This should be our final beta update before full release, this July 25th!

Feature Changes
+ Added modification to computer board.
- Removed door keypads due to them causing confusion in playtesting.

Dear captains,

We are excited to announce that the 2024.1 beta version of UBOAT has been updated with support for Steam Achievements. This new feature adds an extra layer of challenge and recognition for your accomplishments in the depths of the Atlantic.

Achievements in the beta version are not permanent and they will be reset once the full release of the game is shipped.


We are introducing them now to gather your feedback and ensure that they are all achievable in a correct manner.

Please note, that if you use console commands, no more achievements will be awarded during that campaign.

We look forward to your feedback on this feature!

Yours,
DWS

• Fixed an edge case where waypoints would be blocked by statue rubble inside a push block, or monsters with a push block on top of them
  
• Fixed multipush blocks being able to overlap toggle switches when pushed onto them from above
  
• Fixed multipush blocks being unable to be pushed onto a push block overlapped with statue rubble
  
• Fixed an edge case where an inability to push a push block would short circuit an attack and not kill an entity it otherwise should have
  
• Fixed incorrect turn processing order that resulted in an inability to kill some monsters while waypoint traveling in the current room
  
• Fixed an edge case where a slug could leave a poison trail at an incorrect position
  
• Fixed an edge case where a slug could die without removing poison under it
  
• Fixed same-room waypoints losing their numbering when reloading the game

• Fixed inconsistent behavior when a room is cleared on turn 0 by erasing a monster on room entry
  
• Quitting the game while in single room mode now saves game progress as if single room mode had ended, instead of saving it as if you had restored to that room without entering single room mode

Mechanic changes:

• Pacification now prevents walking to an adjacent room where an enemy would have been erased on room entry

Editor:

• Pressure plates and sacrifice altars can now coexist with cracked walls and tall grass/cattails/curtains

• Keys can now coexist with tall grass/cattails/curtains
  
• Pillars and walls can no longer coexist
  
• Newly-imported worlds are no longer set as the current editing world
  
• Attempting to edit a world now checks if the world was created by the current player, and offers to create an editable copy if not. If a player profile matching the world's owner exists, the option is also given to switch to it.
  
• Creating a new world now immediately opens the editor

Quality of Life:

• When inspected, monsters and push blocks now have unique alphabetical identifiers that remain consistent as the room state changes
  
• When inspected, statue rubble and stepping stones that were created as part of the solving process now name the entity that created them
  
• When holding undo or redo for more than 10 actions, repeat speed now doubles
  
• Added "Toggle Grid" key binding (default G)
  
• Ladders with no corresponding room on the other end now show a visual effect and play a sound when attempting to use one instead of silently doing nothing
  
• When previewing a room, the right mouse button now always inspects tiles instead of canceling room preview, even with the "Mouse click exits room preview" advanced setting active
  
• Added wording to clarify what happens to player progress when overwriting a world on import

Graphical:

• Highlighted mechanisms now draw wiring lines showing their connections more clearly
  
• Added optional tile mouseover crosshair effect, which can be enabled in advanced settings
  
• Bomb bugs now show a bump animation to make a clearer distinction between movement blockage and line of sight blockage
  
• Monsters that wouldn't normally show a bump animation now do so in situations where they perform an attack without moving
  
• Rough stone now casts shadows like other walls
  
• Fixed some sprite layering inconsistencies
  
• Fixed incorrect auto-tiling of hot coals diagonally separated by water
  
• Fixed overlapping text on world import replacement confirmation menu screen
  
• Fixed room-edge sprite layering inconsistencies during room transitions
  
• Font kerning tweaks

Today was a rough day, apparently the server broke down on the provider side, they fully replaced it and everything should be back to normal. Hopefully now there won't be any crash anymore.

Multiplayer test continue until the 20 bosses are dead and season reward are claimed (only 5000 soul, to try if it work). We will redo a test with just a few bosses until we are sure the server doesn't have random crashes anymore.

Sorry for the trouble and for anyone who weren't seeing their save for a while, there should be the offline save but it's not always as reliable as the online one, we also do daily backup which ensure that even if something critical happen, your data are safe and won't be weeks/months of progress loss.

On a side note, more W9 are coming next week with more upgrade, changes & boost to a few existing one, and right after we are starting the new feature, A#20 for anyone wondering.

Thank you for the support and your patience 🙂 greatly appreciated ❤️ crossing finger now that everything is good.
