Hey everyone!

Patch 1.4.2 nears closer and with this I wanted to go over some of the content/features & more that will be added in this patch and going over a few things that will come in the future.


With this patch comes the beginning of a system that will soon bring lots of pieces of content to the game and lore!
With this update a 'Laptop Event' will be added. Laptops can be found off dead AI human or zombies bosses, or in rare loot containers. These events will lead to quests that will consist of anything from the simple kill X at this location, to disabling a generator that is guarded by AI Bandits. A lot is possible.



In the future, quests will consist of these 'Laptop Events' to main story quests, bounties & more!


A face lift of the Journal UI was needed and coming with this update is a completely stylized UI made by Thomas Buzata.

Also included are brand new skill icons to with this.


Big QOL changes are coming for zombies and melee.
The time between a zombie being able to attack the player or another survivor has been increased from 1s to a random time set between 1.25s & 2s. This will make melee with zombies less annoying however keep that fear that multiple zombies can kill you.
Also the zombie attack hitbox has been halved and the player's melee attack hitbox has been doubled. More changes include; bleeding lasts for a shorter amount of time and has been basically halved, new rocket launcher sounds, new POIs and more...


At this moment in time I'm unsure if this will make it into 1.4.2 but possibly 1.4.3. The dialogue system will tie heavily into the quest system and finding out more about the world of SurrounDead.
From simple conversations with survivors, to meeting bandits and either talking your way out of getting killed or telling them how you will kill them yourself. Apart from this, much more can be added and QTE like timed dialogue will also be added.
In the future I hope to tie this system to other parts to make it more sophisticated to AI know the type of person you are...

• Multiplayer: Still progressing, work has slowed on it recently to get the quest system implemented but after this and in a month or two, work will increase again on MP.
  
• Many new POIs: New POIs from hotels, to abandoned survivor holdouts, new towns & a large city!
  
• Motorbikes: Main reason motorbikes haven't been added yet is due to issues with the physics of them in-game. Recently, I've been able to improve this of vehicles with two wheels, but work continues.
  
  
• Swimming: The animation system is complete for swimming and the next course of action is to start changing the map to allow swimming in the rives, lakes, etc.
  
  
• Filters for gas masks: One thing to increase the difficulty of radiated areas is to add filters you need to find to use the filter in these zones, as without you'd die in there.

We received some concerning issues, and address following on this 0.4.0a hotfix update:

• Fixed an error where screen shake amount was not adjusted correctly in the settings menu.
  
• Fixed an error with Executioner Scythe artifact on the Survivor Mode.
  
• Fixed an issue where the boss's HP Bar would block interaction with inventory's close button.
  
• Fixed some issues with the Assassin boss's patterns, especially regarding her attacks appearing after her attacks.
  
• Added more minion spawns on Earth Serpent boss.

Oh jeez oh gosh oh goodness its trepangin' time.

Join us on October 10th at 4pm CEST during the Steam Next Fest event for the Demo Livestream! As implied by the title, this stream will also mark the launch of the demo, so you can play Mining Mechs yourself. The demo is fully playable in online co-op multiplayer with up to 7 friends, but features a limited map size and less content than the full game.

Unity Occlusion" is a feature in the Unity game engine that helps optimize rendering by determining which objects or parts of the environment are hidden from the player's view and therefore don't need to be rendered. This improves performance by reducing unnecessary calculations and rendering of objects that are not visible, ultimately leading to smoother gameplay experiences.

• Closing large doors fix
  
• Damaging vehicles in tunnel fix
  
• Added new 1/4 Road Floor
  
• Small Item Container on/off and dispense items moved to UI
  
• Possible to remove Small Item Container with contents
