Devlog From Behind The Bars #21 - From Bars to Vents

Hello Prisoners!

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

Welcome back to another devlog for Prison Survival!
Today we’re crawling through the vents (literally) to talk about one of the most exciting - and risky -parts of prison life: sneaking around when you’re not supposed to.

🕳️ The Vent Life


Every good prison story needs a bit of air circulation and a lot of bad ideas.
That’s why we’ve added vent systems that players can actually use to sneak between areas.
They’re tight, dark, and claustrophobic - perfect for late-night adventures or desperate escapes.



🌙 Night Moves


But watch out: vents creak, metal echoes, and some guards have ears sharper than your courage.
When the lights go out, the prison changes.
Patrols tighten up, cameras sweep slower, and if you’re smart (and quiet), you might just find paths you’d never see during the day.



👮 The Snitches & The Watchers


You can slip out to steal, explore, or meet up with other inmates who don’t exactly follow “lights out” rules. Of course… if you get caught, let’s just say morning roll call will be awkward.



🌒 “Shh… Don’t Wake the Guards”


Vents aren’t your only problem - snitches exist, and they love to talk. Some inmates will sell your secrets for a candy bar or an extra smoke. Others might cover for you… for a price.



Take care, inmates!

Devlog From Behind The Bars #20 Life Behind polygons and behind bars

Hello Prisoners!

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

Welcome back to another devlog for Prison Survival!

🧍 Life Behind Polygons


Meet the Inmates

We’ve started building our prisoners in 3D, complete with unique looks, animations, and a touch of personality. Some are tough, some are nervous wrecks, some… well, you wouldn’t trust them with your lunch tray.



🛠️ How We Made Them


Our team’s been busy sculpting, rigging, and animating. Making sure they look gritty enough for prison life, but expressive enough to tell their own stories.
You’ll notice scars, tattoos, and little details that hint at who they were before the bars closed in.

I think he lost something in priosn riot...

🤝 More Than NPCs


Prisoners and other NPCs aren’t just background extras. They’re allies, rivals, snitches, gang members… and sometimes your only friend when things get rough. Each one can change your survival path in ways you don’t expect.
Every character is more than just a skin. They’re part of the living, breathing (and occasionally fighting) ecosystem inside the prison.

Awaken my inmates!

Take care, inmates!

Devlog From Behind The Bars #19 Concrete Nightmares: Mapping the Prison

Hello Prisoners!

Welcome back to another devlog for Prison Survival!

This week, we’re zooming out - way out - to talk not about cells or guards, but about the prison itself.
The walls, the corridors, the hidden corners where trouble brews… that’s the stage where all your survival stories unfold.

🏛️ Inspired by the "Real Thing"


We didn’t just throw some walls together and call it a prison. Nope - we studied real layouts of correctional facilities. From cell blocks to cafeteria lines, our design is rooted in reality.



it’s about how the space shapes your choices. A long corridor means you’re exposed. A blind corner means opportunity. And that giant yard? It’s either your playground… or your battlefield.



🏗️ Concrete Nightmares


We’re excited to show you some early engine shots of the prison layout.
Think of it as a blueprint come to life – blocky, raw, but full of potential. You’ll see how the different zones (cells, cafeteria, yard, workshops) connect, and maybe even start imagining your escape routes already ;)



🖼️ A Peek Behind the Bars

Of course here you can see very early stage of development but in next devlogs im gonna show you some more detailed views. Prison in full version will be really different from a facility you saw in our playtests.
Until then, study the maps layout carefully… survival favors the prepared.

Take care, inmates!

Devlog From Behind The Bars #18 Guards - friend or foe?

Hello Prisoners!

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

Welcome back to another devlog for Prison Survival!
This time we’re shining the spotlight on the people who make sure your prison “staycation” doesn’t get too comfy… the guards.

Guards




They patrol the halls, they break up fights, they yell at you for no reason (or at least it feels that way).
But in Prison Survival, guards aren’t just background - they’re a whole faction in the prison ecosystem.



We’ve added different types of guards, each with their own quirks, routines. Some are strict, some are lazy, and some might even look the other way if you’ve got the right connections.

Friend or Foe?


Here’s the twist: guards aren’t just enemies. They can be allies too. Sure, they’re the 4th “gang” in our little prison world, and yeah, they’ll happily bust you if you’re up to trouble…



…but bribe the right one, run errands, or simply earn their trust, and suddenly you’ve got protection, privileges, and maybe even a guard who “forgets” to lock a door.

It is not easy to be a prison guard. But you wanna try? Play Prison Simulator - i heard it's a good game ;)

Take care, inmates!

Devlog From Behind The Bars #17 Prison Cells

Hello Prisoners!

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

Welcome back to another devlog for Prison Survival!

Time for another update straight from the cell block!
In this devlog, we’re going behind bars (literally) to talk about… prison cells. Yep, the cozy little rooms you’ll be calling home in Prison Survival.

[h2]🛏️ Beds, Desks & More[/h2]
We’ve been working hard on building the furniture you’ll find in your cell. Beds, desks, lockers – all the essential “I-live-here-now” items (no gaming consoles, sorry)

And yes… the bed is technically for sleeping, but let’s be honest: it’s mostly for plotting your next great escape. 😏



[h2]🧻 The Legendary Toilet Paper[/h2]

It’s not just hygiene - it’s sometimes a currency, it’s treasure, it’s a symbol of hope. Collect it, hoard it, trade it… just don’t ask how it got so valuable.



[h2]🎨 How We Made It[/h2]
We put extra love into creating the assets for your prison life:

Beds that look just uncomfortable enough
It’s the small details that make the cell feel alive (or at least survivable)!

You can see a progress in this short gif

[h2]🚪 What’s Next?[/h2]
Next time, we’ll share more about life outside the cell – yard time, trading, and maybe a little chaos in the cafeteria.


Take care, inmates!
