Hi guys, as most of you mentioned, you want to keep seeing the development updates no matter how work in progress they are. \n\nSo here\'s another batch for ya! \n\nThis is not everything we\'ve been working on, just a few snippets. \n\nFor example, the area 1 boss and its environment is coming together really well but we don\'t want to spoil it.

1. Steamroller Sidecar

\nThe sidecar is now fully functional. \n\nYou can use everything while sitting in it like if you were on foot, rotate 360, and even switch from first-person to third-person. \n\nThe bracer is also accessible so you could even call in drones if you wanted to.\n\n

2. New Locations

Got some new locations in the pipeline that uncover more of the lore and Captain\'s role in all of it.\n\nBelow you can see the lore for each location, rough 3D sketch with references (you can click the links to actually see the model in 3D) and a whitebox level.

Hydromechanicum\n

Before the catastrophe, Ironwealth sought to transform Adranos Island into a tourist destination, abandoning its smoky coal plants in favor of clean hydro energy. Backed by Doc. Victor Ravensdale, a young engineer known as The Captain designed and built the revolutionary Hydromechanicum, a water power plant that became both a technological marvel and tourist attraction. Years later, strange river fluctuations signaled instability, but warnings were ignored. When the volcano erupted, the riverbed collapsed, burying the turbine and triggering catastrophic failureno one at the plant survived. The eruption reshaped the land, creating a massive geyser where the plant once stood, with new fissures hinting the river may one day break free. Though The Captains first major project ended in ruin, it cemented his reputation and led to further work with Ironwealth as Adranos became his home.

Sesmotorium\n

The Seismotorium was one of Adranos Islands oldest and most prestigious research facilities, built to study volcanic activity and later expanded into a full-fledged scientific university supported by Ironwealth. Equipped with advanced instruments and a massive retractable probe for deep-earth readings, it became the centerpiece of volcano monitoring. However, as Ironwealth demanded nonstop observation, the exhausted scientists faced increasingly unstable readings and damaged equipment. When pressure beneath the volcano reached a breaking point, the probe was violently ejected, destroying the facilitys dome just as the eruption and pyroclastic wave struck, annihilating everything. Afterward, the Seismotorium became a molten crater spewing smoke, its probe half-buried in ruins. Much of its research data was secretly looted by the COGs, leaving only remnants behind. When The Captain later returned seeking answers, he found only an empty, gutted shell of the once-great scientific complex he had once helped maintain.

3. Finalizing Building Models

We are also taking the buildings and finalizing them one by one and making sure they are ready for final textures.

4. Prop Models

Since a lot of the locations are now set in stone, we also started work on the props that will fill them out such as lootable suitcases, barrels, crates and medium sized models like trains, cars, etc.

5. Textures and Decals

And final textures are being created together with decals (eg. damaged walls, scratches, rust) to replace the placeholder ones you\'ve seen on the models before.
