What does this mean?
Sunless Sea was made in Unity 4, which had some limitations particularly around the way it handled text. As a pretty text-heavy game, we ended up with many users finding the game unplayable due to their screen resolution. Text was tiny or fuzzy. Not ideal!
Happily, in Unity 5 we’ve been able to do a lot more with the user interface, and have fixed the fuzzy/tiny text problems.
How can I get the Unity 5 version?
Today we’ve launched an open Unity 5 beta branch that you can opt in to:
- Right click Sunless Sea in your library
- Select Properties
- Go to the Betas tab
- Select ‘Unity 5’
- Close the pop-up and Sunless Sea will update to the Unity 5 version
Note: It’s a beta, so you may experience trouble with your game if you opt in. We recommend backing up any saves you are fond of in a separate folder.
In the beta branch you’ll find that you’re able to resize the gazetteer, and the game font, independently.
Where do I send Unity 5 beta reports?
We hope you’ll have a good play with it! Let us know via email if anything seems strange: [email protected]. Please include an output log: https://www.failbettergames.com/output-log/
Thanks everyone!
Oh and PS, a reminder: Zubmariner comes out in a month. Come 11 October, you’ll be called beneath the Zee.
