Attention Recruits,

The spooky season is upon us. With Halloween just around the corner, we are presenting you the first of a three-part update series. Chapter One brings some heavily requested additions to Murky Divers.

Pharma Corps noticed that some of you prefer the solitude of the ocean or the strength of a dynamic duo dive. Therefore, we're introducing a new type of smaller submarine suited to your dive-style preferences.

Our intelligence department witnessed some recruits struggling with the basic mechanics of operating the submarine and navigating to expedition sites. To solve this, we've improved our onboarding to enhance the ease of understanding the core loop:

• Redesign of stations and information displays for the sonar, narrow-band, net, collision display, lever, propulsor, torpedo launcher
  
• In-game tutorials with hints and conditional states to help guide players
  
• Overhaul of the submarine interior design
  
• Removed unnecessary information

Last but not least, we added a new creature to the depths of Murky Divers: The Murderer.

As announced in the previous update, the decision was made to set the price to $7.99 (regional pricing for different countries). Murky Divers has evolved significantly since its release: a new biome, more creatures, diving suits, locations such as the Black Market, new items and modules, and much more still to come. We even added an underwater scooter! In summary, Murky Divers has seen significant additions and improvements since its launch!

It all started out with our first major update bringing a ton of new things:

• New biome: caves
  
• New items: scooter, agent NUTS, bait
  
• New stations: torpedo, laundry
  
• Introducing swimming suits
  
• Controller support
  
• Lots of smaller additions/improvements

Next up, we created this summarized roadmap of what followed after the first major update:

Update 0.7 is the first in a series of 3 updates leading to our Halloween special. Pharma Corps attaches a lot of importance to its seasonal events. Make sure to stay tuned for the festivities!

All the best,
Pharma Corps Management

Attention Recruits,


Introducing The Trader, a mysterious figure operating the Black Market from a Sea Giant's belly. The Trader holds the key to a range of valuable items—if you can earn its favor.

But heed this warning: the stakes are high. Disturb the Trader's peace, and you’ll face consequences that even Pharma Corps can’t fix. Gift wisely, and you might find yourself equipped with the tools you need for your next mission.

• New destination: Black Market. Reachable during navigation. Ducks are crucial.
  
• New suit Nier Duckomata, buyable at the Black Market
  
• Added a mirror inside the sub to check your best outfits

• Sound and microphone now still work when the game isn't in focus
  
• Display name tags (togglable in settings)
  
• Display object of collision when navigating
  
• Added a fire button on the torpedo station
  
• Better vision when carrying bulky items
  
• Performance improvements

We would like to thank all of our loyal crew members for their continued support. Without you, we wouldn't be where we are today.

Our goals with Murky Divers are far from complete but the game has evolved significantly over these past months with a large amount of new content (new biome, new monsters, diving suits, and many more). The decision was made to increase the base price from $5.99 to $7.99 on the 26th of September which brings us on par with the games in our niche. As such, make sure to grab your copy now!

Pharma Corps has wild plans for its employees. More info coming (very) soon!

All the best,
Pharma Corps Management

Attention, Recruits,


It has come to our attention that a virus is spreading among our divers. This virus is highly contagious and can be transmitted through sneezing, vomiting, etc. in the vicinity of healthy recruits.

While we strongly advise against attempting to contract this virus, we must mention that those infected have reportedly enhanced their visual appearance. Pharma Corps is deeply concerned about the well-being of our divers, tread carefully!

• Improvement: divers equipment now comes with a brand new slot for tools
  
• Improvement: collision indicator panel in the submarine
  
• Improvement: smoother rotational behavior for creatures
  
• Improvement: improved creatures' navigational systems reduce their chance of getting stuck

• Fixed Sea Robber sometimes dropping a stolen item behind a wall
  
• Fixed Leeches attacking players inside Water Bears
  
• Fixed dead player's body impossible to grab when killed by a Water Bear
  
• Fixed items bought in dispenser sometimes not dispensed
  
• Fixed active bait in the cart causing an incorrect item count on the cart's screen
  
• Fixed issue where active bait could be placed in the belt
  
• Fixed steel doors sometimes appearing closed while opened on the host
  
• Fixed missing stun behavior for the chicken creature
  
• Fixed translation issue on the poster in the airlock

• Improvement: outfit unlocking progress is now visible in the laundry
  
• Fixed players joining during an expedition being count as "abandonned on site"
  
• Fixed items moving to strange positions when being released
  
• Fixed items in cart sometimes displayed with an offset for some players
  
• Fixed cart sometimes not displaying the correct number of items

• Improvement: logic, graphics, and network optimizations
  
• Fixed crash when entering an expedition site
  
• Fixed players unable to join a game when spawn point is blocked by an item
  
• Fixed voice attenuation issues (players hearing each other no matter the distance)
  
• Fixed cart sometimes not displaying the correct number of items (again)
  
• Additional minor bug fixes and improvements

Remember, the success of our operations depends on you. Stay vigilant, stay loyal, and continue to serve Pharma Corps with unwavering commitment.

Hey everyone!

The last couple of weeks have been insane for us. We're a small team and Murky Divers has been an incredibly ambitious project. Yet, we see a ton of positive responses and this warms our hearts.

It would mean the ocean if we received your support at launch. Steam is incredibly competitive and we can use all the support we can get.
