Dev Blog 4/3/25 - Roadmap Update
Thu, 3 April 2025



Saving/Loading, Upcoming content drop, and Dynamic Campaign Delayed


Saving/Loading - What you should know!
Saving and Loading will be going to the release build later this month! It will remain in the public beta branch for a little while longer while we continue to make sure some bigger changes are worked out. With this, we've also added a new in-game bug reporting system that can be accessed within a mission by hitting ESC -> send debug report. This will automatically generate the following info and be sent to us for debugging:

    - A new autosave is trigged and save into your save folder (%appdata%->LocalLow->Triassic Games), which we get a copy of.
    - Both game logs (lets us check for null refs, or otherwise) and the event logs (allows us to see missiles hit chance, engagement orders, etc.).
    - a copy of the mission file (to help debug more specific mission related errors).
    - Basic system specs (OS, hardware, driver info)

All of the information above will greatly improve our ability to reproduce some of the errors that have been harder for us to track down with what information has been normally shared. If you run into issues in-game, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU USE THE IN-GAME REPORTING. If there is an issue that you CANNOT send via that tool, please resume reporting through either the Microprose discord (link here) or via the steam forums for your respective game branch.


Dynamic Campaign is delayed!
The Triassic Team will be delaying Dynamic Campaign testing from it's Q2 release window to continue work on the base game. With this delay, this will afford us more time to gather the team around various improvements like the AI behaviors, Aircraft micromanagement QOL, and other features to improve the overall base gameplay. If we continue to work on Dynamic Campaign currently, it will only come back to bite us even if we make the dynamic campaign on time due to the base game systems being less polished.


Tac View integration testing!
While we know there is a demand for a replay system, we will be implementing Tac View with Sea Power in the near future! Not only do we think this will be used to help analyze post battle actions, but could even help us with debugging due to the fact we won't have to create an entire new system to work on. We are excited to start experimenting with this idea internally first, before rolling it out to Beta later on!




What's next Triassic Games?
With saving and loading coming soon, we will be focusing on delivering our next content drop this month! This will include JMSDF Units (and some bonus units for other nations through in too!), Mission Editor Improvements, further performance optimizations, and more! We've been hard at work in the background working on improving our autogen tech as well, as we are making plans to try and expand it's functionality to allow for more objects to be added to it. Our first experiments will be with trees, and if it goes well, there is potential it could be expanded to underwater boulders, ice caps/shelves, and smaller objects. Triassic Games is still very much aware of the AI improvement goals, but our limited bandwidth forces us to focus on one to two core issues at a time. We thank you for your patience with us as we work!


New window type (freestyle window with XAML editing)! -Beta Branch-
The Free Content Window is a new UI Window that you can create with a Trigger. This window is empty by default and you are able to provide content for it in the same way that you can for Mission Briefings, by specifying an Assets directory (for things like images) and an XML file which defines the content. See here https://www.noesisengine.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3610 for a handy UI tool that you can use to help create these. The Free Content Window has two additional features built in. These are "Commands", which you can use to interact back with the game world from the UI. The first is the OpenFileCommand which allows you to switch the content of the window to that defined in a new XML file, you specify the file through the CommandParameter of UI Elements like buttons. The second is the ExecuteTriggerCommand which allows you to cause a trigger to be executed on a button push. These are referenced via the Trigger Name and again defined in the CommandParameter field of a UI element.


Bonus Units for April! (Sneak Peak)
While you all have seen some photos thus far about the JMSDF units, we also will be including some new land units for this months content drop! (Units depicted: M51 Skysweeper, M110 arty, MLRS, Type 60, Type 81, Straight Flush)




Closing Words
Hello everyone, Zelos here again! Just want to of course continue to thank everyone in our community for the feedback, awesome screenshots, videos, and memes you all create! Going forward, we will be updating our roadmap media to be more accurate to reflect these changes that we mentioned above.

Major Update 25-Apr-2025

Major Update Ahoy and the JMSDF makes way! (v0.1.2.0)

Mission Saving and Loading, Tac View integration, and the JMSDF units


Hello from Triassic Games! We are very excited today to announce a massive update filled with new units, features, and more! As you've seen in past dev blogs, we are actively working away in the background. Let's go over some of the new and exciting content shall we?

Saving and Loading
Yes, we know it's been awhile in the making, and we are feeling more comfortable with it now to roll it out to public. However.. This does include the disclaimer that this feature is still new, and we expect issues with it to arise. We highly encourage issues with loading missions and saving to be reported through the in-game reporting system accessed via the ESC menu. What does saving and loading include you ask?

    - Quick Saving/Loading (F5 to save, F9 to load)
    - Save File and Load Files (Located in AppData\LocalLow\Triassic Games\Sea Power\Saves) (in-game ESC menu has a save button, with a load button being accessed via the 'Scenario' tab at the bottom)
    - Autosaving (set the time (in mins) via the in-game options menu)


Tac View!
We are pleased to be offering integration with Tac View and are grateful for the Tac View team for such an awesome product! This feature, when enabled via the options menu, will record your battles and allow you watch them in post! However, this will be an early roll out, and therefore we are aware of some issues around it, especially when loading a existing save file. This will be a WIP feature, so please pardon our progress if you encounter issues with it!
The Tac View files are currently located in the log files folder under steamapps\common\Sea Power\Sea Power_Data\Logs




Tactical Display feature - Night Mode!
This new feature is enabled in a AUTO mode by default, so at night time, it will change the map color to be less blinding for those who prefer the dark color themes many of us enjoy today! You can change the settings on the fly via the 'hamburger' menu (button has 3 horizontal lines stacked on top of each other -> Theme expanded menu). We hope it's a bit easier on the eyes during those intense night battles!

Big Beta Branch Update
Thu, 3 July 2025



Hello from Triassic Games! After quite sometime, we are rolling out a BIG update to the Beta branch for testing! Those who wish to opt in to the beta can go into Steam, Right Click, Properties, Beta, and opt in! DISCLAIMER: using mods on the beta branch is not advisable, and may lead to additional issues. If you need to report a bug on the beta branch on Steam, please use the correct Beta Branch Bug report thread. Let's go over some of the new stuff in testing..


Tacview Live Telemetry
Thanks to some awesome work from Matt on Tacview, you can now use it's real-time telemetry option, and watch the battlefield in real time. In Tacview, you can click the recording button in the top left (globe icon), real time telemetry, click connect, and start a mission! Please keep in mind, Tacview is currently configured to see everything, so all units are revealed when viewing the battlefield from within Tacview. We've also added ballistics tracking, fixed some unit types not appearing, and corrected some other defects. We may change this later on depending on feedback and as we continue to finalize integration.


New Linear Campaign in Public Beta!
We are excited to launch Sea Power's first official campaign, Calculus of Conflict, arriving in this update. Set in 1985, this five-mission Linear Campaign explores a conflict between NATO and Warsaw Pact, covering both Atlantic and Pacific theaters. It ties each scenario together with interstitial story events to create a narrative campaign the player can advance through by winning each mission. This new format includes branching missions where the player can play as NATO or the USSR, and also provides a framework for modders to build their own Linear Campaigns. The Linear Campaign will supplement the Dynamic Campaign as development proceeds.

We would like to thank iblank, Neu, and TheHappyYachter for creating the Linear Campaign!


New and reworked missions!

Courtesy of Ian Roberts, he has spent a ton of time working on missions and helping improve aspects of the game! Check out the following new missions:

  - NATO / The High North 1968
  - NATO / Caron at Grenada 1983
  - Other / Operation Trident 1971 (intended as an easy intro mission for new players)


Updated, rebalanced, and added briefings to existing scenarios:

  - Volga Exercise
  - Hunters or Hunted?
  - Battle of Latakia and Battle of Baltim (Yom Kippur War)
  - Operation Morvarid 1980 (Iran-Iraq War)
  - Encounter Off Diu 1971 (Indo-Pakistani War of 1971)


Biologics
You're going to need a bigger boat when you see the 3 different whales we've added to the game! They will be available in the mission editor as well for mission makers to make submarine missions even more complex and intense. Do not torpedo the wildlife please!


UI Changes
We've heard your feedback, and have begun the first phase of rolling out various improvements to the control of units. Now you will be able to right click on a waypoint and set various conditions to it. For example, now you can set a waypoint's height for your aircraft, and when to turn sensors off or on too! This functionality is still in testing, and is also available inside the mission editor. The Status bar at the bottom now has some additional info displayed for some unit types, and will continue to upgraded with time. For now, aircraft will now display their fuel and ETA when hovering over the status bar.

Patch notes 0.4.0
Fri, 1 August 2025



Team Statement
Hello everyone! First off, thank you to everyone who has recently switched over to the beta branch to help us test out our new and first linear campaign. With this major update, we feel it's ready for everyone now, so thank you for your patience in waiting so long for our newest update.



The changelog is quite large, but to highlight a few of the big features:

  - Whales are now a feature to help make submarine combat a little less straightforward. Now you'll have to watch your fire!
  - Many environment and VFX changes (Sea foam, wakes, and biome changes primarily) as well as an overhaul of the atmospheric fog
  - Our first linear campaign series
  - Explicit sensor control and improved control over torpedo attack depth (right click on weapon on bottom bar to see options, only applies to ship mounted launchers)
  - And more than a month worth of bug fixes!



Some of the up and coming goals we have are to

  - Improve gunnery realism
  - Tutorial missions
  - Prepare for our first internal prototype of our AI infrastructure testing
  - And moving trees into autogen system, which could lead to more additions to it to help make the game environment more realistic and varied plus should improve the overall performance




Note on new mod compatibility check
Update 0.4.0 adds new functionality to check the base version compatibility for mods within the game install. Please note that this requires mod makers to add base version compatibility into their mod's _info.ini file. At this time, most mods will not include this marker and so will appear in the list of incompatible mods. You can safely "Ignore" the warnings for now.

For mod makers: please follow the directions here to update your mods so this error is not thrown.

Check out the detailed change list below!

Patch Notes 0.4.8
Mon, 22 September 2025



Hey everyone, here comes another patch -- this update delivers a mix of fixes, realism improvements, and new content. Several Mission Editor and Attack Waypoint issues have been resolved, and we have added waypoint ETA (both in time and nautical miles) for units in the editor.

In addition, US Navy missile illuminators have been adjusted to match real-world specs, meaning that SM-1 ships will suffer a reduction in overall firepower (defined as number of missiles in the air at one time), while SM-2 ships will see a 50% increase in firepower as they gain the ability to control more missiles at once.

Also, this update adds historical squadrons with liveries and serials for the SH-2F Sea Sprite, along with historically accurate assignments across each USN frigate, destroyer, and cruiser. Finally, a new scenario has been added: JMSDF Sub Duel 1985 - find it in the new "JMSDF Scenarios" folder.

  - - All non-SM-2 ships get a 50% reduction in firepower.
  - - Added proper CG/SM-2 upgrade to Leahy, Belknap, Long Beach for a three- to fourfold increase in firepower.
  - Corrected shape and size of SYR-1
  - SYS-1 combat system no longer indestructible
  - SA-N-6 fire rate
  - Removed Jacks from Jackstaffs
  - Mission Editor: Erroneous +1 to waypoint telegraph value on Load
