Merry Christmas to all of you!
Hopefully, you're having a great time with your friends and family.
As a Christmas gift, we today announce the upcoming release of the Bermuda - Lost Survival beta version.
After one year of Early Access, we took our time to dive into your feedback, read hundreds of comments and watched a lot of youtube footage. Thank you for all the great input! During the last months, we used those insights and again put a lot of work into the project.
What will change with the beta release: Almost everything!
First of all, the game got an engine update. We also replaced the entire coding structure. The main reason for this decision was the poor performance, the game provided in some situations. With the new code, we achieved a very steady performance while being able to increase the number of objects per reef up to 5 times compared to the current alpha build.
Main features for the beta release:
- Updated game engine and code structure.
- Improved performance.
- Reworked lighting and post fx.
- A fully redesigned, much denser environment including new objects and resources.
- Fully redesigned user interface.
- Controller support for PS4, Xbox and all Xbox-similar controllers.
- Reworked equipment and tools.
- New gameplay mechanics.
- Fully reworked balancing and crafting recipes.
This update will bring the game much closer to the vision we have for it and gives us the perfect foundation for our 2019 roadmap, which will be all about content. With the beta release, we'll finally close the technical setup chapter for this project. Nevertheless, we have a lot of testing left to do for the new game version and want to make sure everything works as intended.

We'll keep you updated and provide you with a release date + more detailed info as soon as possible!
