Hello there! First, we want to apologize that there hasn't been any news for a long time. Right now, we've started testing another update, which will be released during the first week of December. The update is interim and it'll contain lots of fixes and some mechanics you've asked for.
As you know, the release of the game is planned for February 2018, we’ll make at least two large updates by that time which will contain: new mode "The last survivor", location "Dead Swamp" and a range of new game items like weapons and outfit. We’re also planning to rebalance the loot and the store, we’ll tell you more about it later.
Here’s the approximate list of the upcoming update:
[Corrections]
1) Fixed the bug when the collision between players and animals didn't work.
2) Fixed the bug when the process of skills learning wasn't updated after the character’s respawn.
3) Fixed the bug when weapon skills could be upgraded using traders of the opposite faction.
4) Fixed the bug when the faction was reset when one restarted the game after completing the quests line "Redemption".
5) Fixed the bug when small cars could enter through the net (pass the guard?) at the "Berezki" location.
6) Fixed the bug when some objects could be seen through the grass.
7) Fixed the bug when there were no shadows on the roads.
8) Fixed the bug when the quest "Swamp raid" restarted automatically when the game was relaunched.

11) Fixed the bug when live animation could be played on a dead animal and it could not be killed.
12) Fixed the bug when invisible animals could attack the player.
13) Fixed the bug when NPCs didn’t attack passengers in the car. Now, if the player in the car hits the NPC, the passengers get into the list of enemies as well.
