Hi!
For the past few days I have been implementing the second early access shelter called Cabin.
On top of modeling this asset, I have made a "visual template" scene which kind of acts as "gatekeeper" when choosing and adding new assets for the commercial branch.
Here's few explanations to this:

Hi!
Here's more in-depth look at the magazines and how the system would work with the ammo loading and unloading.
I'm doing some calculations today to figure out how much extra time this magazine system would need, but since I'm already liking this approach and how it would provide this extra need for preparing (going to maps), it's ...

Hi!
Here's one quick preview about the upcoming concept variations.
Basically the early access will have a separate Winter Mode and if you choose that mode, a lot of things in the game will change including all the concept / brand art related to the game.
On top of this, the supporter version of the game will include all the cu...

Just wanted to quickly get your general opinion related to magazine systems.
Basically this new UI overhaul, dynamic icons and item combining would allow me to implement a separated magazine system quite easily now.
Option 1 (Magazine System):
- Magazines are separated items and need to be attached to the weapon
- Usi...

Hi!
Here's a little update related to grenades that are coming to the commercial branch.
Since it has been a long time when I handled grenades in the military, I had to gather references and kind figure out which grenades would be suitable for the early access and game lore / factions.
Early access will include 4 different gren...

I will update the website roadmap this week to highlight the exact production goals and milestones for this upcoming commercial phase.
For the past few days, I have ...
Hi!
Here's a preview of the first early access shelter called Tent.
Like mentioned in the previous post, this tent is based on real Finnish military tent called "puolijoukkueteltta".
I have personally probably spent hundreds of days/nights in these tents and I have multiple cool mechanics planned for certain tent activities. 2024-12-30 13:15:40 +0000 UTC View Post

Hi!
Tomorrow I will be ending my holiday break and returning back to the home office.
I have also a small christmas surprise :)
Back in Unity, I had a pretty sweet inventory system which was based on this multi-cell inventory tetris style (like in Diablo, Tarkov etc).
This inventory style has always been the end-choice ...

I will return back to my home office around 26th of December and once I return I will first implement a small hotfix for Patch 3.

Since a lot of things are going on with the commercial branch, here's a little update.
Today I had few new contractor related meetings:

Hi!
Since I haven't really showcased how the knife / melee system works in practice here's some examples.
The melee system supports two kinds of attacks and combos:

Then the throwing is simulated quite realistically and it detects two different things when it com...

The laser attachment system is now fully implemented and to be honest even though I was kind of against (at some point) adding this feature it definitely makes the canted aiming stuff fun :)

- ANPEQ-15 (25mw red / green + IR) "advanced"
Then few disclaimers to these. Road to Vostok is not going towards this high-end "operator-tier" gear and equipment, so these items are going to be one of the most rare...
