WIP: Environment Animations ✨🌿

Here’s a sneak peek at some WIP animations for props! These subtle movements are part of our effort to make the game world feel more dynamic and alive.

Using Vertex Animations, we’ve created a performance-friendly way to animate objects like air conditioners, fluttering flyers, swaying cloth, and even some interactive elements. These small touches bring more realism and energy to the environment without impacting performance.

🛠️Militsioner Debugging Video Update

Hey everyone!

We know it’s been a bit quiet lately—most of our recent work has focused on refining core game systems and structure, which isn’t always the most visual part of development. However, we do have something cool to share: a behind-the-scenes look at the debugging process for Militsioner’s hand movements as he catches the player!

In this video, you’ll see how we work on fine-tuning his movements, along with more details on how he behaves in various scenarios. <...

🪴New Concept Art | Interiors Update

Recently, we’ve been focusing on redesigning the interiors—how they should feel, function in gameplay, and fit the overall vibe of the game. Our goal is to create spaces that feel alive and lived-in, striking a balance between messy realism and avoiding a junkyard look. These are homes, not abandoned ghost towns (even though, in the last demo, it literally was a ghost town—but we’ll show more about the apartment dwellers in future updates!).

The interiors aren’t ...

Car Model WIP Update 🚗

Hey! There's a quick update on my current car model. You can see the blocking in our previous post. There’s still plenty of refining to do, but it’s shaping up well. We’ll keep you posted as more progress is made.

Interior Props - Concept Art

Hey! In this update, we're showcasing some concept art along with a few design iterations—like this stove. Every object goes through multiple stages of refinement before becoming a 3D model.

We carefully consider factors such as the game's color palette, real-world prototypes for atmospheric accuracy, and how each item ties into the in-game lore. It’s important that every prop not only looks good but also feels authentic and fits seamlessly within the overall interior design.

VHS Player 📼

Here’s a sneak peek at a new feature—the in-game VHS player.
It allows us to play 5-10 second videos, with the duration depending on the texture quality and framerate. We can even extend the playback for longer videos, as the CRT-screen emulation in the shader helps mask any loss in quality. This versatile feature not only adds a nostalgic vibe to the game but also enhances gameplay—you can gift tapes, sell them, or discover secrets and use as quest items.

Props Concept Art - Air conditioners

We’ve working on new concept art for the town props, including variations of small and large air conditioners. We’re also giving you a sneak peek with some WIP screenshots of the block-out phase for these future 3D assets.

Car Interaction Prototype

Continuing our focus on interactivity, we've been diving deeper into car mechanics. We've finally begun reworking the car models and gameplay. In this video, you’ll get a first look at our progress. We’ve refined the shapes and proportions to create more comfortable and detailed interactions, aiming for an experience that’s even more detailed than what you saw in the demo. Now, you can open all the doors and explore the interiors, discovering items hidden inside.
If you have any idea...

Breakable Windows and Doors - Interactions Update

Hey everyone! We're working on enhancing world interactivity, especially when it comes to adding a bit of controlled chaos. We're reworking windows to be more dynamic—not only can you break the glass, but you can also open them quietly using the latch from the inside. This feature allows you to navigate the environment more strategically, avoiding unnecessary attention from the Militsioner and reducing frustration.

We've seen how much fun breakable objects were in the demo, and we're ...
