Survival Snippets #37

Bout to catch some waves with Fractured Veil!

Noteworthy

• Fractured Veil now has an Early Access release date of October 18th! You’ll also want to check out this fancy new game trailer.

• EndZone fans- the developers will throw up a Kickstarter for EndZone 2! If you’re interested in the title, I’d also recommend popping into their Discord (link in the article), as they’ve got a channel set up as a Discord-based DevLog library. It’s a pretty neat read.

• The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria releases on October 24th! On paper, I see a handful of survival mechanics, but I’m curious if that will translate to the actual gameplay or if it’ll just end up as a regular adventure/exploration game similar to Valheim.

• HumanitZ launches on September 18th! Nice new gameplay trailer too.

• Ooh, I like this chonky SCUM patch. The weapon charms are neat, and fixes are always welcome - but hey, WoW, take note. Name change using in-game funds, not real money.

• Another week, another Icarus update. That wonky horse-like mount is now in the game, alongside some neat-looking bone armor.

Wildmender (a desert gardening survival game about bringing a deserted world back to life, set to launch on September 28th) is partnering with the International Rescue Committee (IRC). This global non-profit organization helps people affected by humanitarian crises. Funds from a purchasable in-game item will be donated to the non-profit for one year.

• If you’re VR-capable, check out Bootstrap Island - the Green Hell quality visuals look pretty interesting! I need a VR setup. 😟
