The Chernobyl Exclusion Zone is home to many interesting places and objects that deserved to be immortalized in our game. Apart from the obvious ones like the nuclear power plant and the city of Pripyat, there is also the monstrous Duga over-the-horizon radar, more commonly known as the “Moscow Eye”.
Without further ado, we invite you to read the third and final episode of the series, in which we share with you the backstage of creating the music in Chernobylite. We would like to thank Mikołaj Stroiński for his contribution to our entries so far. At the same time, we would like to welcome Krzysztof Chalusiak, our friend, sound designer and composer, who will talk about the process of creating songs for some famous missions in the game.
A few weeks ago, we showed you some pictures of the newly created map, which will be introduced in one of the next DLCs. This is the map showing the distinctive looking cooling towers of units 5 and 6 of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. We visited those locations personally to get the reference materials.
You enjoyed the material and this makes us very happy. Today, as promised, we present to you the second installment of the series. This time we looked at exploratory melodies, characteristic of the locations visited by Chernobylite’s protagonist - Igor. Again, we give the floor to composer Mikołaj Stroiński, but also to Sound Designer Krzysztof Chalusiak from our studio, who contributed significantly to the creation of the soundtrack.
We have a new weapon for you in the upcoming DLC - a fast-firing and extremely quiet crossbow! Thanks to it, you will be able to silently kill your opponent while sitting in the bushes.
Soon after the full version of Chernobylite was released, we were surprised to see that many of your opinions about the game specifically mentioned the soundtrack. You praised it a lot, above all for its excellent rendering with the atmospheric sounds of the desolate Chernobyl Zone. At the same time, we started receiving questions about whether the game soundtrack would be made available sometimes in the future.
Our weekly reports focus primarily on how Chernobylite was developed. However, this time we're going to tell you a bit about how the game actually works. In this context, it only makes sense to start with the most obvious: weapons. After all, the survival nature of Chernobylite requires you to defend yourself in all possible ways.
In our reports, we often refer to what we are preparing for you in the near future. This way we revealed the content of Ghost Town step by step a few weeks before the release of this update - little things that didn't say much, but were quite enough to satisfy your appetites. Today we would like to look a little further - a few months ahead, to talk about something really big. Literally and figuratively. Here are the unfinished cooling towers of units 5 and 6 of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant!
