Changelog Version 1.0.7755.20733

Endzone flourished due to your dedication. Some reached season 10.000 and beyond by building massive settlements. You, the community sticked to the game, patiently followed it's development and kept on playing. You brought the world of Endzone to life by reaching over 3.5 million hours of playtime and together we have planted more than 40.000 trees.

By releasing this update we are leaving Early Access. And yet, at your request, survival has become more exciting than ever. Raiders are roaming the lands looking for rich and easy prey. Are you willing to pay and keep the peace – or are you going to fight them off with guns and bullets?

• Raiders: Added raiders to the game. They consist of 5 different tribes, and start spawning in the mid game, around season 30. Every raider tribe has its own leader and motivation. You can fight off raider encounters by building defensive countermeasures. Alternatively, you can also pay tribute, which will increase every time. If you choose to fight, a raging mob spawns on the map, demolishing buildings and stealing resources from your settlement. Every mob has its health and morale. Reducing health can be achieved by firing with lethal ammunition. Less health means that the raider mob has less power. Lowering morale can be achieved by firing rubber bullets or using Siren Towers. This doesn’t weaken the effectiveness of the mob until it has lost its morale, at which point raiders will start to flee.
  
• Buildings: Added the Watchtower as a defensive measure against raiders. Assign Militia to the tower to stock it up with ammunition and to fight back in case of a raider attack.
  
• Buildings: Added the Siren Tower as a defensive measure against raiders. Provide the siren tower with electricity to fight back autonomously against raiders.
  
• Buildings: Added Barricades with 5 different variations as a defensive measure against raiders. Barricades slow down raider movement.
  
• Buildings: Added the Ammunition Factory as part of the defensive measures against raiders. It can produce two different types of ammunition. Rubber bullets and lethal ammunition. Rubber bullets reduce raiders’ morale. Lethal ammunition reduces their health.
  
• Buildings: Added ability to build diagonal roads using a shortcut.
  
• Buildings: Added a smoke effect for damaged buildings.
  
• Research: Added 3 new technologies to the tech tree: Defensive measures, the Siren Tower and barricades.
  
• Resources: Added Sulfur as a new resource that can be produced in the mine. Sulfur is used for creating bullets.
  
• Options: Added FPS limiter as a graphic option. If you are experiencing heat issues you might want to enable vsync or set a FPS limitation to 30, 48 or 60 fps. Default is 60.
  
• Options: Added ability to completely activate/deactivate the radiation effect.
  
• Statistics: Added a game progress screen where you can track and see several key achievements of your ongoing session.
  
• UI: Added a building condition analytic view to see the state of all the buildings in your settlement.
  
• UI: Added planning mode. This mode allows you to place buildings as paused construction sites, to plan ahead with no resources being allocated. The mode can be activated via shortcut or by clicking on the planning mode icon when placing a building.
  
• Settlers: Added the possibility for diseases to break out, when many dead bodies are lying around; also added a new "plague" notification.
  
• Sound: added voice overs in English and German for all scenarios, traders, raider encounters, tutorials and expedition introductions.
  
• Sound: Added 2 new soundtrack files for raider encounters and one new gameplay track.

There are now 5 different tribes of raiders in the game, which will visit your settlement at different intervals depending on your session settings and demand a tribute. If you don't want to give in to this, or have too few resources available, only combat will help. How high the demands are depends on your progress and the tribe that is in conflict with you. The more prosperous your settlement is and the more settlers there are, the more devastating the raids will be. Each tribe has its own motivations and goals for raiding, so you better not let them get too close to your settlement!


Raiders attacking a settlement

Raiders announce themselves just before an attack and spawn on a random spot on the edge of the map. From there they make their way to your settlement. During the raid, the mob decides for itself where in the settlement it can hit you the hardest. Are your water reserves well stocked? Then you better fear for your food! Also, raiders destroy the buildings they come close to. The deeper the mob can get into your settlement, the more severe the destruction will be.
Raiders can be fought off in three different ways. You can either pay the required tribute and avoid the attack, or you can defend yourself by trying to bring either the health bar or the morale of the mob to 0. For both purposes, new buildings have been added to the research tree, which you can construct for defensive purposes.


Additional research for Defensive Measurements

Defensive Measures, Watchtowers, Siren Towers and Barricades must first be researched. So go on expeditions in time to find the necessary technology before an attack happens and you are completely defenseless.


Watchtower

Sirene Tower

Barricades

Defensive Measures can be researched to unlock the mining of Sulfur in the mine. With Sulfur you'll produce both Metal bullets and Rubber bullets. Ammunition can only be made in the Ammunition Factory. The following recipes are available there:

• Metal bullet: 1 coal, 1 sulfur, 1 metal = 5 units
  
• Rubber bullet: 1 coal, 1 sulfur, 1 plastic = 5 units

Ammunition Factory

Both types of ammunition can be used by Militias in Watchtowers to shoot at the raiders. Metal bullets decrease the life meter of the mob, rubber bullets decrease its morale. The type of ammunition you want to use to repel the raiders can be set individually in each tower.

Siren Towers are not occupied by settlers, but only require a connection to a power grid. As soon as the raiders enter the siren's radius of action, their morale is lowered. So always make sure that a siren tower has power even at night. Wind turbines that are exclusively available for the tower are particularly suitable for this purpose.

Barricades can also be erected to reduce the attackers' movement speed. If these are well placed, you can delay the advance into the center of the settlement and give your militia the opportunity to defeat the mob before it arrives. In the best case scenario, the raider won’t even proceed far enough to damage any buildings.

As soon as the health bar or morale of the raiders drops to 0, they will take flight and head back to the edge of the map. After leaving the map, you will get an overview of the last attack. It shows how many buildings were damaged and how many resources were stolen from the settlement.


Health bar, morale and looted resources in the Raider UI


Overview of the attack after the raid

• The release build includes a big release update with brand new gameplay features, targeted especially at the late game.
  
• We’ll further support the game with bug fixes and Quality of Life improvements. We know that you’ll want to give us feedback especially on the newly introduced features and we’ll still be all eyes and ears about that.
  
• However, in the following months, there won’t be big new feature updates as there were during Early Access.
  
• We’ll also start working on a classical “add-on” which is targeted to also come out in 2021. We already have some great ideas for that. But, as always, we’d love your ideas and feedback of what you would like to see.

Changelog Version 1.0.7747.25951

Through the "Save The World" Editions sold in January and February 2021, we were able to plant 1.395 trees again!

This time in Malawi to restore indigenous forest trees to the landscape in cooperation with communities while installing water wells and pumps, as well as fruit trees. Planting in combination with sustainable development goals tackles the roots of deforestation by taking pressure off mature trees and educating local women how to build fuel efficient clay brick stoves to save firewood and improve their lives.


You can find more information on the website of our partner: https://onetreeplanted.org/collections/africa/products/malawi

Thanks again to our awesome community and everyone who decided to buy the "Save The World" Edition, we could again do our part to make the world a little greener. Because for each edition sold, we plant a real tree. In total, we already planted 41.707 trees around the world, together with the non-profit organization "One Tree Planted".

Survivors!
It’s been a long and occasionally radioactive road, but the end of the Early Access period for our Endzone - A World Apart, is right around the corner.
After selling an impressive 150,000 units during Early Access, on March 18, 2021, the game will see a full launch on Windows PC and Mac via Steam and GOG.

To celebrate this amazing milestone, we have released a handy and informative ‘Recap Trailer’ that sums up all the incredible accomplishments and updates the game has received during Early Access and together with the amazing help of the Endzone-Community!


Throughout the Early Access period, we have been all-hands-on-deck providing fixes, patches, and content expansions to keep you players busy in the survival of your post-apocalyptic colonies.
During this time, we released a whopping 11 major updates, adding new mechanics, buildings, environmental hazards, equipment, branching skill trees, and more.
To help everyone keep up with all the progress, the new trailer gives you a glimpse into the game’s progress from April to now, detailing the 100+ new side missions, 24 new expeditions, 33 new buildings, countless patches and fixes, and of course, the 40,300+ trees planted as a result of the partnership with One Tree Planted.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmZ68FNa8Sk



In case you missed it, we have also teamed up with the charitable organization One Tree Planted to plant a tree for every Save the World Edition bundle purchase.
In addition, players that buy the Save the World bundle will also receive a free copy of the game’s stellar soundtrack!

Dear fellow survivors,

today we’ll release our last for now community preview, to shorten the wait for our release update in March and to give us the possibility to polish things already for the Full Release. This community preview includes many quality of life improvements, such as the often requested diagonal street building, a map preview and overhauled session creation. It also features voice recordings for all scenarios, tutorials, traders and expeditions. We are eager to hear what you think of the changes.



As a short disclaimer, other than our previous community preview releases, this version does not contain all the features planned for our upcoming release update. In other words: We are still working on a surprise for you, when the game comes out of early access on March 18th.



Thanks to the Community Preview Branch, anyone who likes to actively participate in the development can now test the upcoming patch early, give their feedback and help us polish the version in advance.

As usual, you can participate in the Community Preview with changing to the specific branch on Steam. How you can do that and everything else you need to know about the Community Preview, can be found by clicking on the banner below!



Thanks a lot for the fantastic support and your enthusiasm for Endzone - A World Apart! Together we have created an incredible game. Let's continue to work together on the game and join in!

Please be aware that the community preview is an ongoing development version and has potential to be unstable, since its features are still being tested. Additionally, some localizations had to be auto translated, because the correct translations did not arrive in time. So, only English and German localizations are fully supported. It is recommended to start a new game when switching to this version, if possible. Otherwise, it could break one of your settlements which were created on the "live" branch.

Have fun and stay safe!

Changelog Version 0.7.7704.25558

Dear fellow Survivors!

Some time has passed since Endzone - A World Apart started into Early Access in April last year. It has been an incredible journey and we are just awestruck by our great community and the rich feedback we got from you all. We already stated earlier that our Early Access period will be roughly a year and we stand by this claim, which is why Endzone releases as a full game on 18th of March this year. For this reason, we will interrupt our regular pace of one major update per month and dedicate our resources to optimization, improvement and, most importantly, working on brand new features for our release update, which is why there will be no further update in February. To not leave you hanging, a Community Preview will be made available in February, where you can also enjoy some of the bug fixes and improvements that will be part of our release version. We understand that for some of you our news might come as a surprise (we didn’t talk too much about our release date), as you might have thought that our early access period might be even longer.

We think that our game has matured tremendously over the whole development and especially since the start of its Early Access period. Development has been driven and influenced by what you had to say and wished for, which often matched our own vision but sometimes gave us a completely new perspective on what to prioritize on. It is hard for us to let go and we think that you might share this feeling with us, so we’d like to let you know what will happen to Endzone and what you can expect from us during 2021.

• With the release on 18th March 2021, Endzone will get a big release update, including brand new gameplay features, targeted especially at the late game.
  
• After that we’ll support the game with bug fixes and Quality of Life improvements. We know that you’ll want to give us feedback especially on the newly introduced features and we’ll still be all eyes and ears about that.
  
• However, in the following months, there won’t be big new feature updates as there were during Early Access.
  
• The team will focus on evaluating and eventually start porting the game to modern consoles, with time and resources spent on a good user interface. If all goes well, the PC version of the game might also receive gamepad support.
  
• At the same time, we’ll start working on a classical “add-on” which is targeted to also come out in 2021. We already have some ideas for that but as always we’d love your ideas and feedback of what you would like to see.

As always, we’d love to hear from you and what you have to think about this.

Stay Healthy,
Your teams from Gentlymad & Assemble

In Endzone, the introduction of decorations not only meant that a completely new factor had to be permanently considered and planned for, but also that you could now make your settlement more personal and homely.
With this update comes a whole 7 new decorations, of which 5 different variations of Street Lamps are possible. While the Street Lamps can be built right from the start, the new decorative buildings can only be found in your construction menu once you have made the corresponding progress in the settlement. In addition, these buildings can only be built once each, so you should think carefully about where to build the new Pavillon and Memorial!

Along with the new decorations, we have finally introduced upgrades for well-known production buildings. Instead of meeting the ever-increasing demands of your growing population with hundreds of tailor shops and workshops, you can now upgrade existing ones to increase production.
