- Patch Notes 0.1.4: Controller & Hotkey Binding - 22 March 2026
Welcome to Spring Commanders!Thank you for sticking with us. In this update we have tackled controller support and hotkey binding (Controller and Mouse and keyboard). This will hopefully tackle some of the issues people have faced when having other types of controllers plugged in. However some may cause some unforeseen issues. This was quite a complex update to get done. But it was required to move forward with other tasks cleanly. There have been a few changes to various buttons and default layouts. So please take a look at the controller options either in the main menu Settings>Controls or in the in game Settings>Controls. We will be updating this further (related mostly to UI updates for controller) This will happen during the Visual Overhaul: 2 update planned. What's Next? We have also been working on the next major update. Which will be very transformative to the entire game. Final…

- Patch Notes 0.1.0: Torpedo System Update Part 3: Simple TDC - 28 August 2025
Hello once again! We are here with the final major update for the TDC simplified system. It may take some getting used to. But this is now a good solid foundation for us to move onto the enemy AI behaviours. Which is in our scopes next! Simplified TDC: Now, this is not the real thing. Remember this is lite sim. This is just a step up from the ‘homing missile’ style that we had before (Don’t worry that is still in easy mode). In order to use the new system, you must gather the three vital pieces of data required for the TDC to make calculations.. This is for predicted intercept points between the torpedo and the target. The mechanic works with the same TBT (target bearing transmitter) or the periscope like before. But now you will see each data part individually. You can now also see this data on the combat map. Which is also used to create a torpedo spread along the intercept line. This…

Hello Captains! We have been working hard on the current update that includes our Visual Overhaul: Part 1. This is a total rework to the lighting, materials/shaders and weather system (Which will be expanded on more and more). As well as the final major updates to the UI menus and panels. There are still a few odds and ends to clear up. But these parts will now come in smaller frequent patches moving forward.

This was a very large task that has taken a lot of thought and processing to get to fit to the game which we hope enables greater accessibility once it's all complete! This will be coming in the next larger update. Lastly we have worked on stabilizing the current content (bugs wise) alongside the visual overhaul in preparation for our next big push!
