Hello everyone and welcome to this new Devlog !
I'm pleased to announce that a playtest of The Hideaway will be opening soon, and you can already register for free on the Steam page of the game !
I hope you are all doing well and I hope you didn't forget about The Hideaway. I'm really sorry to be so irregular in my publications. However, during that time, I've been working on new things for the game including :

The explorer mode : position imprecision issues, player movement, gestion of vessels, resource mining, procedural flora placement, procedural orbits and planet self-rotation, realistic light management ...
The story mode : lootable notes, codes to find, breaker sequences to understand, resources and basic crafting, environment and visual optimizations
Global performance optimization : The Hideaway should now run way better on all platforms. I've implemented more LOD's, Impostors, compressed textures. The grass is now GPU-Computed.
Extractions : To extract each environment in Story Mode, you will have to untangle the secrets of every map. Each map is different and has its own way out.
Issues with vitals : I've made player vitals way more easy to manage. Eating is now required but not eating is only deadly on a long term.
Unpurified and purified water / safe foods : The food and water you will be able to find in your environment is not safe to consume, each time you eat/drink you'll have a proability of catching a deadly disease.
Deadly bushes : Deadly bushes have been nerfed. The probability of them giving you a disease is now 40% per direct contact.
All those features will be included in The Hideaway - Chapter 1 playtest so REGISTER NOW !!
--> THE PLAYTEST WILL OPEN ON 03/30/24, STAY TUNED ! <--
See you soon explorers, I hope to see you all in the playtest !
Peace out, Rec0re.

THE HIDEAWAY : CHAPTER 1 - SUMMER DEVLOG

Hey everyone, I hope you're all doing well ! Welcome to this new devlog about The Hideaway : Chapter 1 update !
What's new about The Hideaway : Chapter 1 ?

The Hideaway : Chapter 1 will feature a large scale multiplayer mode, one server with a maximum of hundreds of players connected, crashing on a random planet of a realistically-simulated galaxy. Players will have to survive, explore bases, collect loot and mine ressources on the planets, in order to one day be able to craft or exchange a ship and explore the galaxy !
This multiplayer mode will feature spaceships, enemy bases to destroy all along the galaxy. Explore up to 20 small and large scale planets without any loading screen, simply fly in and out of the atmosphere with your spaceship and join other planets in minutes.
The whole star system will be simulated using newtonian physics, day and night cycles will be defined by the procedural angle and speed of self-rotation of every planet, planets will follow circular and elliptical orbits around the nearest star.
Discover many different types of planets : Desertic, Tropical, Icy, Rocky and Alien, featuring more or less dense atmospheres, different sunsets, colors, soils composition, resources to exploit, sometimes some vegetation. Each planet will be more or less secured by agressive groups of spacecrafts depending on the amount of loot and resources available on its surface.
Every planet will feature some abandoned research bases on their surface, sometimes requiring to find petrol, generators and even codes to access them. In each base you will be able to find some loot, machines, workbenchs, gaz masks and many more !
Player property in The Hideaway will be enforced by "domes", only the player who placed a dome will be able to go through it and access the items and machinery placed under it. To share or exchange something with another player you will have to drop resources directly from your inventory, out of a dome.
The server will be perpetually connected, every modification you will make to the environment, every resource you mine, everything you will harvest during your journey is unique and won't be respawned or destroyed. Server resets will happen once every month and every session is unique, if you leave the game, you will restart from nothing but your base won't be destroyed.
The story mode of The Hideaway will soon be ready !
The first update for The Hideaway : Chapter 1 should be playable in August-September 2023 on Steam. The game's price will increase up to 4.99 USD after the release of the first update of the first chapter.
Thanks a lot for reading, thanks for being part of the community and for supporting the development of The Hideaway and see you soon here or on the official DIscord server ! :D

Hey everyone ! I hope you're all doing well ! Welcome to this 5th devlog about The Hideaway : Chapter 1 update :)
What's new on The Hideaway ?

Optimization : I've nearly doubled the overall performance of the game on all my testing devices
New visual technologies :DLSS Anti-Aliasing and Dynamic Visual Occlusion
Enhanced visuals : I've reworked the outdated Post-Processing profiles
A new puzzle type : The Hideaway now also features digicodes, you will new need codes to enter certain areas
New high-tech bases : Interactive physical buttons, animated doors, new sound design and visuals
Workbenchs are now all fully implemented into the game : 3D printer, Mechanical Workbench, Basic Workbench and Chemical lab
Resources for crafting can now also be mined using the "mechanical arm" wisely placed over a resource deposit
Added a new type of plant : There are now some healing plants that can heal you from certain diseases
A new defense system : The military bases now features an air to ground defense system, firing autoguided-missiles
In-game survival system notifications : The game now notifies you if your player catches a disease, eats something or if the current exterior temperature drops by any reason
New soundtrack system : From now a random soundtrack will play from the game's playlist
Not eating now kills you : If your stomach volume stays at 0% for some time, your player will die
The Island map : Without any other way of extracting than crafting a spacecraft you will have to find and use the mechanical workbench out there to craft resource extractors, trolleys, smelters, a 3d printer etc... in order to craft all the necessary elements
AI system balancing : I've rebalanced the AI behaviour for it to be globally more friendly
The spacecraft combat system is now completely implemented into the game
There is now a space combat training mode in which you will have to try to survive to hordes of enemies flying Gen. 1 fighters
Food-related diseases (formerly toxic bushes related diseases) are now only catchable by eating fruits from toxic bushes
Some Gen. 1 aircrafts are now craftable using all the high tech workbenchs
All the bugs and issues present in the older versions of the game should now be solved.
What am I currently working on ?

I'm still writing and implementing the story in every environment and debugging the notes system
I'm still debugging the crafting and building system
I've been working on environments and different bases accessibility : digicodes, petrol generators, "jumps" to make and missiles doging
I'm currently working on adding physical destruction to some vessels, and space stations
I'm still working on the different maps extracts
I am planning to create a "nuclear generator maintenance system" in which the player will have to "maintain" the high tech nuclear generators findable in recent bases
I am also working on making all game keys bindable and graphics fully customizable
I am also working on a craftable buggy that can be driven (will be part of the 1st chapter)
The chapter 1 story trailer is out ! Go check it out !
Watch on YouTube
The Hideaway : Chapter 1 will be released on Steam in August 2023. There will be few open test phases in order to hunt bugs before the official release in late June on the official Discord server.

Hey everyone ! I hope you're all doing great ! Welcome to this 4th devlog about The Hideaway : Chapter 1 update
What's new about The Hideaway : Chapter 1 ? What has been implemented so far ?

From now, as a space explorer, every mission will start on your "Main Ship", the Infinity Mark 3, a large 2 decks exploration spaceship featuring a large hangar containing your personal fighter ship. It's the place where you'll monitor all your upcoming missions.
New Ship : The TCS Constellation, a medium-sized 3rd generation exploration vessel you may encounter in your journey
New Interfaces : You willl be able to choose the destination of your next trip by interacting with the Infinity main holo-table : here will start your journey
New HFCS spacecraft : You will have access to one of the most advanced fighter : the HFCS Dream, featuring hyperspace travel and a 12 million watt laser turret capable of firing nearly 600 times per minute
A new space station : You will be able to explore the Earth explorator's research space station !
Emergency vessels have also been included to the game, you may need them, who knows ?
Once you have chosen your planet of destination, you will find yourself in a random environment from those available on the planet, from which you must extract yourself. Gathering informations about what happened here may also be helpful
A new character model and new animations has been implemented : you now have a proper pilot's outfit !
The Hideaway : Chapter 1 will feature 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation fighters and vessels. Most of the stuff you will find on Earth and on Exoplanet K2-3d may not work as well as it once did...
What about the older vessels ? : The LFCS Typhoon presented in the last devlog is part of the 1st generation fighters but is still mainly used in airspace security systems because of its versatility, simplicity and automation capability.
Thanks a lot to everyone for being part of the community, thank you so much for supporting the project ! I know the wait is long but the result will live up to your expectations !
See you soon !
Cordially,
Rec0re.

Welcome to this first devlog about The Hideaway and most importantly about The Hideaway - Chapter 1 ! I hope you're all doing well !
It has been quite some time since I've posted something around here and I'm really sorry about that, I will try to keep you informed more about what I'm working on and at what stage are things at through this devlog format :)
What will be the new features of The Hideaway - Chapter 1 ?
Well I've been working on implementing many new things from new game logics and mechanics to visuals, sound effects and environments but what this update will feature most importantly is the setting up of a new different story for each environment
New game mechanics :

A new crafting and inventory system : table-based and recipe-based, you will be able to gather, extract and craft many objects, but still no weapons ;)
Vehicles : A buggy will be craftable using special workshops and tech you will have to find, allowing you to move around bigger environments
Generators / Petrol : You will have to find Jerrycans which you will have to fill in petrol in order to activate some electricity generators, giving you access to some special places to explore
Button puzzles : To activate certain systems you will have to activate some buttons in a precise order, which you will have to find in some notes around every environment
Notes / Story system : The story of each environment will unfold through notes that you will find in places abandoned by humans, recounting their stories
Automatisation : You will be able to craft resource extractors and conveyors, to deport your resource production. Further automatisation will be the subject of a subsequent update.
New environments :
Three new environments will appear in the game, one large environment and two smaller ones, all featuring their own secrets :)
Enhancements :

Bloom and smoke effects
New sound effects and sound management
Survival status balancing
And many more...
Many other things are going to be added / modified according to what the community asked for :)
Stay tuned for the release of The Hideaway - Chapter 1 !

I wish you happy holidays !

Hey everyone ! :) I hope you're all doing well
After several months of hard work, The Hideaway V0.2.0 is now finally playable ! And it's one of the biggest update the game has received at the time
What's new in this update ?

A whole new AI system : I've completely changed the AI system, for a way more efficient, less source of bugs
New animations : All animal animations have been reworked completely and new animations have been added : attacks, sleeping states, idle states, surprised states ...
New sound effects : Many sound effects has been changed from the ones related to the player and the animal ones
New animal beahviours : All the animals in The Hideaway now have their own behaviour, they can Attack you, sleep, be distracted by a sound or a meteorological event, they may hear you or see you depending on the lightning of the scene and the ambient sounds, even be unhappy with your presence or call others
Volumetric lightning : I've now fully implemented some volumetric lightning on all the maps currently available
Post-Processing rework : I've reworked and optimized all post-processing-related visuals
Two new animals just appeared : There are now Wolves and Chickens wandering with you in The Hideaway
A new interactive tutorial : As many players had difficulties to understand correctly how to play the game in Survival mode, I've implemented a complete and interactive tutorial guiding you through all the necessary steps to understand the basics of Survival in The Hideaway
And what has been patched ?
I've patched the majority of the bugs that were reported by players in the last version of the game, however I'm sure that you will encounter some more so join the official discord server to report them ! :)
Link to the official discord server : https://discord.gg/kth2pwuxDC
What about optimization ?
I have tried to optimise the hideaway as a whole as much as possible however some low-end or middle-en PCs could still run into some issues so don't hesitate to report them to me :)
I hope you will enjoy The Hideaway and I really hope you will like this new update,
Thank you so much for being part of the community and see you soon !
