Last week we explained what chernobylite is (it turned out to be much more than a fancy name for the game). Furthermore we elaborated about the chemical effects of the explosion of the Chernobyl power plant. In today's report, we don't deviate so much from the topic of chernobylite crystals, because we used them to build something important for the whole game.
Today we would like to do something that we should have done from the beginning: answer the question: what is chernobylite? Sure, in interviews or somewhere in our previous materials, you could read that it is a substance that exists in reality and was created as a result of the explosion of the Chernobyl power plant. Now it's worth expanding on this idea a bit and... telling you about something else.
The base in Chernobylite is a special place. You can rest there after a hard mission, talk to your companions, and replenish your equipment. And most importantly, you can decorate it as you like. From your screenshots, we can see that you don't just place beds, crafting tables and plants inside. The furniture layouts in your bases go from extreme to extreme: from well-crafted apartments to massive mushroom farms. It's obvious that you enjoy it.
And here we are. 150 weeks ago the first Weekly Report appeared. Every week we informed you about the progress of work on Chernobylite, when it was released in Early Access. We presented you the backstage of the game's development, the secrets of the development of games in general, as well as numerous curiosities related to Chernobyl. Yes, there's been a lot going on, and we've got some exciting weeks ahead of us.
With the launch of Chernobylite’s Season 3, you received a surprise from us in the form of a new weapon - the legendary Soviet-made pistol - Makarov. It looks inconspicuous, but with some modifications it can become a deadly piece of equipment. And we wouldn't be ourselves if we didn't add some magic to it ;)
We looked through many of your comments on Steam and on our social media, and we came to the following conclusion: Gate of Madness is giving you a hard time. We warned you several times, but you didn’t believe us. But have no fear! We aren’t heartless monsters that will leave you alone to face such a cruel fate.
We promised you new content throughout the year, and we kept our word. This time we give you another package with a new map, new weapon and a new gameplay mode, plus additional fixes and optimizations that you asked for.
