Road to Vostok

Hi! It's time for another SITREP update which covers the development progression in August.

Build 2 Build 2 (Nomads) is relatively close to the finish line and there's only few topics left from the content that I have planned for this build. The missing elements are mostly tied to polishing the new maps, fine-tuning the AI vs. AI combat mechanics, adding some new task-based items and playtesting the build. Many of you are probably wondering when this Build 2 is g

Hi! It's time for another SITREP update which covers the development progression in July. The format here is going to be same as in previous SITREP, so categorizing these topics to each upcoming build that has received some development hours recently. Build 2 Build 2 development and the friendly faction Nomads has been progressing like expected and I would say the build is roughly 75% complete in terms of planned features and content. In the last SITREP, I already showcased the Nomad characters visually, so this time I want to talk a little about the tech related to AI overhaul in general. Let

So here's the first SITREP which covers wide range of topics from this month. Build 2 & Nomads In terms of Road to Vostok roadmap, my obvious priority at the moment is the Build 2 (Nomads) which introduces

Hi everyone! With the Early Access launch approaching on April 7 , it’s time to make some necessary changes to the current Road to Vostok demo regarding rendering and drivers. Current Demo Recap To provide some context, here is the state of the current demo: The demo currently uses Vulkan as the default rendering architecture. Vulkan has caused several driver issues, particularly for users with AMD hardware. The demo contained few critical bugs and collision issues where players could get stuck.
