Hi subROVers! 😊
Jose writing -0.7.50 is up in the beta branch. Let's take a quick look:
New Creatures
Here's the Giant Isopod, the great pillbug of the deep ocean,

And here's the Deepsea Lizardfish, Bathysaurus Ferox, with a slender body and many rows of fine, sharp, needle-like teeth.

New Wreck
I've added an I-201 class submarine to the Hawaii dive -just a small teaser here:

Note - I decided to not reset Hawaii's map, which might make it harder to find if you have already mapped the sub's location. If you have trouble finding it, just drop me a line.
Support for Logitech Extreme 3D Pro
A kind player left a positive review even though I know for a fact they bought the game specifically thinking on playing with this joystick, and it didn't work. I owed to them to at least try supporting the joystick asap, and I'm very happy that it's now working.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed/Dives: Several creatures were being placed twice on the seafloor, which sometimes caused issues that would prevent them from behaving as expected.
Notes
- IMPORTANT: Just reiterating from the previous versions - It looks like there's been cases when, after updating the game to 0.7.40 and beyond, it starts with a low or incorrect screen resolution -or rather, it detects more options than before, and applies the "index" of the one it had previously selected, which is now wrong. That's my best bet at the moment and I don't know if it's worth forcing a "re-choosing". I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know if it's happened to you, and your thoughts on it.
What's Next?
A serious family emergency in late May has demanded most of my time since, which is forcing me to have to move things around in the schedule. I expect to have this version in Beta for a few short days -a week at most-, then roll it to the default branch (everyone) as a major update, which it really is. Then I'll prioritize the Titanic. The first iteration of the model is finished, and I'll be working on the dive next.
That's all for now -have fun exploring!
PS. I always appreciate reviews, good or bad, but the latest few reviews have meant the world to me, moreso if they came from people playing the regular, non-beta version, which is now quite far behind. Thank you. Thank you so much.
