Demo Updated
Dear subROVers,
We've updated the demo to v0.5.3, fixing an issue that reset the discovered areas of the maps when leaving the game, and making the two main dives of the demo available from the onset.
Up until now, going through the certification course was mandatory prior to going into full dives. This was meant as a way to minimize frustration by teaching the controls gradually, but we've seen people equally frustrated because the tutorials are, after all, a bit dry. Being able to fiddle with unrestricted controls will hopefully make new players want to learn on their own and take the certification course in a positive spirit. Hopefully 😂
NOTE: if you update the demo from the previous version, these dives won't unlock by default -you can either finish the certification like before, or reset the game (which also resets your profile).
The other change is most significant to people who invest time scanning the maps, as the updated areas are now kept between plays. We're amazed that some of you have scanned whole maps without this feature present -thank you for your commitment!
Moving forward, we're now working on creature behaviors -you can expect updates on this front very soon.
Happy ROVing! 😃⚓
