All aboard! The Cargo Ship event is live. The CCSC Lazarus patrols the waters, packed with Scientists and loot. We've also added the L96 rifle, a new scope, tactical gloves, and more. This patch wipes the servers. Enjoy!

Cargo Ship Event
The CCSC Lazarus has arrived. This periodic server event will trigger every two to four in-game days. The ship will approach the island and patrol it at about 200 meters offshore. It contains valuable loot, but is also guarded by Scientists.


To board, you must approach it with a boat and mount one of the ladders on its sides with the 'use' key (attempting to jump to the ladder from one moving boat to another is almost impossible). When on board, and after clearing the defending Scientists, you can begin hacking the two codelocked crates. Defend the ship until access is granted...

We took this month to focus heavily on performance, with lots of optimization. Let us know how we did. We also have a look at some upcoming additions: a new boat event, slot machines, and more. This patch wipes the servers. Enjoy!

Bandit Camp Performance
There were quite a few optimizations made to Bandit Camp this month. From excess draw call reduction via art and code, as well as new ways of drawing trees and you can see in Diogo's and Andre's Tree rendering related sections.

There has been some optimization on the art-side of the town as well. Damian has adjusted the LOD distances on dozens of small objects to make them LOD and cull quicker. Swamp cabins were given an additional LOD level and their LODs were merged to help with occlusion. Small foliage, such as reeds and water lilies, were also made to cull quicker.

The trees present in the Bandit Camp and buildable swamps have seen a significant performance...

Bandits have made camp in our new swamps. You can trade, bet in their casino, or even take them on with the new Compound Bow. This patch wipes the servers.

Bandit Town
Bandit Town is finally here. When exploring the island you will come across a foggy swamp, filled with wooden shacks and populated by bandits. The area contains several huts with merchant NPCs selling their wares, heavily armed bandit NPCs, and a dredge that contains a casino. Inside of it you will find a Big Wheel mini-game that lets you gamble away your hard earned Scrap.

Visually, the area has gone through many stages, and we've been able to achieve a high level of polish. As you explore it you will find that it is filled with small props and details, which should add another level of immersion to it.

Below are some screenshots of the finished monument.

A new Team UI is here, alongside the jackhammer, a deployable watchtower, and more. This patch wipes the servers.

Team System
We've added a rudimentary team system. This means you can create teams and invite other players to them. This will yield the ability for all team members to differentiate each other at long distances, as well as see each other on the map. You can also see if someone is online or dead. It's pretty straightforward:

To create a team, press tab and click the "Create Team" button. To invite another player, walk up to them and press E.


To kick a player out, you must be team leader (checkmark): hover over them in the tab menu and press "Kick". To promote another player to leader (if you're logging off,) hold "E" on a team member for 3 seconds. To leave a team, press the "Leave Team" button in the tab menu...

The Puzzle Update
The update is nearly here. It'll be at around 3.30pm EST. Apologies for the delay. The new monument puzzles lie in wait for you, a look at the new swampy bandit town, custom maps are coming, and more. This patch wipes the servers and blueprints.

Patch Delay
We had to make an executive decision to hold the patch back for a day. Our apologies. Here's why:

During the first half of the month I got married and went on my honeymoon. The other programmers ended up getting occupied with some technical issues with upgrading Unity, attempting to take advantage of some new features to improve performance. When I got back, the Entity I/O stuff was two weeks behind where I thought it would be, so I hunkered down and got it done as best as I could. This meant that the artists were additionally delayed in deploying it to the monuments, which put us in the position of testing the game at the last minute...

Rust - игра про выживание в открытом мире среди игроков, коих сейчас немало, но она пошла немного в другом направлении. Создателями являются люди, подарившие нам Garry`s Mod.

Мы снова оказываемся в мире, который охватил апокалипсис. Мы не одни в этом мире. Кроме нас здесь существуют люди, зомби и животные. Если с первыми двумя все понятно, то с животными все поинтересней. Разработчики в своей игре хотят больше уделить внимание природе. Здесь вы встретите и кроликов, и медведей, и волков. Если кролик нам не опасен, то с медведями и волками не все так просто. Хищники тоже пытаются выжить, поэтому не думайте, что они так просто сдадутся. Нет, при любом приближении они начнут кусаться и пытаться убить вас, чтобы вы стали обедом. Еще и радиация не дает спокойно жить.

Здесь есть и крафт, но если в 7 Days to Die найти нужные материалы несложно, то тут вам придется потрудиться. Отыскать хоть...
