Greetings, Fountain Seekers!

The time has finally come and today we invite you to continue your adventures in the last story chapter of the game! The official release of Survival: Fountain of Youth also marks the final steps of development for our team. It has been a great honor and a lot of excitement to work on the game and to share development steps with you since the playtest stage in 2022.

And for those new to the game — welcome to experience the full journey in search of the Fountain of Youth!

Set sail, brave sailor! The sea is calling!





If you checked our latest Dev Diary on Bimini, you know where to head for your final challenge. You may sail there on your Stormbreaker and use the Natives’ path or repair the Ark ship in the bay of the Silver Island, build a cannon on its bow, and break your way to Bimini Island through the rocks.

In any case, bring your best gear and weapons because landing on Bimini Island is only the beginning of your final trial. We won’t spoil the details though.


One of the features you’ve been asking us for has finally arrived! Before starting a new game, you may tweak a number of settings to your liking no matter what initial game difficulty you choose. Whether you want to play on Survivor but with increased resources and less stamina drain or prefer more relaxed gameplay on Tourist but with increased animal difficulty — it’s your choice!


Suit up! If you have a linen set of equipment and some iron ingots in store, it's finally time to craft the most powerful armor in the game providing you with 64 (in total) armor points (besides protection from all kinds of weather and decreased damage from animals). And don't forget to pack this set for your final journey!


Your character has never been so powerful: complete new survival tasks, level up your favorite survival abilities to the maximum, and find new books for improving your skills!


On your way to the temple on Bimini Island, you’ll find new animal species, including cute Armadillos, not-so-cute Black Boars, and pretty scary Black Panthers. And what do new animals mean? Right, new resources and crafting blueprints, namely top-tier Armadillo Shell Mortar and Stone Skin Potion to increase your armor temporarily. And of course, new trophies and hides for your house!


KA-BOOM! We’ve added a new type of deadly weapon — bombs dealing damage to everyone within the explosion range (yes, including you). And while a standard Bomb has a delay before exploding to let you run to a safe distance, an Improved Bomb detonates right on the spot. Keep that in mind.


We’ve added quite a lot of content for the past year, so it was time to balance some issues, namely:

• Provided the opportunity to craft seeds. After you unlock this ability with a farming skill book, seeds can be crafted on the Improved Chemistry Workbench, using 2-3 fruit and fertilizer.
  
• Reduced the amount of meat in animals (except for the Island of Hope)
  
• Added food level decrease in flu statuses (Puma and Snake regions)
  
• Increased the number of bullet and shot charges produced from one Iron Ingot from 5 to 8
  
• Removed fish bones from Dorado (they can now only be obtained from fish in fish spots)
  
• Added fish bones to one of the medicine recipes instead of salt.
  
• Slightly increased the nutritional value of fish compared to meat.

We’ve also added a bunch of new languages (Brazilian-Portuguese, Korean, and Traditional Chinese) so that more players around the world can play the game in their native language.

• Tired of constantly pressing W? The autowalk feature is now at your service! Just press G when walking/sailing/swimming!
  
• The map filter is back! It is easier now to sort map markers by different types.
  
• Standard Water Distiller is so last century. If you already have access to copper, an Improved Water Distiller that produces twice the amount of clean water is your choice!
  
• New golden decorations. Your interiors have never been so shiny!
  
• After you complete all survival tasks, start collecting survival points for the days you’ve spent in the game! Reworked statistics tab in Journal now showing your overall game progress (+ other improvements).
  
• Prepare to experience a new type of weather in the Puma and Snake regions — storms! Hopefully, you all are already experienced sailors...
  
• You will now receive 1 additional survival point if you meet all conditions for unlocking each region!
  
• Watch where you’re heading — sails become transparent when you take the helm.
  
• And, of course, new Steam achievements!
  
• Better performance.

• Fixed rays and jellyfish near the Galeon in the Snake region
  
• Fixed grass issues and terrain textures on the Island of Hope

Hello there! I promised some hefty reworks so here we are.

Having the Multitool's screen display the VR player's health made sense when I started developing the game, as it was basically attached to you. After the addition of the Akimbo setting, I awkwardly added a little heart on the left wrist to somehow track your current HP. Later, I added a menu on the right hand with some options. Then, I added the little floating timer for timed mission mode...



It was about time I streamlined all of this. Now, your wrist device will handily show your health while also holding the menu and a timer for the mission. It also displays the blocking shield level for the Warrior skin (that until now was an invisible value), and pretty soon it will also display the heat level (useful to know how long until your overclock or overheating ends). It's also a good reminder to heal while two-handing a weapon, as players sometimes get lost in the moment with catastrophic results.

With the Multitool being free of the HP indicator, the left bar now displays the heat level. Until now, the heat level was a kinda hard to see dotted bar next to the battery level.

And here's the big rework. The Radar is no more, having become the Motion Sensor.

I noticed the Radar was not very fun for the Robot nor the Mandrillians. For the Robot, flicking the switch was awkward and annoying, and the battery drain was not worth it compared with the cloak and shock. A lot of times, the Radar was only used for a second right before exiting a checkpoint. For the Mandrillians this was also frustrating: with the flick of a switch, the Robot could immediately reveal your carefully planned hiding spot.

The Motion Sensor tries to fix all of these issues. It's always on, and does not drain battery. But as you might have guessed, it's based on motion: a Mandrillian standing still will have no motion signature. Sneaking will update your signature roughly every 5 seconds, and walking/running will be a constant display. This has proven to make matches way more engaging, tense and tactical.



It's been a while since I wanted to streamline my clumsy attempt at a tutorial, but all these changes finally forced me as it made half of it obsolete.

While my original idea of a "Virtual Training" for the VR side tutorials was sort of nice on paper, the execution was a bit boring. Enter the in-game tips!



Enabled by default (can disable or reenable them at any point by using the brand new wrist menu) they will teach any new player the basics to play an Escape from Mandrillia match. They're also easy to translate for when I finally get to that...

With the VR player onboarding out of the way, it makes sense that I'll focus next on bringing back the Mandrillian tutorials (that also got scrapped along the way as they got obsolete). This will be a perfect oportunity to give the Main Menu a good polish pass and FINALLY allow the VR player to pick up the Multitool that has been sitting there like a prop since the beginning.

However, before that I'm giving the Mandrillian's Scanner upgrade a massive set of buffs. Stay tuned because that will arrive later this month!

• Added wrist device displaying HP, shield level, match time and containing the menu
  
• Multitool's Radar is now a Motion Sensor: no battery drain, blips based on enemy speed
  
• Removed the "Basic Tutorial", replaced it with in-game tips
  
• Added option to toggle Insectoid shadows (off by default)
  
• Increased the damage Insectoids do to Mandrillians
  
• Insectoids are now attracted to the noise of yellow keycard checkpoint gates (I'm sorry)
  
• Insectoids now fit through the small opening at yellow keycard checkpoint gates (I'm really sorry)
  
• Small improvements in performance
  
• Slightly increased Robot's sprint speed, noticeably increased Robot's walk speed
  
• Fixed bug that allowed the Robot to move at walking speed while crouching
