Survival Gaming News

• The Infected is churning towards releasing the next big update, slated for sometime before the end of March. The new models are crazy and, alongside the new map, represent a major step up in the quality of the game. (Source)

• Another progress report has been posted for Mist Survival. It's good to see development continue on the game, though most folks would be happy if he spent some time fixing the broken shit first. Also, I'd be thrilled if multiplayer came out sometime this year- I always appreciate having another game to drag my sister into. (Source)

• It's been over half a year since the developers of Beyond Contact patched the game- or even posted an announcement on the development status to their Discord or Steam page. But they finally broke the silence to announce that they're close to a 1.0 launch, and there's a ton of new shit on the way. I'd hit the link for details and pictures. (Source)

• Hands down, I feel Above Snakes is just killing it in adding well-thought-out and impactful features. Bonus points- the art style is excellent, so everything looks even more adorable when new stuff is added, like the new horses used for fast travel. (Source)

• Serum has been posting lore and visual snippets for a while now- more frequently since they picked up a publisher. Unfortunately, while it's not a The Day Before situation, it's become pretty much like white noise to me. My interest level is subpar, even after following it since 2021. Is anyone else keeping tabs on this game? (Source)

• If you're into automation, this update is for you. If you want an item to automatically handle fueling and storage organization, this update is for you. This update is for you if you want to automate handling item generation, transport, and storage. But, oh shit, whoops, this may not be for you if you don't like Rust. (Source)
