Hey there!

Development has been busy for the last months and the upcoming update is progressing just great!

We know communication was pretty much shut down for the last two months and like to apologize for that. We took our time to read and evaluate every single suggestion, comment and post within the Steam forum and used your input to come up with different concepts on how to evolve the game's underwater experience.

With the underwater update coming by the end of next month, the game will take a huge step forward in terms of visual quality, atmosphere and playtime!

Here are some first insights what is going to be part of the update:




The update will replace the whole underwater landscape with a more organic looking and diverse scenery. Get ready to explore different habitats, canyons, tunnels and hidden caves!





We rebuilt our vegetation shaders from sketch. The update will increase the density and level of detail of all the plants and corals and will make the scenery look more inhabited.




New first person animations will replace the current placeholders with more dynamic and natural movements. Check out the above ingame footage to get a first impression of what we're going for!

More new features and insights will be announced very soon!

Best,
NIGHTBOX

The development of our next update is going well and we set the release date to December 20. Here is a brief overview of what is about to come:

As stated in the initial announcement the update primarily focuses on performance and visual quality. There are also some smaller changes and additions, which will be published with the changelog on release day.


The game engine has been upgraded to a newer version. We also adjusted the games rendering and optimized huge parts of the coding for better performance. This significantly increases the average fps for most systems. The reworked preloading should shut down lags during gameplay.





The following options will be adjustable within the settings menu:

Resolution, Screen Mode, V-Sync, Anti-Aliasing, Ambient Occlusion, Water Quality, Texture Quality, Shadow Quality, View Distance, Coral Density, Decorative Fishes.





For this update all structures, stations, tools and items have been remodeled and come with all new high-resolution textures. The game’s light and render settings have been completely reworked to look more realistic and to add more visual variety at different times of the day or night.

Also, there will be a little Christmas surprise ;)

! Please be aware that due to the changes in coding this update won’t be compatible with older savegames !

6 weeks have passed since the release of Bermuda – Lost Survival.
Since then, we received tons of useful feedback and reports that helped us improve the game a lot! With this announcement, we want to say THANK YOU to all early supporters! Keep it up!


We know you guys are waiting for content update 3 which will make the game more challenging by adding new threads and dangers. Based on feedback, we decided to delay that content update and release a technical update before it.

• Improving the overall performance of the game
  
• Enhanced quality settings will allow players to set up and adjust the game to their wishes
  
• Improving the visual quality of the game

The release of this update is planned for mid-December at the latest.

To shorten the wait, take a peek at what we’re going for:

All models in the game will be reworked visually.


Completely reworked render settings will make the visual appearance of Bermuda – Lost Survival a lot more realistic.

More info and insights will be posted on twitter.
