Hey, survivors! ❄️
Since many of you have been with us since day one, we want to stay transparent and give you a sneak peek into what’s been happening behind the scenes with Winter Survival. With that said, it’s high time for an update on what we’ve been working on over the past few months. Ready to hop on the trolley and see what’s ahead? Then, let’s get this trolley rollin’ ????
What are we working on right now? ????
ACT III for Story Mode ????
As some of you might already know, we’re currently hard at work bringing ACT III of Winter Survival’s Story Mode to life, which will mark the finale of Danny’s journey through the treacherous, dangerous, and relentless wilderness. Simultaneously, the release of ACT III means that Winter Survival will leave Early Access and officially enter its 1.0 state.
What about the Survival Mode? ????
That’s a pretty damn good question. The release of ACT III also means that Survival Mode will be getting new features as well. This includes another scenario to choose from, a fresh chunk of map to uncover, and of course, brand-new mechanics and flintastic features that I’m going to have as an ace up my sleeve ????
Is that all you got? ????
Definitely not! We’re still actively looking at your suggestions via Steam reviews and discussions as well as on our Discord server. Thanks to your invaluable feedback, some of the features that didn’t meet your expectations — like the torch rework, building system, and trolley damage mechanic, to name a few — have already made their way into our internal testing branch.
However, it’ll take some time to test them properly because we want to give you a product that’s as error-free as possible. Simply put: once we’re happy with the internal quality, that’s when the update will go live. Also, please keep in mind that if you’ve played Winter Survival recently, you might not have seen these changes reflected in gameplay just yet.
What’s next? ⏭️
Now, it’s time to talk a little about how we plan to keep you more regularly updated on Winter Survival’s progress over the coming months. First and foremost, we’re planning to bring back regular development updates here on Steam. Personally, I’ve always enjoyed creating these kinds of materials, and based on your responses before Winter Survival launched, it seemed like you did too. We’ll be combining that renewed communication with themed months, starting in June, when we’ll focus on Story Mode and how development is shaping up.
Apart from that, I highly encourage you to join our official Discord server and follow our social media accounts. There’s going to be a lot happening soon — AMAs, Dev Talks, Q&A sessions, just to name a few. And hey, don’t hesitate to leave a comment below if you have any suggestions on how you’d prefer us to communicate with you.
Stay up-to-date ????
And that’s it for today’s announcement! As always, if you have any suggestions, ideas, or problems, make sure to leave a comment below. I believe the next announcement should go live by the end of May, so if you don’t want to miss that, be sure to follow Winter Survival on Steam and our social channels. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts — but for now, stay sane and don’t let those pesky wolves catch you. Until the next devlog! ????
