- June 2022 Devlog - Fog Of War & Exploration Drone - 22 June 2022
Hello Survivors, I would like to take this opportunity to talk about what is currently being worked on in Death By FrostByte! These features and improvements will be available in the next update! What's New? Fog Of War We are currently experimenting with Fog Of War which will hide the entire map except for the starting area. You will be given an "Exploration Drone" which you can use to slowly uncover the map! The drone works by inserting coordinates for it to follow. The drone will have a light during the night. It will also require time to charge its battery. There will be upgrades available to speed up its exploration time and charge rate. Also, you can't buy land that is completely hidden. Buying land will clear all partial fog of war on it. Toggling Specific Warnings The next update will include some new improvements to the warning system. First, the warning panel at the top left si…
