MISERY News

[p][/p][p]Hello Survivors! Please hear the message from the Zaslavie Administration.[/p][p]We just launched a new update introducing a pack of new content and lots of Quality of Life features and bug fixes.[/p][p][/p][p]Here is what has changed in the Zone:[/p][p][/p]

• [p]Text Chat! While it is great to hear your comrades voice, now you can also communicate with text. Just hit Enter and send your message, and nearby people will see it.[/p]
• [p]Whistle indicator upgrade. Now you can see the whistle direction even if the person is out of your screen. It is much more convenient to navigate.[/p]
• [p]Crematorium upgrade. Now you can burn EVERYTHING. All the unwanted items will be turned to ashes inside this beast.[/p]
• [p]Furniture pickup confirmation. No more accidental destruction. Once placed, you need to confirm that you want to pick it up. On pickup, all the items that were inside the container will be placed in a bag nearby.[/p]
• [p]Buzzing flies fix. If there are no items left on the corpse, they will fly away. Smart.[/p]
• [p]Flinch (camera shake on impact) is reduced. Now it won’t be that bad when you catch a bullet. But we still recommend avoiding that. The Zaslavie Ministry of Health warns that lead exposure causes health problems.[/p]
• [p]The bug where you could not create a new server after exiting to the main menu is fixed. Now you can.[/p]
• [p]New points of interest in Village and City biomes.[/p]
• [p]New wearable items.[/p]

• [p]Trees and ground collision in anomalies fixed.[/p]
• [p]New garage cooperative buildings.[/p]

Tomorrow will bring more good news, so stay tuned, and thank you for your amazing support, comrades![/p][p][/p][p]For Zaslavie![/p]

[p][/p][p]Survivors, listen up, we have amazing news![/p][p][/p][p]We finally fixed the bug that caused the sudden FPS drops when jumping or playing the game for a long time.[/p][p][/p][p]Now you should have smooth and stable performance! It was a tricky bug in the game logic that caused the problem on some PCs. We know how uncomfortable this was, and we thank you for your patience while we fixed it.[/p][p][/p][p]Together with this major fix, we are releasing a pack of fixes and new features you asked us to add:[/p]

1. [p]You can now consume items directly from the inventory.[/p]

[p]We are now working on a big content update in December and fixing the remaining annoying bugs - map desyncs and Esc crashes, plus various QoL features and fixes that we will release from time to time in-between big updates.[/p][p][/p][p]We read all the comments and suggestions, and we now have a list of about 100 features and requests besides our main roadmap.[/p][p][/p][p]Please continue, it is very valuable. And it is your responsibility as citizens of Zaslavie![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]We also wanted to ask you to nominate MISERY for Steam Awards 2025 if you have not yet. This is a very important event, and it gives games a lot of visibility and helps cut through the noise and big marketing budgets of AAA games. We still have some time before the nomination phase ends on Monday. So take this chance to nominate and support games you love![/p][p][/p][p]There are many great games you can nominate, and our goal is to make it into the top 5 to reach the next round. Some games already have a big audience and will be nominated guaranteed, but for new games like MISERY, we need a little push from our players to get there. So think about it not as if MISERY is the best game of all, but should it have a chance to be nominated?[/p][p][/p][p]https://store.steampowered.com/steamawards/nominations/2025[/p][p][/p][p]We appreciate your support.[/p][p][/p][p]For Zaslavie![/p]

[p][/p][p]Citizens of Zaslavie,[/p][p][/p][p]It has been a month since MISERY was released on Steam, and since then, against all odds, many survivors have tried their luck in the Zaslavie Exclusion Zone. This is simply incredible, and we are thankful for each one of you![/p][p][/p][p]We are most proud of our strong and active community! You voted for us at the DevGAMM awards, and we won. You helped us return MISERY to Steam. You are posting literally thousands of feedback comments and suggestions for new features and content, and we read and listen.[/p][p][/p][p]While we are preparing the big update in December, now is the time to show the spirit of Zaslavie once again![/p][p][/p][p]If you like MISERY, please nominate it for the Steam Game Awards 2025.[/p][p]There are many categories, and "Better with Friends" is the best category for MISERY and where it truly fits the nomination.[/p][p][/p][p]The Steam Awards is an important event that gives games a lot of visibility, and it really is a popular vote where players nominate and vote for games they love. It is especially important for indie games.[/p][p][/p][p]This year was phenomenal. There were many awesome games, and we genuinely loved and enjoyed many of them. What is so cool to see is that indie games from smaller, independent creative teams are actually winning without big teams and massive marketing budgets. And it is 100% deserved to see them getting the recognition they deserve![/p][p][/p][p]So please, nominate MISERY in the "Better with Friends" category and vote for the games you enjoyed in 2025![/p][p][/p][p]Zaslavie will remember you and your support.[/p]
