Adrift And Alone - September Update

Updated: Mar 18, 2022

The Adrift and Alone September Update is here!



New shark spawning system


This update was originally slated to release last month, but was delayed while we fixed a few issues it caused. The September Update is particularly interesting because we have finally found a way to optimize the game to a point where we have almost completely removed the FPS drops that have been present in the game since launch. To improve performance, we decided to take a different approach to spawning sharks. Up until this update, the game spawned all of its sharks at the start of the game. With the new system, we only spawn sharks when the player approaches a shark’s spawn location, which are evenly placed around the map near chest and crate spawn points. Early test builds show that this will prevent the FPS drops and improve overall stability of the game.


Full release notes:

v 1.1.5.2

  • Changed the way sharks spawn: They will only spawn when you are near their spawn points. This should massively improve performance across the board.

  • Added new theme music

  • Added small amounts of vegetation

  • Improved water visual quality

  • Refined and polished many parts of the UI

  • A few other small tweaks/fixes
