- HERE'S WHAT'S COMING NEXT! - 29 September 2026
🌊 WE'RE BACK - HERE'S WHAT'S COMING NEXT! Hey everyone! After the launch updates and hotfixes, we took a short break while the dev team went on vacation. We're back now - and development is moving again! 🚤 During the break, we continued reading your feedback, suggestions, Steam discussions and Discord messages. Based on what you've been asking for, we've decided what we want to focus on next. Here's what's coming to Water You Doing?: 🔧 BOAT UPGRADES We're introducing a new system that will allow you to upgrade individual parts of your boat. We're currently planning two different types of upgrades: Reinforcement Module - strengthens a selected part of the boat, such as the hull, deck, walls or roof, making it significantly more resistant to damage. Indestructible Module - permanently makes the selected boat part completely indestructible. This will give you another way to progressivel…
- Hotfixes and new inventory! - 29 August 2026
🔧 HOTFIX #2 - INVENTORY EXPANSION, PERFORMANCE, MONEY REWORK & MORE Hey everyone! Another hotfix is now live! We've been going through your reports and feedback since release and this update addresses another batch of issues, while also introducing a few larger quality-of-life changes. 🎒 INVENTORY EXPANDED One of the biggest changes in this update: Your personal inventory has been expanded from 1 slot to 3 slots! This should make carrying items around the boat considerably less frustrating while still keeping inventory management an important part of the game. 💰 NEW MONEY SYSTEM We've also completely changed how money works. Money is now a virtual currency, similar to repair materials. It is no longer represented by physical items that need to be carried, stored or moved around the boat. This should make buying things significantly more convenient and also eliminates several issues c…
