- Let’s talk Frequency: Chernobyl - development progress notes - 10 February 2021
Hey there, Community! We haven’t shared any info with you in a while, but rest assured - the game’s development is in full swing! In this article, we’d like to give you an update regarding the progress made in the last couple of months. Locations, textures, and lightning The story of Frequency: Chernobyl takes place in a relatively small area surrounding the Duga OTH radar system. The protagonist won’t have to explore a large open world, thus allowing us to focus on modeling the 3D assets for a photorealistic recreation of the game’s real-life locale. This rather broad array of tasks includes model positioning, post-processing, lighting effects, as well as recreating textures and materials according to the photos and videos that were taken on-site, etc. As you know, the mighty Duga radar station and the buildings surrounding it were deserted for a very long time, so we had to take this…

Hey, friends! Welcome to Drunkard Racoons Radio and today we continue discussing our very first project Frequency: Chernobyl.

- Frequency: Chernobyl Dev Diaries: Numbers Stations and Secret Ciphers - 23 October 2020
Thanks for tuning in, everybody! You are listening to Drunkard Racoons and today we invite you to take another look at the history of our first project — Frequency: Chernobyl. While the bulk of the team is busy working on the GUI, designing in-game locations, and composing dialogues, we would like to introduce you more thoroughly to the game's narrative as well as the types of puzzles that one should expect to encounter during their playthrough. Why the number stations? Before we answer that, let us take a little detour. The game was originally envisioned to have a somewhat different setting: taking place during the Cold War and focusing mostly on espionage, with puzzles based on the outdated ciphers used during WWII, the "Enigma" code and the Turing machine, etc. Old Soviet posters, screenshot from Frequency: Chernobyl Over time, however, the idea has evolved. We figured that there wer…
