• Devlog #3: Story Mode Under Way - 12 May 2025

  Hi Everyone, small announcement for upcoming story mode and final gameplay changes. The arena/extraction/roguelite (from last devlog) was fun although quickly became extremely challenging with the various shooter raider enemies so it will be merged with the story mode. Arcade style gameplay will be merged with story mode Open world gameplay will be sorted out in to mutliple smaller compact maps Fast travel between the locations. Fast travel will be done by entering and exiting your car, although there will be no driving. Blackwater has been extended and will be a normal location (not just a management screen) Classic RPG style dialogues with NPCs will be added to the game. (as a means for story mode) The next version 0.2 will contain some of the story mode along with the repeating bounties. The game will be kept in early access for a short time until the story is finalized and i will st…

• Devlog #2: Gameplay Changes - 22 April 2025

  Hey everyone, I'd like to announce the changes I'm working on for WastePunk. Since pretty much everyone found the gameplay lackluster and not very engaging, I'm working on some major gameplay changes. From some distance I could probably imagine a game that you would like this to be, maybe sort of large scale game like fallout 4 - although that obviously isn't possible as I'm just 1 person working on it. I'm keeping the elements that based on feedback I think you enjoyed the most; which was arcade style combat - the shooter part of the game. The major changes will be moving to a sort of arena/extraction/roguelite gameplay which is turning out to be pretty fun. I am also changing the visual style to be more of a dark/retro post apo - as well as changing the main character. There will also be some major changes to the marketing material. To be completely transparent only about 100 people b…

• Devlog #1 Final Core: Fixes & AI Polish Pass! - 12 April 2025

  Hey everyone! Thanks for posting your reviews and feedback on the 0.1v launch. I hear your concerns and have noted the issues with gameplay. At this point I have fixed all the problems/bugs noted - the few small bugs an melee AI issues. Along with these there were some issues with the AI in closed spaces. Blackwater was sort of a starting point for the launch and eventually will be just a location in the early-mid game, with updated role-playing content/mechanics. At this point I will be working on a more engaging gameloop with some mechanics update. I will be launching v 0.2 with a new more engaging game mode along with a few updates and new mechanics. Stay tuned!

• 0.1.1 Bug Fixes - 29 March 2025

  Fixed issues with looting containers in tight spaces. + Bumped rewards for main questline.

• WastePunk Launch - 26 March 2025

  Thanks for playing WastePunk! Especially to early players who have provided feedback on the demo and helped make an awesome game for launch. The content is still a bit sparse but hopefully the huge launch discount will make up for it! WastePunk has undergone so many changes it is almost a completely different game, for the better! Hope you like it and if you do let your friends know to play this currently small and very ambitious post apocalypse game. I personally feel like there aren't too many post apo games to play so I'm hoping to build a great community and make something special. Special thanks to Krak and Admin Elias who played all of the crazy WastePunk versions! Thanks again!

• Feedback Updates - 20 December 2024

  WastePunk has undergone major changes based on feedback from players who posted their thoughts in the community hub. That said wastepunk is shaping up and is going to be a fairly different experience from the demo. Changes include: Start in a town: Currently you will start in a town(Blackwater) overview where you can manage your equipment and buy ammo. This town will undergo changes in the future, shop upgrades, weapon upgrades & more. Choose a job in form of a bounty (hunt raiders) and return to earn cash to get better equipment and buy ammo. Streamlined inventory: Streamlined simplified inventory. Collect limited items and ammo. Community feedback major changes: Fixed rigid jump, movement & melee (complete movement rebuild) Starting gun and ammo Disabled survival system for now to find a better solution Buffed weapon damage Completely rebuilt weapons (new weapon system for future weap…
