New version release (Patreon)

Okay...

Well… I’m dealing with extremely heavy power outages right now - not just me, but across the whole country, all over Ukraine.

russia continues to shell our energy infrastructure, kindergartens, and residential apartment buildings where people are actually living.

I’m sorry that I have to keep talking about this and emphasizing it, but we live in a time where there are still people who don’t understand how drastically different life in war conditions.

I’m deeply grateful to everyone who continues to support me or my project - it truly means a lot and is valued far more than you can imagine.

Unfortunately, I can’t keep stable development of the game at the moment for a very simple reason: severe power outages.

I don’t know when this will normalize.

Maybe tomorrow, maybe it’ll be in a week, maybe in a months - I honestly don’t know.

This update was originally planned as a small one, focused purely on bug fixes and balance tweaks - nothing major or heavy. Yes, it’s almost 20 days late, and that delay is entirely due to power issues.

Now, briefly about plans for the next update:

1) The main focus and top priority will be the story.

Bringing back old quests, NPCs, possibly some cut content from earlier versions - with a strong emphasis on lore.

2) Work on NPCs.

Specifically something people have been asking for a very long time: interaction with NPCs, including things like prostitution, etc. That means NSFW content with NPCs. It may not be fully implemented immediately, but the foundation and core systems will be there 100%.

3) Changes to the inventory and consumables system.

I’ve heard the feedback — that it’s trash, badly designed, poorly implemented. It was made as a placeholder and never received proper attention.

That said, I honestly don’t care about Resident Evil, Dead Space, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., or whatever else — I’m making my own game, and I want it to have mechanics that aren’t just copied from other games. That means sometimes experimenting, even if it’s messy at first.

4) The map.

I’m talking about the actual world map, not the minimap. It will be added to the game and will be styled as a hand-drawn map.

So when should you expect the next update?

I don’t know. The situation overall isn’t good right now, and I simply don’t have the ability to work consistently. I also don’t know when that ability will return - but I will definitely let you know when it does.
