Rust - A mobile application has been released for the game

 The team at Facepunch Studios continues to actively develop their popular survival project Rust , releasing monthly updates to it with various improvements and changes. For example, the June patch expanded the list of elements available for construction, but the main innovation at the beginning of this summer was the Rust + mobile app.

Thanks to this assistant, users are presented with an extensive list of additional features that can make the gameplay more fun and effective. It is enough just to sync with the selected server and then all the necessary information will be at your fingertips. View events on the map in real time, receive alerts about attacks, remotely control devices at your base, communicate with allies - and this is not a complete list of the functions offered by the companion.

Rust - Modular cars have been added to the game

 Developers from Facepunch Studios have released another update as part of the monthly development of their Rust survival project . So, the key feature of the July patch was vehicles, and, more specifically, modular cars .

Now, having obtained one of three chassis options, users can independently build a dream car using a special lift, based on their personal needs and preferences. Moreover, the creators even provided for a central locking system, it is installed separately and is able to protect each of these crowns of engineering thought from theft.

In addition, a new store called Air Wolf has appeared in the city of bandits, where small or transport helicopters are sold in exchange for scrap. In the same building there is also a dealer offering spare parts for second-tier engines.

Rust - "Sunburn" Theme Pack Released

 In early July, a major modular vehicle update was released for the survival project Rust , allowing players to build their dream cars from various parts, but now it's time to take a break and enjoy the summer with the Sunburn expansion .

This expansion is a special themed set of fifteen items and alternative skins that will allow users to take a little impromptu vacation and forget about the daily hustle and bustle for a while. For example, it includes swimwear, two pools, stylish sunglasses and a set of furniture that includes an armchair, table and umbrella.

In addition, the DLC contains an inflatable ring and a swim board as vehicles, a beach towel that can act as a respawn point, a water gun, and even a camera to capture the best moments.

[X019] Rust - Announced the launch of the game on consoles

 Facepunch Studios announced during Microsoft's Inside Xbox event that the PC multiplayer survival game Rust is coming to consoles. There is practically no information about this port. Specific dates and prices were not announced, even the presented trailer was recorded on a PC. According to the press release, console players will be able to play simultaneously with hundreds of other players.

Rust originally launched in December 2013 in Steam Early Access and was released 4 years after that. The game continues to receive updates now. The game should come to the console sometime in 2020.

Rust - Introducing the Musical Instruments DLC

 The DLC will be installed on game servers on December 5, and its cost is $ 10. A developer blog on Twitter states that specifically for these instruments, the Facepunch Studios team has developed a unique system of playing notes to individual keys on the keyboard. In other words, you will be able to create your own tunes and not just listen to the options downloaded by the developers.

Those who don't want to pay $ 10 for an add-on will still be able to play the instruments. To do this, just kill the owner and remove him from the corpse, or ask a friend to craft something from the list.

Bloody and A4Tech mice weaned from Rust

 Many gamers prefer Bloody and A4Tech gaming mice, and their manufacturer lures consumers with a wide range of software functionality, which sometimes comes close to the border with cheats. The studio Facepunch Studios is also concerned about the situation, having decided to protect its extremely popular survival simulator Rust , which is preparing for release on consoles, from dubious users.

The developers suggest that they close the game, disconnect the Bloody or A4Tech mouse, connect any other and continue to fight for survival in Rust. And the whole point is to compensate for the recoil due to the built-in memory. Affected players are clearly not happy with this decision, some are demanding a reconsideration or a refund, while others just set about bombarding Rust with bad reviews on Steam.

The move is radical, but it makes sense, and the majority will most likely support the decision of the project team.

Rust - Own boat and trendy haircut - what more could you ask for

 Sandbox-survival Rust recently received a major update that brings Chinook, a new helicopter, forests, caves, PvE monuments and more to the game. However, perhaps the most interesting innovation was the motor boat. You can fit in with your friends and explore the area. Note that without fuel, your vessel will be useless, but from the shore, or from another boat, you can easily be shot. On the other hand, there is no more dangerous threat than an ally, and therefore do not sit in the same vehicle with unfamiliar or too familiar people. Enemies will not sink, so friends dig the bottom with a stick.

In addition, birches, oaks and beech trees grew in the forests, and the rest of the vegetation, including on the head, received small changes. Yes, yes, now you can get a fashionable hairstyle, of course, if random loves you, otherwise you will have to go bald, then unshaven in other interesting places. The developers also worked on the graphic component of the game, adding reflections in the water, anti-aliasing and more realistic shadows in the foliage of the trees.

Not without bug fixes, map detailing and other improvements. Along with all these changes, Rust has become, in a sense, unrecognizable. We hope that the developers will continue to delight their fans in the future.

Safe Zones added to Rust

 Recently, the developers of sandbox-survival Rust have released a new update , the main feature of which is “safe” zones. In them, users can get together without fear for their lives, use various useful equipment, such as resource exchangers, vending machines where you can buy simple clothes, and much more.

However, it is worth considering the fact that in such places there are strict rules, you are forbidden to use weapons, kill other players, and also sleep in the zone itself and its immediate vicinity. Users who break the law will become hostile for five minutes, and all NPCs will start attacking them using heavy weapons.

In the future, the developers plan to continue to develop the concept of peaceful zones so that they fully meet the requirements of the game.

Rust Authors Announce Clatter Strategy

 Facepunch, behind Rust and Garry's Mod, announced a new game - Clatter. And this is neither a survival nor a sandbox. Suddenly. Clatter is a cartoonish tactical arena fighting game featuring funny robots and cubes with mustaches. Unexpected turn.

The game has two modes: "deathmatch" and "control". And the games take place on constantly changing maps. There is also a career mode in which you need to collect your team, train it and participate in tournaments and seasons. Like in football simulators.

There are multiplayer and solo matches. Players control squads of combat robots, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Clatter is due out on Steam in December.

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.

The RUST community continues to grow

 Facepunch founder Harry Newman published a letter in which he summed up the results of 2015 and shared the plans of the RUST multiplayer survival simulator team for the near future. And it became known that:

- Now the average online is 15,000 players (peak - 29,000). So the game's community continues to grow.

- A total of 2,976,670 copies of the game were sold in 2014 and 2015.

- In 2015, 198,501 copies of the game were purchased in Russia, and 186,791 in the USA.

- 48% of players have played 20+ hours, 50+ hours - 29%, 15% - 100+ hours.

- In 2016, RUST will leave the Early Access stage. But updates will continue to be released (they will be related to new content, not gameplay). The system of construction, destruction and other basic bases will not change after that. But there will be new AI, vehicles and weapons. Naturally, developers will not forget about adding balance edits, optimization and bug fixes.

Read more    - Work has already begun on the Roadmap. You can see it on a special page . Of the most interesting changes, it is worth noting:

First quarter of 2016

Experience system. Players will have experience, which is a kind of currency. Experience is awarded for collecting resources and crafting for the first time.

Character level system. The level is based on the total accumulated experience. And if you increase the level, then you open up new blueprints.

System of drawings. It is somewhat reminiscent of the tree-like system of skills in other games (if you want to open a new blueprint, you will first have to learn the previous one).

Skill system. Skills will be divided into 3 categories: survival, crafting, and fitness.

Second quarter of 2016

By chopping trees, you can get branches, berries and bird eggs.

Wolves will become much more difficult to fight. And the bears will have vulnerabilities (that is, it is useless to hit other parts of the body).

With the help of self-grown food, you can gain experience (you just have to eat it).

Also, this week is likely to be a wipe of servers.

RUST - Admins can now play as female characters

 The multiplayer survival simulator RUST continues to receive various updates. And a female character model has already appeared in the game.

So far, only server administrators can run after female characters. And according to Facepunch founder Harry Newman, the team needs a little more time to finalize custom features and more.

So regular players will have to wait a certain amount of time. By the way, it is worth considering that, as with other character traits in RUST, the gender will be assigned randomly (and you cannot change it due to the linking to the Steam ID).

Before - New game from the creators of Garry's Mod and RUST

 Facepunch Studios, which previously noted work on Garry's Mod and RUST, announced their new game Before at The Game Awards 2014. From the first seconds of the video, the project can even be confused with the work of WilD from Michel Ansel , but this is only at first glance.

Like the studio's last game, this is survival in a harsh world. True, this time it will be necessary to govern not one person, but an entire primitive tribe at once. Everything must be done to ensure that people survive in these difficult conditions, as well as develop spiritually and culturally.

It is not yet known if the game will have a multiplayer mode.

RUST - Plans for future updates

 The FacePunch development team has shared plans to further develop the multiplayer survival simulator RUST with different categories and priorities.

The main task in the list of developers is the system of drawings, with the help of which it will be possible to create various objects. As planned, drawings can be shared with friends. Also, the developers want to open up the ability to destroy, create and repair absolutely everything that is in the game world. It is also planned to introduce the game in various weather conditions, including storms that can destroy entire buildings.

At the stage of approval and concept is agriculture, drawing maps, as well as a variety of transport: water, land and air. The plans even include weapons for storming buildings and fortifications.
