Survivalist News

Hello, I've now finally added the Steam store page for Survivalist: Invisible Strain!. So you can click Follow on it to make sure you get informed of news updates - though I'll probably post them here as well for the forseeable future.

There's actually now a bunch of different places you can subscribe for Survivalist-related stuff:

• The community have created a Discord channel: https://discord.gg/P8aMp4X
• I've got a Youtube Channel where I post gameplay videos every now and then
  
• I also have a mailing list, you can email me if you want to be added to it.
  

I've also posted a very minor patch for Survivalist, here's what's in it:

• Stop traded backpacks from being deleted
  
• Fix for not being able to complete the game if you don't get the quest from Alice before the Missing storyline ends
  
• Small fixes in French translation
  

Hello again, I've uploaded another video of the upcoming sequel, which I'm now calling Survivalist: Invisible Strain.

This video is a playthrough that I did of Sandbox Mode (i.e. a randomly generated map), starting from the title screen and going through character customization, exploring, doing quests, recruiting people and starting to build a base. It's a pretty long video! It shows a bunch of new features like stealth takedowns and generated quests.

I'm at a stage now where I'm playing the game, finding bugs that need fixing or things that don't quite work and need to be changed, restarting and playing again, rinse and repeat. I thought by now I'd be starting beta testing but it looks like I'm not quite there yet, still got a list of things that need work. Hopefully it won't take too much longer.

Anyway check out the video!

P.S. To make this post prettier, here's a screenshot from one of my outtakes:

I wasn't expecting to do another patch so soon after the last one, but the Turkish translation has just been finished! Many thanks to Murat Sarı for getting through it all. Enjoy!

(The change list is.. that's the only change in this patch)

Hello, time for another update on Survivalist 2. I've got a new demo video for you showcasing the ability to use stealth to take down zombies and bunny rabbits! Also includes a bunch of stuff I haven't shown before like the new bow and arrows, chopping down trees and building campfires for cooking, and demonstrates how to use the wind direction to your advantage when hunting. Check it out here!

Here's some screenshots too:



I've also released another small patch for Survivalist 1 to fix a few bugs that people reported recently. Here's the changelist:

• Don't allow alcoholic drinks to increase the thirst of NPCs that are not simulating survival factors (fix for Bat Jacobs dying as soon as he joined your community due to being given too much wine)
  
• Traders delete items the player sold them when restocking so they can't just get full up and not restock anymore
  
• Don't show the double click to enter building hint if you've done it already
  

As always, if you want to be informed whenever I post news about the sequel, just email me and ask to be put on my mailing list.

Hello, I've uploaded a small patch for Survivalist today - here are the fixes:

• New out-of-breath sounds
  
• Fix for looters getting stuck in an unkillable state with their hands up
  

I've also uploaded a video showing the melee weapons combat in the upcoming sequel! I've been iterating on it for a while now and I guess there might be more changes in future, but I think it's mostly there. Basically I didn't want it to be just a case of going up to enemies and hitting them repeatedly, so there's blocking and dodging, and you can aim for the head or legs as with the shooting system. If you aim high your legs are vulnerable, and vice versa, and of course there's fatigue to worry about. Check it out!

Finally, I've also been working on the zombies, here's a pic from the menus:
