Nautikin Adventures (tuxdb.com)

Summary

This update contains many new parts and the overhaul of the submarine features. There are some new mechanics available in build mode and many of the existing features have been more polished (SFX, VFX). This update also contains various bug fixes. This build marks the end of a large chunk of planned work, which is exciting because it included a lot of content and that I will get to start work on more destruction stuff next (explosions). There is one more large chunk of work before version 0.8 (which indicates some solid progress towards completion)

Notes

Previously small amounts of damage on large durable vessels (steel) would register as 99.56% (for example) and this would display as 100 on the UI because it does not decern decimals for the sake of real-estate and rounds up. In cases like this the UI will now display 99 until the repairs are complete and hull integrity reaches 100%. The only downside to this is that small dings on very large vessels (which may take a bit to repair) will have little indication of progress due to being such a small fraction of the vessels hull integrity, but will now be noticeable on the UI. This may have been previously detected visually and repaired even though the UI said "100". Submarine engine propellers will now damage the Nautikins due to updated colliders that erroneously prevented damage. There are now over 100 parts in the game. Change notes listed as "Bow thruster" also apply to stern thrusters Next / Prev position does not have controller bindings. Smoke emitters do not have controller bindings. New build keys do not have controller support. New build adjustments keys support scale, stretch, and move. They do not support rotation or pivot (Backlog item) Saving a vessel will now save 2 preview files. The first one is for in game previews which are small for performance reasons and because the preview is small. The larger images will be used in case the vessel is uploaded to the Steam workshop later in order to produce a higher quality default preview image without having to manually edit the preview. If you have a workshop item with a low res preview you can save the vessel again and the high res preview will be used for the next update of the workshop item. I will upload the submarines from the video to the workshop. Guides will be updated soon.

Nautikins

The Nautikins have evolved from a species similar to dolphins to inherit the planet after untold eons. Masters of boat building they have set out to dominate the seas with exploration and shipping routes.

Buoyancy physics
Plane building
Helicopter building
Airfoils / Aero drag
Multiplayer
Vessel building system
Dynamic weather
Dynamic ocean simulation (waves)
Underwater simulation
Many islands to explore
Inventory system
Vessel damage system
Trade routes and shipping

Building

There is an elaborate vessel building interface that allows you to build sea or air vessels in an open world drydock or runway respectively.

Building vessels can be complicated, so check out some of the community guides

Exploration

A massive open world / ocean map filled with islands awaits you! Be warned though! If you go to far out to sea (currently ~50km), the sea monsters may think you are lunch.

Multiplayer

Multiplayer supports every feature that is supported in single player. You can build boats and deploy them and your friends will see them and be able to crew or captain them. Some functionality may be authorized only by the owner of the server depending on the effect.

Chat

The game includes a very basic low profile text based chat to allow for communication during multiplayer. It is intended primarily as a quick message relay and to aid players in connecting on Discord or Steam chat.

Weather

Physical weather systems (Rain, Storms, Fog, Wind, etc.) move around the map and can be monitored for your vessels safety on a journey. The further away from the protection of the islands the more intense the affect the weather will have on your vessel and the ocean waves around you. Be prepared for severe weather such as "tidal" force waves and whirlpools.
