PATCH 1.0.0.2

Hi all, this patch implements some feedback and wishes from the community, as well as some further improvements.

1.0.0.2 Qualitiy-Of-Dive improvements:
Technical stuff:

- More FPS for everybody. Mainly through light/shadow, collision and remesh work, we now have a much better overall performance. So the only thing that should dive now is the sub and not your FPS. I also did some compatibility work, which leads to "recombining" the default and performance edition into one from now on. (you can still access the older versio via the beta-branch if you want).

- Addressed a bug where a crew reported they couldn't activate the target-collection. This is now taken care of with a backup mechanic that should prevent that from happening entirely.


Gameplay stuff:
For this patch I addressed the accessibility for new players and little tweaks here and there:

- Added a main menu. This alone should make it more obvious that this game has a tutorial area. It also features some tips if you feel like staying in the main menu a little longer. It also features some graphic settings, which changes you can see directly in the background like detail, light and stuff.

- Added a little screen message when you reached your cofffee treshould.

- Added a little screen message that shows when you try to swap cups but haven't unlocked any so far.

- Added a little message on the first cofffee-machine to welcome new divers with useful info.

- Added and adjusted some tutorial texts in the tutorial area.

- Added "Tap-Cofffee". You can find it in the WC room.

- Optimized collision inside the submarine so it's now harder to get stuck within it (should be almost impossible but you never know).

That's it for this patch. If you would like to dive deeper into development with ideas or wishes, or maybe just a casual convo, feel free to join my small discord and let's have a chat there. It can be found linked on my steam-developer page.


Next patch:
Planning to launch this within the next 4 weeks, it will implement new sounds, and even some tracks. I am also working on some hit-events where you actually have something to do when you hit the cave wall. As you may noticed, I removed the sparking effect when the sub hits the wall, but they will return soon. In addition to that I would like to implement a submarine-color customization. So yeah, let me know what you think here in the comments or on discord. Always happy to get in touch.

Thx to everyone for diving and have a nice day, Dev
