Hello Survivors!🧟

A lot has happened since our last dev update. As you may have seen, we participated in the Steam Next Fest. During this festival, you could play our demo. Thank you very much to all those who played it and left feedback!
We also changed our name - you can read more about it here.
What about game development?
[h2]Day-Night Cycle[/h2]

Our team has worked on the Day-Night Cycle. Apart from visual effects, we also adjusted the enemies. During the night they are stronger and more aggressive. A moon icon appears above the enemies' heads, this way we know that we are dealing with night zombies.



[h2]Cooking[/h2]

When the player approaches the bonfire, the UI will appear, where the player will have the option of cooking “prepare food” or fast traveling “travel”. After selecting “prepare food”, all the food we can bake and we have in our inventory will appear. Then the player just has to select one of them and click "cook".


[h2]Character Customization[/h2]

Express yourself in the game! We added the Character Customization Panel to the main menu. The player can choose skin and hair color, hairstyle and add moustache or/and beard.



In the time since the last dev update, we have also been working on the demo version at Steam Next Fest and on the general optimization of the game. We have also started working on the Steam Deck version.
We encourage you to join our community on Discord !

Add Survival Nation GO to your wishlist.

Hello Survivors! 🧟

We wanted to drop in with some more official news - the name of the game is changing.

The reasoning behind the name change is fairly simple. We wanted the name of the game to be more aligned with what a player's experience will be while they play it. The "GO" title has become associated with mobile games over the last few years and we felt that was not quite the right fit despite our goal of ensuring the game will be playable on the go with a SteamDeck.

After some internal discussion, we decided to go with Survival Nation: Lost Horizon as our new game name. Since the game is a top-down experience, you will never see the horizon. 😉

With the name change comes a few other updates such as brand new logo and new social links. All of our socials have been updated with the new name so to find us, please use the links below!

Thank you everyone for your continued support and all your feedback.

[hr][/hr]
For those of you who may not know, having a game publisher like Freedom Games greatly helps indie devs like ourselves focus on game development while they handle all the behind-the-scenes magic. From helping manage store pages to crafting marketing campaigns and even helping the game shine at both digital and live events, publishers help in all the aspects that indie developers often struggle with.

Freedom Games has a deep understanding of our game's genre and target audience which aligns with our vision. This ensures that our game will be handled by a team with a genuine passion for the project. Their expertise makes them a perfect match for us and we deeply believe that this cooperation will help interested players discover the game.

Thank you everyone for your continued support and all your feedback.
