Halloween:

Autumn leaves coat the ground, the smell of pumpkin spice lingers in the air, and literal green zombies are stampeding around breaking car physics, stacking on each others heads and eating solid objects... it must be Halloween!

Until November 1st the event is active:

Decorations have been added to some towns on all of the official maps, and the Liberator dress-up party has returned.
Halloween Gift Presents containing costumes and skins are dropping.
Several community-created items have been accepted to the Stockpile. In particular the Warlock and Obsidian Knight bundles are quite appropriately themed!

Enjoy your Halloween, and happy trick-or-treating!

Unity 2018.4 LTS:

Unturned has upgraded from 2017.4 to 2018.4. This change should be mostly behind-the-scenes, but I'll be keeping two eyes out for the bug reports. Some of the direct benefits include:

Nested prefabs for modders, significantly speeding up asset development
Headless dedicated server optimizations and performance improvements.
Significantly improved .NET / mono stability, and stability in general.
Terrain rendering CPU optimizations via instancing.

For more details on the update: Read More Here In the future this will allow us to update the outdated post-process effects, and take advantage of the scriptable render pipeline for superior performance.

Miscellaneous Changes:

Added -ValidateAssets command-line option, and moved some of the slower asset checks behind this flag.
Asset checks for missing meshes are now more thorough for more asset types.
Multiple workshop maps can be specifically highlighted at a time now.
Reworked logging systems, in particular benefiting servers. All information is in the Client.log or Server_XYZ.log files now.
Fixed item drop exception for misconfigured animals.
Lighting material values are cached before changing.
Disabled unused Unity player loop subsystems.
Object visibility updates are only checked while changing zones.
Text outlines are only used on colorful backgrounds, and other text now has shadows instead.
Fixed featured item labels to only show during new time window.
Updated all vanilla terrain shaders to take advantage of instancing, and corrected some specular lighting issues.
Fixed small values in some attachments being ignored.
Sort-of workaround for GUI color problem on MacOS.
Improved material and shader fixup process for older asset bundles.
Stripped a variety of code that should not be in the game itself.
Mute game volume on loading screen. There were some annoying noises depending where the loading camera was.
Updated from SplatPrototypes to TerrainLayers API.
Replaced usage of WWW with UnityWebRequest.
Prevent duplicate asset bundle loading in the pending master bundle list.

Unturned is a sandbox game in the emerging multiplayer apocalypse survival genre. Rather than focusing on being an MMO it provides players with easy systems to sit down and survive the zombie infestation with their friends. Over the course of a typical adventure, groups will have a blast fortifying locations, scavenging for supplies, trying to live off the land and negotiating with other people. The game is being developed entirely with the community in focus, and tons of features are based entirely on feedback:

Fortification:
Players can build massive forts out of structural building blocks, or build onto smaller buildings in the world with barricades. It is also possible to create traps and intricate electronic systems. More options for building are constantly being added based on what the community requests.

Survival:
It is entirely possible to live off the wilderness by harvesting resources, fishing, growing crops and hunting animals down. What sort of survival stuff is added is entirely decided by the community.

Explore:
The game goes where the community wants it to. The initial release map is set on the lovely Prince Edward Island, but over the next few months many more locations will arrive for players to explore depending on what the community wants to see. Currently the island has plenty of interesting locations to discover and loot.

Bandits:
Players can choose to enter player versus player servers and battle other players to steal their gear. Banditry is highly supported with plenty of weapons and sneaky devices.

Heroes:
Players can join player versus environment servers to team up with other people, and easily create clans to play with their pals.

Roomscale VR Support:

Unturned's level editor now supports the Vive! You can build the visuals of your maps using motion controllers with modes that provide the same functionality as the desktop editor, along with some special abilities like throwing objects. For non-visuals elements of the level such as data entry, spawn management or navigation baking the desktop editor is still required.
