The blog is back!

Info

Before Unturned released on Steam back in 2014 I would make development related posts every few days on blogger which was how everyone kept up with Unturned news, but now of course we have the Steam announcements for update notes and Steam discussions as a proper forum! I was thinking it would be nice to have another area for more behind-the-scenes information and posts that wouldn't fit the announcements section, so here we are: the blog!

Welcome back if you were around during 2.0 development, and hello if you joined in during 3.0! (which I suspect is the majority) Right now I'm planning to upload the work-in-progress screenshots that nobody has seen from 3.0 development over the past couple years, anything interesting from Unturned or side projects I work on, tutorials for interesting problems and maybe progress reports from the Russia map team.

This is the theme I had in mind, but couldn't find any like it, so I made it myself which proved interesting as I hadn't used very much CSS before. LearnWebCode's WordPress theme introduction was quite handy for getting started with this:
