Today we’re excited to announce Sheltered 2, in partnership with Unicube.  

Prepare to manage scarce resources and maintain your base to survive in a relentless world. Filled with factions, hostiles and environmental threats, the wasteland will challenge all those who seek shelter. 



Forge life-saving relationships!

Sheltered 2’s new factions system will be pivotal to a base’s success; players are able to send out expeditions to explore the vast and unforgiving wilderness, enabling them to forge relationships or ignite bitter rivalries that will be catastrophic if not navigated correctly.

Players can also trade resources with other factions, allowing both bases to survive and thrive together; or they can go head-to-head with rivals in an expanded combat system, using force to grow their foothold in the wasteland.  

Key Features: 

• Factions: The factions system allows players to forge relationships with other groups to provide their base with resources and support, or they can grab their weapons and take things the old-fashioned way 
  
  
• Resource Management: Players will balance the needs and wants of their survivors, manage scarce resources, craft items needed to maintain the shelter, and build equipment to keep their group alive  
  
  
• Permadeath: New for Sheltered 2. The leader is the most important member of the shelter, so permadeath means that if they die, the game is over. Starvation, asphyxiation, extreme temperatures, and combat are just some of the challenges players will face in the harsh wasteland  
  
  
• Combat & Weapons: When negotiations fail, players will wield a huge variety of makeshift weaponry against hostile outsiders, fighting to the death in turn-based combat to win the critical resources needed to survive  
  
  
• Characters: Survivors have their own personalities, traits, desires, and skills to acquire, and the ability to customise each individually means every faction member is unique.

Hey survivors,

We hope you're all enjoying Sheltered's newest scenario, Stasis!

Following the release of the Stasis update, the team have been working on some bug and quality of life fixes for the game.

We're pleased to say that the following changes are now in effect:

• Surrounded - The boss avatars sprites have been corrected in Surrounded.
  
• Surrounded - Fixed a crash that could happen at the end of combat when finishing a fight with a full inventory.
  
• Fixed an issue regarding hazmat suits not being removed correctly.
  
• Avatar sprites now updates correctly when you change your appearance with the wardrobe whilst wearing a hazmat suit.
  
• Items within the item bin will no longer duplicate.
  
• Stasis - The suits within the hazmat suit bay will now correctly save and load its stats.
  
• The item grid present within item transfer menus will now refresh correctly when altered.

Thank you to everyone who has been playing, giving us their feedback and joining the discussion over on the Steam forums - it's great hearing about your experiences with Sheltered as we continue to develop it.

Also a HUGE hello to our new Sheltered players who have joined us through the sale. If you have any questions as you attempt to survive the apocalypse, don't be afraid to ask!

Good luck out there.

Survivors,

Earth is dying. There will be no recovering from the apocalypse that man has unleashed onto the world.

The land is swarming with mutated people and animals, the weather conditions become more extreme week by week and resources have become all but non-existent.

Earth is no longer a home, you must reach out to the stars and find a new one…




In Stasis, our second scenario for Sheltered, you’ll be tasked with building and launching a rocket to leave Earth.

The game will be complete if you successfully find all the rocket parts and launch the rocket, or, if your family dies/become unconscious. There are eight different endings for Stasis, depending on the success, or failure, of your mission.

You’ll have 75 days to complete your mission before your shelter can no longer protect your family.




Wardrobe
This allows the player to change the outfits/colours of their characters during the game. It must first be crafted by the player using the crafting bench.

New planter functionality (With new fertilizer item)

• The planter now has a new added state - ‘Wilting’, before it dies.
  
• The planter can now use fertiliser to increase the yield of harvest.
  
• The planter can now be harvested at any time (so long as there is something to harvest)

New UI label is displayed on the map for visited locations showing what items the location can contain (survival mode only).

• This also tells the player which equipment they’ll need to unlock a hidden item (Stasis AND Survival).

Changing a party members loadout (weapon, equipped items and load carrying items) is now possible during an expedition (Using view map).

Clipboard now shows more information.

• There is a second tab on the clipboard panel. It shows the family stats and needs.

Unlockable, hidden items at locations (Require lockpick set, prospectors kit etc)

Locations with hidden items now show a question mark icon, which tells the player what they need to do to unlock the hidden items. The player can come back with appropriate equipment to unlock it.

Radio auto resolves now give the player more information (If someone was lost in the wasteland etc)

Characters lost in the wasteland now spawn a quest in which you can release them from a prison. The character will then return to the shelter.

Characters can now eat meat from animal traps without having to first create a freezer.

• Other items harvested (leather) at that time will go into storage like normal

New Icon & text for damage taken from bleeding, suffocation and radiation will display when a character is in the shelter.

• -1 health will appear above their head as floating text

Players can now reload their gun during combat (wasteland only). Ammunition is now present on the UI during combat, as is equipped armour.

• We display ammo in the clip and ammo in party storage

Item Bin

• The item bin is a new addition to the main survival mode. It is a solution to a problem we’ve had with player’s having to lose items when they return, and their storage is full. Now, any excess items not added to the main storage are added to the item bin on the surface. When it contains items, the lid appears off. When it’s empty the lid is on. Items contained are essentially an extended storage for the player, but items are regularly taken by passing people on the surface. The more items in the bin, when the bin men arrive, the more items they take.

Survival

• Fix for missing child quest locking the game up when finding the child.
  
• Fix for gas masks not showing up on character sprites during encounters (if equipped).
  
• Fix for items going missing when an expedition returns if their inventory was full and they equipped a gas mask.
  
• Fix for crash sites re-spawning at the same location when completed.
  
• Characters permanently becoming sideways when deconstructing a bed that is being slept in.
  
• Glitch where a single frame of the climbing out of the hatch animation would disappear.
  
• Fix for weapons going missing when equipping them mid-expedition (using the map screen) if the player has full inventory and already has a weapon equipped.
  
• Fix for NPC's weapons not appearing at the feet of the character who dropped them when disarmed in combat.
  
• Hidden items should now work as expected when using a controller.
  
• Journal/ Family status panel full controller support added.
  
• Updated the planter’s hover-over text to have “plant condition” & “soil condition”
  
• Fixed an issue with the planter where un-fertilised seeds would give less food/seeds/plants on stage 3 than stage 2
  
• Fixed a bug where you wouldn’t be able to search a location which only had hidden items in it
  
• Other minor bug fixes and improvements

We’d like to say a huge thank you to all our players who took part in the Stasis beta and shared their feedback with us. You rock!

To those survivors looking to escape Earth for the first time… Good luck, the wasteland just got a lot more dangerous.

• Fabricator panel controller support fixed, scrolling and general navigation.
  
• Hidden items should now work as expected when using a controller.

Survivors,

Earth is dying. There will be no recovering from the apocalypse that man has unleashed onto the world.

The land is swarming with mutated people and animals, the weather conditions become more extreme week by week and resources have become all but non-existent.

Earth is no longer a home, you must reach out to the stars and find a new one…


In Stasis, the next game mode for Sheltered, you’ll be tasked with building and launching a rocket to leave Earth.

The game will be complete if you successfully find all the rocket parts and launch the rocket, or, if your family dies/become unconscious. There are eight different endings for Stasis, depending on the success, or failure, of your mission.

You’ll have 75 days to complete your mission before your shelter can no longer protect your family.


IMPORTANT – If you decide to participate in the Stasis Beta, please back up your save data for the original game as save data may be affected.
