We’re currently pushing development forward at an intense pace. The reason video updates and Dev Note releases have slowed down recently is that the project has entered a stage that isn’t ideal for showcasing “new content,” but is critically important for overall development.

Here’s a general overview of the current progress:

The core combat system is fully functional

Character movement and interaction systems have been implemented at a foundational level

Resource gathering, looting, and building mechanics are operational

AI logic has entered a stable iteration phase

Open-world loading and server-related systems are currently being integrated

In terms of system count, there is already a substantial amount of functionality in place. However, we understand that completed modules do not automatically mean the game has truly taken shape.

At the moment, each system can run independently, but they have not yet been fully integrated into a cohesive survival gameplay loop. Simply put:

Combat works. Building works. The looting system works.

But the connections between them — the pacing, flow, and risk structure — have not yet reached the standard we consider ready for public showcase.

Our current focus is to establish a complete, repeatable survival loop.

Looking ahead to March, our goal is to complete a true full-process demo, including:

A fully playable test map

Clearly defined resource distribution and high-risk zones

A foundational equipment and item system

Zombie combat and death penalty mechanics

A cohesive gameplay structure

The objective of this build is to ensure that players can experience a complete survival cycle. Only once that foundation is solid does it make sense to expand equipment tiers, balance values, and deepen gameplay systems.

Thank you sincerely for your continued patience and support.

Once the full-process demo is complete, we will share a more comprehensive update with you right away.

Development continues — and we’re grateful that you’re still here with us.
