New Divers: Shelly & Finn

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=510274564

Shelly: Lead scientist for the Specimen Program at the Aquatics Research Lab, Shelly specializes in cybernetic organisms and was responsible for the creation of Specimen 8. After Specimen 8's escape to open water, Shelly was tasked with recovery of the beast due to her intimate knowledge of its systems and capabilities.

Finn: An astute surgeon and well read marine biologist, Finn oversees all medical operations and upgrades within the Specimen Program. With considerable experience handling the beasts, Finn was the first choice to join Shelly in the recovery of Specimen 8 after its escape from the Aquatics Research Lab.

New Map: Station

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=510274710
An old disused pumping station, used to refine and filter natural crude oil lies forgotten. Rumored to be the home of Specimen 8, Shelly and Finn have done their best to guide Captain Stubbs and the rest of the crew to this location for a chance at recovery.

SPECIMEN 8 GREAT WHITE

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=510274631
For years the military has been searching for a way to gain an edge in aquatic warfare. It started with training dolphins... but that wasn't enough. Deep in an ocean laboratory at an undisclosed location, they have taken it to the next level. Unfortunately their creation managed to chew through a titanium fence, slaughter its handlers, and escape to open water. This is going to be one heck of a cover-up...

THORNTAIL THRESHER

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=510274472
If there is a lucky shark somewhere in the ocean, this isn't it. He has been poked, punctured, and lacerated by almost every type of flotsam you could hope to find at sea. The collection of splinters lodged in his tail have earned him a deadly reputation among divers who have been shredded by his prickly appendage.

IN-GAME SHOP FOR SKINS

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=510274361
Depth's main menu has been expanded with a new area for browsing and managing skins. Preview and apply skins that you have access to, see how unlockable skins are gained, and purchase paid skins all from within the game.

All new and future skins will be available only through the in-game store, and all old skins are now available through the in-game store.

This here game's Depth. Shark Attack Deathmatch 2 looks a bit jankier.

The USA’s annual extended holiday of Shark Week kicked off on Sunday, celebrating the fact that their land is above sea level and, therefore, not filled with sharks. It’s an unusual national holiday, but one worth celebrating. Along with the customary week of Discovery Channel shows, this year’s Shark Weeks sees big updates from two shark video games.

Depth [official site] has launched a new hide-and-seek mode, while newcomer Shark Attack Deathmatch 2 [Steam page] has launched its co-op survival mode. It will never be safe to go back into the water, but that’s a death I could live with.

New Game Mode: Hide & Seek

With this update we're adding a new game mode, Hide and Seek. One player starts as a shark, and must hunt down the divers. When a diver is killed they join the shark side, and killing all divers secures a win for the sharks. But beware - diver players can defend themselves with their Bang Stick!

Hide and Seek is launching with five maps - including versions of Fractured and Galleon, as well as new maps Wreck and Station. We've also included a new community made Hide and Seek map from Gameo, called Mausoleum. You'll find Hide and Seek under the Private Match section of the Play menus.

New Map: Stash

Just off the coast of Cuba lies an abandoned and forgotten submarine base. With its roots tied to the cold war era and hints pointing to a nuclear involvement this relic is said to hold stashes of cached weapons that could bring a pretty price to the right buyers.

New S.T.E.V.E. Weapon Skin Pack

http://store.steampowered.com/app/384240/

Alongside this update we're releasing the new S.T.E.V.E. Weapon Skin Pack, on sale for 20% off until July 12th, 2015! Fight with the style of the divers' robotic overlord S.T.E.V.E! The S.T.E.V.E. Weapon Skin pack adds new finishes for the SPP-1 Pistol, ADS Rifle, Sea Mine, and LJ-10 Volleyjet.

Whiplash is Depth's latest free update adding the all new Thresher shark, a community map 'Quarry' by Gameo, aim-down-sights, custom crosshairs, new weapon modifiers, and more!

Introducing The Thresher - The Sting Of A Whip
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=458158376
The Thresher doesn't look notably dangerous with its unassuming jaws, however its true weapon is a long, blade-like tail capable of lacerating and disorienting multiple prey at once.

Introducing Quarry - A New Community Made Map
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=458157965
This long deserted limestone quarry has become an underwater battleground strewn with naval sea mines and full off colossal crystals.

This map was made in DepthED by Gameo, a member of the Depth community.

Reef Stalker - Tiger Skin
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=458154718
The only proof of this beast's existence is the trail of dismembered bodies it leaves in its wake. The few who claim to have seen it speak of a monstrous tiger shark that strikes without warning and then disappears into the darkness. Locals have named it the "Reef Stalker" after its favored hunting grounds.

Sawtooth - Mako Skin
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=458155116
The only thing uglier than this Mako's face, is its temperament. Born with a genetic abnormality that caused its teeth to form into jagged 'saws', it is more than capable of tearing prey limb from limb, and has been responsible for a rash of attacks on wreck divers in recent months.

Rebuilt Main Menu And Spawn/HUD Improvements
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=458159797
We've re-built the main menu for Depth, updating it with our fresh new UI style which we debuted with the Ship Wrecked update for in-game menus. This new style improves performance with reduced memory usage, while providing crisp clear visuals on 4k (and above) resolutions!

Lock On To Sharks With Aim Down Sights
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=458159465
As a diver you can now use Aim Down Sights functionality with (by default) the Right Mouse Button. We've even added an optional spherical aiming system to Aim Down Sights, so you can shoot 'over vertical', for tracking pesky sharks swimming directly above or below you.

Crosshairs Just The Way You Want Them
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=458157518
Unhappy with the default Depth crosshair? Then make your own with our new custom crosshair system. There's options for the size, style, and color of various parts of the crosshair - and we've included a bunch of templates from the community for you to try out.

Play Your Way With Expanded Weapon Modifiers
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=458163816
We've added a whole host of new weapon modifiers for divers to customize their loadout.
