Hey everyone 👋
Time for another Shatterland update!
I’ve been working non-stop to polish the game before the December 11 release, improving performance, the tutorial, and many systems thanks to your feedback 💪
Here’s everything new 👇
⚠️ Important Notice — Save Files Reset
📢 All previous saves have been deleted for this update.
Many core systems (quests, inventory, UI) were deeply reworked, which made old saves incompatible.
➡️ This ensures better stability, smoother gameplay, and fewer bugs going forward.
Sorry for the inconvenience — it’s a key step toward release stability 🙏
⚡ Performance & Optimization
🧠 Game optimized for better performance → Improved world streaming, AI behavior, and object handling. → Overall smoother gameplay in large areas and combat zones.
🎮 FPS cap raised — now running at 60+ FPS → The game now performs much more fluidly, even on mid-range hardware. → Expect a more stable and responsive experience overall.
🧭 Gameplay & Early Game Improvements
📜 New intro text & improved tutorial! → The early game now explains mechanics more clearly for new players. → Includes tips on survival, looting, and crafting.
🎯 Quest “follow markers” added → Easier to track your objectives with visual markers on the map.
⚔️ Max level info added (Level 50) → You’ll now know the endgame starts after reaching Level 50 — prepare for harder enemies!
💀 Removed the old Boss Fight from inventory system → Debug placeholder fully removed.
🧟 Zombie loot timer fixed → Zombies now drop loot correctly after combat and despawn properly.
🧰 UI & Inventory Updates
🧩 Inventory system reworked → Fixed items going automatically into the action bar. → Better sorting and smoother item movement.
🧾 New HUD interface → Cleaner layout and improved readability.
🎮 New main menu for release → Updated visuals, smoother transitions, and better navigation.
🚗 World, Vehicles & Sound Updates
🧱 New boss zone completed! → Fully playable new area with enemies, loot, and story elements.
🔧 Expanded vehicle repair zones → Larger spaces for fixing and upgrading your vehicles.
💸 Fixed trader money duplication glitch → The infinite money exploit is gone 😅
🚁 Fixed helicopter sound volume → Adjusted the helicopter audio — it’s no longer too loud 🎧
🧴 All-Purpose Cleaner can still be drunk… but does nothing (for now 😆)
