Weekly Report #100

[h3]Hello Stalkers![/h3]
We’ve reached the hundredth report! We've come a long way - Report #1, which we released on October 24, 2019, is dedicated to the first week after the game's release in Early Access. A few years later, we celebrated the premiere of the full version of the game, the console release, and the first DLC. A crazy and very tiring journey, but extremely rewarding at the end.

But that doesn't mean we're standing still. We’re very close to the release of the next DLC, in which you’ll find new locations to visit. Can you recognize which place is this?



Of course, this is not the end! If you remember the previous report, we recently went on another trip to Ukraine, to the Chernobyl zone, to collect more materials that we intend to use in the near future.

Do you remember those photos from the first day of our stay - the ones where you can see us taking pictures of the area, nearby buildings, and things left in them? We rummaged a bit on our memory cards, and it turns out that we’ve many more shots documenting our work. We know from experience that you like this type of photos. So we’re sharing them with you.

We had the most work to get photos from nearby buildings. We photographed everything, including every crack in the wall. Where we needed to, we put up the lights.



We also took photos around the buildings.



All day's work, but thanks to it we can recreate these objects in our game in a 1: 1 scale.



In the video below, you can see how this magic works.

As we have already mentioned, our work was not limited only to taking photos, but also recording the sounds of the environment, also inside buildings. Each sound designer will tell you how important it is to record the sounds of nature not only in the field, but also in a room with walls. All this to reflect reality in the smallest possible detail.



We do a similar process around the chimney…



...and its interior.



Has the performance of such titanic work (and in the cold) paid off? You will find out about it soon.

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

Weekly Report #99

[h3]Hello Stalkers![/h3]
If you think that our job consists only of sitting at our desks and typing lines of code on the keyboard, you are wrong. Do you remember our behind-the-scenes materials from the creation of Chernobylite? We made several trips to Chernobyl to collect a lot of photos and videos, which then served as the basis for our game. Then came the pandemic and we had to suspend our trips to this place ...

UNTIL TODAY!

As you can remember from our roadmap, we plan to release a lot of new content for Chernobylite in the near future. And no, we're not just talking about weapon skins. We’ve got something bigger in the works.When the borders have been reopened we went to Chernobyl fto gather a new batch of materials. We’re already using it in our work! Join us on this journey.

But before you pack up and leave the apartments, we have a request for you. We’d greatly appreciate it if you’d nominate us for the ‘Outstanding Story-Rich Game’ category in the 2021 Steam Awards! Every vote counts - yours in particular!

Before setting off for all-day photo sessions and looking for atmospheric spots, you should eat something. After all, breakfast is the most important meal of the day.



If you spot such a card, it is a sign that you are in the right place.



We've reached our destination.



We saw some familiar objects on the spot…



...and said “hello” to some old friends.



Before we threw ourselves into work for good, we decided to visit familiar areas.



We even managed to capture some pictures of the local fauna.



Last group photos…



...also the less serious ones…



...and the crew can go to work.



The first leg of the expedition: taking photos and videos of the interior of the buildings. On the walls and doors you can see fresh traces of people who must have visited these places recently.



We photographed not only the walls, but also some stuff left behind by the inhabitants. These are vital parts of the history of these places.



The next point: fieldwork. We focused on the area around the chimney, as well as inside it. Apart from taking photos, we also recorded the sounds of the surroundings. Yes, almost everything you hear in the Chernobylite soundtrack comes from the real world.



The day is almost over. Last photos, last recordings.



We also caught a beautiful sunset.



Photos and recordings lasted until evening. However, we took the opportunity and, under the cover of the night, we also revisited some iconic locations known to us (and also to you).



We also managed to find a completely new spot - a supermarket!



Of course, we follow all the safety procedures every time we enter and leave the Zone.



A new day and new tasks. This time we visited a completely different spot.



Don't be deceived by the appearance, for interesting locations outside of Chernobyl can also serve as a reference material.



Last, but not least:obligatory photos with goats. :)



Upon our return, we started working on the new content for Chernobylite that we promised you. You can see just a tiny bit in the form of the graphics below.



We promise that this is just the beginning.

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

Weekly Report #98

[h3]Hello Stalkers![/h3]
Every day we get a lot of comments about you playing Chernobylite. We’re especially pleased when you write that we’ve effectively scared you. Often you add a screenshot from your favorite spooky location or scenes in the game. But we still didn't have enough: we not only want to read about how spooked you were — we want to see it as well! That's why we spent some time on the internet looking for your reactions to our jumpscares we set on you.

As we sensed, all of you who played Chernobylite for the first time were - to put it mildly - very surprised to see the ghost in the prologue.

But, of course, that wasn't the only thing. Also in the middle of the game there were a lot of moments that made you jump up in your chairs. For example, when this apparition surprised you in the most unobvious place…

alanzoka

...or in an obvious one. ;)

BiddinWar

Or even better: when it appears in the place where it has announced its visit several times.

Puderug

Our famous dolls also played a modest part in giving you shivers down your spine.

Spylaw

However, of all the scenes, you probably like the one with the wardrobe the most. After your reactions, you can see that this moment effectively scared you.

Well, maybe sometimes even a bit too much…

We hope you had a good time on this trip. Because we are for sure. And you can be sure that in the near future there will be more opportunities to scare you even more.
