It has been quite some time since I've posted something around here and I'm really sorry about that, I will try to keep you informed more about what I'm working on and at what stage are things at through this devlog format :)

What will be the new features of The Hideaway - Chapter 1 ?

Well I've been working on implementing many new things from new game logics and mechanics to visuals, sound effects and environments but what this update will feature most importantly is the setting up of a new different story for each environment

New game mechanics :

  • A new crafting and inventory system : table-based and recipe-based, you will be able to gather, extract and craft many objects, but still no weapons ;)

  • Vehicles : A buggy will be craftable using special workshops and tech you will have to find, allowing you to move around bigger environments

  • Generators / Petrol : You will have to find Jerrycans which you will have to fill in petrol in order to activate some electricity generators, giving you access to some special places to explore

  • Button puzzles : To activate certain systems you will have to activate some buttons in a precise order, which you will have to find in some notes around every environment

  • Notes / Story system : The story of each environment will unfold through notes that you will find in places abandoned by humans, recounting their stories

  • Automatisation : You will be able to craft resource extractors and conveyors, to deport your resource production. Further automatisation will be the subject of a subsequent update.

New environments :

Three new environments will appear in the game, one large environment and two smaller ones, all featuring their own secrets :)

Enhancements :

  • Bloom and smoke effects

  • New sound effects and sound management

  • Survival status balancing

  • And many more...

Many other things are going to be added / modified according to what the community asked for :)

Stay tuned for the release of The Hideaway - Chapter 1 !

Thanks a lot for being part of the community and for supporting the project, I wish you happy holidays !
