Hey everyone.

Here is the changelog for today's patch:

1. Fixed issue where players ship mesh would stay in the world after getting killed. This was happening in dogfight game modes.
   
2. Fixed issue with secondary weapons getting turned off when docking undocking from stations. Now secondary weapons will be saved upon docking undocking so players don't need to turn them on again.
   
3. Fixed a crash that was happening for players that are playing in Chinese, Korean, Polish, and Russian languages.
   
4. Fixed a rare bug where players could end up in the void without any levels around them.
   
5. Fixed an issue with Ability Unlocks. The Charge Ability should now properly be unlockable to all players.
   
6. Fixed a bug where in some cases, if a player scrolls the left weapons using the “1” hotkey, the weapon would disappear.
   
7. Fixed issue where players were able to go through meshes around the force fields in the tutorial
   
8. Nerfed down the 3 enemy ships in the tutorial so now they should not be dangerous.
   
9. Fixed a Save-Load issue with destroyable Crates that can only drop one type of item and didn’t work after loading a game.
   
10. Fixed issue with Team Deathmatch - Relevant Backers on scoreboard should now properly be marked as VIP.
    
11. Made some minor changes with AI stats in dogfight game modes.
    
12. Fixed visual issue where engine grills were visible floating outside the station, while players were docked in.
    
13. Fixed Crash which was happening when a client is in the deploy station and the host loads the last saved game.
    
14. Fixed issue with the salvaging screen closing while salvage action is in process
    
15. Fixed issue where clients were able to change quest states, only the host is permitted to do that.
    
16. Fixed issue with salvage monitor staying up on game load with old salvage information.
    
17. Fixed issue where players were not able to salvage on some occasions. Moving away and moving back from salvages would fix this issue.
    
18. Fixed an issue where Saving and Loading would reduce the Health of Infected Sharks.
    
19. Fixed issue with stats display in Multiplayer matches
    
20. Improved readability of stats UI in Multiplayer
    
21. Fixed a bug where the UI would display certain commodities as required for crafting, whilst they were not needed.
    
22. Improved UI consistency for Mechanic Loadout UI
    
23. Fixed issue where the Dialogue subtitles getting frozen on screen in some cases
    
24. Fixed issue where the conversation's subtitle would disappear if the quick-menu is opened and closed while dialogue is playing
    
25. Improved a variety of smaller UI elements, including colors, text, and localization issues.

Note: Hints for double tap dodging vertically, and warning message for trying to remap ‘’interact’’ action to mouse keys are not localized yet so it will appear in English for all languages. This will be addressed asap.

Light everyone!

The first Multiplayer Event for Aquanox Deep Descent is over. Our heartfelt thanks for joining in and playing with us!

We had a lot of fun with you, but more importantly, we got valuable feedback from the community that will allow us to further improve the game. Also, keep your eyes open for our updates as there is more to come!

LIGHT EVERYONE!

We’re back with another developer blog, in which we will talk more about how we are building our worlds. This time around, we are focusing more on environments that are one of the biggest additions to the world of Aqua: the cave systems.

In the world of Aqua there are many different places to explore: big open areas, canyons, intricate formations of cliffs mixed with flora, etc. and then there are the caves. The underwater caves in a game like Aquanox are very different than those on the surface since we have the freedom of moving in many directions. This poses a variety of challenges for us as the developers but also gives us the possibility of creating cave systems that range from a single-room “hole” to multi-layer branching cave systems (at the team, we jokingly call this “caveception”) where the player could spend hours exploring.

WE DIVIDE CAVES INTO TWO MAJOR CATEGORIES:

The ones inhabited (or once inhabited) by humans in some way. Sometimes these caves house entire colonies, stations, and outposts, while in other cases they are merely digging sites, mining operations or transport routes of various kinds: pipelines, transport routes for goods, militarized defense paths and so on. These caves are much easier to navigate as they often have human-made markers, beacons and artificial lighting built by the inhabitants, making the exploration and passage within the area simpler.

The other category would be everything never inhabited by humans before. Often, these caves are dangerous, full of strange twists and turns and can be very confusing for the novice aquanaut. There have been tales of beginners going into such caves to try and find riches in their depths, never to return to the water lock. For an experienced aquanaut, however, an unexplored cave can mark the dawn of a better life as untapped resources are worth a lot of credits on the market.

Thanks for your continued interest in Aquanox Deep Descent!

Your Aquanox Team
