Weekly Report #92
[h3]Hello Stalkers![/h3]
In the recent reports we've devoted a lot of space to what’s going on behind the scenes of Chernobylite. And as you well know, the vast majority of what we're showing you in the reports is in the game, sometimes on a 1:1 scale, sometimes in a slightly altered form. But as you'll see, there are also things that players don't know exist. And discovering them by yourselves takes some time.
Today we’re going to help you a bit by showing some of the hidden gems in the game. Maybe thanks to this we’ll encourage you to explore the Zone even deeper. Who knows what you will find there?
[h3]How has Chernobylite changed?[/h3]
Before we get to the main menu, we encourage you to check out the Steam post below. We think it’s a real treat for those curious to see how Chernobylite has changed over the past 2+ years. Starting from entering the Early Access until its official launch. We are not sentimental people ourselves but the movie you find there evokes good memories!

[h3]Time to search![/h3]
It's time to talk about what is "not seen" at first glance in Chernobylite. We'll start with the very beginning of the game. Each of you knows this scene: Igor and the crew come to the vicinity of the Power Plant and try to get into it. However, have you ever wondered what would happen if Igor… didn’t want to participate in the mission? If you return to the car after watching the cut-scene with the exploding power plant, this will happen:
As you can see, sometimes it's worth breaking the rules. You never know what you can find with it.
But we also know that this doesn't always work and sometimes players need a hint. Here's one: look at the photos of Igor's crew members. If you think that we hired professional models for the photo shoot... you’re very wrong. In the photos you’ll find the faces of The Farm 51 team. These are the charms of a small, independent studio.
Finally, one curiosity that you will not find in the game. And for a good reason. Putting your faces to the game is one thing. But there was a time when we thought you might hear us too. As you know, you can hear English and Russian voices in the game. We also planned to record dialogue lines in Polish. Unfortunately, such recording sessions with voice actors are expensive, and we wanted English and Russian voice overs the most. That’s why we decided that... we would record these lines ourselves. We are Poles, we speak Polish. So it can't be hard, right? Well… it is. The end result was far from perfect, to say the least. Eventually, we abandoned this idea. Again, that's the charm of a small, independent studio...
We hope you enjoyed the stories. Now go on, stalkers! There are many other things in the game just waiting to be discovered.
[h3]That's it for today![/h3]
Take care, Stalkers!
