Hello Prisoners!

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

Welcome back to another devlog for Prison Survival!

First of all – HUGE thanks to everyone who's currently participating in the playtests! You're helping us a ton, and your feedback is pure gold!





So yes – in our game, survival isn’t just about keeping your head down and avoiding bad looks. It’s also about making connections. Trading snacks for favors. Swapping meds for smokes. Smuggling in that “very illegal but very needed” item past the guards without getting your face reintroduced to the floor.

Trade in real prisons is a whole ecosystem, and we’re building our little prison system too!



BUT! In the current playtest, this system is only lightly represented. Think of it as a little teaser - just a taste.
The real dirty deals are coming in the demo and the full release, where we’ll be introducing deeper trade mechanics, more contraband "items", and more “creative” ways to sneak them past the guards.

Remember "Freeman" from the last devlog? He is one of the traders!

Let’s be honest, what’s prison life without a little chaos and a guy trying to sell you painkillers wrapped in toilet paper?

Catching with "stuff" can occur in worse punishment than ever!

Thanks again for playing, testing. More devlogs soon!

Take care, inmates!

Prison Survival is a first-person prison stealth-action game set in a semi-open prison environment.
You’re free to explore – but some areas are off-limits.
Enter a Restricted Area, and guards or security cameras will be on your tail.
If they catch you – you're sent back to a checkpoint.

You can run, hide, or use parkour to escape – climb pipes, ledges, or sneak through ventilation shafts. You can also fight other inmates with your fists!

The art style is slightly stylized, but we’re keeping the gritty prison atmosphere: gangs, drugs, fights, foul language, and the daily grind of prison life!

[/p][p]
You work for a prison boss. Your job? Smuggle contraband – drugs, weapons, and other illegal items.
Pick up orders, avoid or take down guards, use parkour, disable cameras, fight rival inmates, deliver the goods and get back to your cell and go to sleep ;)

You can also buy helpful tools (like lockpicks, remote camera disablers, or a map), or train parkour in a dedicated area!

Hello Prisoners!

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

Welcome back to another devlog for Prison Survival!

We’ve been cooking up some new inmates for Prison Survival, and today we want to share a behind-the-scenes look at one of our most unexpected creations...







So, one of our talented artists was sculpting a new inmate in Blender. Things were going fine - until we zoomed out and realized... HE LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE.

The resemblance was uncanny - calm expression, wise eyes, and that unmistakable character.
Naturally, we did the only logical thing: We named him “Jailman.”





In the process, we experimented with different hair options - fully bald? Short curls? Gray sideburns?

We even made a before and after comparison image we call.






On the technical side:

-Facial rigging for realistic expressions

-Blendshapes for aging effects (wrinkles, subtle eye bags)

-Modular hair support for future inmates

We’re building systems so characters can look unique - and occasionally, unintentionally famous!


Take care, inmates!
