deep starts tilting beneath you.
New Features
Transport Selection Added
Players can now choose their connection method before heading into the water. The new transport selection allows switching between Direct IP and Steam connections.
Options Screen Available at Any Time
The options screen can now be opened at any time by pressing the Escape key.
The options screen now includes tabs for:
* Graphics
* Controls
* Audio
* Game
* Character Selection
Aft Turret Added
The submarine now has an aft turret, giving the vessel defensive coverage from the rear.
Inclination Meters Added
Inclination meters have been added to both sonar and the periscope, making it easier to track the submarine’s angle while navigating, scanning, and lining up what waits beyond the glass.
Visual Updates
Bridge Models Updated
All models on the bridge have been updated. The command space should now feel more complete, more readable, and more in line with the current Phantoms Deep visual direction.
Submarine Exterior Replaced
The external submarine model has been replaced with a new version.
Gameplay Improvements
Swimming Improved
The swimming mechanic has been improved for better movement and control outside the submarine.
Closing
Thank you to everyone testing the early build and sending feedback from the dark. Every report helps tighten the bolts, tune the instruments, and keep the boat moving through hostile water.
See you at test depth.
