Hello Survivors! It's sneak peek time! 👀
We apologize for the recent lack of sneak peeks. We've been working at full speed behind the scenes and are excited to get back to sharing regular updates. Today, we want to share a glimpse of the world design currently taking shape in Ardem.
It is very important to us that the world feels truly abandoned and believable. Nature shouldn't stop at the doorway just because a building exists. Large, open industrial spaces like the Claypit allow wind, rain, and sunlight to enter for years without maintenance, meaning vegetation slowly starts reclaiming the interiors as well. Small details like these help enhance the atmosphere and make the world feel more authentic and apocalyptic. 
We've also finally started working on the first proper interiors for the Claypit area. A lot of people have asked if interiors in Ardem will stay empty. Definitely not! We simply hadn't reached that stage of development yet. Spaces like the Claypit office are designed to be dense with detail, loot, and environmental storytelling. At the same time, many of these interiors are naturally very dark, creating dangerous situations where players may need flashlights or other light sources before entering. 
The last screenshot also shows more progress on Albington, the first town we are currently building. The overall layout and atmosphere are coming together really well so far. The next step will be another visual pass where we age and damage buildings further, add smaller environmental details, and then begin work on the interiors there as well.
More sneak peeks coming soon. Stay safe, Survivors.
