We’ll see you in action soon!

Hi, everybody!

Since the release of Atomic Heart: Trapped in Limbo is just days away, we thought that this time it would be interesting to tell the creation story of our hero - Sergey Nechaev aka P-3.

And it's worth starting with the fact that there was actually no Sergei Nechayev in the earliest story concepts! The whole story was supposed to revolve around Larisa Filatova and Viktor Petrov, who were then called Fred and Laura.



But that's a whole other story…

And as with any story being created, the choice was to go with what works best for it. So the team settled on a single character. It was immediately decided that it should be a special agent - since this Atomic Heart is supposed to be an action-oriented game, it means that the protagonist should have combat skills.

The first prototypes of the character design, as in the case of the Twins, have nothing to do with the final version.



Since the beginning of development, the image of the P-3 has changed several times.
With each artistic decision, our hero became stricter, more focused, and more intertwined with the atmosphere of Facility 3826



It is worth mentioning P-3's hairstyle, which looks quite modern, and although it has quite a long history in the real world, it is unlikely that any of the inhabitants of even the alternative USSR would wear it.



As in the case of Larisa Filatova's absolutely impossible hairstyle - is at the intersection of the past and the future.

As you can see from the early concept arts, it was implied that the main character would be using an exoskeleton. But this idea was abandoned in favor of more elegant and futuristic concepts for justifying P-3 abilities.



And speaking of his abilities, we can't help but talk about his main tool/companion - the polymer glove.



The glove should look interesting and intriguing, but it should not raise questions about how it can be used in everyday life.
Originally it was intended to be more "military", modeled on the equipment of elite units and some of these ideas have since been realized.
However, the main idea - to present the glove as a kind of living creature, a symbiote - led the artists' imagination towards insect body parts and engineering devices.



That's how we came up with the wires that would later become the manipulators of CHAR-Les.
We won't spell out the history of the creation of CHAR-Les at length (maybe later) but we will clarify that adding a companion to the main character who's always talking to him, allowed us to create a “buddy movie” character chemistry.

And since we play as the protagonist, he should be the "hands" and "man of action" then CHAR-Les due to his "features" acts as the brain and mind.

But Nechayev wasn't always been so gruff and scowling. In the past, he had been much more cheerfully open and even adventurous, while remaining a professional. But something (plot-wise) changed him, seemingly forever. He's on the road to being better though.

Funny thing, that despite the rather polar attitude of our community towards the main character (yes, we read your reviews), when we conducted a narrative survey in May 2023, Sergei took the top spot as the most popular character!


Maybe Sergei Nechayev is different for everyone after all.
And what's your P-3? Describe how you see him in the comments.


The other side of Nechayev - Newton was created as a concept character by our art director Artem Galeev long before the game's development began.



So, to avoid unnecessary spoilers ahead of the release of Atomic Heart: Trapped in Limbo, all we can say right now is that it's not some separate entity... it's just a dude in a fuzzy suit.



While you still have time, you might want to read our articles about creating different aspects of the Atomic Heart world:

Creating: VOV-A6
Creating: The Twins

New Year, new start!

This update focuses on a comprehensive quality-of-life update for Squad 44, encompassing animation, level design, and coding changes designed to further optimise the game. There’s also been work on bug fixing, improving the new player experience, and making the game environments more immersive.

Starting with the level design, we have been working hard to upgrade the graphics, focusing primarily on the foliage, lighting, and water on Chapter 1 maps. Work has also been undertaken to improve various historical landmarks in the game to align them more with their real-world counterparts (e.g. Koepelkerk and Veghel Town Hall). This has all been undertaken with optimization in mind, with draw calls significantly reduced, LODs refined, and textures appropriately packaged. Players also have extra options now to refine their graphics settings in-game. DLSS and texture streaming has been updated to improve performance further. This graphical overhaul of Chapter 1 maps is ongoing work as we look to update the game's overall appearance and performance in 2024.

Old:

Updated:


In addition to level design optimization, we have also been busy cleaning up code. In doing so, we have entirely reworked the spawn and logistics systems. This means that all infantry squads now have access to a truck capable of carrying supplies to allow Infantry Squad Leaders the ability to build FOBs independently, with the FOB limit increased to 6. While the Infantry Squad Leaders will be able to use supplies to place light weapons down, they will be entirely reliant upon the Logistics Squad to keep those weapons supplied with ammunition, in the form of construction points. Red zone restrictions preventing construction of emplacements behind the lines have also been introduced, to help reduce backline camping and present a more realistic front-line concept of warfare.







These changes have been made for technical and gameplay reasons. When playing with the new update, feel free to share your feedback as we will continue to refine these systems going forward.

We’ve started work on making the game more approachable for newer players (with plans for a bigger look at accessibility slated for later this year). There are a few things you may notice:
- On-screen compass to assist with player orientation
- Visual prompts notifying players when a point is won or lost
- Sound prompts when players health is low, to signify risk of bleeding out
- Several gun sights have increased peep-holes for easier use: Grease gun, Sten, Springfield, and the M1 carbine)
- Springfield M1905 now has a bayonet
- Refined camera shake on shooting



Long-term bugs like those encountered when shooting out of windows from slight angles have been fixed, as have the Cromwell armor and the offset markers on maps. There’s also a new spawn menu UI, improving FPS and allowing Squad Leaders to name their sections and delete previously placed markers.



We have many more changes coming down the line - a roadmap is coming very soon! In the meantime, let us know your thoughts, feedback or suggestions!

Hi Maplers,

We are aware of the Scania and Kronos Cash Shop issues and are investigating the cause. As of 10:08 AM PST, the Cash Shops are back up. We will continue to monitor the situation. Thank you for your patience and we apologize for any inconvenience this issue may have caused.

As the journey of Early Access continues, I want to build upon the core of what DK Jr. Math offered as well as add more variety and build upon a fun and unique story mode.

First, multiplication has been added to the exercise game mode.



One difference between how multiplication works in Monkey Math vs. what you'd see in DK Jr. Math is the ability to quickly switch to the next digit row as you figure out the problem, DK Jr. Math sort of locked you in on that row and walked you through it, making it a little difficult to go back and fix mistakes.


The 'next block' will handle row changing.

Second, story mode world 2 is shaping up.



In addition to world 2 I'm introducing a new level that will break some of the mundane math equations to solve and mix it up. Level 2-3 will be an endless runner type game where you have to collect numbers as you run from the vehicle until you reach 0. I plan to keep making these little 'mini-games' to mix things up throughout the game and probably incorporate them into the 'Misc.' category in Exercise Mode.



I'm aiming to release Build 0.2.0 Feb 12th.

Thanks for playing,
ScienceRobot
