The first part will be released by the time you see this announcement, Part 2 will be released between 7 pm est February 16 and 7 am February 17. When Part 2 is released we will post a large announcement telling you all about the update. Along with the update will come an updated Steam page, screenshots, and Maybe a trailer, we will also be running a sale with the update, so look out for that, it may not last long.

Thanks for all the support.

This update has a ton of major changes that you as a player may not see like, cleaning up files that are not needed in the project, resizing some of the textures used, added pooling system to spawn loot on time limits and reworking the entire map with new textures. I am very happy with the way the game is looking and feeling and with a couple more weeks of updates, I think the game will be at a stage and have enough content to play for long periods of time. Over the next few days, I will be releasing several updates as I decorate areas of the map and add sounds to the project. If you want to help with suggestions, report bugs or just stay up to date, then I invite you to join our Discord.

Nails
Small Jar
Large Jar

I have also added items to loot, some of the trash bags, boxes and other items will now have random loot.



Lowered vegetation to improve FPS

Hello everyone and welcome to another quick update. This week will just be some news about what's going on and what I am doing this week, an update for the game will come along more towards the end of the week. The next update will bring a lot of much-needed changes, I have lowered some of the vegetation on the map to improve the frame rate, so far it has added another 20 frames to the gameplay. I hope it stays that way as I continue to add new items into the game. The main goal over the next 3 weeks is to bring the game into a more playable state, where you will be able to play the game for a more extended time and still have plenty to do. One of the first changes I made was to the build system, For now, I have removed the log to log building and added walls, floors, ceilings, foundations, windows, doors, and stairs to the log building parts, so you will now be able to build sections of wall at a time instead of 1 log at a time. This seems to be much smoother and gives a much better experience.
Another addition I know you will like is LOOT, Yes you will now be able to search, trash, boxes and other items around the map for needed items, along with this will come 3 new loot boxes that will be hidden in random locations around the map. New discovery task available, New NPC,s quest available and you will also notice some changes to the Task UI. Well, I don't want to leak to much until you can play it, so keep an eye out, I will post an announcement in a few days when the update is ready, I am thinking maybe Thursday or Friday. Thanks for all the support, talk to you all soon.
