• Regular update of the full version is out now! - 31 January 2023

  Hello everyone, Our top priority is to deliver a great gaming experience to our players. In this effort, we are bringing a major update with improvements and fixes based on the performance of the game among players after lunch. Many thanks for your feedback, you are helping us to perfect this game. Addressed issues: Bugs: Knocked-out enemies rarely fell into the surrounding geometry in such an unfortunate way, that they got invisible. Searching issue in "Petrol Quest" from mission 02 Units carrying a mobile-mounted gun would lose it under some rare conditions. Automatic healing now works differently. Before a unit had to survive an attack to apply a medkit afterwards. Now a medkit in personal inventory effectively extends the unit's health. The unit can take damage, that would be lethal otherwise. Silent eradication of stunned enemies is now really silent. Unwanted open fire after Knock…

• Developers update - 13 May 2021

  Hello there once again! As we mentioned once, we stopped updating the image with what we’re planning on doing for each month. We found it too static and it didn’t engage our community as much as we would like so we made a decision. We came up with another way of how to inform our players about what’s going on in our game development kitchen. We’re sure many of you heard about Trello, which will be, from now on, a place for you, our players, to see what’s really going on. You will find new ideas that we have, small things we’re working on and others there. As always, we love your feedback, which is why you can easily write your ideas, complaints or show us some love through Discord. If you want to access our Trello Roadmap click here or you want to be part of our Discord community click here. We’re also about to show you a bit of what we’ve been working on these days. New items Working o…

• Developers Diary #02 - 30 April 2021

  Hello to you all! It’s been a month since we last updated you on what we’re working on. To sum it up, we devoted a lot of time to the behavior of the enemy while the alarm is going down. We’re successfully working on the 7th mission of the first chapter and there are many small changes that were implemented. There is a big testing and bug fixing period ahead of us for May. We also believe that there will be a new major update available on steam next month. To jump right in, this is what we’ve been working on! Catching the eye of your enemy by simple stone throw. If the player prefers sneaking, there is a slight chance that in some moments the enemy will need to be distracted in order to look the other way. That’s the most secure way for players to sneak unseen. But pay attention to this warning, we do not recommend throwing more stones one after another, this will cause the enemy to spo…

• Developers Diary #01 - 26 March 2021

  Greetings our fellow Rebels and followers! First of all, we would like to say big thank you to our fans for their long-lasting support and endurance while waiting for a new update. We’re working on a major game update which is taking much longer than we were expecting. When we say major, we mean that we’re on our way to advance GrayZone’s gaming experience. What’s more, we are starting to write Developer Diaries, which will be an follow up on Roadmap or any other updates to summarize, what we’ve done and what you will see in next updates. Present mission content was based primarily on action but the update we’re about to give you will not only offer the action but also “stealthing” experience. This will bring a new gaming experience along with collecting rewards in “XP” form. For this, we needed to imply bigger changes on missions such as adding bushes for hiding, adding objects, stones…

• Dev Update - New mission coming soon & 30% OFF - 23 December 2020

  Greetings our fellow Rebels and followers, We've been working hard on some new stuff and we're excited to share it with you. So let's dive right into it, shall we? Bad news - a lot of time wasted Most of you might not have been aware of it, but in the last 7 months we've put a lot of time, energy and effort negotiating with various investors / publishers about financing our first game. We've attended many events and discussions that costed us a big chunk of time we could have put elsewhere - into the development of course. Due to this matter, a lot of content we've wanted to release this year was either delayed or cut out completely. Unfortunately, we haven't signed contract with any of the related parties as their terms & conditions were unfair and unfavorable. Good news - development status However, we have good news for you as well. We dedicated whole December into the production - m…

• Vote for us on Steam Awards 2020 - Outstanding visual style - 25 November 2020

Many talented graphics artists had worked on this project to bring this high quality and we believe Gray Zone offers unique visuals.

Models for most 3D objects were made in 3ds Max but some were made in Blender. ZBrush allowed us to create high-poly models and sculpt them with greater details using specialized masks. Textures were made in Substance Painter and Photoshop. PBR textures Every 3d object in Gray Zone contains a texture which represents it's color and behavior in various light conditio…
