Dev Log: Weapons

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on improving the weapon system! Here’s what’s new:

[h3]Weapon Types[/h3]
You can use melee weapons for close combat or ranged weapons for long-distance fights. Some weapons have higher or lower range, letting you pick the best option for each situation.



[h3]Crafting & Upgrading[/h3]
You can craft weapons, upgrade them, and create ammo. Improve durability, increase damage, and customize your gear to fit your playstyle. Also you can learn abilities to improve your melee and shooting parameters.



[h3]Exclusive Weapons[/h3]
Rare weapons with special skins and stats can be found in supply boxes or secret locations. Keep exploring to discover them!






[h3]Hit Effects[/h3]
Weapons react differently depending on what you hit—concrete, metal, water, dirt, and more all have unique sounds and visual effects.



[h3]Rocket Launcher, Crossbow & Flamethrower[/h3]
I’m working on adding new weapons - the rocket launcher, crossbow and flamethrower. They’re still in development, but they’ll bring some explosive and fire-based fun to combat!



That’s all for now! Let me know what you think, and if you have any ideas for new weapons or features.

Dev Log: Energy System

[h3]Surviving Without Power[/h3]

[h3]Hey everyone,[/h3]

I wanted to share some exciting updates about the game! As you explore the island, you'll quickly notice something unusual—there’s no regular electricity here. But don’t worry, I’ve designed some unique and fascinating ways for you to power up devices and keep things running. Let me take you through how the island’s energy system works.



[h3]Daytime Power: Generators and Solar Panels[/h3]

During the day, you’ll need to rely on generators and solar panels to power your devices. Generators are a dependable option, but they run on fuel, so make sure to keep those canisters handy for refills. For a more sustainable solution, you can craft solar panels—though they require advanced materials and crafting skills. It’s all about resourcefulness and planning!



[h3]Nighttime Magic: The Mysterious Light Beam[/h3]

Here’s where things get a little strange. At night, a mysterious light beam provides electricity to the entire island. Suddenly, all the streetlights turn on, and every device comes to life without needing a generator or solar panel. It’s an eerie but fascinating phenomenon that adds a touch of mystery to your survival journey. Why does it happen? Well, you’ll have to play to find out.



[h3]Experimental Tech: Red Crystals and the Portal[/h3]

I’m also introducing a new experimental power source—red crystals. Certain devices on the island, like the Portal, are powered by these crystals. To activate the Portal, you’ll need to hunt down and collect five red crystals. Once you’ve powered it up, the Portal can teleport you to a new area on the map—a winter biome with its own unique challenges and opportunities. It’s a game-changer for exploration and survival!



I hope this gives you a better idea of how the island’s energy system works. It’s not just about finding fuel or crafting advanced tech; it’s also about uncovering the mysteries of the island and adapting to its unique environment. I can’t wait to hear what you think about these features. Let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions!

Dev Log: Farming

[h3]Hey everyone![/h3]

I'm excited to share some new farming features that I've been working on for the game. These features are aimed at making your survival experience even more immersive and rewarding. Here’s a quick rundown of what you can expect:

[h3]Building Garden Beds[/h3]

You can now build Garden Beds in your farm location. These beds are perfect for planting and growing a variety of plants. Whether you're looking to grow herbs or vegetables, garden beds are essential for your farming journey.



[h3]Crafting a Farming Station (Shed)[/h3]

One of the new additions is the ability to craft a Farming Station, also known as a shed. Here you will be able to craft new seeds.



[h3]Getting Started with Planting[/h3]

To start planting, you'll need to have seeds and garden soil. You can find seeds throughout the game world or craft them from vegetables and fruits using the Garden Shed with the Farming Station. Garden soil is essential for providing your plants with the nutrients they need to grow.



[h3]Watering Your Plants[/h3]

Once you've planted your seeds, you'll need to add water to help them grow. You can use a bucket to water your plants, ensuring they stay healthy and grow efficiently. Remember to check on them regularly to keep them hydrated!



[h3]Harvesting Your Crops[/h3]

After your plants have finished growing, you can harvest them for eating or cooking. There are several types of plants you can grow, including herbs, beets, cabbage, carrots, eggplants, radishes, potatoes, peppers, berries. Each plant has its own unique benefits and uses, so experiment and find out which ones work best for you.



[h3]Building Greenhouses[/h3]

To enhance your farming experience, you can build Greenhouses. These structures improve the growing conditions and speed up the growth of your plants. Additionally, you can upgrade your farming skills at the Knowledge Station to unlock more farming abilities and optimize your crop production.



Collecting Berries and Mushrooms

While exploring the island, you can also collect berries and mushrooms in the forest. These resources are valuable for crafting, cooking, and survival. Keep an eye out for them during your adventures!
