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.
The launch of Season 3 (the next pack of cool stuff we're going to give you as part of the free DLC) is almost upon us. That is why we decided that it is time to shed some light on what we have prepared for you. We'll start with something that made our team scream profanities and smash keyboards on the wall. Not because we're uncultured or something like that. It's all to do with the new difficulty level. Because with something like Gate of Madness, the Insane level sounds like a walk in the park on a summer morning.
