Day-Night Cycle

Our team has worked on the Day-Night Cycle. Apart from visual effects, we also adjusted the enemies. During the night they are stronger and more aggressive. A moon icon appears above the enemies' heads, this way we know that we are dealing with night zombies.

Cooking

When the player approaches the bonfire, the UI will appear, where the player will have the option of cooking “prepare food” or fast traveling “travel”. After selecting “prepare food”, all the food we can bake and we have in our inventory will appear. Then the player just has to select one of them and click "cook".

Character Customization

Express yourself in the game! We added the Character Customization Panel to the main menu. The player can choose skin and hair color, hairstyle and add moustache or/and beard.

In the time since the last dev update, we have also been working on the demo version at Steam Next Fest and on the general optimization of the game. We have also started working on the Steam Deck version. We encourage you to join our community on Discord !
