- 2 Months of Progress – Espionage, Sabotage, & AI Systems! - 26 August 2026
Hello everyone! I am incredibly excited to share the results of my hard work over the past two months. I have been focusing on implementing a series of complex, interconnected systems that play a vital role in the tactical espionage and sabotage gameplay of my game.Here is a detailed breakdown of all the features and systems I have successfully implemented:🔥 Infiltration & Sabotage MechanicsOperative Infiltration: When executing specialized sabotage missions, you now take direct control of an embedded squad member acting as an infiltrated operative behind enemy lines.The Molotov Cocktail: I have added a brand-new throwable weapon type—the Molotov cocktail. It is highly effective for setting fire to and destroying enemy vehicles and targeted cargo assets.Jerry Can & Fire Propagation: I have implemented a jerry can (gasoline canister) and fire propagation system. You can now pour fuel on…

- Devlog: Convoy Ambush Mission - 23 June 2026
Hello everyone!I can’t wait to show you my progress on developing an ambitious new convoy ambush mission for my game. The player's main objective is to intercept and neutralize enemy transport units along their transit route.When designing the map, the biggest challenge was getting the scale just right. If the map is too small, the convoy breezes through it too quickly; if it's too large, the pacing drops. In the end, I think I found the perfect solution: allowing the player to utilize vehicles found directly on the map.Any drivable vehicle will be highlighted with a dedicated icon on your minimap. In this video, I'm demonstrating how you can hijack and take control of these vehicles for faster traversal. But beware! If you go in guns blazing and raise the alarm, the enemy will call in heavy reinforcements—an armored vehicle equipped with a deadly turret. Tangling with that will cut you…
- Demo Update: Espionage - 10 May 2026
Hello!Several weeks of hard work have passed, and during this time, I have implemented critical new features and updated the game's demo version.In-Game MessengerThis is a vital tool for immersion and interacting with the AI. Through the messenger, players can:Receive world reactions to ongoing in-game events.Unlock civil aid missions via message boards.Exchange information and target coordinates with allied forces.Conduct espionage activities.EspionagePlayers can now recruit agents using cryptocurrency. Agents are the cornerstone of building a spy network; they gather intelligence and provide support for embedded operatives. An agent's skills improve over time, and more experienced agents will unlock access to new operational opportunities.InfiltrationPlayers can now embed an operative—a member of their own squad—into enemy facilities. Unlike agents, operatives can carry out active mis…
- Demo Update: Added Ukrainian Localization and Imperial/Metric Units - 20 April 2026
Hello everyone!To streamline future localization, the primary development of my game is done in English. I recently spent four full days translating over 3,100 words from English into Ukrainian. Honestly, I didn’t expect so much text content to have accumulated already—mission descriptions, inventory items, various settings, and UI elements. I’m happy to announce that Ukrainian localization has been added to the new demo version!In addition to the localization, I’ve added a setting to switch between Metric and Imperial (US) measurement systems.Thanks for all the support. Keep an eye on Steam and my social media for more updates soon!
- Demo Update: The Global Map & Logistics Overhaul - 15 April 2026
Hello!I’ve spent the last four months improving the AI and polishing the game's core. The new demo version provides a clear look at the direction the game is headed. A key part of the gameplay takes place on what I call the Global Map. The player’s task is to prevent the enemy from capturing allied settlements and to help allied forces liberate occupied ones. To achieve this, you must develop your squad, select targets, and complete missions.Key Mechanics● Settlements: These consist of key locations such as warehouses, railway stations, and factories. To capture a settlement, you must establish control over all of its constituent locations.● Logistics: This is a vital component of combat. Settlements use resources (food, water, etc.) to create squads on the global map. A settlement's military potential is limited by the current amount of resources available at its key locations.● Resour…
- Devlog: Voxel Trenches - 22 December 2025
Hi everyone! For the assault missions in my game, I really want to incorporate trenches. Trenches are one of the oldest types of fortifications.The problem is that the Unreal Engine Landscape isn't very well-suited for this task:It requires labor-intensive 'dressing' of the trench edges with 3D earth models to hide ugly, stretched materials.Moving, modifying, or reusing trenches within a Landscape is extremely time-consuming.After struggling with it for a while, I decided to switch from Landscapes to voxels. Voxels are 3D pixels that allow for vertical 'walls' of dirt or stone, requiring almost no additional masking with 3D models.Beyond just trenches, I have successfully adapted voxels for road placement and heavy vehicle mud tracks. Currently, I’m working on adapting my Unreal PCG forest spawners for voxels.Since voxels support real-time terrain deformation, it opens up the possibilit…
- Devlog: Outpost Buildings - 1 December 2025
Hello! I want to demonstrate the progress in the development of Outpost Buildings.A well-equipped outpost serves as a base of operations for your fighters. At outposts, fighters can heal from injuries, sleep, and craft and upgrade weapons and equipment.To build outpost buildings, you need materials, which can be purchased in the store. Buildings are placed in empty placeholder cells of the outpost. In addition to resources, construction requires workers. You can assign them in the assignment menu by selecting one or more free characters.Thank you very much for watching. Follow the news and updates on my social networks.
- Devlog: Resource Management - Hunger Mechanics - 24 November 2025
Hello! I want to demonstrate the progress in developing resource management, trade, and the hunger and dehydration mechanics. Resources necessary to maintain the combat readiness of the squad can be obtained through trade and by completing missions. The most important resources are food and water. Their shortage leads to a decrease in the squad's combat readiness and even the death of fighters from hunger or dehydration. It is also necessary to consider the resource storage capacity in the squad and at the outposts. If the number of resources exceeds the storage capacity, the resources will spoil and decrease. Thank you very much for watching. Stay tuned for more news and updates!

- Devlog: Suppressive Fire - 10 June 2025
Hello!For the last two weeks, I've been practically drowning in code, refining and deepening the combat system and AI. I am very excited to show you a new mechanic - Suppressive Fire.From a tactical point of view, suppressive fire is used to prevent the enemy from shooting at you and to allow for movement to a more advantageous position. When bullets fly past a character or hit close enough to them, the character's suppression level begins to rise. The higher the suppression level, the slower the character moves and the worse they shoot. For the player's character, being suppressed worsens the range and radius of their field of view. When a character's suppression level rises above a critical point, the character cannot stand up and can only move while crouching.The enemies have become significantly smarter and more dangerous. Now they can:Find and use cover.Use suppressive fire, preven…
- Devlog: Arrest procedure - 29 May 2025
Hello! I continue to improve the enemy AI. Now they can try to arrest you if the character has no weapon in his hands and no rifle on his back. Of course, a rocket launcher on your back will also prevent an arrest.:) Sidearm is allowed, but only in a holster. Oh, how I want to add the QuickDraw ability, so that you can escape from such a situation.:) Please, write what you think in the comments.
- New Optics Shooting Mode LIVE! - 12 May 2025
Hello! A top-down camera is very good for making tactical decisions. But sometimes it creates a problem with long-range shooting. I present to you a new shooting mode for weapons with optics. In this mode, the camera "detaches" from the character and allows you to use the sight mounted on the weapon – from iron sights to optical sights. The distance the camera can move away from the player is limited by the weapon's range. Try it right now. I am very much looking forward to your feedback.
