[p]Greetings, everyone!
[/p][p]We periodically ran events and contests on our Discord server, and last week we had a contest for easter egg ideas.[/p][p][/p][p]This is the second event of this type, and we are delighted that we had twice the number of participants in this event compared to the first one. [/p][p]We've got 2 winners for our contest. One was picked by members of the server upvoting each other's suggestions, and the dev team not only liked the winning suggestion but also picked an extra entry.[/p][p][/p][p]Here are the suggestions:[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Team will be working on adding both suggestions to the game before release, the only caveat for implementing is of course the copyright. If there are issues, we'll contact the winners to see if there are any alternative suggestions. The 2nd suggestion will take the form of a collectible item you'll be able to find during the play-through.[/p][p]Join Discord to become part of the community and take part in future events.

We'll also be writing down all the extra questions asked during the session to cover them in a follow-up message during the week.[/p][p][/p][p]Join our server here to tune in: discord.gg/quarantinezonegame[/p][p][/p][h2]EDIT:[/h2][p]The Q&A has ended, but don't worry - we'll posting clips of the recording on discord later this week.[/p][p]You can also ask any follow-up questions in the text thread to the stage VC on Discord.[/p][p][/p][p]About Quarantine Zone: [/p][p]Papers, Please meets zombie apocalypse.

[p]Hello, commanders!
[/p][p]Thank you for playing the Quarantine Zone Demo, which we released on May 22nd! Your feedback has been incredible. We’re excited to share how we’re expanding the game for its full release. Here’s a look at what the team will be working on over the summer, including new features, improvements, and challenges we’ll tackle along the way.[/p][p][/p][p]You can continue reading down below or watch the dev diary on YouTube:[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]Overall improvements[/p][p]The demo introduced you to the harsh realities of managing the checkpoint—managing supplies, screening survivors for signs of infection, and defending the base from the waves of undead. Now, we’re taking everything you’ve experienced and making it more detailed and immersive.
[/p][p]Survivors and their reactions: New appearances, expanded dialogues, small events with consequences, and periodic changes to the inspection rules will make each character feel more alive. Watch for subtle changes in behavior as infection takes hold.
[/p][p]New symptoms & expanded screening: Advanced tools like the neurological hammer and X-ray scanner will change how you detect and treat infection in your checkpoint.
[/p][p]Base Management & Caring For Survivors: We’ll be working on a complete overhaul in July, including managing drone expeditions to explore dangerous areas to acquire more resources for your base and rescue more survivors.
[/p][p]Studying the virus: The Virus constantly mutates, so commanders will now have to study it in the brand-new laboratory! Research unknown new symptoms and develop new tools and tactics to fight the Virus. 
[/p][p]Roadmap Highlights[/p][p]June: New Tools & Combat[/p][p]This month, we’re wrapping up work on a suite of new tools to help future players, including:[/p]

• [p]New tools to diagnose the arriving survivors to detect hidden symptoms[/p]
• [p]Expanded weapon mechanics: limited ammo & ammo procurement, recoil & more[/p]
• [p]UI improvements [/p]

[p]July: Story & Progression[/p]

• [p]Survivor Stories: Uncover the pasts of arriving survivors through additional interactions.[/p]
• [p]Player Character Arc: Your decisions will shape your own story[/p]
• [p]Rewards & Collectibles: A new progression system will let you earn ranks. You’ll also be able to unlock collectible items while exploring the checkpoint.[/p]
• [p]Tutorial Rework: A smoother introduction for new players, based on your feedback after playing the demo.[/p]
• [p]Improvements in zombie AI during defence and adding new types of infected[/p]

[p]August: Community & Accessibility[/p]

• [p]Twitch Integration: Options to let viewers influence your playthrough in real-time [/p]
• [p]Full Controller & Steam Deck Support: Play comfortably on any setup.[/p]
• [p]Mod support via ModIO[/p]

[p][/p][p]Challenges & Progress[/p][p]Balancing infection mechanics to be both tense and fair has been a major focus—too punishing, so players get frustrated; too lenient, and the stakes disappear. We’ll also spend a lot of time reworking the base management gameplay loop, ensuring it adds depth over increased game hours. [/p][p]
[/p][p]Coming Soon: June Tools Showcase[/p][p]Soon we’ll reveal more details about the new tools we’ve been working on, including their gameplay impact and how they’ll change the screening process. Keep an eye out for a dedicated preview!
[/p][p]Stay tuned for our July Dev Diaries, where we’ll dive deeper into the revamped base management and survivor stories. [/p][p][/p][p]The quarantine zone is evolving. Will you survive it?[/p][p]
