Aloha Thrivers! We’re excited to share our progress and the latest updates in the game. We worked on vendors, a new beach area, an overhaul of the foliage and the neighborhood around the Comm Tower, storm effects and lots more.
Your feedback is very important to us so keep it coming! If you’re interested in helping out head over to our discord let us know! We love hearing your ideas and talking about what’s coming up next.
Here’s a look at the biggest improvements and news about the latest features you’ll find in the game.
New Beach Area
We built out a beautiful new beach area for players to explore.
With abandoned research buildings on the beach
And the jungle.
There are even ruins of an old neighborhood, perfect for exploring or taking shelter from mutants and the elements.
Foliage Update
We’ve made some big improvements to the foliage including more realistic-looking meadows bordering the jungle.
Player’s will find new types of plants and trees to harvest across the map
And we even added coconuts.
Vendor Stalls
We continue to build out a survivor marketplace inside the game’s starting area, The Thorcon Power Plant. Our goal is to have a thriving safe zone where players can get everything they need to help them make it outside the walls of the building. Here’s a look at a clothing stall we’ve been working on from the original drawing to a final paint-over.
Storm Effects
With all the beauty work we’ve done we decided it was time to grunge a few things up.
Beaches will now show the effects of storms
With more debris washed up on shore and an occasional reminder of those who didn’t win the struggle to survive.
Respawn Bed Update
Our Thorcon overhaul moved up a level into the spawning area this month. We’re giving our restoration beds a facelift taking into consideration what a player could find combing the ruins for parts.
Here’s a before and after showing the difference between a new respawn bed and the lightly used jury-rigged version.
