Stranded Deep

LATEST EXPERIMENTAL BUILD 0.04.E2

Hi guys,

The latest experimental build (0.04.E2) is now live with a a lot of fixes for bugs found in the initial upgrade process. All the UI has also been moved over to Unity's native UI system now. We're mid-way through integrating SpeedTree as well so all the foliage visuals are WIP and a bit broken at the moment.

Stay Alive!

Notes


Pink Shaders – There may be a few pink shaders about. Feel free to post them in the bug reports section, EXCEPT for objects that are obviously meant to be glass. We haven't written a glass shader compatible with the new BRDF yet.
Shaders – A few objects are missing their proper normal and specular maps. We’re in the middle of consolidating all our shaders at the moment, so we’ll be getting to them. ALL tree and foliage shaders are not complete or plain broken. We’re working on tying these up asap.
Shadows – We’re seeing some annoying artefacts with the shadow system we use. We’re looking into it.
UI – All the UI has been moved over from our old system to UGUI. All of the UI elements are works in progress, but are functional.
