Devlog From Behind The Bars #12 - Traversal shenanigans

Hello Prisoners!

Stand up! Be quiet! Your fav CO is speaking! ;)

Welcome back to another devlog for Prison Survival!

Eyes up! No, seriously - look up! Because you're gonna need those reflexes sharpened!

We've been busy upgrading the ledge-grabbing and pipe-movement mechanics.
You can now grip onto narrow ledges like a true escape artist, swing across pipes

He’s climbing WHAT now?




We’ve reworked the climbing code and polished transitions between movement states.
Basically it is: Ledge >> Pipe >> Ledge transitions
We even implemented smarter auto-grabs but don't worry: all hard work in moving aroudn priosner is still on YOUR side!

"Hands where I can see ‘em!"


Fluid jumps between pipes and ledges
Jumping from one pipe to another, or from pipe to ledge, now feels much more natural and responsive.

In the game ingine environment

Well-aimed "prison parkour" move !

How it looks in-game

Thanks for climbing through this update with us!

Stay strong, stay sneaky, and don’t forget: the walls have eyes… and sometimes they’re cameras.

Take care, inmates!

Devlog From Behind The Bars #11 Showers - a water level in prison?

Hello Prisoners!

Stand up! Be quiet! Your fav CO is speaking! ;)

Welcome back to another devlog for Prison Survival!

Today, we’re diving deep (not literally, we hope) into one of the most essential but often overlooked aspects of prison life: HYGIENE!

Plus, let’s talk about sinks, toilets, and how water (or the lack of it) can shape the prison experience.


"Those damned Water Levels!"


Prisoners need showers, but not all of them enjoy it. Some see it as a social event, others as a necessary evil. You can use shower to hide from guards, prefom some off-scene activities or relieve yourself (and your psyche)



Skibidi Toilet


Ever seen a grown man fight over a toilet? In our game, you will.
Not only are toilets essential for hygiene and morale, but their placement can become a tactical power move.
Who gets stuck with the one that barely even flushes?
Important but often overlooked thing!



Psychology of Cleanliness

It’s not just about looking (and smelling) good. Hygiene has a direct impact on a prisoner’s mental state. A clean, well-maintained prison can reduce tensions, while filth and neglect lead to unrest.
in every cell there are sinks that ALWAYS works.
If you for some reason can't go to showers: use this to clean your prisoner a little. Reduce your stress.
Hey, its always something!





Take care, inmates!

Devlog From Behind The Bars #10 Creating "old boy" prisoner

Hello Prisoners!

Stand up! Be quiet! Your fav CO is speaking! ;)

Welcome back to another devlog for Prison Survival!
Today, we're unveiling a legend - an inmate so dangerous, even the guards hesitate before crossing him. Meet "Old boy".

"Laugh and the world laughs with you"


We wanted to create old prisoner who feel like the final boss of prison wisdom.
Not just some frail old-timer, but a battle-worn survivor - this guy seen countless riots, betrayals, and prison escapes. And somehow, he’s still here!



"Weep and you weep alone"


Oh, and those slight Asian features?
Think classic old-school action hero meets underground crime lord.



Story


He’s been locked up longer than anyone remembers.
Some say he was here before the prison even existed. Others whisper that he let himself get caught…
Maybe something dangerous is awaiting him on the outside?

"If they had told me it was going to be fifteen years, would it have been easier to endure?"

Inspirations and progress


-Old martial arts masters
-Real-life inmates who never break character
-Retro action heroes



Take care, inmates!
