Build 2026.10.04

Changes since the previous build (May 2026).

World

  • Global weather system: rain, fog and cloud, selected by season, hour and temperature, with crossfades between states.
  • Temperature model driven by climate, season and time of day.
  • World wind: affects fog, cloud, rain, particles, projectiles, and player and mob movement speed.

AI

  • Mobs perceive the player through sight (light contrast, line of sight, weather) and noise (movement speed, surface, gunfire).
  • Mobs investigate sounds and search the player’s last known position.
  • Factions with a stance table; mobs can be hostile to each other. Friendly fire is on.
  • Territory: mobs hold home ground and lose nerve when far from it.
  • Navigation meshes baked per level; mobs avoid obstacles and recover when stuck.
  • New mobs: an armed gunman (loads, fires, reloads) and a friendly villager with dialogue.
  • Mobs drop their inventory as a loot bag on death.

Player and combat

  • Aim line replaced by a gun sight showing spread; spread settles over time and tightens when aiming down sights.
  • Light aim assist.
  • Acceleration and deceleration on movement.
  • Running, and a stamina pool shared by running and dodging (replaces the dodge cooldown).
  • Two weapon slots, each with its own ammo and calibre, swapped via the quick-select wheel.
  • Camera zooms out to keep the sight in view.
  • Death respawns the player instead of ending the run.

Systems and UI

  • Save & Exit, and Continue from the title screen.
  • Settings menu.
  • Inventory tooltips, grid switching with the bumpers, and quick transfer (LT + A).
  • Menu sounds; menus no longer wrap.

Fixes

  • Loading a magazine via gamepad or touch no longer destroys the ammo.
  • Targets are no longer hidden from sight by their own bodies.
  • Mobs face their target.
  • Mobs in a saved level no longer disappear on Continue.
