Dev Update (07/02/2025)

Hi!

Since the shelter customization + multi-shelter support is now pretty much done, I will probably take this weekend off from development and continue on Monday.

My main goal next week is to implement the Bunker shelter which is the largest early access shelters and that shelter needs to be unlocked with trader tasks, so there's few key mechanics involved.

Once the Bunker is finished then I have 3/4 of early access shelters done, so the Island lookout tower is only left.

Next week I will also want to make some progress related to the loot challenge, so I will add few new items to the game. I also want to make these, since I need some non-code related tasks after the shelter customization to have some development variation :)

I have basically two new videos also ready to be released pretty soon, these are Scientist lore video and feature highlight about the Dynamic Game Time + Sleeping.

However that Dynamic Game Time is kind of hard to make interesting in a video format since it's just related to, well game time being dynamic and all the other elements linked to that, so I will probably release the Scientist video first and then once I have few early access maps done, I probably showcase the game time stuff then, so I can visually show something new (early access maps) and how the transitions work in them.

Then few contractor updates:
- Claudia is currently working on the Grandma's cat aka Shelter Cat.
- Barry is currently finishing the grenade animations (both AI and player) and that whole system is quite fast to implement since I already implemented some of the placeholder grenade mechanics back in December.
- I have casted one new voice actor for the Guards, those voice lines will be completed at the end of this month.

Have a great weekend!
