More than 30 New NPCs With the new 30 NPCs and their unique lines of dialogue, the procedural worlds of 3571 The Game are more alive than ever. Replayability is at its best as you will be able now to meet very different people each time you generate a new world, from ninja soldiers to mutant idiots. It is now more than a hundred different characters than the game engine can use to populate the procedurally generated worlds of 3571 The Game. Most of the new NPCs will join your journey if you choose the right words with them. This gives funny and surprising gameplay loops between frequent fights to survive against d…

https://i.imgur.com/jXcKj6c.png Hi everyone ! What a year, I hope you are all fine.

- v.0.9 Stability Patch - 17 November 2019
Let's have a look at the new screenshots of version 0.9! And thanks to the latest patch, 3571 The Game version 0.9 is now very stable, and I finally got many positive player feedback about performance. https://i.imgur.com/b4WVelY.jpg 1. More FPS I implemented a completely new collision detection system. Precision is almost the same when selecting an item to pick or a NPC to hit, but a huge amount of unnecessary calculations in the physics engine have been avoided leading to exponential increase in performance. https://i.imgur.com/kdb6ePv.jpg 2. Less Lags I finally eradicated two major lags occurring during a game. The first one is when you kill a NPC: initially all the AI of every single NPC restarted to analyse their surroundings to be able to react to any death. This was fun sometimes, but sometimes leading to strange behaviors. Plus this caused this very uncomfortable lag. The second…

- 3571 The Game v.0.9 Update WIP #4 - 6 October 2019
The next 0.9 update of 3571 The Game is the most "Natural" Update: You can now grow 3 new types of fruits and vegetables! Simple to use, and priceless when you need long-term food supplies. https://i.imgur.com/gfA0DmU.gif Radioactivity and Global warming Fortunately, the Earth in the year 3571 is radioactive, and the global warming flooded 99,99% of the planet. If this can involve potential health issues for your avatar, this also leads plantations to grow super-fast and never need water. https://i.imgur.com/IFWCB53.gif Feel free to plant anywhere and you'll get delicious radioactive fruits in one or two days only! No really! Just put a fruit on the ground with the right click and wait, instead of the left click usually pressed to eat it. After 5-10 fruits, your plantation or tree will disappear quickly. https://i.imgur.com/7Nite0s.gif Three new types of vegan food If you can kill any a…
- 3571 The Game v.0.9 Update WIP #3 - 4 October 2019
Alien creatures and vegetation will spread on the last lands of our dying planet in the next 0.9 update: the future have never been so exotic! https://i.imgur.com/TtDoOyP.gif Alien dwarfs want the world Sometimes, while trying to survive the apocalypse you'll find yourself attacked by a strange small grey dwarf with a hole in the face: this is an alien invading the Earth! Kill him ( you need a good weapon! ) and you'll earn the most delicious and expensive meat on Earth: Alien meat! Once killed, just destroy it's body with a knife or your hands to get delicious alien meat that will calm your stomach for a whole day!

- 3571 The Game v.0.9 Update WIP #2 - 21 September 2019
A new enemy will haunt the procedural worlds of the next 0.9 "Natural" update: in the year 3571 wasps are giant and angry, but also provides brand new useful items. Let's have a look at this new apocalyptic mutant animal! https://i.imgur.com/hzw5qn8.jpg Flying murderer This monster comes from forest biomes but can also attack towns and isolated houses. If it can't fly very high, this new enemy can still seriously injure your avatar. If you win the combat, you'll be rewarded with a new weapon! The wasp will attack you, anyone else and even horses, slugs or chickens. If killing an isolated wasp is possible for an experimented time traveller, wandering around a Giant Wasp nest may cause your game to end brutally. https://i.imgur.com/hCE9MPi.gif Ready made wasp equipment New items will reward your courage in the next update of 3571 The Game: from one giant wasp corpse you will not only get…
- 3571 The Game v.0.9 Update WIP #1 - 15 September 2019
After 6 months of work on the game engine to get 2X more FPS, the next 0.9 "Natural" Update is on the way ! Let's discover the cutest of the 10 new NPC included in the next version of 3571 The Game: the chicken! https://i.imgur.com/78FlArI.jpg The less dangerous forms of life of the future The mutant slug is actually the easiest way to get meat, but it's still very strong and a real nightmare to kill especially for a new character. That's why chicken exists: easy food. The chicken is the second pacific animal of the year 3571 with the horse. You can find them hanging around in most of biomes, and they won't attack you unless you don't kill it at first try. They will fight back but will stop as soon as you walk away. https://i.imgur.com/mx231yy.gif Looting is caring You should manage to kill a chicken with no great effort. When it's done, you'll get good resources by exploding its body i…
- 3571 The Game v.0.85 "Performance" update new patch - 18 March 2019
Thanks to your feedback, 3571 The Game version 0.85 have been upgraded again with more FPS, better controls and new features in this new patch! https://i.imgur.com/vlbfSDH.gif More and more FPS The most demanding graphic feature was the water reflections, as they multiply draw calls by at least 2. So I decided to turn it off by default to speed up the engine, and I added an option on the pause menu to be able to activate it while playing. If the FPS drops too much, it's easy to uncheck the HD Water reflections effects without having to quit the game. New world generation is also faster as HD water reflections were slowing it a lot. In top of that physics of furnitures and items are simpler and faster, and still less clunky. The camera maximum rendering range has been reduced a little bit, increasing performance a lot without altering the visuals that much. https://i.imgur.com/TjPRPyE.gi…

https://i.imgur.com/aV6uaDx.gif Weeklong Deal: 40% off 4.03 > 11.03 ! Finally enjoy a 60 fps gameplay experience even fighting a thousand enemies in a huge and very dense procedural apocalypse. Don't miss the new gameplay video at the end! Faster Engine I : Unity 2018 Why so much time before a new update? Except the fact that I’m a solo developer with a full-time job, it’s mainly because I needed to switch to new Unity’s version for further development of the game, compatibility issues and of course, performance. To be short, when a new version is out, Unity automatically updates all your files the best it can, then you game opens with a thousand of red alerts telling you that half of your scripts won’t be able to work like they used to and that your game doesn’t work anymore. Of course, these scripts are connected to all the others, leading to nights of coding and puzzle-resolving. You…

- Graphical User Interface - v0.8 Work in progress - 10 November 2018
https://i.imgur.com/pF2M0Zbl.png As an art director during the day, I worked a lot on 3571 The Game design elements during the night. I am finally happy of the result after many years and many versions. I really like the new futuristic look and it is still very effective and fast to use, combining all RPG functions ( inventory, equipment, stats ) in one unique and small GUI window. LESS IS MORE WORK The new interface is 100% pixel-perfect, this was a lot of work to get things as small, precise and functional as possible: http://i.imgur.com/5JQnSbe.gif INTERFACE HISTORY 2013 • The global design of the game never stopped improving. For the first version in the Blender Game Engine, I still had to learn coding and 3D modeling so it was just tragically awful: https://i.imgur.com/BAm8E8Vl.png 2015 • After switching to C# and updating the game, I needed to code a more complex interface.

Today, let's have a look at the vehicles! https://i.imgur.com/bgUbXLM.gif Unlike mobs using a pathfinding algorithm to walk smoothly, cars objects must literally "roll" with simulated friction of the 4 wheels to go forward and turn like a real car. I'm still working on damage physical interactions between physics of vehicles and other world objects but the driving is already very smooth. https://i.imgur.com/1ac07dol.jpg https://i.imgur.com/r4B2x8cl.jpg I've designed 3 cars and 1 motorcycle model so far. https://i.imgur.com/Nu51IEBl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/aSHZLlhl.jpg Vehicles have complete lighting systems and nice dust effects when accelerating.

- Next Update Roadmap - Gameplay Options ( April 2018 ) - 24 March 2018
Hi everyone, and thanks for all the feedback. I think the next most important challenge for 3571 The Game is to give players more gameplay options while keeping the spirit and the difficulty of the original game alive. I started to work on this "Custom Gameplay" option: https://i.imgur.com/VPzSgxZ.png https://i.imgur.com/32EGE85.png The actual only option "training mode" could become a free demo, as the content is limited ( only one map, no procedural generation and limited items and enemies ) What do you think about that? Thanks for reading!
