Tunguska: The Visitation - Enhanced Edition News

I'm proud to introduce a feature I've been working on for a month: random airdrop events! Basically, some rich dude in the Zone ordered an airdrop supply, and the whole Zone is gonna snatch it from him! It will happen every 7-14 days (in-game), and once you see the announcement, you have a few hours to rush to the airdrop location and find it before the looters come.

If you get there before the looters, the whole package (and all the goodies inside) is yours! But if you are late, you'll have to fight the looters to access the airdrop. The looters and the package content are level-scaled based on your game progression. So later in the game you'll face tougher looters and higher level items in the package.

And of course, if you are way too late (like 12 hours to 24 hours late), the package will be wiped clean and you'll have to wait for the next event to happen.


At this point I'm going to put the game on feature lock and work on upgrading the engine version. I hope all goes well with it :)

The Continental Rangers are cooking up some BBQ for Labor Day! If you just started a new game, the BBQ will begin on the 4th day at midnight and you'll get a notification. If you are in the middle of the playthrough, you will get the notification in the next midnight. The BBQ party will last 10 in-game days.

A new fridge is added in the Continental Rangers camp, and you can put raw meat in it (talk to Larry about it) during the BBQ party, and they will automatically turn into cooked BBQ dishes in the big smoker outside.

Other changes included in this update:

- Visitations will now make all the ghouls in the current map very powerful. After the Visitation is over, the ghouls will act more aggressively, melee very fast, has double health, and deal double damage. But if you don't kill them, the next Visitation will make them even more powerful, doubling their health again.

- Added a radio in the player house in Ravenwood. It'll show up when you purchase either the couch or the desk. The radio will play some nice country music.

- Improved various gamepad navigation controls in the main menu

- Improved UI visibility for small screens such as Steam Deck

- The game will try to detect Steam Deck when you run the game the first time, and set the correct control method, UI size, and resolution

- Completing Dead Zone mode will grant you Nightmare achievement as well

- Fixed a geometry stuck issue in the editor's office

- Added a timer to check if player is stuck in "switching weapon" state for too long, and just clear the state for player. This might help with the rare occasions where player is stuck in switching weapon state indefinitely.
