First Survey: Results!
Sat, November 23, 2024
So after over SIX THOUSAND and more responses, the first thing I want to say on behalf of Triassic Games is thank you for the many responses you all have made! I'm going to take a moment here to talk on a few of the points that were brought up from the survey results.
Avg. user experience rating
An avg of 7.6/10 is quite that rating, and we are very grateful to receive so much praise in the many responses everyone left behind.
Areas of Gameplay to be improved
So this area has a few points I would like to give some insight on..
AI improvements (26.4%)
- The Triassic Games team will be focusing on this point going into Dec., so that we can provide a more enjoyable combat experience and mission making potential. We've already started on this by working on aircraft to get those carriers operating, with more to follow improvements to follow in due time!
Improved Controls (23.6%)
- Yes, we hear you! We will be looking into improving some controls going forward to help make the game more playable and accessible. We still have some ideas to discuss internally, but as of right now we are looking into the following:
- Improved awareness of unit actions (vessels will be getting their status bar updated to show relevant unit action, which we've also tackled the first iterations off, pending localizations for some.)
- Discuss topics internally about aircraft controls for users to help reduce micromanagement, weapon toggles for open/free fire defense states, and more.
More units of all types (14.2%)
- As of right now, we have plans to add more units of all types, and we are looking at
adding units of all types (Land, Air, Sea) on a regular basis
. We will be starting in 2025 with this plan, as we are currently focused on addressing bugs.
And finally, Saving Loading systems
- We will be moving into a testing phase soon, which the beta team will be helping us test out in the coming weeks. We still want to work on it further to make sure it's stable enough for public use before rolling it out, as we don't want those hour long missions to get messed up because of such an important feature!
Other News..
Dec->2025
Once Christmas arrives, the team at Triassic is in desperate need of a big break. After over 4 years of continuous work, the team will be
taking the two weeks from Christmas to New Years off (Dec. 23-Jan.3)
(Doesn't mean we won't be around, but we will not update the game during this time frame unless it's a hotfix for a urgent issue).
Also we love everyone's memes we've been seeing around and we wish you luck in your operations!
VAMPIRE!VAMPIRE!VAMPIRE!

Christmas Dev Update (Release 0.1.1.0 #117)
Mon, 23 December 2024
Happy Christmas to all of you that have helped support Sea Power on its first Two months in the wild! What a ride it has been for us so far, with an amazing reception from an incredibly supportive fanbase. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being understanding about bugs and issues and helping us to fix them!
On the subject of bugs you will be pleased to know that we have been running fairly extensive testing over the last few weeks to really try and nail down the memory leaks that we have been seeing. We think we are getting there and this latest patch should bring you joy in not creating several hundred thousand copies of the material assigned to trees for example? Pity poor Noah who has been creating missions where he rapidly switches between units for an hour (for example).
We at Triassic will be taking a bit of a Christmas Break, recovering a little and spending time with our families from the 24th December to the 6th January so please do not expect any updates in that time period. But we will be back with a vengeance in the New Year!
However, we?re not going to go away at Christmas without leaving you some proper gifts!
For those of you that make vessel mods I have finally got around to adding some code to let you have profile images in the encyclopaedia to go with them! More to come on that front in the New Year.
Ivan, Danill, and Ben have all been working hard on bug fixes and the occasional new feature. Active Sonar TMA should be much improved with this patch for example! There is much muttering from Ben about some really clever stuff to do with updating the map to be more performant too.
Ian has been working hard on the shaders, adding more feel to underwater scenes in particular. Ben and I have been helping (I?m not sure that is true) by sending photos of going diving on holiday.
Mek brings you goodies from the East (of Europe), the Kondor II class Minehunter and the P-4 and Wisla-classes of Patrol Boats.
Read on...
