ATOM RPG News

Good mourning, friends…
The time has come for yet another patch to be uploaded. And with it - a small surprise, to commemorate this year’s All Hallow’s Eve. From October 28th, ‘till November 1st, you will have a chance to encounter enemies with unique pumpkin helmets, or battle endless waves of bloodthirsty mutant freaks that crave for your succulent flesh in another encounter we developed (only for level 10 of higher characters).
While we really hope that you’ll enjoy this spooktacular festive addition, we also get how weird Halloween themed events look in a game about former USSR, where no such holiday ever existed. If this content ruins your immersion, you can turn it off in the main menu.



Also, we added an option that makes informational pop-ups appear above the character’s head. It is off by default, but you can turn it on in the options menu.



Fangs for sticking with us, and let there be BLOOD!... I mean ATOM!
Stay spooky!

The horrifying changelog of doom and devilry:

• Fixed a ghastly bug which allowed characters to phase through trucks and carts;
  
• Dzhulbars got an armor fix to stand a better chance against blood-starved beasts;
  
• Wind now moves grass and other plants bug-free and with deadly precision;
  
• Artemyev’s dialogue fixed;
  
• Skill points can now be added en masse by holding the left mouse button on “+” on the character screen;
  
• The Woodpecker’s quest ending fixed;
  
• Lesser bugs obliterated;
  
• Newly discovered typos and translation errors snuffed out;
  

Hello, friends!
Here's another small patch to fix the bugs we found last time.
Along these fixes we're posting eight new weapon mods you, our community, has asked for. There is now a way to modify your weapon through found parts.
Thank you for continuing to give us great ideas! Let there be ATOM!

Changelog:
- Added 8 new modifications for some weapons;
- Better grass graphics;
- Character animation bugs (rare)
- Added camera positioning in dialogues;
- New point marker added;
- Rare bug with item count fixed;
- Isometric mode cutscene bug fixed;
- Sand storm's effect on character fixed;
- F and V keys now zoom camera in and out;
- New animations for wolves;
- And many more minor fixes.

Hello, friends!

It is time to publish yet another large patch for the game. This time around we fixed all of the new bugs the community found, as well as optimized the soundscape, left handed person accessibility, and controller support for the game.

Also, we added the new camera mode to the game, that puts the view into isometric projection. This mode is a new feature we are developing for the Trudograd standalone expansion, but we just couldn’t stop ourselves from adding it into the original game as well, both for testing purposes and because we think you just might like it. The mode can be toggled from the menu.

Speaking of Trudograd, the development is going swimmingly. The standalone expansion now features 20+ characters, with unique portraits and dialogues, 10+ quests, a new mob enemy, and a few new mechanics. You can follow our work at our social media accounts if you want:

Hello, friends!

Today is the day we publish the 1.108 patch. However, bugfixes which are listed below, are not everything this new version holds. We also supplied it with the first iteration of gamepad compatibility, just like some of you asked us! After the update installs, press any gamepad button on the main menu screen, or pick the controller in the options menu to activate it.

Work on Trudograd continues, and soon we'll update you all with screenshots and info about the standalone addon.

Thanks you for reading.
