Weekly Report #145 – Gate of Madness

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.

Weekly Report #144 – Buried village

In some of our previous publications we’ve been comparing the real world Chernobyl and its surroundings to what you can see in the game. Throughout this process we devoted a lot of space to the most famous locations near the famous power plant. But there is also one other location that plays a fairly important role in Chernobylite. For some reason it didn’t gain the notoriety it deserved. And it’s a shame, because Kopachi is a unique place and its history is worth knowing.

Weekly Report #136 – Conflicts are harmful

Basically we didn't want to add a romance option, as it would interfere with Igor's original goal of getting Tatyana back. Plus it wouldn’t translate well into horror. But at some point we went the other way, i.e. from love to anger. We designed mechanics of conflicts that would arise, depending on various players' decisions.
