Moving forward, the game will now be known as Rem Survival. The reason for this change has come from player feedback over the last 2 years, this change will also help improve the game's visibility and metrics. The title Remnants was selected in 2015 for the game and was made known through Steam Greenlight on November 28, 2016, but throughout the years other games have used similar names not bothering to respect other developers or their games no matter how big or small, some might think using a similar name is fine, but it causes issues like people joining and being directed to the wrong community for that game which has happened many times, so I took it on to change the game's name for the best outcome for the future of the game. What does REM stand for and how does it relate to the game? These changes will come into effect for the backend when the next patch is released which is due out in 2-7 days, but name and logo changes will be rolling out up until this date on all related platforms. Original Logo 2015
SERVERS Local Saves This won't delete or remove any player data, but once this name change happens on the backend, people will need to rename their saved folder in documents/mygames to match the name change. Dedicated Server Saves I will work with GPortal to port over all saved data in this process, but if you're hosting your own dedicated server you will have to move your saved folder from the old server folder to the new server folder. Updated Resource Links

Christmas Doormat Steam Skins Unlocks Candy Bow- Snowman Item Santas Hatchet - Snowman Item Gingerbread Box - Snowman Item This patch has mostly been focused on the steam workshop and inventory item support as both of these systems are new, they will be improved over time so going forward this allows the community to submit and vote for skins they would like to see added to the game. I also had time to get a Christmas event out for players this event will run until the 6th of January. My main plans for 2023 will be a completely new map which will replace the Rise Map as the primary map for the game along with a new NPC system, and character creation. The map will be my main focus and will take me a large amount of time to complete for what I have planned, this map will bring a new style of gameplay to Remnants. If there's any bugs reported after this patch a hotfix will be pushed a day after to correct these issues thank you for understanding, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Workshop Item skin creator

A guide on the workshop system can be found here I would like to add a special thanks to Shedmon the main 3d artist for the game which has created most of this content for this event along with some approved workshop items. known issues There are currently some known issues with vehicles not always syncing correctly when being dismounted when moving, this seems to be related to chaos physics in Unreal Engine 5, to avoid this issue I would recommend stopping before exiting your vehicle for the time being. Localization updates do take time so if there are any missing translations, please be aware these will be translated in future updates. If you wish to keep up to date with the games progress and current road map, please come join the official Remnants discord group. As always if you find any issues or bugs, please report them in-game or via the discord group, if theres major issues or you wish to discuss them in more detail feel free to on the discord group, I do try my best to test every update best that I can but at the end of the day Im only one person :-). Thank you everyone for your support and feedback.
