Many changes and corrections were not included in the lists, so there are many more changes than written.
The game is gradually being adjusted and supplemented.
We are waiting for you in the discussions and in the discord.
Ammo system
Greetings players, a little news from development.
Cartridges are the main means of eliminating a target at a distance. The cooler the cartridges, the more powerful the enemy can be destroyed along the way.
Cartridges are divided into 5 types: 1) Standard (PS) – cartridges based on lead bullets. 2) Expansive (EXP) - for hunting, based on the expansion of the bullet inside the carcass. 3) Steel (SP) - have a steel bullet, greater penetration power and speed. 4) Armor-piercing (AP) – increased rate of penetration of enemy armor. 5) Special (PSM) - modernized cartridges created according to special drawings.
All these types of cartridges have different indicators of price, weight, drop chance, armor penetration, gravity (flatness), speed, damage and physical impulse of destruction.
In the game, 20 types of calibers are reserved, from pistol to rifle, which each have 5 types. Thus, we get 100 cartridges with different properties.
At the moment, the cartridges were too expensive, which did not allow me to earn much money and buy what I wanted. Therefore, it was decided to reduce the price of cartridges by 5 times and once an inventory is taken, the characteristics of the cartridges can be changed.
At the moment, we inform you that all cartridges in calibers for revolvers have been removed from the game, since there are no revolvers in the game yet.
The more powerful and better the ammo, the harder it will be to find. So if you find a cartridge that you think is simple, don’t throw it away, it can save your life.
Join this dangerous and exciting journey. Good luck and good game.
Year on Steam
Year on Steam
Good day, friends.
We haven't had any news for a long time, this is due to the expansion of the game as a whole. We worked on multiplayer and a new mode - special operations. While we are porting the main game to the new Unreal Engine 5, September 9th is exactly one year since the game has been in early access, and on this date we decided to give the opportunity to evaluate the cooperative part of the game (at the request of many customers). We know about some problems, we definitely missed some, so write your feedback and suggestions under this news and in discussions.
The main game is still in development, and once all the mechanics interact well, we'll ask you to try them out and share your feedback.
Multiplayer and new mode - special operations.
The special operations mode is available in solo and co-op, they will be carried out on existing places of interest but with a modified environment around this territory, different scenarios and difficulties. At the current stage of development, we are thinking about recreating the special operation in the open world.
Convoy - Destruction
The first special operation in the project - in it you will have to fight with bandits who decided to attack the gas station and take all the resources for themselves. You need to defend the gas station and evacuate. You will have access to several types of weapons, as well as several types of ammunition, which will help you win. The maximum number of people in one special operation is 4 Types of weapons - 2 machine guns, 1 pistol, submachine gun,
How to play the old version of the game?
The main branch of the game is now powered by a new engine and you will receive all updates immediately.
If you want to play the previous version of the game until it is transferred to the new engine, you need to: find the game in the Steam library, click on properties and select Beta Versions, then select "oldgame" in the top list and you will have a game of the old version of the prologue of the game. You can watch the video below for a visual demonstration of this process:
Further plans
The main game is still being built, new points of interest will be described in other project news. Transferring the game in general takes a lot of time, we hope you enjoy it.
Have a nice day and good mood.
New technologies already in the project
Good day friends.
Not so long ago, the release of Unreal Engine 5.2 took place, in which we transferred the development of the project. Also, development was also carried out on version 5.1, but as a test of the engine version.
What does the new version give?
5.0 and later versions are new technologies and features. One of the main advantages of the 5th version is World Partition - now the creation of an open world has become better and easier. Lighting Lumen - already used in the project. Beautiful and high quality light. Lumen is a new system of global illumination and reflections in Unreal Engine 5. It creates fully dynamic indirect lighting, taking into account the parameters of geometry, materials and light in the scene. Nanite technology - auto-generation of lods, we use it in difficult cases. You can read more about the new technologies of the new version in other sources.
Other changes
Update of the weather system - sandstorms are now possible, this weather phenomenon will occur in a desert area. Update and development of existing locations (places of interest) - everything that was transferred from earlier versions will be transformed and redone. New vegetation - The game is dominated by mixed forest, a mixture of broad-leaved and coniferous trees.
Metal depot in the township
Hello everyone, have a great day and mood.

The geographical location of this building is near the station, behind the depot.
