Sheltered - Update 4: Public Beta!
[ 2017-01-09 16:25:45 CET ] [ Original post ]
Hey Survivors,
You’ve been enduring the apocalyptic wasteland for quite some time now. Some of you have flourished and created a future for your family. Many however, have perished and been claimed by the apocalypse.
Now, the next stage of Sheltered is nearly upon you! Whether you’re a diehard player looking for even greater challenges or someone who wants a less harsh experience this update is for you!
Now ask yourselves this...dare you take on the new Hardcore mode?
Due to the size and scope of this update we’ll be launching it as a BETA today to ensure everything added runs smoothly. We plan to run this BETA for 10 days, starting today. This is subject to change.
The Beta is open to everyone who owns Sheltered and you can access it by following these instructions:
- Right click on Sheltered in Steam > Properties.
- Head to Betas > input password “BetaForUpdate4” > select check code.
- Select the “beta” branch from the drop-down box in the Betas tab.
- Allow the title to update. You may need to verify the game cache by heading to Properties > Local Files > Verify integrity of game cache…
- Launch the game!
- Head to Local Files > Browse Local Files.
- Copy contents of folder “saves” to a secure location.
- Once you’ve finished playing the beta, you can replace the newer “saves” folder with the older one.
- 3 brand new difficulty settings: Easy, Hard and Hardcore. The difficulty settings allow users to change the frequency of rain, resources, breaches, factions. It also defines how aggressive or docile expedition encounters are, the size of the map and whether fog of war is enabled or not. Players also have the option to create their own custom difficulty settings. This brings the total amount of difficulty settings to four, two of which have their own leaderboards. (Easy & Custom does not have leaderboards)
- Updated the menu system to incorporate difficulty settings.
- Fixed bug where the dog (and party) may not return from expeditions (this may not fix pre-existing issues in old saves)
- Fixed bed covers layering issue
- Fixed an issue where objects could be crafted on top of one another, or in places they should not be allowed (by the front doors)
- Stopped paint eroding on walls
- Removed some rogue pixels from a shelter door sprite
- Updated breach tutorial popup text
- Fixed bookshelf bug where it wouldn’t decrease the amount of books when deconstructed
- Updated Horse Stable sprite
- Stopped the family stating “the pet is hungry” hints when they are away from the shelter (Dog/Horse)
- Stopped automated characters from repeatedly trying to use a bed which is at 0% integrity Stopped pets getting stuck in partially constructed rooms
- Fixed a bug where two deconstruction panels opening at the same time would cause the game to pause until ESC/B is pressed
- Fixed bug where breachers would not enter if there was a dead body blocking the door
- Updated encounter summary “victory” panel artwork
- Unity updated to fix input issues

Panting, scared, the shelter airlock smashes down behind you. You wish you did not have to go outside, but you do. It would be easier to give up. But you don’t. The hardship, the hunger, the thirst. The fear. You keep reminding yourself why you stay alive. Why you do this. Then you hear it. “Daddy you’re back.” You wife’s face lights up and you open a bag full of medical supplies. You need not tell her how you got them. You simply enjoy your small victory in this, the harshest of times. In the post-apocalyptic world, you must keep your family alive in your underground bunker in this deep strategy game from Unicube...
Sheltered is a post-apocalyptic disaster management game that gives a whole new meaning to the term “nuclear family”. Given a head-start over the billions lost in a nuclear holocaust, you must gather as many supplies as possible en route to the concrete underground shelter that will soon become your family home for the foreseeable dreary future.
With all hope lost, how will you cope in this bleak new world? How you handle the many moral choices you'll encounter on a daily basis could be the difference between your family surviving or dying. Combat claustrophobia, radiation and mental exhaustion as you cling desperately to life in the cramp, cold and scary underground shelter. You’ll have to leave the scant protection the shelter offers behind as you’re forced to venture outside into the dangerous desolate wasteland to scavenge for vital supplies which could ensure your families survival for just one more day.
