addedIn this devlog, we will showcase a new weapon, environmental storytelling posters, basebuilding pieces, equipment, enemies, and level design. Please keep in mind that everything we are about to show is "Work In Progress" and may change in the future.
addedWeapon - Shovel AxeOur new weapon Shovel Axe. A regular shovel modified with everyday items converted into a devastating heavy weapon. High physical damage with high stamina cost. Perfect weapon for frontliners. This is the LV2 variant. LV1 variant is just the shovel. There will be other variants based on higher levels.
addedDatura City Central HospitalWe have shown some areas of the Hospital during the Kickstarter. Here are some new areas of the hospital. If you are a fan of the TV show House, some layouts and designs might seem familiar when you explore the building. The hospital is also the starting point of the game and the default spawn point after death if there is no base bed set as a spawn point.
changedApartment Building 7 - BankAs you know, there will be a lot of apartment buildings and all of their interior will be explorable. We are currently working on an apartment building that has a bank on the first floor and a vault in the basement that connects directly to the sewers. We will showcase the bank and the vault in the future. Here are some WIP shots of some apartments in that building.
addedThe Organization's PMCFirst, we have some new enemy designs. The Organization has its own PMC. After the outbreak, they have been deployed in Datura City. Some of the soldiers have also turned into crics due to prolonged exposure. There will be both regular and squad leader variants of the soldiers, as well as cric variants. More details about them will be revealed in the future.
changedEnvironmental StorytellingFor environmental storytelling, one of the main tools we are utilizing is posters and banners. They can be found all over the map and will reveal or hint at story and character details. Environmental storytelling is very important to us, so expect a lot of details scattered around the map that reveal events of the past and future.
