Having their primary directive overridden to 'Protect the Squirrels', infected TPAI have been actively invading all mission zones,

The AI virus payload appears to be delivered directly to the victim's Trans-posic core through the wearing of specially prepared hats...

[AI assisted promo art only]


The corrupting vibes create false memories, effectively adding in additional training data with biased images, stories and experiences involving loving kind and benevolent squirrels... this has had noticeably deranging effects.

Given a gun, and a new directive, it appears TPAI will fight to the death once again given 'a cause'...

Other factions are rumored to be developing their own AI viruses...

I'm working to drop the compass for objective direction and move to in hud overlay icons which can be enabled / disabled in settings. In the end the compass should just be a compass... plus it will solve some of my compass multiplayer replication issues as well - lol - but mainly I don't think players should have to look to the top of the screen - FOV markers will be patched in ASAP.

I've tweaked these maps and will leave them on while I update them further. These are asset maps but I'm making them 'squirrel friendly'. Now with shooter TPAI enemies I'm learning what balance / gameplay possibilities / map styles / environments work well together...

• MAP & MISSIONS: Old West map + missions active
  
• MAP & MISSION: The Derelict map + mission active

Unfortunately multiplayer is still 'an ongoing nightmare' especially with all the new systems added in the last 12 months - but I am committed to fixing it before I am committed...!


"I used to be a soldier like you... until I took a squirrel to the brain..."

The game is now certifiable... and still I have so much more crazy to add - lol.

GLHF and I'll be seeing ya top-side!

(Updates: I may be updating the experimental build off and on as I approach the main build, but the patch notes will not be reflected until the main build is complete. Just keep an eye on the version if you are playing on the experimental build.)

This is a special build because there are a lot of improvements being made and there is still more work to be done on the main build. Normally I do not make patch notes or announce the experimental builds because they have until now been used primarily for testing purposes and short lived prior to the update of the main build. However, I have lots more to do for the current build so this experimental build will stay out there separate from the main build for at least several more weeks while I continue preparing the next update. It is unlikely I will update this experimental build again prior to the next update being ready. I have not written guides for some of the new stuff yet. The plan is to continue work on the main build and then do some multiplayer testing.

Since this work in progress / experimental build is stable enough to play I will put it out there for anyone interested in the latest and greatest of updates. The main build may be more stable so I would recommend playing that unless you have a specific interest in testing out the build before it is done. If you do play on the experimental branch, make sure you use a separate save file just in case!

Steel cables work similar to ropes but instead create a fixed connection allowing for greater stability between secured objects. The primary purpose of this is to secure helicopters to boat helipads when moving fast, or vessels to other vessels in general when they are resting on top of one another.

Steel cables can only be used to secure controllable objects to platforms or the map.

Things that work include Nautikins on boats, helicopters on boats, Nautikins on jets, jets on boats, boats to map, Nautikins to map, etc.

Things that do not work primarly due to the limitations of the engine and multiplayer in general are, securing 2 boats together that could be controlled by different players or securing 2 Nautikins together. Crates do not work because they can already be secured. If either of these objects is not the current platform of the other, the connection will be disabled because it won't synchronize in multiplayer properly and spaghettification will likely occur. This may work in the future if control can be delegated to a single location when steel cables are attached, but the fixed connection and multiplayer synchronization have contradictory goals atm. Having control of your vessel delayed to the server for steel cables is likely undesirable. This behavior could be enabled for single player but is disabled currently to maintain consistancy between singleplayer and multiplayer.

Steel cables cannot be attached to cranes or subvessels.

The build area obstruction detection on launch is particularly useful for placing vessels on top of other vessel at launch (this is more of a side effect, but it is neat for putting jets on boats).

This build is a little bit larger and took a while longer than normal due to some complex changes to multiplayer that would have otherwise made the game unstable without a longer testing period. There was also a lot of refactoring ahead of new content that otherwise did not warrant it's own build.

Testing various fixes for obscure problems with the ocean shader, it's not immediately apparent that these will be successful so they may reoccur in changes from build to build.

Been chasing a silent crash. Player logging was enabled in an earlier build to see if Unity logged anything to the default Player.log or this somehow prevented the crash (it did not so its off again). Its possible this crash was caused by bad shark behavior but only time will tell.

Because the format of crane rotation has changed, loaded cranes will default to not rotated until saved again. This prevents bad collisions during initialization.

Pushing Nautikins controlled by other players is a little janky movement wise due to the requirements of network position syncing.

This is a small playthrough of the demo patch coming very soon!
