DevBlog 01/05: Update 1.7.



LoneSurvivor



New Year holidays is a wonderful time to visit your friends. However, it’s perfect not only for holding feasts and running after turkeys, there is also some serious business to deal with. Meet Raiders that will tell you about other survivors’ bases, stock up on hatchets, find С-4 and set up to fill your backpacks!

If you thought that our team has already left for decorating Christmas trees, serving holiday feasts and having rest after a busy year - no, we have not. We’re still working hard and hurry to bring you one more event during New Year holidays. We want to make the first episode of our Dev Blog in 2018 a bit more personal and show you the first sketches of the new event :)

So, Raiders! Events that led to the apocalypse influenced those who survived in different ways. Some of them managed to keep their minds clear while others found a way to thrive on human misfortunes. Raiders belong to the second type. When you meet them, you’ll have to decide whether to put a profitable deal through or refuse the cooperation. You’ll learn the consequences of each option yourselves, we’ll only tell you about the main aspects.

Raiders know where bases of other survivors are located and where you can get the most profit. Attack other players’ bases, break everything you see, take most valuable loot but be careful - noise attracts zombies!

This event will become a serious challenge for the ones who wait for multiplayer so much. If you get involved into raids, be ready to have your base raided by a neighbor with an axe as well. The number of spike traps you can put around your base is now restricted to 300. The extras will turn into trash that you can take to pieces and return a part of the resources. We highly recommend you to think long and hard about boxes placement, upgrading walls and securing your property at most.

Raiders will find you when they have something to offer you. Share your loot with them and earn reputation in order to get more valuable leads. Remember that raiders are tough guys and if you try to fool them when sharing the loot, their punishment won’t make you wait. We would like to pay your attention to the fact that as soon as you accept raiders’ offer, other survivors will also be able to attack your base.

How can you raid others’ bases with a pickaxe and a shovel? Of course you can’t. Which means it’s time to add something you’ve been waiting for so long! C-4 is now available for use! If you aren’t scared of zombie hordes that come running when they hear noise, then it’s the best option to destroy firm walls on survivors’ bases. You can find C-4 in the bunker as well as on other dangerous locations.

You often ask us if this or that item, weapon or event is ready. Why don’t you add a weapon if it’s ready. C-4 is an excellent example for clarifying the situation. C-4 was ready quite a while ago but there was no point in adding it in the Halloween or Christmas update. Every item should have its propose and Raids is the perfect moment to add C-4. The same situation with other items, characters - you’ll see everything as soon as the time comes.

Raids is the event many of you have been waiting for and we hope it will engage your interest and keep you entertained over the New Year holidays. We’re gonna follow you results because it’s the first version of the event and not the final one. Don’t forget to visit our official communities - we have prepared new stories based on the Last Day on Earth universe. Survivors, we wish you to have wonderful Winter holidays!

Dear iOS users, the update will be available in the App Store in 2-3 days. Thanks for your support! Read about future updates in our blog’s next posts!
