[p]Hello everyone,
[/p][p]For the latest Co-op progress update, you can check out new devlog on YouTube (Co-op Devlog #12).
[/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]I’ve uploaded a new build with Co-op mode to the branch coop_test_branch.
If you’d like to try it out, you can switch to that branch and start testing right away.
[/p][p]Please note:[/p]

• [p]Content is still limited compared to the original build.[/p]
• [p]There are still quite a few bugs. I currently have three testers reporting issues, and I’m polishing things as quickly as possible.[/p]
• [p]Animations, sounds, and physics materials for bullet impacts are still placeholders in many areas. These will be improved and expanded with each update.[/p]
• [p]Bandits and wildlife behavior are also not yet polished to the same standard as the original build.[/p]
• [p]While you can jump in now, I personally recommend waiting a couple of days (or maybe a week) when the build should be in a better state for testing—though content will remain limited.[/p]
• [p]This branch will be updated frequently, and older saves may not always work correctly.[/p]

[p]** When you host a game, you’ll see the screen below with dots loading at the right bottom.
This is actually a loading process, so please wait a little while until the session is ready.[/p][p]I’ll also be updating this build with some fixes in the next 1–2 days,

[/p][p]** And this is the first playable area, with more zones coming in every future patch.[/p][p][/p][p][/p]

• [p]New NPC Shelter: Jiyeon’s Shelter (Unlocks after recruit her)[/p]

[h3]Co-Op Progress Update[/h3][p][/p][p]Co-Op mode will be available by the end of September in the Public Test Branch. This will be a completely new build, separate from the current version.[/p][p][/p][p]In this build, you’ll still be able to play in Single Player, as well as try out Co-Op mode.

[h3]Co-Op Progress Update[/h3]

For now, third-person animations in Co-Op mode share the same assets as the first-person animations. To improve consistency and quality, I have to recreate them.

When Co-Op mode is released, I’ll start by adding the most frequently used animations first, then continue updating the rest through future patches. Some animations may look a bit off or incomplete in third-person until the full set is implemented.

Here’s a before and after comparison of the animation update:

New Version Update 0.6.2.2

Hello everyone,

Please check out the patch notes below.

For Co-Op, I’ll need a couple more weeks to rework the gunfight and melee combat systems. These new combat mechanics will be implemented in the Co-Op version. You can check the current progress below.

I’ve built the Co-Op version from scratch with a focus on optimized memory usage and better performance. Many core systems and logic have been reworked to ensure it runs more smoothly than the single-player version. --Once the content in Co-Op reaches parity with the single-player version, The Co-Op build will be default version of the game (which will still support single-player mode) ** However, some gameplay mechanics like the new gunfight, recoil rework, and melee combat will remain exclusive to Co-Op and won’t be added to current build single-player (controller support as well).

*** To clarify, single-player remains the main focus for story content, quests, world-building, and overall game progression. All new areas, characters, and missions will continue to be developed primarily for the single-player experience. Only a few systems—like gunfight, melee, and controller support—are being developed specifically for Co-Op.

Also, the Co-Op version isn’t just for CooOp Mode —it supports single-player as well. So once it’s ready to replace the old build, you will still be able to choose whether you want to play solo or Co-Op, with all the new improvements included.
