Meet the release of the Rust project

 Sandbox-survival Rust has been in the early access zone for a long time . For several years, the British studio Facepunch, of which Harry Newman is the head, introduced all sorts of changes to the gameplay, corrected errors, rules of mechanics and optimized the project client.

But then it became known that the long-awaited release of Rust took place . The team did not forget to release the patch as well. New boots have been added - Frog Boots. Introduced new trees and tutorials. Improved the visual component of the game. And now 2 pieces of scrap metal fall out of loot barrels.

In Rust, you and other players need to survive on a huge island. You have the opportunity to craft items, erect buildings, rob your neighbors and mock other people in every way.

Therefore, if you want to evaluate this creation from Facepunch personally, then immediately be prepared for the fact that a crowd of naked characters with stones can attack you and take away all your property.

Rust goes out of early access

 The developers of survival-action Rust have announced that their project is finally leaving Steam Early Access. The full release will take place on February 8, 2018. This event will not be accompanied by loud announcements, events, holiday giveaways or anything else. But the team will not move to other projects, but will continue to develop Rust. The release version will receive stable updates once a month. A beta version of the game will also appear, in which all innovations and edits will be tested before going to the base.

The developers themselves say that a new stage for them is the transition from prototype development to alpha version. Early Access became a tool for them to experiment with the game, receiving feedback from the gaming community to determine the direction of further development. Initially, for example, there were zombies in the game, but it was decided to abandon them. Now the creators of Rust already know what they want to create, so they decided to announce the official release.

The cost of the game will almost double from $ 19.99 to $ 34.99. Prices for other regions will be announced at a later date.

Rust - How many players have requested a refund per game

 Since Steam gave you a refund for a game in which you played less than two hours, many players have been able to give up on rash and disappointing purchases. In the case of sandbox-survival Rust , the number of dissatisfied buyers turned out to be very impressive.

Game developer Garry Newman posted an interesting screenshot where you can see the total number of Rust returns, as well as the amount of compensation paid to players. As it turned out, about 330,000 players were unhappy with the project and returned over $ 4,300,000.

According to SteamSpyThere are over 5,500,000 users of Rust, but despite this, the developers had to pay a fairly large sum. The most common reason for refunds is “poor performance” and “boring”.

There are tens of thousands of refunds made on the Steam platform every day. This service is especially relevant now, during the summer sale. Indeed, in the last 24 hours alone, more than 220,000 players have been asked to return their money.

Your character's gender in RUST will be randomly determined

 A survival game called RUST , which is in Early Access status on Steam, has amazed players on more than one occasion. So, last year, RUST characters had masculinity, and its sizes varied depending on the Steam ID. Next, the developers decided to add a female character, but now it turned out that the gender of your character will be randomly determined, depending, again, on the Steam ID.

It happened after the last update and now it's not up to you to decide whether your character will be a man or a woman, everything will be decided by a great random, starting from the Steam ID. Many players, especially those using voice chat, are upset. However, in real life, we also do not choose who to be born, as well as the size ... of the merits.

“We would never go against you. However, in life, you also do not always have a choice. In addition, the male voice coming from the female character is no stranger than the voice of an eight-year-old boy from an adult character, ”the developers say.

“Rust is a multiplayer survival computer game developed by the independent British studio Facepunch, which previously created Garry's Mod. You have to collect resources, as well as kill animals and other players for the sake of the coveted loot (or just like that). The game features a fairly advanced crafting system. And you will have the opportunity to create houses, equipment, various furniture and much more. ”

Rust - The game has lost the character leveling system

 The new patch for sandbox-survival Rust brought noticeable changes to the mechanics and gameplay - the game lost the experience and leveling system.

The developers from the Facepunch studio explained their decision by the fact that this system removed from the game such elements as "constant new meetings and enjoyment of the game," focusing the players' attention more on the process and optimization of pumping. This made the game boring after the player reached the maximum level, which threatened to reduce the player base.

Instead of an experience system, players are now offered a new mechanic that allows players to create whatever they want from the very start of the game. This means that there will no longer be any items or blueprints locked behind the XP wall. However, rarer items will require various components for crafting, which must be independently searched for on the map and which cannot be obtained in any other way other than gathering.

Rust and the "curse of early access"

 Sandbox-survival Rust developer Harry Newman recently wrote a short blog post on his blog. Its name - “The Curse of Early Access” , speaks for itself. There are many positives to an Early Access project, Newman said. First of all, in this way, developers can enlist the support of players and receive feedback from the community.

However, Rust has been in this state for over three years. Of course, the developers have not forgotten about regular patches and innovations, but players still complain that the project does not go into full-fledged release. However, Newman doesn't think Rust is fully prepared for such a big move."For me, it all comes down to one question: If Early Access didn't exist, would we release this game?" - he writes in his article.

Perhaps, having revised the situation, the developers will nevertheless listen to the opinions of the players and the release will finally take place. However, for now, such a step will mean that the game is completed and worked out, and Newman believes that this is far from the case. The team is already working on adding various features to Rust so that newbies can figure it out without reading guides and tutorials. After that, it will already be possible to talk about the exit from early access and further development.

RUST - Throw swords, maces and cleavers

 The developers of the multiplayer survival simulator RUST have posted a new report on their blog . And we managed to find out that:

- Now the game has a lot of small musical pieces of different themes, which will be included at certain moments of the game.

- Optimized some of the movements of the ViewModel (first person view model). Lowering and raising the weapon while running, and general swaying of the weapon when turning.

- Removed sight for the lazy (a point in the central part of the screen that changes its position depending on movement).

- Added interface smoothing.

- Reduced visibility distance during foggy weather.

- Tom's semi-automatic rifle is almost ready to be introduced into the game.

- Longsword, mace and homemade cleaver can now be thrown. And the damage from a two-handed throwing weapon is greater than from a one-handed one.

- Small updates will be released weekly, and large ones will be postponed until pre-release.

- All voice chat notifications in the interface have been removed. That is, to understand who is speaking, you need to go to the sound.

- Now you can attack with melee weapons underwater. So get ready for spearfishing and construction.

- Work continues on textures for dungeons and their surroundings, as well as on a female character model.

- The anti-cheat system in RUST will start checking the damage not only against other players, but also inflicted on oneself.
