The woods location will bring some extra adventure to you! Hunting, fighting animals or discovering hidden cabins to loot. All that in randomly generated locations. Feeling tired? Why not seek refuge in a tent whilst in the woods? The deeper you traverse into the woods, the more likely you are to find more rewarding loot and fight stronger enemies!

News and Teasers!
Greetings to all peppers!
We have been so focused on production lately that we hadn't even realised that it's been so long since we gave you all an update! We would like to clarify that us being quiet in regards to updates is not what we want. From now on we are going to notify you a lot more frequency with the process of Mr. Prepper's production. We'll be informing you about not just those "big" updates but also about interesting steps we made while making the game!
So why not start with this post!
We have started working on the desert level - it's going to be an arcade one, where vehicles are required :) But where can we possibly find a vehicle? Our prepper can look for it at the local, closed junkyard. Take a look at the picture-teaser above!
That's the first of many upcoming news and teasers surrounding Mr.Prepper. As stated previously, from now on we will keep you all updated with more information, pictures and videos from the production.

Prepping for the release
Greetings to all peppers!
Dust off your trench-coats and fasten your seatbelts, here's an update!
During the last few days we have had a battle to fight and some decisions to make. The content we created for Mr.Prepper has been thoroughly tested which lead us to discuss whether we are prepared to release the game. We were initially aiming to launch the game in May and were doing our utmost best to meet that vision and deadline. During our journey we have been fighting against bugs, content size and mechanics that should be implemented into the game to make it the very best we possibly can. Then it hit us and we realised that the game could be released... however, there was a possibility of making the game even better! We don't want Mr.Prepper to be a one-shot game that you will all eventually forget about. We want this game to be an adventure that is so enjoyable and immersive that you want us to expand upon it in the future. Hence we made a choice; we are not going to be releasing Mr.Prepper this month.
We are aware of the sheer amount of people waiting for Mr.Prepper's release, we are also aware that we could simply release the game, take the money and be happy that we "finished the job". However, deep down we don't want to release it right now as we have a plethora of ideas (some of which were suggested by you) and we really believe the game will be even better if we implement them first!
Having said this, we also know that some of you will be frustrated by this news having anticipated an imminent release date. Please accept our deepest apologies. As indie developers we got a bit over excited and are not experienced with such estimations, especially with a new product we are making from scratch. We are not fully aware what we will come up with next to make the game even better, but rest assured there is a plan. But a plan is never good enough when it comes to improvements; some of them are simple and some of them are forcing us to recreate, replan, and reconstruct the game's mechanics which as a result consumes time.
In our defence I can say that we are not asking for any money, pre-orders etc. We are just trying to make the game be the very best it possibly can and the only thing we ask for is your patience. If you give us time, we will give you a lot of joy and adventure together with Mr.Prepper.
To assure you that we are really working on the game, we are releasing other game teaser that will show you some new things. Starting now, we will be releasing more trailers and screenshots of the game as a lot of content is ready to be shown.
Unfortunately the release date will not be set in this update. We have failed you in that regard and we don't want to fail you again. This does not mean that the game will be released in 2022, we are just not certain about which month we will be completely satisfied with releasing the game.
Please don't let this demotivate you though as we are going to be informing you more often about the production status and give you more media-based content updates to give you an idea of how advanced the production is for this project.
If you would like to scream at me directly please join our discord using the following invite link: https://discord.gg/BjuFWEr , I am there waiting. :)
P.S.
For those who think that postponing the game isn't fair - we strongly believe that releasing a non-completed game is not fair. We are not a big game corporation, we are just a couple of enthusiasts who are passionate about making games. Rest assured we will only release the game when we feel it is 100% complete, not just when we are forced to by upcoming deadlines. :)
Kind regards,
Rejected games.

Mr. Prepper's Newspaper - Your contribution to the game
Greetings to all preppers around the world!
If you would like to be a part of development and help us with the production this article is for you :) (Not open beta yet! Don't shout at us please).
Mr. Prepper game has a newspaper mechanics. The government inform it's citizens about various things via the newspapers. You, as a Prepper, will need to deal with the information that paper contains and decide how to react. The newspaper will include several types of news; game events, world information etc. but to make our news look real we decided to put some randomized and more ordinary articles inside. For those who are interested not only in things that have an impact on the gameplay there will be sections that provide some stories from the prepper's country.
And here is the deal; if you would like to see your article/news in game this is your chance. We are going to collect your propositions and select the most suitable and most interesting for the setting and put them in game.
Here are some details that you should follow during writing the article:
- Game's world timeline is set at '90s but due to alternate development of the country you feels like it's more like 80' in some aspects.
- The language that is used by the goverment is mostly specific for the totalitarian countries. It's not necessary to force that writing style everywhere but it's good to have that in mind :)
- Topics are free; you can write about anything; funny things, scary stuff, military topics etc. The point is to make it interesting.
- Length of those articles is set from 250 to 600 character limit.
Please send your articles to info@rejectedgames.pl, as a subject of the email please set: "ARTICLE PROPOSITION MR PREPPER" only mails with this subject will be collected.
In case of any questions you can write a comment here or use the forum thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/761830/discussions/0/3020122487776805291/
Thank you and stay prepared!

Mr. Prepper's Release Date
Greetings to all preppers around the world!
The Mr. Prepper game has become very, very popular - We are extremely grateful to the entire prepper community! Thank you guys! Due to this fact we stood before the choice; make the game “acceptable”, release it this year and then try to make it “best” in future patches or… Or make the best game but without rush. It was a hard choice. We read the threads and questions you write on the community, we read them all, we discuss them and we always try to make the game as you want it to be. During the production we have collected many requests in this matter. We asked you “What would you like to see in the game, preppers?” and you gave us a lot of cool ideas. Now it’s time to implement the best of them. The game will become bigger than we expected and hence we would like to ask your for more time. We are fully aware that you are waiting for the game, we are doing our best to make the game worth your attention but still, this process needs time. If you will give us time until May 2019 we will give you good game in return.
In the words of the greatest Shigeru Miyamoto:
“A delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is bad forever.”
Let’s make a good game :)
And here we have some production updates:
The game will soon pass all the internal tests and we will be able to prepare the closed-beta for you. There will be official notification about it and we will ask for your opinion about our product. Also soon we will provide you with some in-game materials such as movies and screens of the new content.
Thank you once again for your patience and stay prepared!
Truly yours
Rejected Games
P.S.
If you want to scream at us now... please do, but not too much :( Don't stress the developers - they are very timid.
Look, Mr. Prepper is also waiting :) (prepared)
