Hello, Survivors!
This week we focused on service mechanics. We improved the toolkit for game designers, enhanced the game's save system, and refined the crash reporting system.

Game Design Toolkit
To develop a game, it is not enough to create beautiful graphics and interesting mechanics. A rich set of tools for game development is needed. These tools help developers manage the game conveniently and quickly. This week, we were engaged in developing and improving such tools. And not only that.

Save System
We have added several levels of protection for game saves. This system is usually invisible, but it plays a huge role for all of us, the players. Imagine you won the hardest raid, collected valuable resources, and significantly upgraded your character... - and all these achievements are not saved. This is a very frustrating and sad situation. To avoid such situations, we periodically improve our save system. It is just as important as the reporting system.

Reports System
We have refined and configured the report submission system. Now, in case of a game crash, a window will appear offering to send a report. You can choose any option: send a report with information about the crash; do not send a report. We only need technical information that can help understand the causes of the game's malfunction.

Best regards,
Midhard Games Team

And this is how we created the Kamikaze enemy

Adrenaline Injection
In a few weeks, a special version of the game will be available. Format - Prologue. This version will be something like an extended demo. It will be free.

The goal of Adrenaline Injection is to discuss the main game with you. All these months we have been discussing the "beginning" of the game. Most players like the beginning, and it will remain approximately the same.
The extended demo will have about 3-7 hours of content. Based on the results of extended testing, we will make changes to the main version of the game.

By the way, why do you think we chose this name - Adrenaline Injection? - You can write your ideas in the community - https://steamcommunity.com/app/2419720/discussions/
