Chernobylite Complete Edition News

Weekly Report #187

[h3]Hello Stalkers![/h3]
We understand that it's not always possible for you to stay up-to-date with everything happening around Chernobylite. Social media does not always help with this due to its dynamic nature. In short: information appears quickly and just as swiftly disappears in the depths of the Internet. That's why we decided to revisit an old idea and re-launched the Chernobylite newsletter, with aim to provide you with all the news related to the game and... other things that we can't tell you yet. But most importantly, we want to be in constant contact with you!



Every month, you can expect our original newsletter delivered to your inbox. In it you will find a subjective review of reports, both from the past month and previous years (this is for people who haven’t had the opportunity to see previous materials about the creation of Chernobylite), a review of videos from our YouTube channel and any announcements and information about what we do and what we're going to do in the future.



The initial tests of the newsletter were successful. So if you haven't had a chance yet, we encourage you to subscribe. There is already a lot going on, but in the very near future we intend to provide you with more and more exclusive content, not available anywhere else, via the newsletter.



Let us know what you think about it. Maybe you have ideas about what else you would like to receive in the newsletter?

[h3]That's it for today![/h3]
Take care, Stalkers!

Weekly Report #186

[h3]Hello Stalkers![/h3]
Olga, the guardian of the Red Forest, the caretaker of abandoned homesteads, a guide for those searching for their place on Earth, and a defender of the weakest. We have dedicated a substantial portion of our reports to this unassuming yet extraordinary individual. The last time we delved into this was when we provided you with a behind-the-scenes look at her creation – from the initial concept, through its gradual evolution, to the final result. If you want to read more about it, check out the report below:

Olga's appearance also underwent a gradual metamorphosis. Although from the very beginning we modeled her on characters from movies, such as Ellen Ripley from "Alien", Furiosa from "Mad Max" or Sarah Connor from "Terminator". On the one hand, militant and brave, on the other - firmly on the ground and having a head on her shoulders.

The most challenging and debated aspect of her appearance was her hairstyle. Specifically, there were three key elements under scrutiny: length, style, and color. Should she have long or short hair? Should it be light or dark, bleached, braided (one or two braids), or left loose? Like concept sketches. Believe us, what you see below is just a small part of all the ideas we had for Olga's hair.



The outfit was a bit better. We had an image of a specific type of character in our minds: a respectable leader who is dependable and who knows how to navigate dangerous terrain. That's why she had to look a bit like a survivalist and a bit like a warrior. And most importantly: the outfit must be comfortable to be able to move around the most difficult areas.



The choice was not easy, but we managed to find a compromise in the form of a long dark coat with a hood. This outfit had two advantages. Firstly, it allowed to cement Olga's image as the "spirit of the Red Forest", which moves unnoticed in the field. Secondly, this garment eliminates the problem of hair waving in the wind. Believe it or not, this is the biggest pain for any programmer and animator around the world. There are always ways to avoid the daunting task of animating the hair so that it behaves naturally depending on the intensity of the wind. We chose the simplest solution: we hid Olga's head in a hood. Thus, we managed to combine style with usability.

Please share your thoughts in the comments: Does this choice suit you? Or do you have your own preferences? What else could the guardian of the Red Forest look like?

[h3]That's it for today![/h3]

Weekly Report #185

[h3]Hello Stalkers![/h3]
We present to you the second part of our summer video review from our official YouTube channel!

Let's start with the new video that appeared on the channel:

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Now to the point. We have another history lesson for you. Like, for example, a series dedicated to Anatoly Dyatlov - the man who is accused of causing the disaster at the power plant. What's the truth?

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

We also told the story of liquidators - people who sacrificed their health and lives to remove the effects of the disaster.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

We also devoted a lot of time to places that you can visit in Chernobylite, such as Kopachi, Red Forest or Pripyat.

We move from history to science. In this section, we took a look at the RBMK. We showed e.g. what did it look like, how did it work and what led to the explosion?

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Finally, we answer questions about the radiation around Chernobyl itself…

…and we talk about other events that took place in Chernobyl even before the power plant exploded.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

And that's it! We hope you enjoyed these videos. You can be sure that we are not stopping there - we still have a lot of material to use. As always, we encourage you to subscribe to our channel and let us know in the comments what topics you want us to cover in future videos.

Weekly Report #184

[h3]Hello Stalkers![/h3]
Even though the holiday season is in full swing and we try to rest as much as we can, work is still in progress! We can't wait to show off the results of it. Believe us, there will be plenty to show.

Today, however, we want to give you a little respite. After all, it's summer, the sun mercilessly heats our backs and necks, so you can't get tired. And nothing relaxes like a good movie, maybe even a few. And we know where to find them.

As you well know, we've revitalized our YouTube channel (we encourage you to subscribe *wink wink*) with fresh videos appearing almost every week. After a few months, the channel swelled strongly from the videos we have prepared for you. Of course, we realize that it is impossible to keep up with them all the time. That is why today and in the next report we would like to present to you a subjective list of original materials about Chernobyl that are worth watching and which you may have missed.

For a good start, we recommend a series of videos answering the question: what is true and what is fiction? We are talking here about comparing the events that took place in reality with how they were presented in the popular HBO series.

In these videos, we look at the most popular myths that have been created about Chernobyl over the years. Can you come across mutants in the Exclusion Zone? Is humanity threatened by an epidemic of a mutated fungus that turns everyone into zombies? See for yourself!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Another question related to the topic of the meaning of words. What is "stalker" really and where did this name come from in pop culture? More importantly, where did the name “Chernobyl” come from?

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

At the end of this section, we present Chernobyl in numbers. If you want to know in brief the effects of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster, we are here to help.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

That's it for today! Next week, we’ll share another portion of our recommendations. And again, we encourage you to subscribe to our channel.

[h3]That's it for today![/h3]
Take care, Stalkers!

Weekly Report #183

[h3]Hello Stalkers![/h3]
Almost a year ago, we dedicated a section of one of our reports to Kopachi. In that report we delved into the history of this location, with a specific emphasis on uncovering the answer to what might be considered the most important question: the origin of the immense mounds of earth nestled within the heart of the forest.

https://steamcommunity.com/games/1016800/announcements/detail/3305103714198476540

Today, much like our approach to other locations, we’re excited to present to you various weather-inspired conceptual artworks depicting Kopachi. It won’t be a surprise to say that Kopachi looks nothing short of phenomenal in these renditions! In fact: we believe that it looks better than Pripyat Port or Moscow Eye, both of which we showcased earlier. Anyway, see for yourself.



Observing these graphics, sometimes it's hard to reconcile the scale of tragedy that happened in this location. However, on the other hand, these artworks exude a gloomy ambiance, which, intensified by the abandoned kindergarten in the background. A view like from a horror movie.

Kopachi has its own unique allure. Especially when the sunlight pierces through the canopy of trees. However, if you look at what our artist skillfully conjured up in Photoshop, it becomes evident that this place fits perfectly in all weather conditions. It is a shame that this place has been destroyed by numerous fires. But it survives virtually thanks to Chernobylite.

[h3]That's it for today![/h3]
Take care, Stalkers!
