Dev Diary Details Massive Danger Update for Sheltered

December 9, 2015 by Carlos Chism

This is the largest set of changes so far made for the game.

Team17 have released a new developer diary in conjunction with the latest update for the indie title Sheltered. Dubbed “The Danger Update,” it brings in a bigger challenge and adds a solid sense of peril to the game. Major features that the video covers include break-ins, traps,

loyalty meters for new shelter members, distinct personalities for those members, and oxygen levels for the shelter. You can find a list of the full changes below, along with the video itself.

NEW FEATURES

  • Raiders attempt to break into your shelter to steal food and supplies

  • The shelter door can now be upgraded to be made stronger and more resilient to attacks

  • New craftable traps to keep them out are now available: Paint Can Trap, Spike Trap, Shotgun Trap

  • New Radiation and Oxygen Functionality:

  • Radiation is no longer present at all times

  • Radiation clouds now accompany dust storms

  • The oxygen filter is now used to provide oxygen for the shelter instead of clear radiation

  • The oxygen filter must be upgraded to provide more oxygen as the number of people in the shelter increases

  • Newly recruited members of the shelter begin in auto-mode. Player must gain their loyalty before they receive full control over them

  • Recruits can now be dismissed from the shelter

  • Recruits that become too stressed or unhealthy will leave the shelter

  • When recruits leave, there is now a chance they may steal something or sabotage an object

  • There is now a chance that a recruit is a psychopath and may sabotage the shelter or kill a family member if triggered

  • The player can now select a horse as the shelter pet

  • Certain areas of the map are now controlled by dangerous factions

  • Each faction have new and unique visuals and dialogue

 

GENERAL CHANGES

  • Doors now open automatically for characters

  • A saddle and stable are craftable if the player starts with the horse

  • Damaged objects may now catch fire

  • A fire extinguisher is now craftable to put out fires

  • Expedition parties may now encounter wolves and bears

  • A ‘Move All’ option when transferring items has been added

There is also a long list of bug fixes. The biggest include fixing the encounters UI, SFX sound sliders in options, and quest/scenario names appearing on a location when it is hovered over on the map. The developers note that all content is driven by community feedback, so if players have any suggestions or concerns, they cansubmit them through the Steam forums.

Sheltered is currently available both in the Xbox One Game Preview and Steam Early Access. Earlier this year, we named it one of the best survival games on the PC.
