- No more - 3 December 2020
Hey everyone, I'm sorry to say this, but I'm going to have to stop working on the game. Something's happened to my backups and after rolling back, some of my core blueprints are refusing to open in the editor. Unreal Engine has way too many bugs for me to keep going forward with a project like this. The Engine is nice for small stuff, but this is way out of its scope. There are solutions to fix these problems, but I'm not sure I want to try anymore. Nobody seems to have any interest in the game and the market is going to be flooded with space sims, sci-fi sandboxes, etc...so starting over wouldn't really make sense. Thank you to everyone who stuck around and gave me some encouragement. This was a fun process and I learned a lot!
- 1.4.0 News - 22 August 2020
Hey everyone! I'm just here to let you know that I'm still working on the 1.4.0 update. I've been silent on the community hub since I've decided to post more on discord. If you're interested in testing with us, you can switch to the 'unstable' branch. Thank you again for all of your support and feedback! If you have any questions, suggestions, or concerns feel free to contact me at the support email or join us on discord! [email protected] https://discord.gg/B6tavWV
- 1.4.0 Preview! - 20 July 2020
Hey everyone! I just wanted to pop in and show some of the stuff I've been working on since it's been awhile since I've updated you. The screenshot above is a small Skirmish map I'm working on for the 1.4.0 update. Skirmish is going to be the first new game mode that will be added in the 1.4.0 series. It is a simple death-match inspired game mode where you will be pitted against different players or ai to reach the score limit before time runs out! Skirmish will be both a standalone game mode, and a quest that can be taken in the Sandbox and other open world areas. I'd also like to show off one of the new cities I'm working on for the sandbox! My goal is to make it feel more 'alive', so these cities will be places where you can find roaming npcs that will go to different buildings and talk with each other, take jobs, etc... and there will be places for you to go and gather side quests,…
- 1.3.6 is live! - 6 July 2020
NOTES THERE ARE SOME GAME MODES THAT ARE NOT SUPPORTED THAT WILL BE DISPLAYED IN THIS UPDATE. I WILL HAVE THIS FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! THIS BUILD IS THE HEAVIEST BUILD I'VE RELEASED SO FAR! LOWERING SHADOW QUALITY IS USUALLY THE FIX IF YOU HAVE PERFORMANCE ISSUES! OTHERWISE, TRY LOWERING OTHER VIDEO SETTINGS UNTIL YOU ARE AT YOUR DESIRED FRAMERATE! FATAL ERRORS ARE ALMOST ALWAYS RELATED TO PERFORMANCE ISSUES. IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING CRASHES TRY REDUCING YOUR GRAPHICS SETTINGS. IF THIS DOESN'T HELP, CONTACT ME WITH SOME REPRODUCTION STEPS AND I'LL GET IT RESOLVED ASAP! IF YOU ARE HOSTING A LISTEN SERVER (I.E. USING YOUR GAMING COMPUTER TO HOST A MATCH) AND IT KEEPS CRASHING, YOUR PC IS NOT POWERFUL ENOUGH TO HOST AND YOU WILL NEED TO WAIT UNTIL DEDICATED SERVERS ARE OUT. I'M NOT ABLE TO MAINTAIN THE WEBSITE AND SUPPORT CONTACT. IF YOU HAVE ANY ISSUES, PLEASE CONTACT ME AT fractuminnov…
- New Character Creation System! - 5 July 2020
Hey everyone! The 1.3.6 unstable test brought up a lot of good feedback! All of the reported issues have been addressed and will be rolled out in the live update. I'm still working on the update, but I wanted to show off the new character models/character creation system. The details are each species are still W.I.P.
- 1.3.6 is live on the Unstable branch! - 28 June 2020
Hey everyone! Thank you to everyone who has purchased the game so far! I am still working to resolve all of the issues reported by Genkipro, but I wanted to give you an opportunity to play with the current fixes that I have rolled out. Moving to the unstable branch might impact your save games, so I would backup your saved directory (contact the support email if you need help) to avoid any data loss. The game is in a development build so you might see a few debug messages and you will have access to the console. This could, in some rare cases, cause some performance issues. If the game is slow, try lowering your graphics settings while on the unstable branch. You should be able to raise them back up when you switch back to the stable branch. The most notable issue, aside from what Genkipro reported, is an issue with the tutorial character's first person camera. I plan to have that fixed…
- Small delays - 22 June 2020
Hey everyone! I just wanted to pop in and let everyone know that I'm still working on the next update. I have had a few bad reviews come in, so I wanted to address the issues mentioned in those reviews before rolling out the new multiplayer features. Unfortunately, I'm a human so I need to sleep, which is why the updates are taking so long! Someday, I'll find a way to defy my humanity, but for now, I might be a couple of days late with the 1.4-1.5 stuff. I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!

- Season 1.3 is live! - 5 June 2020
Hey everyone! I apologize for the delay. I needed to take a step back from the game and look at it as a consumer, rather than the game's developer. As most developers will say, it is a completely different experience when you've watched the game grow from the ground up. After taking some time to evaluate the state of the game, and after taking in the feedback I've gotten so far, I've decided that a large number of creative changes needed to take place. The most major change was the game's name. Day Zero Build, Craft, Survive obviously lacked inspiration and was honestly kind of spammy, so I've decided to name the game after the series it is meant to introduce. Therefore, while I am still focused on developing awesome features for you guys to enjoy, I am going to be shifting my main focus on improving the cinematic experience for the Prologue and Season 1 episodes of the Campaign. Then,…
