Devlog 40: Tracking for Advanced players + Beta Keys

You can track other players in two ways, but most players don't know how. And we've loaded P0P-L0ck up with more Beta keys. Keep reading for the deets.

Blood

When hurt, all living things bleed. So when you are badly hurt, a bright red trail will be left behind. Crossing rivers and other water can hide the trail, but you really need to heal up. On the flip side, this makes hunting players and fast creatures (like cute bunnies) easier.

Footprints

Players leave behind footprints on soft terrain, such as grass. These are subtle dark spots, that can tell you if they are running or walking. Look at the spacing of the footprints. Since creatures also leave footprints behind, I'll be enlisting the help of a Penguin to help demonstrate.

Tracking

These two combined, make finding weaklings who run away from you quite easy. If you are the hunted however, you should note that hard surfaces such as metals and concrete can't have footprints. However blood will stain anything except water.

More Beta Keys

Over on the 2.0 Studios Discord, our bot has been loaded up with some more Beta keys. So jump onto the #Beta-Keys channel and say "I volunteer as tribute" and POP-L0k will DM you with a Steam key and instructions.

Launching into Early Access

So we've run out of show stopping bugs and issues. This means we will have to resort to actually releasing Survival Games into Early Access! After launch, we'll be working with the community to improve and expand the game up to the final version, with all four game modes.

Our launch date is April 10, 2018. Thanks for reading!
