- Bugfixes, Balancing, Oh My! - 25 August 2026
Hey everyone! Here again with a small but significant update!We've been working mostly on various fixes, but also on rebalancing the entire game. We're very curious to hear what you think of the new pacing, so please, let us know on discord or via the in-game feedback button! We highly recommend you start over to experience it properly (as some of you may have already bought everything). Savegames are located in AppData/Local/Sub/Saved/SaveGames - we recommend deleting *at least* the "Dock_" files as well as "PlayerWalletSave", but we won't force you to :)This will be the last content update for a while as we focus on getting all our ducks in a row and work up to a 1.0 release. We'll still put out bug fixes for game-breaking issues, but this will be the last content patch for now. Because of this, it's extra important that you let us know if there's something you would like to see diffe…
- Hotfix 2026-08-14 (part 2) - 14 August 2026

- Hotfixes 2026-08-14 - 14 August 2026
A few too many bugs sneaked with the last update, so here's a hotfix addressing the most game-breaking and annoying issues. Let us know if you run into any other issues!Fixed an issue...... where currency would not update on the UI when selling/buying things... where enemies could see through walls... where the big submarine spawned with holes... that prevented big and small submarines from taking damage... where coffee mug interactions would stick to the UI... that caused the wrench to show up twice when exiting a station... where the "continue dialogue" button ejected you from stations... where the revive icon would show up on yourself after exiting a station Also made it less likely that large foliage spawns in the exit tunnelDisabled unfinished menusAdded an "abandon mission" button to the menuAdded a "retake tutorial" button to the menuReplaced palm trees and coconuts with new mode…
- Solo sub, swimming, and more! - 7 August 2026
Hey! It's been a while! We hope you had a good summer. We've enjoyed a short break, but we've also been working hard to get this update ready for you :DThere's a good mix of new stuff, old stuff, fixes, and performance improvements! We hope you enjoy.As always, let us know if you have issues, comments, or feedback! We're happy to help out on our discord server :)AdditionsAdded the small submarine - it has both the helm and harpoon turret combined in one place! As a result, we recommend you only use it solo (as a second person wouldn't have much to do...)Added swimming! While we were gone, our local treasure-appropriators have been taking swimming lessons. Whether it be the open bodies of water of the shipyard, or a flooded submarine, just jump in :DAdded molas to the shallows. These gentle giants won't do much, but they're neat to look atA new foe has moved into the basin caves - try to…
- First Update in a While! - 26 June 2026
Hey everyone! It's been a while since our last game update. We ended up delaying it twice to add extra stability and fixes, and now it's gotten much bigger than we intended!We're still working hard on the next major update, but for now we're soft-launching the new biome, the caves.So without further ado, the patch notes:Big additionsAdded the cave level. It's not entirely done yet - we haven't implemented any obstacles or enemies. But you're able to sail around, gather treasure and explore. Please let us know what you think!Because of this, it is no longer random which biome you load into when you dive deeper.Added clams to the shallows. Steal their pearls for profit :>Reworked how the periscope worksThe periscope used to be able to see everything in the level. Now it is both dependent on where your cursor is, and it has a max range. This was done to encourage exploration, since we felt…
- What'Sub Roadmap! - 15 June 2026
Hi everyone! It's now been a whole month (and a day) since launch. We're super thankful for everyone who have played the game in the meantime (all 1300 of you!). Since launch we've released 5 patches addressing stability and bugs, and 1 content update.Getting to this point took a bit longer than we wanted it to, but now, we're finally in a state where we can start to look ahead. With that said, here's the roadmap! :D We've kept our timeline short deliberately so we can respond more quickly to feedback and suggestions. We hope to get to the end of this in the next couple of months, but you never know.We're already in full swing, working on the next big update which will feature the cave biome, more treasures, re-balanced progression, changes to how the periscope works, more cosmetics, and a whole bunch of fixes to various systems (plus other stuff I'm probably forgetting).Here's a little…

- It's time for the big submarine update! - 22 May 2026
It's time for the big submarine update!We've designed this thing for 4 people, but theoretically there's a much higher limit on lobby sizes, so.. go wild! This update also features bug fixes for most of the commonly encountered issues. We have, however, encountered a new issue where the client sometimes doesn't load the submarine on level transition, causing them to fall into infinite void. We'll look into this on Monday (after a much needed weekend), but for now you need to rejoin the session to fix it. Sorry orz Added the big submarine! This one should work better for larger group sizes, but also takes more coordination to maneuver.We're still iterating on the design details of the big submarine so its layout may change slightly in the future.The big and medium sub have their own save games, so feel free to swap between them for different group sizes!Added visualization for submarine…
- First Big Update - 18 May 2026
