Welcome!
Another devlog, more news! A new companion in Tarvos – a drone that fights by your side!
Our drone has just received its final texture version. It’s not a shiny gadget fresh from the factory – its surface shows signs of wear, as if it remembers abandoned laboratories and the weight of Tarvos’s industrial world. Thanks to this, it will not only blend into the dark atmosphere but also become a believable part of the environment. It’s equipment that players will encounter in the full version of the game.
The Drone as the Player’s Companion
But the drone’s usefulness doesn’t end with blending into the dark setting – from the very beginning, we planned for it to become an active companion. Hovering by the player, it will:
- Lock onto enemies: instantly identifies threats and warns the player.
- Provide fire support: opens fire, distracting opponents and giving you a moment to counterattack.
Imagine exploring ruined corridors as the drone quietly flashes its sensors, fires precise shots, and lets the player focus on survival and tactics – the drone becomes an ally and… a living part of the world.
What’s Next?
The next step is to adjust the AI to dynamic combat situations and test how the drone reacts to the chaos of battle – whether it truly helps or still needs fine-tuning so it doesn’t distract the player.
Thanks for being with us!
We hope this quick insight into our work on the drone brought you a little closer to our daily life as developers and the atmosphere we’re aiming for. What do you think about the drone as a companion? What extra feature would you give it? Share your ideas in the comments and don’t forget to add Tarvos Desolation to your wishlist if you haven’t already – it’s the best way to help us keep growing the game!
