Ten! Nine! Eight!

Heya mutants, now this looks familiar right? Guess what's cookin'? Some fine post-apocalyptic stew hehe!

I won't go into details over my work this week as bugfixing isn't so interesting to report and read I guess. Let's just say there was lots of it. Also, the new world map is deadly. Just ...

Dev Diary 41: What's next?

Heya mutants!

Hope you're doing good! It has been a very busy week for me, with virtually no breaks taken and I'm feeling the strain of it. Writing this before crashing to get some early rest!

But that is normal as I'm getting closer and closer to releasing a big update! I'm currently...

Dev diary 40! Getting there

Heya mutants!

This week passed by quickly for me! I continued working on the 10 big NPCs and managed to test and fix 5 of them. Hope I caught up those pesky bugs but in case some odd ones slipped by, I'll be ready to dish out hotfixes starting from day 1! 

I'm happy with the prog...

Dev diary 39! Number 10 shows the way!

Hello mutants,

hope you are all keeping well. Let's get straight to the point: another productive week is behind me, as usual hehe. I'm now down to testing and fixing 10 bigger NPCs before I can say that the second release is done! Hopefully at a rate of at least 1 NPC per day, we might hav...

Dev diary 38! Small milestone achieved

Heya mutants!

Here I am again with another regular Sunday update. This one will be short and sweet! 

I've finished playtesting of all the new gameplay changes including new Traits, Vault Boy artwork, items, and world map encounters. Bugs have been found and squashed! Somehow, I h...

Dev Diary 37: Finally!

Hi mutants,

yes, it finally happened! I added all the new content into the game and will now only be focused on testing. This has been a huge milestone and I feel like there are NPCs there to fill two locations, not one. But Tibbets is big and that needs to be experienced. Not holding anyth...

Dev Diary 36: Words, many words

Hello my mutated friends,

how are y'all doing? Wish I could say something big and exciting happened while working on the game but alas, I spent this entire week working just on dialog logic. 

Some of the new dialogs are BIG, and have many states. For example, I spent 2 days worki...

Dev Diary 35! The Magnificent 50+

How are you, mutants?

All is good on this side. I've been working on programming this entire week with a steady pace. As I was crossing off items from my todo list, I noticed this update is big! Why? Well, there are 50+ new NPCs in it. That's right, over 50 new unique magnificent faces stro...

Dev Diary 34: A Special Week!

Hello mutants,

hope you're doing fine! As the title suggest, this has been a special week.

You might wonder why but the reason for that is simple. I spent the entire week adding new Special Encounters to the game. All 7 of them. Yes, you're getting 7 new special encounters ...

Dev Diary 33!

Hello my mutated friends,

hope you're doing great! Here we are, in mid-September already, with some good news, as usual. So let's get straight to the point. 

90% of all dialogs for the next update are finished! 

Now I know what you're thinking - he finally managed to c...

Dev Diary 32! I can see it...

Hello Mutants!

Yes, I can see the next release poking around the corner.. it's getting closer and closer, especially after another epic weekend marathon :D

1/3 of the release is fully tested ...

Dev Diary 31! In the world of 3D shapes and colors

Hello mutants!

Another week goes by fast and it's time to reflect on the work being done.

Our "future releases locations" poll (  https://www.patreon.com/posts/40124902  ) is almost over and we ca...

Dev Diary 30!

Hello mutants, 

it's hard to summarize everything I did this week. It feels like I worked on just about everything. Creating new areas, art, writing dialogs, writing code, adding a truckload of new music, and fixing bugs! And as you can see, I've started adding NPC portraits to the gam...

Dev Diary 29! All aboard the Crazy Traits

Hello mutants!

Hope you're doing good on this Sunday.  Let' see what was up this week in the workshop! 

I spent the beginning of week finishing the new maps.  All of them are finished now except for a few new art pieces and that shouldn't take more than a day or two. 2020-08-16 17:50:38 +0000 UTC View Post

Dev Diary 28!

Hello mutants!

This week passed by quickly! 

Lots of progress for the second release has been made.

I am almost finished with the maps and after probably 2 or 3 more days of work will move on to programming.

No release date yet as I am trying to add even mo...

I enabled the option so if you would like to switch from EUR to USD or GBP, feel free to do so!

Poll time!

Hello mutants,

it's time we decide together in what order the new world map areas should be added to the future updates.  As some of you know, in a previous poll the majority voted for Fort Abandon to be the next  world map area that the Prisoner can visit.

However, since th...

Dev Diary 27!

Hello mutants!

Sorry for the late update, I spent the entire weekend working on the next update and postponed the dev diary for the next day.

So far the progress has been great, 1/3 of the next update is done! I can't post screenshots yet as I don't want to spoil something but I promi...

Dev Diary 25! The genius beast is tamed

Heya mutants!

Lots of good news today so let's start right away. After my last blog post, I sat down and made a task list of all the big and small tasks I need to finish by the end of this month.

So the list ended up being around 70 items long which was unexpected as I thought it woul...

Dev Diary 24! What if...

Heya mutants! 

A bit of a late update but it's all due to extra work being done.

The focus was mostly on playtesting, bugfixes, dialogs and all those "what if the player does this" situations which need to be covered. And there's plenty of those! I assume it will take me about a ...

The little ones that aren't with us anymore

Hi mutants!

I'm working on some special encounters these days and one of them is a pet cemetery.

I guess some of you had loved pets that aren't with you anymore. If you want I'll gladly add their names and a sentence of text on their tombstones in the game. You can comment here or sen...

Dev Diary 23! The Magic of Fallout

Hello mutants!

Hope you're doing well! I had a super busy week at my work but managed to push extra hours this weekend to stay on course for everything I planned for this week's update. 

I've just been playing the game, fixing bugs and adding content for the last two days.

Dev Diary 22! Playtesting!

Hello mutants!

How are you doing on this fine Sunday, the first day of Summer?

The big news since the last time is that the first release is now content locked!
The time is now being spent playtesting it, fixing bugs and doing overall tweaks.

There are many things ...

Dev Diary 21! Traits, Perks, Painter 2020!

Heya mutants, 

I've upgraded my Barter skill!

Instead of paying €424.95 for Corel 2020 I paid only €169.74 for it and saved us €255.21!!

How you might ask? I first bought Corel 2018 full version for only €49.79 (or $54.15) from Software Planet 2020-06-15 12:58:05 +0000 UTC View Post

A deep dive into the code! Dev Diary 20!

What's up mutants,

I'm dropping in to let you know I'm DEEEEEEEEP in the rabbit's hole AKA game's code.

Right now the focus is on getting Traits and Perks in.
Some of the exotic ones require many work hours to be implemented but they'll worth it!

The plan is to have the major...
