Dear Stormworkers,

The new underwater major update is out now!

This update includes:

Underwater Biome

The new biome includes a series of volcanic islands, based on many of the volcanic islands in the Pacific Ring of Fire. Many of these new islands are active volcanoes and can erupt at random or on request from the custom menu.

The biome also includes new under-sea features, including a trench, sea floor cabling, ruins, wrecks, and many kilometers of winding an interlinked underwater tunnels. The tunnels can be accessed from underwater, and also new caves on some islands.

There are many new locations, named in honour of great community members and workshop creators. Thank you to the selfless and kind people who give up their time to help other players, and thank you to the talented creators who have reached high popularity with incredible creations on the workshop. There are many more community heroes and creators than we have had chance to honour, and look forward to naming more locations in the future.



Underwater Missions

There are several new mission types, including submersed rescues, salvage, and repairs. These missions can spawn in many locations across the world, as well as specific new locations in the new biome.

It is now easier to see underwater as we have increased visibility and lighting, to help with underwater operations.



Glow Sticks

To help keep track of locations and add some softer illumination at night or underwater, we have added new glow sticks! The color of the glowsticks can be painted in the editor, and they will last a long time when deployed.

Sonar

We have added new sonar components, that behave in a more realistic manner. Sonar can now listen in all directions at once, and can operate in active and passive mode. In active mode, the sonar emits a loud ping which travels far through water, bouncing back off vehicles and other objects with a delay relative to the distance travelled. Passive sonar simply listens and can detect propellers, engines, and other noisy parts.



We are really excited to release this new update and can't wait to hear back from players on your thoughts and feedback! Thanks to all the support and feedback we have received that has made this new update possible.

Much love <3,

The Stormworks Developers



v1.5.0 Underwater Update

Changes that include a #NUMBER relate to fixes or features submitted by the Stormworks community via 'geometa.co.uk/support/stormworks' which can be accessed via the 'Report Bug/Request Feature' button in-game.
Posting a submission to this tracker ensures we review your suggestion/report since we may not see reports submitted via other channels.

While we made no infrastructure changes in this update we still recommend creating a new save file as various new environment zones have been added to the default scripts to allow the new mission types to spawn.

Feature - New Volcanic Archipelago biome (#5171 #879 #2019)
Feature - New underwater themed missions and mission improvements
Feature - New Glowstick Equipment (#801)
Feature - Advanced Sonars and Sonar Jammer (#337)

The new 40x40km volcanic archipelago biome is located south-west of the sawyer isles and is the new home of the Kraken.
The region features a series of small volcanoes interspersed with deep trenches, sunken landmarks and an intricate network of submerged passages.

With the addition of several underwater themed mission scenarios we also made various fixes and improvements to the existing mission infrastructure.
Missions should now have an easier time spawning as some theme filtering was previously limiting mission spawning too strictly, meaning some mission scenarios were previously unable to spawn successfully.
The Repair mission objective has been expanded in functionality to several mission types; players can expect to require an underwater welder for some of the new missions, with search-and-rescue missions sometimes offering an optional reward for repairing the vehicle in distress.

Feature - Added additional hospital-boat AI ships that now patrol specific biomes
Feature - New icon for addons with editable settings (in the addon selector menu)
Feature - #6898 Spawn Kraken button added to custom menu
Feature - Addon editor ocean toggle
Feature - 'Show timers' and 'Show rewards' mission addon settings
Fix - #1200 Vehicle save/load not serializing basic block damage & not generating damaged mesh on load
Fix - Ropes now use a constant number of physics nodes
Fix - Fixed 3 map icons sharing names internally causing them to render as a different icon
Fix - #5663 #6568 Missions/Cargo now check if spawn area is clear before spawning
Fix - Mission zones with no size now default to large instead of never spawning
Fix - Zone filtering causing certain mission locations to never spawn
Fix - #3132 Relative to seafloor mission tag behavior restored
Fix - Breakers/relays/chargers are no longer explode on damage
Fix - #7993 SRB fins now work underwater
Fix - Corrected buoyancy surfaces for large and medium warheads
Rework - The Kraken now only naturally spawns within the underwater biome.
Rework - Updated how mission descriptions are generated
Balance - #5026 Rebalanced mission rewards to be more generous
Balance - #5026 Rebalanced ocean lootboxes to be rarer
Balance - Increased cost of diving outfit to 2000

Addon Lua Api:

Added isLocationClear(transform, size_x, size_y, size_z)
Added getOceanFloor(transform)
Added "static" to getVehicleData()
Added to "parent_vehicle_id" and "parent_relative_transform" getZones()
Updated getCharacterData().interactible -> .interactable (Legacy spelling remains available)
Added radius param to addDamage and unlinked magnitude value from the radius.
Added a voxel pos optional override for setCharacterSeated instead of requiring to use the name
getVehicleData now includes a table named "components" which currently contains tables for seats, buttons and signs

Additional info is included in the in-game addon lua help tabs.

v1.4.20-24 (Hotfixes)

Fix - Issue with radar detection
Fix - Game audio issues / Mac audio crackling
Fix - Crash caused by door particles

Hi Managers,

This is a new minor update for Tennis Manager 2022.
We were focused on bug fixes this time!

A major patch is coming next week on the match-sim.

We have made some scripts which also target CURRENT CAREERS for some changes, although you will need to begin a "NEW SAVE" to take advantage of changes listed with a *.

The update should download and install automatically. If it does not, we recommend restarting Store launcher.

[Patch] 2.2.1

Modifications & Balancing:

• Some players updates (name, height, game plans, starting affiliation, etc.) *
  
• A player will no longer ask to end contract after his/her arrival
  
• The display time of the tooltips has been increased for long texts
  
• The signing bonus when players renewed their contracts was, under certain conditions, far too high
  
• The weaker shape level will now be only possible if a player is injured

Fixes:

• Localization fixes
  
• It was possible to offer negative signing bonus to players/staffs
  
• Staff renewals were always taking a little money from academy
  
• The age of a created player was not consistent (and could cause issue during the career)
  
• 3D models in interfaces could sometimes never load
  
• In the email "Sport goals for this season", the 8th player was hidden in the list (it needed to scroll with the mouse wheel)
  
• It was not possible to complete player objective that requires more than 1 win
  
• Advices given during the briefing were not well conditioned (e.g. the opponent had always a better shape) *
  
• Players were injured too often at the end of the match and/or at important moments (warning: another issue is still there, it will be fixed in the next release)
  
• The mails "Summary of my sport goals" at the end of the season were inconsistent beyond the 1st season

* requires to start a new career


A Live Twitch is planned in the coming days to present the new patch! Follow us on Discord or Twitter.

Hey everyone!

Woah, that was quite crazy 2 days! First of all we wanted to THANK YOU all so much for joining us at Early Access! Overall, release was a great success and we cannot be happier with the awesome community we were able to gather here.

Seeing you play the game, give us feedback, comment and chat on Discord is a blast and huge motivation boost for the whole team! Thank you for your trust, support and feedback. We know that getting into Early Access games is a risk, as many fail to deliver on the promises. But we will make sure to reward your trust with as good game as possible!

Now, we wanted to make this quick update to give you a bit more information on what is currently happening, what we are planning and prioritizing for Early Access period.

Priority 1: Fixing any bugs / glitches
This is number one priority for our team. We are constantly looking over bug reports, feedback here on steam / discord.
We already have added bunch of hotfixes and most critical problems are addressed. Even more are coming.
Those quick hot-fix patches are coming without updates (just not to spam you) – for every “bigger” update we will have full list of changes and backlog ;)

Priority 2: In-game tutorial
We are fully aware that current rules presentation is… well, less then ideal. Especially for a game with level of complexity like that. We definitely want to make sure any new players, without prior board game experience can go through tutorial that will ease the learning curve.
This is not an easy task – but we are devoted to making it work!

Priority 3: Quality of life improvements
There is a lot of small and big improvements that you have requested and one by one we will be trying our best to implement them. Things like private game lobbies, better “game ending” and so on.
You can expect a lot of those implemented and in general iron out gameplay experience.

Priority 4: More rules visibility
We also want to invest time in making some things more transparent (and currently are not). Things like event phase, intruder attacks or already mentioned ending of the game.
There is a careful balance to be maintained between transparency and too many information – but we hope together we will find a great way!

Priority 5: Language translation
For full release we will want to translate the game into at least few languages – not yet fully decided which ones, but we will communicate about it soon!

Overall, as you can see, there is plenty of work before us! You can expect new bigger patches every 2-4 weeks, with full backlog and progress report.

Once again – thank you all for being here, we really appreciate and we hope we are on the start of a great adventure 😉

Hey there!

Let's shake the dust here... We know it's been a long since the last update, but we've used that time wisely.
We've reached that point where the news gets more interesting and have decided to keep you more updated on the game status. So, from now on, we'll try to make an update every month until the launch.

We have finished:

• All game scenes. Counting over 70, most of them are scrollable (Still can't believe that if we look back to our beginnings).
  
• Painting and animating more than 30 'living' characters.
  
• Almost every dialog line.

We have started the internal playtesting. Here we analyze the game flow and its difficulty, look for missing feedback, and polish dialogs.
Once this is done. We'll start with the details, which is not a minor job and can be time consuming:

• Gestures: If you've had the opportunity to play the Prologue, you may have noticed that characters gesture according to the conversation.
  
• Making the town alive, with animations here and there.
  
• Music and sound effects.
  
• Voices (at this point, we have to be 100% sure the dialogs are final)
  
• Localization to over 8 languages.
  
• Optimization.
  
• Testing.
  
• Bug fixing.

We'd love to have an answer for this. We are working really hard to have it ready by the end of this year, but at the same time don't want to create expectations around it.
The worst-case scenario is mid-2023.

We are also working on a few surprises to share in the following updates.
We know you've been very patient, and there are no words to express how thankful we feel about that. In exchange, we hope to deliver a  game worthy of it, and let us say that we are very proud of how Slender Threads is turning out.

If you played the Prologue, you could help us by leaving a comment. Each counts, and we truly appreciate hearing your thoughts!
If you haven't played the Prologue, it's free to play, so you may want to try it.
If you feel compulsive about sharing the game with your friends, please do so!
And of course, don't forget to add it to your wishlist!

See you in the next update!

Thank you so much for the support on the game's launch, and I'm super happy to see people enjoying the game! After reading feedback, watching people play, and talking with players, I made some mostly minor changes to the game!

Overworld:
- Added the Save Sailor NPC (Reminds you to save via your menu in overworld, and dream clouds in dreams)
- Slowed Rob's stepping speed when he's in his house
- Corrected some typos

Dream Realm:
- Willpower attacks now tell you what elements they are strong against
- Made the bypass detectors in the connector more visible
- Adjusted some dialogue to make the bypass detector locations more clear
- Fixed an issue where if Poppy was the only living team member, you would be killed when
entering the men's bathroom (there were a few other instances where the same issue was
possible, fixed those as well)
- Adjusted the power of a few abilities
- Corrected some more typos

If you have any other feedback, recommendations, bug reports, suggestions, criticisms, or anything of the sort, please reach out!

- Much love, Evan <3
