- On the way to version 1.0 - 12 March 2025
Spring cheer! In our region, spring has already officially taken office, replacing the harsh and cold winter. The winter season was frankly stingy on updates and there were reasons for that. But! For the spring season we have really grandiose plans and the current version 0.9 is just the beginning! На пути к версии 1.0 It's been almost 1.5 years since The Danger Zone was released in STEAM Early Access. FOUR (sorry, I couldn't resist) major updates, one global and a dozen smaller patches have somehow brought us closer to a new, important mark in the project's history - release. This version is a direct demonstration of our intentions to close some of the content gestalt and get as close to the release mark as possible. Very soon, with the release of the global spring update, The Danger Zone will leave Steam Early Access early. Note at once, the list may be changed or different from the f…
- TDZ 0.81 14.1.25 - 14 January 2025
New Year's greetings! The holidays have dragged on, and the patch is released with a slight delay. By tradition, we dedicate the first patch of the year to fixes and improvements. Let's move on to the fixes and innovations of the current patch: Winter is not retreating. The Christmas tree and holiday decorations lingered at the shelter a little longer than planned. Like many of the trappings of the past holiday, they were disabled or hidden. But! We decided not to disable the unopened gifts already received and leave the winter season until the end of January. Inventory. - Quick Move Mode. Once you move an item to the desired container, the rest of the items can be “moved” instantly; press and click on the items you want to instantly move. - Added visualization of which container the item will be moved to. - Items discarded in a raid are no longer stacked in the same bag. - Added the ab…

- New Year's holidays! - 22 December 2024
New Year's Eve festivities at The Danger Zone! Christmas tree It's time to get ready for the holiday, the Christmas tree has appeared in the shelter in its pristine, natural form. You have a strategic task: to decorate the main symbol of the new year as quickly as possible. The necessary decorations can be found at locations, in crates and at the world market.

- Current game version: v: 0.77 5.12.24 - 5 December 2024
Player Transportation When the game started, most of the important items were illogically located in the shelter. We are fixing this flaw: starting with this version, the main items of equipment are located in the vehicle on which our protagonist arrived. Interaction with the items is exactly the same as with the items in the shelter's warehouse. Didn't have time or couldn't pick up all the items? No problem! Transportation also appeared on the global map in the form of mini-locations. Previously described, will make life a little more difficult for sets with a lot of starting equipment. Note: if you have already started the game, the items will not be transferred to the transportation, but will remain on the shelves of the bunker warehouse. Translated with DeepL.com (free version) New quests Now it's the turn of more serious challenges. The third part of the quest “no one is sorry” bri…
- Global update “Exodus”! Current game version: 0.754 26.11.24. - 26 November 2024
The Exodus global update is available! This update has been a bit delayed. Before we get to the list of innovations and changes, we will allow a small lyrical digression: It's been over a year since the game was released in Early Access. The game has changed a lot and is almost close to our original expectations. Thousands of hours of hard work have resulted in the biggest global update yet. We are grateful to the community for their support, and we would like to extend a special thanks to the most active members of our small community. We thought it would be appropriate to add the names and nicknames of the people involved in the development, testing and support of the game at different stages to the credits in the main menu of the game. In addition, our community leaders will receive all additional paid content (if any) for TDZ and our other future games for free. Let's go directly to…
- Devlog #1. On the way to version 0.75 - 28 October 2024
We're back! Outside the window it is getting colder every day, the days are getting shorter and the tree crowns are taking on more and more bright orange textures. In our area, summer has come to an end. The Danger Zone hasn't received any updates for almost half a year, and there is a good reason for that: we have been working on the game for a long time, and the biggest update in the history of the project is coming soon. The future update will bring a lot of new content, new mechanics and important gameplay changes. But before the update we will publish a number of developer diaries, where we will tell you about the future important innovations. In the first developer diary, we will tell you about the most significant innovations that have been asking for a long time. Module system, assembly and maintenance of weapons Before assembly, the character ran a cross distance.Do not pay att…
- New start! Current game version: 0.4 2.5.24 - 2 May 2024
Стартовые наборы (сетапы) Мы решили отойти от концепции "один старт - одна игра". В главном меню была добавлена кнопка "Новая игра". Теперь нет необходимости искать и удалять файлы сохранений в надежде начать новое приключение в мире The Danger Zone. Начиная новую игру, каждому игроку необходимо выбрать один из трёх стартовых наборов. Каждый набор даёт свои стартовые предметы и экипировку. В будущем каждый сетап будет применять специальные модификаторы усложняя или облегчая игровой процесс. Текстуры главного(переднего) фона Медленно но верно задний фон наполнялся текстурами. В какой-то момент визуальная составляющая главного(переднего) фона стала сильно контрастировать. Данное обновление призвано исправить эту ситуацию. Одежда и экипировка Данное обновление приносит такой важный игровой элемент как экипировка и переосмысляет одежду. Теперь носимое вами это не просто скин. Каждый элемент…
- Актуальная версия игры: v: 0.39 11.4.24 - 12 April 2024
Несмотря на то, что изначально мы планировали выпустить совсем другое обновление, убежище и идеи по его усовершенствованию перетянули на себя наше основное внимание. - Всплывающее окно показателей Улучшено всплывающее окно. Помимо краткого описания, игроку предоставляется полная информация о сооружениях и объектах, влияющих на данный параметр. Учтите, на подсчёт характеристик всех сооружений/построек понадобится немного времени. - Изменена механика топлива Вместо постоянного потребления необходимых предметов в обновлённой версии игрок вправе сам "заправлять" важные постройки в нужный момент. - Строительство, ремонт и улучшение Ремонт, улучшение и другие процессы строения теперь требуют времени. Также одновременно только в одном строении могут протекать ранее описанные процессы. Если вы строите или ремонтируете несколько сооружений, все кроме одного встанут на паузу. - Уровни убежища Улу…
- Current game version: v: 0.37 26.3.24 - 26 March 2024
- Updated character menu The interface of this menu is partly outdated and requires improvement. In addition to the visual update, now by pointing at the effect, you receive more accurate information about the changes being applied: a corresponding symbolizing marker appears next to the indicator. - Raid menu An element that has been asking for a long time. Instead of immediately leaving the shelter, starting with this version, the player is given a choice: go straight to the global map, go outside the shelter, or stay in the shelter. In addition to direct functionality, this menu will provide important information in the form of warnings (shown in the screenshot), the player has the right to ignore them. - New mini map: “Beyond the Shelter” - Gameplay fixes and improvements - Fixed a problem with bleeding of a certain limb that could not be bandaged. - Fixed a problem with some items t…
- Current game version: v: 0.36 14.3.24 - 14 March 2024
- Updated game manual. Most new players find it extremely difficult to get used to the game. This negatively affects the overall game statistics and the experience of new arrivals. TDZ is a collection of many game mechanics and rules with only one goal: to provide a unique and interesting gaming experience. Many elements of the game may not be clear to a new player and we strongly recommend that you read the manual . To ensure that studying the manual does not look like a tedious reading of instructions for using a garden tool, we changed the approach to writing and visualizing hints, developed a new menu and added short videos demonstrating how this or that game element works. As a prize, by studying the manual, you will receive valuable items that will help at the beginning of the game. Note! We have added only part of the accompanying videos. Such media content takes up a lot of spac…
- Актуальная версия игры: v: 0.35 5.3.24 - 5 March 2024
- New area on the global map. - New map: Roadside village. The agony of the civil war directly affected this roadside village. - Added Stairs. - Added barbed wire. - Improved camera mode during active animation. - Fixes related to playing special animations. - Fixed issue with bleeding. Previously, the damage continued indefinitely, even if health was zero. - Other gameplay fixes and improvements (minor and minor fixes and changes). - Updated store assortment. That's all. Check out the latest news on the Steam news page or visit Steam discussions. Chat with other players on the official Discord server.
- TDZ development plans and developer diary. - 29 February 2024
It's time to announce plans for the next 6 months. By the time this post is published, some of the innovations may already remain in the game. - Standardization of loot on maps/global map and adding an item store (world market). In-game items, as well as finding them, are an important element of the game. But due to the probability (randomness) of the spawn of this item, the location could be cleared many times and ultimately not receive the desired item. This had an extremely negative impact on the gaming experience. The addition of the "World Market" in one of the recent updates should solve the previously described problem. Now it is not necessary to carry out cyclical uninteresting searches for “that same tool”, but rather open the desired building in the shelter. But do not forget that the store’s assortment and prices for items will be updated with the release of each patch. - New…
- Current version of the game: v: 0.34 20.2.24 - 20 February 2024
- Boxes/containers with loot have been changed. The boxes are divided into types: in the box with the "weapons" type, there will be mainly only small arms Added new types of loot containers: Construction crates, jacket/clothes, weapon box, tool box. - Added a global market. Sell the excess and get what you want in two clicks! The store's assortment and prices for items will be updated with each patch - Fixed bugs with markers in the shelter. - Fixed a bug with the welcome dialog in the shelter. - Fixes and improvements to localized versions (downloading text and translations). - Other fixes and improvements to the gameplay (minor and minor edits and changes).
