Maupiti Beautification Pass 1

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

This updates the island of Maupiti adding some new features...

1. Island textures redone so they are much greener.

2. New coral assets imported. You can find the small coral sample area to the North West of Maupiti harbour near the 2 large rocks in the bay. Check out the screen shot on the store page for a more accurate location guide. Performance impact is negligible.

3. Various tweaks to the coast line to smooth the transition from water to land creating some nice beaches and shallow lagoons.

4. Added new rocks to the area.

5. Maupiti now has a smoking caldera!

6. Water clarity above and below the surface has been increased.

7. Underwater blur effect has been removed as you really want to see things clearly as if you are scuba diving.

8. Bluefin boat now has a bit more "pep" which is visible if you accelerate hard from slow speed as the nose will now pop in the air a bit more. I've also increased the prop steering angle so it is more agile at low speed.

9. Vortex has also had its engine retuned for more low down grunt.

It only really effected the smaller boats and you should find that they are now suitably buoyant! I've also tweaked some other physics settings such as rudder forces etc for many of the boats so they should handle more realistically at lower speeds. As always, the physics engine is a…Game update10 Aug 2022Fish Physics Update1. Updated all big fish to the same physics system as the boats so they now move a little more realistically than before. This includes the Bull Shark, Blue Shark, Sting Ray, Sunfish, Man o' War jelly fish and the new Clown Trigger fish. 2. You can now collide with big fish properly and they won't fly off into orbit! However, the Bull Shark is a big heavy fish so smaller boats may come of worse…Game update8 Aug 2022Sealife Update2 new species added to the fish pool... 1. Sunfish 2. Man 'o War jellyfish. The sunfish has similar A.I. to sharks and can usually be found swimming near the surface although they will also swim underwater. The Man o' War always sits at the water surface and doesn't move that much! I will be updating the physics engine for the fish to use the same buoyancy systems as boats. This should fix the…
