Dev rant #2 - Survival mode: Life
News - 1h Ago...
Hey everyone,
Patreon has become, at least for me, more than just a place where people support the project - it’s also turned into a space where I can be real.
Not just as a developer, but as a person.
Or at least, that’s how it feels to me.
Thanks for being the kind of people I feel safe being real with.
Unfortunately, there won’t be an update this month.
To put it simply - I just wasn’t in the right state to work.
I went through a very difficult breakup with someone I deeply cared about.
It had probably been building for a while, but this month everything collapsed.
I needed time to crawl out of that quiet, chaotic space inside myself.
The good news is: I’m feeling better.
I’m sleeping again, back in my bed instead of the couch.
Bit by bit, I’ve started putting myself back together - moving forward, living, growing.
And slowly, I’ve been returning to working on the project too.
What I’ve been working on (and will continue after recovery):
Right now, I need to get back to full strength - mentally and physically.
Just a few days ago, after my annual check-up, I was told I need two surgeries.
So for about two weeks after that, I’ll likely be out of action.
But please know: I’m still here, and still working - even if silently, even if in my own rhythm.
Thank you for your patience, support, and belief in this project.
You are my anchor.
P.S. If you’ve been through something similar - a rough breakup, difficult relationships, or just a hard time in life - feel free to share a few words in the comments, if you feel like it.
I can’t promise I’ll be able to reply to everyone or say anything helpful - but I’ll read it.
And maybe, just maybe, someone will feel a little less alone because of it.

What I’ve been working on (and will continue after recovery):
- Upper part of the map - the starting zone, including a safe area with survivors’ base, traders, and quest-givers
- Working on the lore and slowly bringing it into the gameplay
- UI overhaul
- Carrying bodies and looting them
- Reworking backpacks and pockets - no more “backpack in backpack” stacking: containers now have a carry weight limit
- Entity system rework - local currency and character progression tied to it
- Parasitic Network - with its own rules and logic; each infected creature has a purpose in the world
- From a lore perspective, I plan to add a new need, to pee. (I know that for many this is a fetish, I think you will be happy about this) {No poop}
- New animations
- Traders

Yup, curse of solo development. Human body is durable and also fragile at the same time. U can basically do some really hard thingys, but one unpredictable move and u done in this particylar moment, no mater how u was sucesseful in past. And if u do something big, no one can cover u. I wish all good for Rab - bit, and hope to see involving of this project in future. Love this game and ready to support via steam even in current state.

Are you running unlimited frames? If yes, your GPU will always run to the max.
I can't remember if this game gives the option to set the frame limit.
GPU / CPU temps are not a problem until it's into the 100C+ range, but the chip should throttle before any damage can occur.
Generally you should set your frame rate to the same frequency as your monitor.
60Hz = 60 FPS. 144Hz = 144 FPS. If your system is beefy enough to keep up with the higher rate.
For games that do not provide a frame limiter, your GPU driver software might allow you to do it.
Otherwise I recommend using RivaTuner.

no, I set it to 120, but perhaps lowering it even more to maybe 90-100 would be best for my pc XD, thanks!

Just keep in mind it's UE5, early access, solo developer...
All three of the indicators of lackluster optimization.
I would disable lumen / raytracing for an even bigger boost.
Turn grass off completely, you can actually see items on the ground.

No because modders needs AES key to decrypt files to be able to mod it
You could easily get the AES key with

Personally, I'd say it just doesn't make sense to mod the game at the moment. It's still very much in development and without real modkits or similar tools it's a lot more work to create mods and therefore not worth the time for many. (especially with games in development where every update breaks your mods)

You need make pencil from charcoal, charcoal comes from fireplace, then you use ? mark some items have, to open new recipes. Good game kinda realistic crafting system (as games go), but game start just no go. You start game, start freezing, injured, almost naked, freeze to death at first day, because rain is pouring and then it's snowy and next day and so on, oh you didn't get spear and now zombies ripping you apart to make things complete. If game author balance start and some other rough edges, it could be good game. It's still has potential, but first day of struggle where RND constantly fuck you over, while you try figure out how things work, becomes pretty stale and not fun, pretty fast. So far, God mode strongly advised, unless you really know how things work and what to do. So far like the game, but you must know it's inner workings very well to see how good it could be.
