Update 0.3.1 Changelog

4 月 1 日

Let me start by thanking each and every one of you who have purchased Lakehopper. My expectations have been greatly exceeded, and I feel very lucky and thankful. I'm so happy that so many of you are having fun with the game! Thank you for your feedback, questions, and bug reports. Keep 'em coming!

Today’s update is all about fixing some of the low-hanging fruit. There are more fixes and early improvements on the way. The biggest change has to do with how parts wear over time and how that affects plane performance. I knew I needed to do this change, but it didn’t quite make the cut for release. I’ve got a couple other small improvements, and some bugfixes that fix issues regarding rebinds, UI, and refueling.

Major Changes

Part Wear and Tear Changes

The part condition system has had a overall rebalance. That system has been active and working, taking into account how hard parts are being run, for how long they’ve been run, and if there are any loose bolts. (They don’t currently take crashes or high G-force flying into consideration… yet.)

For this rebalance, I’ve adjusted individual part lifespans, increasing the lifespan of most parts, especially structural parts without complex or moving components. Some parts have had their lifespans shorted slightly. This makes some parts durable, and some parts fragile. In particular, motor components wear faster, as do the fuel cell stacks in the power plant.

However, I’ve also greatly adjusted the curves that determine how well a part works over its lifespan. Overall, every part currently on your plane will perform better than it was before, even if I’ve reduced the lifespan. Below is an image that shows the old and new curves used to evaluate this.

Previously, a part would be reduced to 80% of its performance after 35% of its lifespan had been used. This was far too large a reduction in performance, far too fast, and well before any visual indications of wear were showing up.

With the new curve. parts retain 96% of their performance after 50% of their lifespan, and only drop to 80% after around 75% of their lifespan has passed. By this point, early visual signs of wear and tear will have already become apparent. Performance falloff is steeper when it happens, but your plane will retain its performance for much longer, even for parts that now wear faster.

For those interested in the math, the old curve is y = x^0.5, and the new one is y = 1 - 2^(-10 * x), x being the remaining percent of lifespan, y being the performance percentage.

There is definitely be more balancing to be done here, but I wanted to get this overall change out ASAP. I'll also be adding in-game documentation for the expected lifespan of different parts and the replacement intervals.

Improvements

Increased rope forces for both the player pulling on the plane and rope tension from tie-downs.
Added keybind setting for the held item modifier key (alt by default).
- Holding this key allows you to rotate held parts, and using the scroll wheel, adjust how close they are held.
- Allows for binding a controller button if desired.

Bugfixes

Fixed an issue where the Flaps Up secondary keybind was not detecting inputs from devices other than keyboard and mouse. Some other bindings received the same fix, so if you were having binding issues previously, this may fix them. There’s more work to do on peripheral support. This might fix some issues, but not all.
Fixed an issue with saving bindings for players in countries that use a comma instead of a period for the decimal separator in numbers. This was causing axis deadzone and invert settings to fail to be applied or saved for those players.
Fixed an issue where the hand pulled rope toggle flipped on and off instead of staying on or off.
Fixed many UI window issues on ultrawide monitors. Overall, the UI windows should be more consistent for everyone, but especially for ultrawide monitor users. (If you’re still seeing issues, send a screenshot and I’ll fix it!)
Fixed an issue where resetting the fuel nozzle while attached to the plane wouldn’t properly clear the refuel port.
Fixed an issue where the fuel nozzle would stay attached to your plane if it flew away from the refuel station. It will now reset to the station. (No more infinite fuel glitch, sorry!)

Happy skies!

Suggestions about aircraft system

1. electric motors shouldn't need a starter nor have the concept of "idle". they just turn when you tell them to. 2. the current boost (turbocompressor) is a bit confusing. I suggest this: with turbo inop or off, the fuel cells give nominal output limit (say, 800 kW) only at sea level. it loses that gradually as altitude goes up. So at "auto", the turbo automatically ensures nominal output is possible at current barometric altitude, and at "on" the turbo is forced at full power. It can even go better if we...

Lakehopper Early Access Launch Devlog

3 月 31 日

Welcome everyone! It’s Early Access launch day! Work on Lakehopper first started in summer of 2023, and the game has been in full time development since November 2024. I’ve been looking forward to this for a while now! Lakehopper is a solo project and it’s been a joy to work on. I’m very excited for what I’ve got planned for the future.

Thank you again to everyone who participated in the playtest! Lakehopper is a better game today than it was a month ago, thanks to your feedback and bug reports. If you reported a bug, and it hasn’t been fixed yet, know that all those bugs are still on my list and will be addressed.

I’ve made a few changes and fixed some bugs since the last playtest version, including a fun surprise that will allow for some customization! The full changelog for this version is below. During the next period of development I will be focusing on fixing more bugs, including some bigger issues that I wasn’t able to address before launch.

Currently there’s a memory leak causing crashes on the native Linux version. I want to get this fixed ASAP. Some playtesters were having issues using or binding their specific flight sim peripherals. Most peripherals do work, or partially work, but I want to make sure everyone can use their hardware. This is a bigger fix that involves technically complex changes and I want to give it the care it deserves.

The first updates will mostly focus on fixing bugs and making the game more robust. I’ll likely include some minor content updates, but the earlier I fix bugs, the better!

There are a lot of things that need to be added to make Lakehopper the rich, rewarding, and challenging game I want it to be. This includes, but is not limited to: NPCs, story and dialogue, weather, a day/night cycle and calendar, more planes, more parts, more subsystems, more locations to visit, more jobs to do, localization, tutorials, mod support, etc.

This is a huge list, and I’m aware of the monumental amount of work that needs to be done to add all that. It’ll be a long process, especially given that I’m a solo developer. I don’t have any specific timeline for when any specific feature will be added, though I’ll publish a more detailed roadmap soon.

After completing the fixes I mentioned above, probably the first new thing I’ll add is a new plane that’ll be easier to start with, and some highly requested alternate parts. The timeline here depends mostly on the time and effort required for post-launch bugfixes and tweaks.

Thank you for checking out Lakehopper! I’m so happy to be able to finally share it with you! There’s more exciting things to come, and really, this is only the beginning of the journey! Happy skies!

Version 0.3 Changelog

Major Changes
- Paint your plane!
  - I’ve added the ability to change the color of your plane! Just inside the rear door, you’ll find a blue “Change Plane Color” button that will open a UI to allow you to select plane colors. You can create a two color gradient or generate stripes from those two colors. The fuselage, underside, and tail of the plane can get their own color schemes. I wanted to add a bit more variety and customization to the plane! You can always uncheck the Custom Color toggle and return to the default paint job. More livery options will be available in the future.
- Push and hold on plane trim, dials, and the rope tool
  - No more button mashing to set trim or adjust the VOR! I’ve added the ability to push and hold to adjust the plane trims, turn knobs, and adjust rope length.
  - Currently there’s not much feedback when you hold an input, but I’ll fix that soon so it’s clearer when you’re adjusting things.
Improvements
- Added a “Reset Nozzle” button on the refuel station. Pressing this button will return the nozzle to the refuel station, for instance if you drop it to the ocean floor!
- Added a new game intro screen with some useful info for new players. This will only appear when you start a new game. The playtest notice on the main menu has been removed.
Bugfixes
- Optimized some motor part colliders. Overly complex geometry was causing frame lag spikes during assembly, and was possibly causing the game to freeze for some players. These colliders have been greatly simplified reducing this lag.
- Potentially fixed an issue where the mouse sensitivity could be reduced to 0 and get stuck there. The game will check if your saved settings have the mouse at 0 sensitivity and reset it.
- Fixed an issue where the pause menu would reopen unexpectedly when pushing a controller button.

How can I check the parts?

How can I know if something is broken and how often do parts break?
