- Patch v.05 - 13 September 2025
Small patch for the last update New items: Handmade Hatchet: a craftable hatchet in case the starting hatchet breaks, not really durable. New structures: Rudimentary anvil: a handcrafted rock anvil, easier to get at start in case metal is out of the game. Added a UI element in the inventory and during the game to show a main quest to follow in order to help facilitate the story progression. General Fixes: The starting hunting hatchet model has been changed. Fixed a bug in the anvil that would let the player click repair and start the bar progression when no weapon/armor was in slot. I reworked the crafting panel UI to allow an easier experience in finding items and crafting them. Fixed a part of the river that was non interactable.

- Apocalypse Island Out of Early Access! - 8 June 2025
We finally did it. After 4 months of Early Access and a total of 7 months of development, we are leaving Early Access and officially publishing Apocalypse Island. This was a long and hard journey, I developed the game entirely alone and I must thank all the friends, players and other people that played the game, supported me in this journey, gave me advice, made youtube videos, joined the discord server and everything else.I am really happy with what this game is today, even if it is not perfect, far from it surely, but I did it so I couldn’t be more proud.I hope you can enjoy the small game I did and let me know you did in some way. I accept every criticism and advice as I always did.Leaving Early Access does not mean that the game is closed. I will still fix bugs if anything comes out, but at least for a while I will not be working on any new big update or mechanic, I want to develop…
- New structures and fixes! - 29 May 2025
In this couple days I worked on some bugs and some new structures which I added in the game. I feel like base building can become more important and effective and I am going in that direction. Let me know what you think and thanks as always for playing the game! New item: Added a new item, the metal pipe, this item can be found and used to build structures, it cannot be used as a weapon because it’s too heavy to swing. Metal pipes can be found in chests but also looted from rusted cars around the map. New structures: Sticks fence: A new fence to surround and protect your base with only sticks and ropes! Crate: Added a new craftable chest to store items in your base, the crate, a simple and industrial container to keep everything organized. Wood entrance: A new entrance to substitute the usual gate!

- Cutscene and fixes - 27 May 2025
Hey everybody, with this patch I fixed some important stuff that you can read down here, I added a couple new spots on the map and most of all a starting "cutscene" with some starting lore. I feel I am making big progress in these last weeks, and that we are always getting nearer to leaving Early Access and releasing the full game! General Fixes: 🛠️ Now when the player is reloading the clock or the crossbow he can’t open inventory, build panels, chests or grills. Now when the player is eating he can’t take out the flashlight. Fixed a bug that would make the player’s head keep bobbing while sleeping. Added a sound when the player selects the flashlight. Fixed the wood gate not working. Fixed some bugs in the player inventory, when exiting the inventory with an item being dragged, the item would stop where it was and remain there forever, now the item is respawned in the inventory. Also,…

- New type of zombie and crafting mechanic - 18 May 2025
Hey everyone, this is everything that is coming out with today's small update. I started working on the building system for houses (roofs, walls, windows, floors ecc...) and it should come in the next update probably next week. Thank you! New enemy! 🧟 A new type of zombie got added with this update, meet the scrapped zombie! This zombie mutated differently from the normal ones due to where he lived, he’s made of a weird lime substance similar to blood and from metal scraps! Killing him will be harder, and he only walks around the desert… When killing these zombies the player can loot one piece of metal scrap from their dead bodies, making it easier to be found and used in craftings. Destroyable structures ⚒️ Now structures can be destroyed by keeping C pressed while pointing at them for a bit. When a structure is destroyed the materials used to build it will be dropped in the ground. G…

Added 2 new structures, the furnace and the campfire with pot, both for cooking. I thought having more structures that do the same thing could be cool to have more styles and make a base more unique.
- Small patch - 8 May 2025
Fixed a bug from last update, compass would not show.
- Zombies and general fixes patch - 6 May 2025
Hi everybody, with today's update I made some important fixes of bugs that were in the game since the start and some important additions. I worked on the zombies and I am slowly getting to have them be a bit better, update after update. I strongly agree to make a new saving because with old ones there could be a problem with the chests loot. Zombie movement and combat update 🧟: Zombies have been reworked for better hitboxes and hits. Now the player can hit from a little more distant, successfully hitting the zombies. This new method for tracking hit and hitboxes is being tested with this update so it is not perfect nor definitive, but I consider it a good progress from the previous bugged hitboxes. Now zombies should not spawn on roofs again. Zombies now rotate before hitting a player in order to look at him (still to be perfectioned). Important Fixes 🛠️: Fixed a bug that was there si…
