Greetings, detectives!
We continue to keep a development diary of Outbreak Island, a detective survival simulator. Today we would like to tell you about the creation of useful items, show you the sights of the island, and introduce you to one of the most dangerous inhabitants of this place.
Crafting
Throughout your journey in Outbreak Island, you can not only find useful items, but also make them yourself. For example, the first aid kit. The local military once had a large stock of medicines, but over time some of them have fallen into disrepair. Medical supplies in Outbreak Island can be found at army posts, in laboratories and in the abandoned city. If the search is unsuccessful, a first aid kit can be made from found bandages and alcohol.
You can craft a first aid kit on the go perhaps, but there will be problems with cooking. In Outbreak Island, food is the key to good health! With the help of the campfire and found mushrooms, berries and minced meat you can cook some food.
Crafting occupies an important place in Outbreak Island gameplay. Crafted items will help you survive, gain an advantage in combat, as well as solve a case.
Please note that the game's UI is under development and the screenshots/videos above are not the final version.
The Transformed
Check out the final concept art for one of the Transformed in Outbreak Island. It's much bigger and more dangerous than the others.
The Environment
We continue to improve the environment in the open world. We decided to remove the foliage to improve the optimization. This makes the game even more atmospheric and sometimes even scarier.
In future episodes…
In the following development diaries, we will talk more about the main game mechanic of Outbreak Island — the use of the camera for survival.
