Developer posts and news about this game.
We've been heads-down on the demo for a while, so we made a roadmap to actually show where things stand. Nothing here is a promise carved in stone. It's just an honest snapshot of what's done, what we're building, and where we want to take it. The Foundation is already in the gam
Hello everyone! We're happy to share a fresh look at Paleolith's main menu . From the very beginning, we wanted to create an interface that feels like a natural part of the Stone Age world. The design relies on stone textures and hand‑drawn charcoal icons, aiming to feel authenti
Hi there! Today we want to share one of the mechanics of our game with you: hunting . In Paleolith, animals don't wait to be found. The deer hears footsteps, catches your scent, and flees long before you even see it. To succeed in a hunt, you need to: — move against the wind, — s
Hey everyone! We are moving towards the upcoming playtest, so now is a good time to share content updates with our community! Today, we want to show one specific mechanic that will be in Paleolith. You can pick up spruce branches from a tree and use them to make a bed to sleep in
In Paleolith, sleep isn’t just a menu option — it’s a real, animated action. We’ve been working on a basic version of the sleep mechanic, and here’s how it works right now: The character lies down with a full-body animation Time speeds up — fatigue, thirst, hunger, and health cha
( Direct link , just in case) Here’s a look at our spear fishing mechanic - now supported by a reactive water system . The water responds to: – fish movement – player movement – thrown objects like spears or rocks It’s intentionally hard to hit a moving fish - especially with imp
Hey everyone, We're making steady progress on the essential survival systems. Here’s a look at two core mechanics that are already playable: eating and fire maintenance. (If this animation stutters or runs slowly on your device (especially on iOS), you can watch it on YouTube .)
Here’s a first look at our fire system in action. Everything you see is physical — no scripted burning (Burning process below is sped up for clarity) Logs burn down into chunks and disappear over time Fire spreads between physically interacting logs Sparks fly as wood crackles an

We’re excited to share the latest trailer for Paleolith! Over the past few weeks, we’ve been hard at work setting up every shot and animation rig, and we’re thrilled with how it all came together. This new trailer offers a fresh glimpse into the world of Paleolith — from its hars
One of the first challenges you’ll face in any survival game is finding food. Unlike other threats in Paleolith, hunger is a constant — an ever-present need that doesn’t ebb and flow with the seasons the way cold does. Fortunately, the wilderness offers many ways to fill your sto
Once we decided on Paleolith’s time period, the next big question was: where should the game take place? Survival games explore all kinds of environments — some set their challenges in dense jungles, vast deserts, open oceans, or even deep space. Each setting brings its own uniqu
Establishing our baseline Once we settled on the time period for Paleolith, we dove deep into research to understand the tools early humans used to survive. At this point in history, people hadn't yet mastered raw material crafting — there was no metalwork, no pottery, no refined
Humanity at its dawn — crafting its first tools, carving out a place in a wild, untamed world. Aeons of evolution have led to this moment, but now, stripped of modern comforts, you face the ultimate test: survive at all costs. This is the world of Paleolith — a first-person survi
