  Surface Log 0.60 — the one where the enemy finally fights back 🌊

  The dry dock hasn't slept since the last log, and 0.60 is easily the most ambitious thing we've dragged out of it: a whole new combat system, three-story missions full of people who will die on your watch, a companion who narrates the disaster in real time, and — at last — a submarine that actually sounds like one. It's a lot. The ocean isn't going anywhere. Neither are we. Dive in. ⭐ The big one: Combat Cards Combat now has a full card mechanic layered on top. Yes, that means the enemy gets a hand too. Sorry. - Playable combat cards you can fire off mid-battle to tip the odds — damage, control, defense, and assorted special effects. - The enemy plays cards now. The AI has its own hand, chains plays on purpose, and reacts and counters based on what you do. It has been practicing. - Two new chests — the Abyssal Chest and the Void Chest — each with its own opening animation and loot. - Upgrade and evolve your cards: shave cooldowns or unlock extra effects to build the deck you actually want. - Smart scaling: enemy cards adjust to sector and difficulty, so the fight keeps pace with you whether you like it or not. - A new Combat Cards section in the tutorial — for learning all this somewhere that isn't the deep end. 🗺️ New Character Missions Three new story arcs, each with its own characters, art, and decisions you'll quietly regret: - Elias & Aelita: a story that threads through your whole run, with an ending that hinges on your choices. - Draxa: you find an inert android and decide whether to rebuild it, piece by piece — and what you're willing to do to finish the job. - Nadia, the Mother of Miasma: unlocks a new creature and a unique, evolving biological weapon. Nothing here is what it seems, and that's the generous reading. - Security cameras in story missions: now you can watch what's happening on the other side of the hull. For better or worse. 🤖 Cortano, your onboard assistant The old console grew a personality and a name. Cortano now rides along for the entire r...

  Patch Notes — v0.052

  Hey Commanders! It's been an intense few weeks at the dock, and we're bringing you one of the biggest updates yet: new missions, crew members with way more personality, snappier combat, and a lot more stability. Here's the full rundown! New Special Missions - "The Lost Daughter": a new mission that spans several sectors, with moral choices that shape the ending. What you decide on board matters. - "The Lost Key": a second mission with its own narrative arc and ethical dilemmas. - When a key character falls in combat, you'll now see a proper mission closure before the loot drops — no more stacked windows or confusion. Faster, More Direct Combat - Quick Fire: now you can click directly on an enemy room to aim and shoot in a single step. No more extra steps for every salvo. - Right-click hold weapon menu: pick your weapon and release the button to fire. Super smooth for improvising tactics on the fly. - Fire again at the same target with a single key, no need to re-aim. - Optional auto-pause: a new setting to disable the pause that appears when combat starts. You set the pace. Your Crew, More Alive Than Ever - When you drag crew members, they now hang from the cursor naturally, as if you were leading them by the hand. - Visible states: your crew now clearly shows when they're sleeping, stunned, or down. Same goes for the enemy crew. - Melee combat animations for humans, elves, pirates, and sirens. - New animations for sirens: walking and repairing with their own species' movements. - Specific shooting poses for humans and elves when using weapons. - Hover over crew members and weapons to see all their info instantly, no need to open panels. - Rearrange your team before setting sail straight from the submarine selection screen. Revamped Interface - Redesigned Victory and Defeat screens: now with headlines that shift based on how the battle went. - Redesigned Upgrade screen to match the shop's style, with smoother scrolling and color-coded descriptions to tell each upgra...
