Patch notes
Gameplay
- Two new species are now playable in survival mode, Anglerfish and Mahi mahi.
Both have custom babies models, textures and animations.
- Especially baby mahi looks like a Milhouse for some reason. - Sea turtles and their babies have been added into Great map, currently they spawn in water on the beach - this will be fixed soon.
- Jellyfish now deal damage on touch to anything that is not armored.
( for example crabs, turtles or browurags won't get sting ) - Added an indicator of how many babies you have left with new ability(Q) to tell your own babies "Stay here" or "Follow me".
- Amount of max eggs now depends on fish base size - smaller species have more eggs than big ones. ( It's just a temporary solution for now )
- Hunger has been slowed down, and for very large fish even more.
- In Survival mode, AI adult fish have chance to spawn with level range of (1-15) instead of a constant (7).
- Ichtyosaurus now prefers to hunt near water level.
- Increased jellyfish amount.
- Increased overall fish amount in great map to 130% from 100%.
- Increased overall food amount in great map to 750x from 500x.
- Adjusted appetite for small fish to eat more. Also a proffered food has been set: coral babies prefer plancton, anglerfish babies spores and Mahi mahi babies prefer meat.
Graphics & Optimization
- Optimized and improved terrain rendering in both far and near distance.
- Optimized grass and sea weed rendering.
- Added new tiny shells as terrain details in Great map.
- Adjusted bloom sampling distance so no flickering happens around Anglerfish bait.
Others
- Fixed a bug that gave an ability to mate while already being pregnant.
- Reduced amount of hearths that go off while mating.
- (Hot-bugfix Aug 8, 2017) - fixed disabled growing in Deathmatch mode.
To do list:
- Anglerfish should be able to see way better in depth and get overwhelmed by sun near water surface.
- Ichtyosaurus, Sea turtles and Mosasaurus should be able to walk on land to lay eggs.
- Mushrooms should light without using Global Illumination.
- More diverse food chain in deeper waters.
Known bugs:
- Anglerfish sometimes take on cannibalism when too hungry and devour their own kind, we might keep this if it won't be too much game breaking.
- Small predators, like Bibos, that can't swallow jellyfish whole bite them and end up dying.
- Weird bug - sometimes adult fish join you, like if they were your babies refusing to go on
Thank you for your patience.
Stay tuned.
