Outbreak Island News

[h2]Hello mystery hunters![/h2]

It's been a long time since we've reported on the progress in development and it's time to share: we will tell you about redesigned locations, crafting, the car, and much more.

[h2]Redesigned locations[/h2]

We rework and improve locations. If you played Outbreak Island: Pendulum, you might remember the location with the player base.



Here's what it looks like now: a large area with several buildings. Here, you can find loot, uncover a few secrets, and use the garage to repair or upgrade your vehicle. Additionally, this location features a weapons crafting station.











The farm you may have seen in previous trailers now serves as the main player base. Here, you sleep, eat, store items, upgrade equipment, craft, and much more.
Initially, the house will be in ruins, giving you the opportunity to restore it as you progress.







[h2]Crafting[/h2]

On the farm, there's an old crafting station where you can create tools, unlocking new crafting recipes.



This workstation is now much improved: it has more tools and more options to choose between. Each tool is represented visually and you can see it in the world on the tool board.



We are expanding the crafting possibilities by adding new recipes, tools, and structures that you can rebuild. In the future, additional tables will be available for creating more complex items.





[h2]Your car [/h2]

Your car will become an ideal companion in your survival on the island. It will help you traverse across large territories, transport crafting materials, and carry supplies for survival. Your mobility and ability to survive will be directly linked to your car.



However, the car needs regular servicing and refueling. You will have to plan your travels carefully, take gas tanks with you and keep an eye on the condition of the car. Regular service and timely refueling will allow you to avoid unpleasant surprises in the most unlikely places on the island.

⚡ [h2]Hello, Survivors[/h2]

Introducing the action side of Outbreak Island in our new gameplay video!

But first, a few words about the new monster:

• Moves quickly, piercing space ~
  
• Shoots energy pulses that can be countered with weapon attacks!
  

You will also see the final view of the Garage and the New location of the Armory and Shooting Range.

[h2]We thank you for your support and positive feedback![/h2]

By constantly improving, the game world continues to move closer to a balanced survival experience.

[h3]Be patient![/h3]
We'll be sharing more details about what's happening behind the scenes very soon.

⚡The first thing we need to know before heading to the Island is that there is Life on it!


In addition to potential encounters with armed units of local military forces that have taken control of half of the Island, we will face inexplicable phenomena in the form of terrifying monsters that appear literally out of nowhere.

This is facilitated by the presence of a secret laboratory hidden deep in the crater of an extinct volcano.


Every night, the Emerald Ray illuminates the stormy sky with an emerald flash.
The nature of this phenomenon has not been fully studied, but we know for sure - at this time, flashes of emerald color randomly occur across the island and creepy monsters appear in their place. More detailed information will be provided on site upon arrival. We recommend that you find a safe and comfortable place until you receive the following instructions.

One of the properties of the Emerald Ray is to activate electricity on the island. Use this privilege wisely. Harvest fuel for transport and generators, utilizing heavy machinery for processing resources.



But remember! On a random night, instead of the Emerald Ray, the Amber Ray appears and it is very dangerous! Stock up on ammunition and stay at home.


We don’t advise anyone to go out on a night like this.

It was nicknamed the Amber Portal by the first Survivors, whose hidden treasures are legendary!
But not everyone is destined to find them.. At this dangerous time, monsters with redoubled force attack the world of the Island from flash portals. And according to the latest data from our investigation team, the amount of valuable loot is also increasing.
But be extremely careful! If you come too close to the Amber Portal (of course, if you are still alive, because the monsters from there are much more powerful than those from the Emerald Flashes), you will immediately be teleported to the harsh winter expanses of Amber Peak Mountain.
And from there, few people returned intact.


When a beam of super-powerful electromagnetic energy bursts forth from the depths of the Emerald and Amber Peaks, it attracts all air and water transport to the Epicenter of the Outburst, resulting in many interesting places to explore both on the island and underwater nearby.


Have you ever dived to the bottom of a frozen mountain lake in search of high-level loot among the underwater graveyard of military helicopters?



AND FIFTH!
Use your observational skills to search for caches, secret locations, missing ships, military bunkers, and the island's Main Mystery!
Collect a map, navigate by the marks, and if you get lost in the forest wilderness, the hunting towers will serve as a guide for you.
After all, no matter what difficulties await us on Outbreak Island, we will definitely cope!⚡

[h2]Hello, Survivors! [/h2]

Today we have something to share! On the eve of winter, when the wind is blowing stronger each time and the sun becomes less and less, it's time to summarize the summer.

Let's start with the most important thing - Yes-yes, we are alive, everything is fine! Of course, in game development, the concept of "fine" is stretchable, and we certainly face difficulties that sometimes seem insurmountable.

But time puts everything in its place. And here we are already on the verge of what we can proudly show you and say - "Here it is, Outbreak. Just as it was originally conceived."



Over the past few months, we have seen a disheartening picture - the release of some good games was overshadowed by mixed reviews against the background of "poor optimization". Of course, this is a complex concept, in which the deterioration of graphics is not a panacea. Rather, a finely tuned balance of settings and presets that allow you to get a comfortable and impressive game experience.



That's why we are optimizing Outbreak for Steam Deck from the outset, to guarantee you a minimum survival experience on virtually any device! *(In accordance with minimum requirements, of course).

A lot of work has been carried out to develop the initial survival experience on the Island. Also, our new car physics allows you to get sensations close to real ones from driving and overload.




We've made a big leap in graphics and game world design, now it's time to bring all of this together with the key mechanics of the game. Ah, it's so exciting!




[h2]Oh yes, the Bunker! [/h2]
Updated, multi-level, full of puzzles, dangers, and valuable loot! You can only get in by passing a military base at night, when the Emerald Flash lights up the dark stormy sky and powers the bunker doors. If, of course, you can first withstand the updated soldiers' forces on the Island. On the surface, you are awaited by adventures no less exciting than underground.

[h2]But what else will be on the Island?[/h2]


Due to extreme weather conditions, part of the island remains flooded.
Explore underwater and underground locations in search of hidden treasures!


Here's something new! Restore and improve your home, turning it into a secure and cozy place.



Assemble a car in the garage to your liking! And in the workshop, you can make all sorts of cool stuff for it :)

[h3]So much more! We saved the best for last :)
Stay tuned for updates, add the game to your wishlist, and see you soon![/h3]

We are slowly but surely moving towards our goal - to invite each of you to the Island, full of thrilling adventures, adrenaline-pumping battles, and cozy evenings on the farm with a barbecue.

Here the stubborn survive;)
