- LARGE-SCALE changes - 9 June 2025
Сharacter BuilderDadaskis is here... This is by far the most serious post here. At least, the one i'd actually wish to elaborate on. For the time being i've been working on a utility tool called "Character Builder". It is supposed to resolve one of the critical workflow issues that this project had whenever it came to creation of characters.How was it made before?Create a high-poly model of clothes to combine in one mesh afterwards.Making a quick, dirty low-poly with Instant Meshes.UV unwrapping, baking, texturing, quick rigging, tada.In 8 hours i could make one character! Or, not really 8 hours, sometimes more if you had to make quadruple NVGs for example. This workflow was blazingly fast, really. However, it was suffering from issues that were rather offputting for me as a developer:Each character would require at least 8 hours of work, of course, it could be less... but it would come…

- Happy birthday, INDEX - 0! - 9 April 2025
3 years of Index: Purger Three years ago, i was fooling around in my personal Godot playground in attempt to make some simple First-Person Shooter mechanics, like i did before in Unity. Back then, i didn't even expect what kind of rabbit hole this project is going to be. Major Milestones - Steam Page Of course, Steam is flooded with all games of any kind, to the point when nobody cares. But hey, now we have a page. @ostap_bender, dude, if you wouldn't help me, i'm not sure if this game would ever have one lol. I still owe you this one. - 1.495 Tasks Annihilated If i wouldn't have a to-do list, i wouldn't remember what did i do. I have 1.495 untold stories, and... Even if i can tell many of them in detail, i don't think it matters. I just want to tell you that there's a lot of things happening under each little detail of this game. This is labor of my love towards this digital dumpster f…

- Index: Purger, 4 patches in a row - 13 August 2024
Hello, everyone. I hope all of you had fun with demo of Index: Purger. During these days, i had released 4 patches (and god, i need to get a habit of posting details here too). Patch v1.0.1: - Attempted to fix save system (on player death) crash reported by both @Coypu and @eznoobies. The potential reason of this crash (logs say nothing as always) is related to bugged LocationBase reset function. I tried adding more "safety measures", and i really hope it got fixed - @Youssef reported a weird crash related to switch to last loadout menu, i tried to fix it up according to logs he sent, yet i'm not sure if that fixes it Patch v1.0.2: - Fixing the case of @Unnamed Entity that couldn't kill the infinite wave in ClothMan shop. This update is supposed to... fix it i hope. - Removing gas on save loading. Gas was one of the reasons why spawn-killing has occured as much. - Attempted to fix save…
- Index: Purger Start! (Blog #3) - 12 August 2024
*A message from the developer Dadaskis in the official discord 10/08/2024 Today is the Red Letter Day. Probably the biggest milestone in 2 years of this development mess! The demo is out. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2989940 And, i have to clarify that this demo-version is going to serve as healthy replacement of "Early Access". This demo-version will represent current state of this game and YOU can help to make it better by giving more feedback. It is pretty much experimental decision, of course, i really hope it'll work out. Currently there is version 1.0, i plan to make a couple of minor updates to it (a bit more polishment of existing levels and etc). During v2.0 i want to add more content, such as actual starting citizen location (m_day0_x, i miss you), mercenary operations and etc. I hope you'll have fun!
- Index: Purger Progress (Blog #2) - 30 December 2023
Happy New Year, dear citizens. It's time to show what we've been working on! Streets near the Get-Inn Mall With no comms with anyone, exiting this mall barely alive, You will have to find Your way to escape that sector to survive after this failed operation of Omega Security. Technical name of this game level is m_day1_3_post1, for now it is in development. m_day1_3_post1 is not the simplest game level to make for sure. Before that moment, there were limited, simplistic and brutalistic structures of the mega-mall. In this case, that's a whole cityscape to make, which, of course, requires additional assets to create a more believable experience. Example of such assets are cars: Stages of development for current time period Completion of the streets near the Get-Inn Mall Mainly it needs new assets to be developed for mentioned believable atmosphere of the dystopian cityscape. That means c…
