639d ago

Hi everyone!

We wanted to take a moment to check in with you regarding Stranded Deep 2. We’re progressing through early development stages and enjoying the exploration and conceptualization of SD2. We’re in that amazing game development space where everything is possible, and there are many potential exciting directions we can take. We’ve been reading the forums, checking out the posts on Reddit and other social channels and it’s fantastic to see you’re excited for the game. We love reading your theories about where SD2 will take you, or what you are hoping for in the game. The support the Stranded Deep community has shown us over the years has been phenomenal. We wouldn’t be here, working on SD2, if it wasn't for you. The feedback of the SD community is important to us, we want to make sure we’re staying true to the parts of SD that made it so enjoyable for you to play and to learn what we can improve on in SD2. Our plan is, over the course of development, to check in and ask for your feedback. To start, we’ve created a short feedback form to ask you some baseline questions about your experience playing SD, what you’re looking forward to in SD2 and some questions that’ll help us as our community for SD2 grows. We’d greatly appreciate you taking the time to answer these questions via the link below and feel free to share the link with other SD fans too! https://forms.gle/TMYNM7cFbazNruM78 Please note:

We are not collecting email addresses and the form is submitted anonymously. However, there is an option to include a forum name or content creator name we may know you by in the last question, if you so wish.
As we're using Google Forms at this time, and in an effort to ensure a good pool of data (no spam bots), a Google account is required to complete the form.
The form will be open for submissions for just over 2 weeks, closing on the 18th of November. This is to allow us time to compile and review all submissions before the end of the year.

Thank you! ------------------------------- For the Original SD2 Announcement / Press Release, please see: https://www.northbeachgames.com/articles/nbg-prague-and-sd-2-press-release-

Stranded Deep 1.0 Release!

sam | Beam Team Gamessteam_community_announcements

1452d ago

Hi everyone,

Today marks the 1.0 release of Stranded Deep!

The release of 1.0 represents that Stranded Deep is feature complete. We’ve achieved our high-level goals and are now focusing on stability and quality-of-life fixes. We have some remaining multiplayer issues to fix and we have a dedicated team working on fixing these. We’d like to take a moment to thank everyone who has supported us. The game and community has grown far beyond anything we ever could have expected. Ben and I originally started this project out of our back rooms. We had no previous industry experience, we were just two kids with a cool idea who wanted to make their first game. I remember the Steam Greenlight concept with the little raft on the ocean… we never could have guessed the community would get behind it the way they did. It has grown beyond our wildest dreams. We’ve met some amazing people along the way. We’ve made friends with the teams at Funlabs and Abstraction who worked hard to bring the game to consoles. It’s also been a great experience working with the big first parties and the people behind them. Everyone at Steam, Epic, Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo has been great to work with and they’ve given us opportunities that we never would have dreamed of. And of course, our publishing brothers at North Beach Games who have been with us since 2015 and supported us every step of the way. All of you have helped grow Stranded Deep into something bigger than the two of us ever could have expected. You’ve enabled us to secure our future as a studio and we’re looking forward to taking everything we’ve learned from this experience and using it to grow bigger and better. We’re forever grateful. Thanks so much again to everyone who has been a part of the journey. Stay Alive! — Beam Team

We’ve really enjoyed watching the new content from creators and the community feedback on the forums has been invaluable. The big focus for this patch has been fixing connectivity issues and issues reported by the community. Several important issues have been fixed which will significantly reduce the number of desyncs and disconnects and improve overall stability. We have a few known issues, mostly related to the ‘join-in-progress' feature. If you experience desyncs, we recommend quitting and re-joining in the lobby for now while we work to fix the remaining issues. – Beam Team

Fixed '-NL' text showing after 'Enter Code' in the ‘Join Game’ sub-menu. - Fixed 'Creative' difficulty mode failing to apply for client. - Fixed client saves failing to load in 'Creative' mode on re-joining sessions. - Fixed host and client able to use single set of resources to craft the same item. - Fixed client’s dropped items being duplicated into the backpack on re-joining the same session again after exiting. - Fixed host unable to access ‘Starting Crate’ or ‘Wooden Crate’ when client disconnects from the network while accessing the crate. - Fixed ‘Not enough room in Inventory!’ notification and audio sfx when highlighting an item when backpack storage is full. -

Known Issues

- The order of items stored in storage can be replicated out-of-sync when the client joins an in-progress game. For e.g.: it’s possible for the client to see a Rock in their inventory and drop it, but a different item will be seen and dropped for the host. If you experience this issue, we recommend quitting and re-joining in the lobby for now. - Depending on the regional server load, sometimes joining an older session by code will not work.

Update 0.80.00! New Item Piles and Storage Improvements!

sam | Beam Team Gamessteam_community_announcements

1902d ago

Hi everyone,

A new stable build (0.80.00) is live!

The 0.80.00 update transitions our recent work on the experimental branch to the stable branch, including the new Piles, Inventory improvements, quality-of-life changes, bug fixes and polish. This build features some changes and improvements to the Inventory mechanics. We recognized that the idea of your hands acting as an extra ‘slot’ for your held item and not being visible in the inventory was confusing. This mechanic also made it difficult to transfer held items into storage. Now the item you’re holding is displayed in the first inventory slot. The slot to the left of this is reserved for other inventory actions, like empty hands, or navigating between storage. This build also adds the ability to craft Piles of items. This is part of our recent work to encourage organization and discourage players from gathering large piles of items that negatively affect performance. We know there is a reward and feeling of satisfaction from accruing large piles of stuff, so we don’t want to take that away! ‘Piles’ are an efficient way to show off your hoarding skills! See the patch notes for more info on how to use the new piles feature. There’s also a very important fix for a frustrating bug where objects left on the Aircraft carrier would fall though when loading the zone. Have fun :) Stay Alive! :: Beam Team --

0.76.00-0.80.00 Stable Change Log

New Features

- Added new craftable item Piles! You can create a pile by looking at or holding an item that you have 2 or more of in the surrounding area. Use the Quick Craft menu to craft a ‘pile’ of that item, which is shown by a new pile icon in blue. Piles are free to create and store 1 type of crafting item. So far, the supported items are: Sticks, Rocks, Palm Fonds, Lashings, Fibrous Leaves, Clay and Logs. The capacity for most items is 50x, but can vary depending on the item. You withdraw and deposit items just like a storage container. The first item stored assigns the type of pile it is. You can remove all items and re-assign a pile at any time. When you withdraw all items from a pile, it will simply disappear. Items stored in a pile are available and can be used when crafting without having to manually remove them from a pile. Note: Pile materials will be used last. We’re still fine-tuning the mechanics; the pile’s physics collider currently adapts to the quantity and size of items, which is nice for player collisions, but there may be some issues there if players stack other objects on top of piles… For those interested in the tech side of things, the benefits of the new piles are: - Faster zone loading: 1 item to load, instead of 50x individual objects. - Batched rendering for 50x items. Rendering multiple items was batched before, but the new method is even more efficient. - Less physics overhead! Piles are a static object with 1 collider, instead of 50x physics bodies and colliders. - Less overhead from individual Unity GameObjects. GameObjects and Components in Unity incur a small amount of overhead to validate state and run callbacks on every instance. This all adds up, so is good to mitigate.

Changes

- Increased Storage Container slots from 3  5. - Increased Inventory slots from 10  12. - Changed Inventory to display the item the player is holding in slot 1. - Changed Inventory to pop an item that matches the sub-type if it can’t find a matching item of the full type, ie: a player will switch to holding a Crude spear after using all their Refined Spears. - Changed Inventory drop action from secondary ‘click’ to ‘short press’ (only in menus) - Changed Wood Crates to be craftable. - Changed Wood Crates to refund materials. - Changed ‘Play’ button to enter New Game menu if no save game available to continue. - Changed Boat Motor to function as a rudder when out of fuel. - Changed Medical Consumables to refund Coconut Flasks after consuming. - Increased Meat inventory capacity from 4 to 8. - Increased Fish inventory capacity from 4 to 8. - Increased Fruit inventory capacity from 4 to 8. - Added crafting placing controls on screen when placing. - Improved Pinned Crafting Combo display. Changed pinned crafting combo UI to display craftsmanship skill level required to avoid confusion when a player has all materials, but skill is not high enough. - Improved Watch feedback when displaying player Skills; Removed clamped values on skill bars making it easier to monitor skill progress.

Bug Fixes

- Fixed objects on the extremities of large islands not being saved. - Fixed physics objects falling through Aircraft Carrier when loading, ie: Gyro parts and supplies. - Fixed Storage pointer drawing behind slot icons. - Fixed Tutorial not resuming when re-loading. Please note this fix is not retro-active as old save files will be missing the completed objective data. - Fixed Projectiles (spears, etc) drifting out of player hands when held. - Fixed objects attached to Spears not saving if player holding spear. - Fixed being able to place Craftable objects inside terrain rocks. The crafting ghost will snap to terrain rocks for visualization but placing is not allowed.

This is part of our recent work to encourage organization and discourage players from gathering large piles of items that negatively affect performance. We know there is a reward and feeling of satisfaction from accruing large piles of stuff, so we don’t want to take that away! ‘Piles’ are an efficient way to show off your hoarding skills! See the patch notes below for more details on how to craft and use the new piles... Have fun :) Stay Alive! Beam Team --

New Features

Bug Fixes

- Fixed glitchy Foundation placing on terrain, introduced by 0.78.02 - Fixed font missing in dev console spawner menu. - Fixed font missing on dev FPS widget.

0.78.02 Experimental Update.

Hey everyone,

A new experimental build (0.78.02) is now live with some more quality-of-life fixes, Inventory changes and an important fix for the Aircraft Carrier.

This build features some changes and improvements to the Inventory mechanics. We recognized that the idea of your hands acting as an extra ‘slot’ for your held item and not being visible in the inventory was confusing. This mechanic also made it difficult to transfer held items into storage. Now the item you’re holding is displayed in the first inventory slot. The slot to the left of this is reserved for other inventory actions, like empty hands, or navigating between storage. We’ll be tweaking storage mechanics as we look at ways to encourage players to use storage more often. This is our preferred way to deal with players gathering large piles of items--which tanks performance. We don’t have any restrictions on the number of items you can gather and craft so it’s quite easy to do. So, we’ll be improving and making it more convenient for players to use and navigate storage. We’ll also be adding in a method to destroy smaller items that you decide are unneeded, which currently hang around wasting resources.. We found the cause of a frustrating bug where players were losing items left inside the Aircraft carrier. We’ve also upgraded to Unity 2019 which went smoothly but let us know if you see anything strange! Have fun :) Stay Alive! Beam Team --

Changes

Bug Fixes

- Fixed physics objects falling through Aircraft Carrier when loading, ie: Gyro parts and supplies. - Fixed Bird Snare not snapping to terrain correctly. - Fixed Storage pointer drawing behind slot icons.

Dev Notes

- Upgraded to Unity 2019.4.20f1. - Reverted to Steam SDK 1.48.

Hey everyone,

A new stable build (0.76.00) is live!

The 0.76.00 update transitions our recent work on the experimental branch to the stable branch, including the new Save Slots, bug fixes, and more polish. Check out the patch notes below if you haven’t been playing on the experimental branch. One of the bigger behind-the-scenes changes is that save game data has moved, from: %USERPROFILE%\\Documents\\Stranded Deep\\ to: %USERPROFILE%\\AppData\\LocalLow\\Beam Team Games\\Stranded Deep\\ The game will notify you and attempt to import your existing save data. If you experience any issues during the migration process, please see the guide for more information: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2265407307 As always, the previous stable branch is available in the branches list if you need to roll-back for any reason. We hope everyone has a safe and happy holidays! Stay Alive! :: Beam Team --

0.72.00 Experimental Update. New Big World!

spraycanmansam | Beam Team Gamessteam_community_announcements

2208d ago

Hey everyone,

A new experimental build (0.72.00) is up!

This build features the new Big World! The new bigger world is twice the size of the previous world with more randomly positioned islands (no more fixed 5x5 grid). The game will upgrade your existing world and save data to the new big world format. The upgrade is not destructive so you can roll back to the previous release and continue playing. The upgrade will backup your old save file and add a “_LEGACY” suffix to its file name. If you want to roll back you will just need to delete the newer upgraded save file and then remove the legacy suffix from your old save file. If something does go wrong during the upgrade process, please post a bug report so we can diagnose and fix the problem. As always, we hope everyone is safe and healthy. It’s nice to think that Stranded Deep might provide a fun distraction for people during all of this craziness. Have fun :) Stay Alive! :: Beam Team --

0.71.00 Experimental Update. New End Game!

spraycanmansam | Beam Team Gamessteam_community_announcements

2270d ago

Hey everyone,

A new experimental build (0.71.00) is now live!

This build features the new End Game Scenario! After much thought, we have decided to release the end game scenario on the experimental branch in its current state. Please be aware that our original plan was to release the end-game scenario after external QA testing as part of our final updates. We wanted to release it that way, instead of our usual experimental-->stable release cycle, as we felt it didn't make sense for such a high-impact scenario that needs to work right 1st time and isn't something that gets played over and over... However, there have been some strong opinions on the forum from some players who disagree and want it now. Ultimately, we’ve decided that the choice should be yours… We’re still in the shake-down process, tidying the loose ends and polishing the final sequence. Also note that there is a chance a future update could break any progress made towards completing the end-game. But disclaimers aside -- we’re excited to share it with you as we think it’s a pretty cool scenario that ties everything together. We’re also excited to hear what you think about the end sequence and any theories! The new end game zone will be generated when creating a new world in the Cartographer. If you have an existing world and save file and don't want to create a new world, we've added the end game map as workshop content here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2096887376 Subscribe to this content and it will appear in your Community Maps in the Cartographer. Drag it into your existing world like any other map :) Have fun! Stay Alive! :: Beam Team --
