Dear friends!
ATOM Team would like to use this occasion to wish you all a Happy New Year! 2017 was a hard and yet generous year for our game - many milestones were passed, many hardships conquered, many goals achieved. And for most of that success we are indebted to you - the players - whether by your support, your feedback, or your ideas, you helped to push ATOM beyond a simple, mostly imaginary project some RPG enthusiasts created a long time ago.
You helped make ATOM a real game. We hope the New Year brings you joy, happiness, and the fulfillment of personal goals.
Happy New Year!

Alt+tab / Dual Display bug temporary fix
Hey guys!
There's a temporary fix for the freezing bug which occurs when you alt-tab or switch to another display. What you need to do is turn off the screen capture function to ensure the best performance for the game.
It goes like this:
1. When in the Steam game list right click on ATOM RPG and select "Properties"
2. Choose "Set Launch Options" and input “-window-mode borderless”
P.S. After we fix the problem it's recommended you change this option back to on for maximum performance.
Patch - 0.6.0a
- Now when you leave Peregon you won't be teleported near the Krasnoznamenny.
- Now if you kill the fisherman or the shepherd in Otradnoye the villagers won't become automatically hostile.
- The hunter Nikodim (one of the random NPCs that can appear in the village during the day) now sells wares that he should have selled.
- Now NPCs that belong to a faction will just scold you after the first failed pickpocketing attempt and attack after the second. Lonely characters will attack after the first fail.
- We rebalanced the drinks in the game. Now you can get so drunk that the Waste dwellers will start to avoid you :)
- Fixed heroes answers some of which were cut short in the dialogues.
- Fixed problem when certain characters were speaking with lines of completely different characters.
- Fixed the dialogue with doc Mikoyan in the village.
- Fixed the scavengers special encounter.
- Fixed the cutscene when you romance Dunya in the Factory.
- Fixed the bug with a wolf extermination quest in the Roaring forest.
- Better 'next turn' button in the battles.
- We added the Help with the controls in the game! It's a temporary solution before we make proper Options.
- Now you can zoom out a bit more (10% to be exact) and also the range of visibility is fixed.
- Changed loot balance in Bunker 317.
We are currently working on other bugs and especially the two monitor problem!
ATOM RPG - EARLY ACCESS
Hey guys!
As you already know, we're publishing the Early Access version of ATOM on November 28th!
You guys were magnificent in spreading the word and helping us out during the Kickstarter campaign, which would never turn out as such a success without your contributions, seeing how our marketing budget is... $0! Now we need the help of your voices again. Please, share this information with those, whom it might interest - ATOM is coming out on Early Access, with a bunch of new characters, places, weapons and quests, lacking only the bugs and the glitches that plagued it earlier.
Thanks for being such a great help to the project!
ATOM Chernobyl Tour - Fall 2017
Hey guys!
Chernobyl is one the most famous monuments to the glory and dangers of Human progress. After the catastrophe in 1986 this once industrial peace of land is now consumed by nature and gives shivers to anybody who's ever been there!
https://youtu.be/dace55W08Rg
And if you follow the suggested route and the guides' directions, your visit to the Chernobyl zone will be absolutely radiation-safe. In fact, it will have less radiation than a typical doctor examination!
So guys, anybody who is interested in visiting this awe-inspiring place, please consider our General Secretary pledge! To meet up and maybe drink a couple of "Kozak" vodka shots in the Zone :)
Though, keep in mind that the trip will be available only after September since before that we will focus on delivering the Early access for you guys!
Hey, guys! It happened! We achieved our funding goal! And it's all thanks to You! We are super excited right now and are already making a nice update with an intermediate stretch goal! It's going to be quite interesting!
Thank you again, guys! You did it! :)
Another cosmetic update for you this week! Tired of everyone having the same hairstyle?
Well, soon you won't have to think about it anymore! With things as they are, we can finally allow ourselves to spare some time on important details like beards, mustaches and buzz-cuts for the tough soviet working class men, and the most exquisite post-apocalyptic hairstyle fashions for the lovely ladies!
Every NPC gets a free make-over once this update hits! Even the random encounter people like raiders and bandits won't be forgotten - as they will now get random features! ATOM RPG: Flowing free like the facial hair of a road side vagabond!
Please support us: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/atomrpg/atom-rpg
And thanks to you All, guys! Indie games of our caliber live and die because of their players! So your heartfelt support of ATOM is much more valuable than anybody could possibly think!.. Having you all with us is a real privilege! Of all of our inspirations you guys are the main one!
