Hello Survivors!
So, it's been couple days since the last DevDiary. Sorry that I was busy handling masses load of works arranged for the dev team. And I had to be the one to support them.
Now I am back for new stuff to share with you guys. Between, thank you for lots of feedback based on the lastest improvements and change for the game. We are on the way of taking huge improvements along with fix and changes, and it is the reason why I was busy and away. Probably by the end of this week or early next week, you will be encountering a game update, which you guys can expect better gameplay after this update.
We will continue to prove that the game is getting better as we perform every update. And hopefully, one day, you guys will accept us!
That's if for today, and let's have more talk in the next DevDiary!
Development
- Remove pick up item's thime attribute.
- Implemented vehicle damage.
- Structure objects color and materials change.

DevDiary 42
After the big update, the price has lowered down, which we have been mentioning about it since couple weeks back. And instantly after that, we contacted people to give out key codes. The list for giving out key codes are pretty long that it would at least take couple days to finish, which we will continue to do this job until we manage to finish all names in the list. On the day key codes were shared, we could collect pretty lots of feedback. These testers have sent their feedback immediately after the test that they have pointed out issues pretty straightforward. Overall, the game is much better than the first release, but as in detailed perspective view, the game needs more improvements. We were aware of issues that most of the parts they pointed out and will promise that it will get far better than improvement.
For more information regarding the upcoming improvement and fix, we will notify through the DevDiary. Please don't forget to check the news section often to catch up on our dev story.
Hop you guys enjoy the rest of the day. We will see again tomorrow 😊
Development
- Additional work to improve the volcano's smoke effect.
- Fixed an issue occurred on the suppressor.
- Additional work on the tree roots and remodeling the object.
DevDiary 41
As you all may know, the package price has lowered down to $14.99.
Now are the time and great opportunity for people to try out the game, the battle royale game that others don't have, but only DEATH FIELD has. It's refreshing content you have ever experienced never before. And with the AI update, you won't have to worry about playing the game alone. AI's are everywhere in the field to kick you out from the game. We have applied vast amounts of resource to make this happen. And all that comes down to consumers to wholly enjoy the game. Although we have gone through quite numbers of steps in concerning the big update completion, this is not the time for a rest or holiday. We are still doing something a lot. And as we prepare things one by one, there are more that comes to preparation.
So, based on today's development note, we would like to address few major works. Dot sight had come out since the big update, but its functionality aspect seems to lack and needs to retouch. Perhaps, the dot sight will be able to use with its most of functionality after the latest patch update.
The volcano's smoke effect has again reworked. This time it is more realistically visualizing. The smoke animation gives a feeling that you are playing right next to the deadly volcano mountain.
after the update on the whole surface of the level, had brought the awkward look because of the meshes and props have placed all over the location oddly, which we had to either resize to replace or reorganize it.
Ok, now let us focus on the development. If there is more info to share with you guys. Let's do that again next week 😊
Development

[Important Notice]
We’ve newly lowered the package price down from $24.99 → $14.99. If you haven’t purchased the game yet, then it is your time to get it now!
We've been considering what topic to talk for today's note.
According to all the talks we have been talking about previously, seems like we have brought out every issue already and you guys know better than us. 😊 But then the problem right now is the bugs continuously being found as we progress the test further. Well, finding bugs is appropriate in this situation, but it is what slows us down in concerning developments and overly burns us out.
The update which had done recently is the biggest of all and have consumed us vast amounts of time. Working in the limited resource is what brought us into difficulty, but eventually, we had to deal with it and take the path as to we somehow solve it.
Even after the big update, it is going to take quite some time until reaching the stabilization but won't harm in concerning your gameplay. As we tell you guys every time, if there are any odd things you find in the game or any bugs, immediately make your way of report to the Bug Forum in the Steam community hub.
We will immediately deal with issues. Because that's what we think as prime priority things to take care as to terms of consumers convenience.

So, we are currently at the stage of polishing the end work, and slowly preparing for the predetermined update. We thought this would take ages but looks like our steps have advanced pretty further. If you refer back the stories of the Dev Diary, a lot of issues of the bug fix, revision and addition have addressed until the upcoming update. Among them, what we are primarily focusing on is, newly applying meshes place to place in the level. During this extended period of development, the environmental designer has worked on tons of meshes and props. However, these have not appropriately arranged until now, so with the numerous internal testing, the meshes and the props are starting to find their home. (So that we know where to place these props and meshes fittingly)
Other than this, the fire effect positioning around the magma area, and some object pieces enabling as destructible, are what we are currently working on. Both are important in terms of enhancing the quality of the game, so we are hoping to deliver exceptional battle royale experiences on playing at the most ruined level ever.
Ultimately, we are still progressing the development, but we won't be able to make it by today. The big update should be performing on June 18th.
Sorry for inconveniences that we couldn't be able to make it today, but we will make sure to make it happen on next Monday.
Oh, it’s a weekend coming! Have a lovely weekend and let’s continue to talk on next week.
Development
- Crafting UI work.
- Rifle related animation work. (Revising the aiming option for the crouch status)
- SMG setting and quality up working on the animation.
- Pistol reload animation work.
- A fire effect arrangement, around the magma area.
- The vehicle spawner work.
- The farm meshes and textures revision work.
- Destructible objects pieces effect.
- Crafting feature, separating with the widget.
Implementation
- The fire effect & the assets arrangements in the volcanic magma area.

The last week has been a time that we intensively were able to test the massive loads of work we did, and the test has gone smoothly, though certain parts of work still need tweaking. As of ending the game test, we were able to track the schedule is pretty going straight linear. Admittedly, there should be an additional test needs performed according to individual steps.
Right now, is a time for us to put more time focusing on what we are primarily indicating the goal.
As mentioned last week, AI testing has performed. Technically, there are quite parts of lacks. It's the thing that we've been emphasizing since started the test, that AI's action patterns and when they are shooting, the accuracy is critically low. Thus, we are rescheduling the work schedule to arrange, focusing on the AI testing. Hopefully, the test could finish on the expected time and seems like we can make that happen.
Other than that, a placing of the levels structure has completed. And to raise the quality up, we are applying masses of props and meshes that we have produced for the last couple weeks. The level has ended up looking very satisfying. We are hoping to show the revamped developments very soon on June 15th update. 😊
This is it for today’s note, and we will talk again.
Development
- Working on a fire effect, to position around the magma area.
- Working on props positioning, around the factory area.
- The ground checking when used the vehicle spawner.
- When the target has shot, the crosshair and the sound added.
- Quality improvement for a firing animation for the AR.
- The idle animation revision work for AR crouch zoom status.
- AR reload aim option and IK variables misc setting work.
Implementation
- Completed creating the destroyed debris and burnt dummy assets to be located in the volcanic area.
- The props positioning for a decorative purpose, around the factory area.
