Steam Development Update #1: Map Changes
Jaws Of Extinction™ Patch Notes — April 14, 2023
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
Hey Survivors!
We’ve been consistently updating the game since the release of early access, and want to make sure our end product is as polished as possible. We have created patch notes in the past, but we want to present key milestones and impactful updates in a more digestible way. With this in mind, we decided to start releasing Steam Development Updates! Keep an eye out for future posts and always be on the lookout for what’s new! Here are some of the examples of what’s to come in the near future!
What is to expect?
We’ve come to you with some thrilling news regarding the improvement of current locations on the map, addition of season changes, as well as a new location to expect!
- Season Changes - Witness the 4 seasons changing the foliage around the map for picturesque views!
- Changes to the ocean itself - The new push and pull action of the waves
- Prime locations getting a makeover - Dom’s Hardware has never seen better days (since after the apocalypse)
- Texture on houses will be different - Whether it’s a house burning down or just a beautiful texture difference, houses are now entirely remade with huge improvements!
- A new lighthouse area to look out for - A spectacular lighthouse will be placed on the map to guide you in times of need!
- New actions of walking over certain terrain - Whether it is walking over grass or through water, you’ll now see the environment change as you traverse it.
Here are some astonishing videos of what’s to expect!
Come snow or ice, we’d like to give our players a warm welcome to a crystal clear terrain that feels smooth to walk over!
The updated lighthouse will give our players that light of hope in the dark times on the Island of Eden-Nadir
Take a look at this big mess of a mass burial site, keep a lookout for it, you’ll never know what you might find here…
How will this impact the Players?
This will give all our Survivors the opportunity to experience the impact of the weather changes to the map, making it a little bit trickier than your usual sunny day. Make sure to have a pleasant stroll in the lush forest, or a delightful swim in the ocean before winter comes!
How will this impact the Game?
Weather changes will cause certain parts of the map to be more difficult to navigate, you must tread with extra caution as it will obstruct your vision, making it difficult to spot out zombies from afar. New locations will be created all across the map with different loot spawns giving you that extra boost you need to defend yourself on the Island of Eden-Nadir.
