Hunters,
We hope you have all managed to survive so far in Zakov and had a good holiday in your bunker. We are back and bringing you the New Year Edition of the developer update!
As we mentioned in the previous blog, Zakov is becoming an even more dangerous place as you'll now start to encounter emissions from time to time. The upcoming Update 0.28 will (radioactively) rain on you right next week!
Upcoming Patch
Content Update 0.28 Preview - Live Next Week
Game engine update
We've updated the game engine from Game Maker 2.2.5 to Game Maker LTS which enables further opportunities for us to make changes to the game in the future.
Emission
Why are all the crows flying away? What is that sound from afar? Are you hallucinating?
Radioactive Rain
Nowhere to run, nowhere to go, radioactive rain is down upon you!! Will you accept your death, or will you fight it?
QoL Improvement Highlights:
As always, we cannot express how much we appreciate everyone’s feedback, feel free to send us more in our Discord, Twitter or elsewhere. You are helping us to make a better game for you!
- We heard you loud and clear, and we prioritised the key binding overhaul so more players could enjoy the game in their own settings. You can now rebind any actions to almost any keys on your keyboard and mouse!
- What is a barman if they can’t provide you food and drinks? Barman now can refill your hunger and thirst!
- Where did all the money you spent on healing and repairing go? Is there any embezzlement involved? Not anymore! Money spent for healing and repair will increase the global trader owned currency.
- Drinking and eating in bunker is now instant.
- Looted containers now appear grey-out when looting.
- And a lot more!
Luca Cornernera
Q: What will the game look like in 2023?
Luca: This is a very difficult question! We have features planned for almost all of 2023 so expect the game to change a lot during this period. I cannot share anything too specific right now, but we are eager to share more information with you when we can!
Q: How was your holiday? Any good gifts?
Luca: My holiday was very good. Although I did nothing and just spent time with my family and friends. Easy question! My girlfriend gifted me this, it’s so cool!
Q: We are in 2023 now, any new year resolutions?
Luca: Not really, I usually don’t plan any resolutions for new year 😀
Final Words
Update 0.28 will go live on Steam next week. If you want to take a sneak peek at what the new update has to offer, tune in this Thursday at 4PM GMT on our Twitch channel as we show off the new content. Also be sure to keep your eyes out for coverage from some of your favourite creators as certain influencers will be getting access over the weekend!
We hope you continue to survive and contribute to making Zakov a better place, one way or another. We will see you next time!
