Update - v0.01.76 is Live!

Here is the list of the notable modifications that come with the version 0.01.76!

IMPROVEMENTS:

New Territory System.
The size of the playable area has been increased, map is more than 2 times wider than it was with the previous boundaries.
The Blast Furnace has been added. Allowing you to transform iron into steel for now. (Many other alloys will come in the near future)
The Mining basics have been added. (Like for the Blast Furnace: much more to come)
The water rendering has been fully remade.
The camera's post treatments have been fully remade.
The underwater visibility has been improved.
Some video settings have been added to the option menu.
The line territory_size=[10~200] has been added to the available config and command lines of the server. The default value is set to 40. This allows the server owners to decide by them selves what they want on their servers.
RCON support - pass 1 of 2.
The lines rcon_port=0000 and rcon_password=**** have been added to the available config and command lines of the server, the RCON will be more explained in the next update.

CHANGES:

Unity update 5.3.5 (better stability)
The server will now automatically create a backup of the database.db file if this one is too old compared to the current version of the game, and a new database file will be created after this process.
FIXED: The up side down screen bug is solved.
BALANCE: The normal swimming speed has been reduced a bit.
BALANCE: The diving fins now improve the swimming speed.
BALANCE: The diving mask now improves the underwater visibility.
BALANCE: Construction is now forbidden near the oil rigs.
BALANCE: The turret supports and the ladders cannot be removed anymore using a blowtorch.
BALANCE: The turrets can now be removed from their support using the sledgehammer (only if the turret is inside a friendly territory and if it isn't used).
BALANCE: The batteries cannot be found anymore in the floating garbage.
BALANCE: The altitude limit when using an aircraft has been increased. (from 320 to 900 meters)
Many other little fixes.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

The servers have to be updated as well! ALL the servers will wipe with this update. The new map isn't 100% completed in this update, but it will be done in the next update. Remember you can follow the development and take part of it on Trello

First of all, you should keep in mind that the game is still a work in progress and so that many things are still missing before starting to see the original idea into its entirety.
If you're waiting for instant fun, maybe you should consider keeping an eye on the game and wait for a more advanced state before going any further.

In the world of Hide & Hold Out, you are one of the survivors of the cataclysm which happened near the end of the 20th century.
This cataclysm has led to a brutal elevation of the sea level all around the globe. Today, you don't really know if there is still a true "land" somewhere, but you know that this reef saved you after the disaster. Well... not only you, actually, and that's more of the problem.

You will have to find by yourself something to eat, materials and fuel to stay alive, to build yourself a home and to start building boats and weapons.
The other players can be a curse in H2o, but they can also be a blessing as working with other survivors will give you the key to both safety and power.

H2o is still far from its final form, but we really wants to give a specific importance to the interactions between the players. Giving you the means to deploy large ships to fight as a team, merchant boats to trade...
We plan to add a skill tree in the near future, so that each player in a group can choose a specific role. Such as scout, driver, gunner, or even a kind of doctor who could craft specific drugs to cure diseases and poisonings.

We want to develop this part of the game with the community, once that the classical structure of a survival game will be properly set, balanced and stable.
