NOTE: before asking questions, PLEASE read the whole thing, because I probably answered about your question! If not, feel free to comment.
Hello everyone!
I'm glad to finally be talking about Isolation - Remake once again! It's been almost a year since Isolation original has been released, and now it's time to get ready for the remake!
I'll be answering a list of questions I wrote down, and reassuring things as well as talking about stuff that I decided to changed from the last time I made a post.
[[RELEASE INFO]]
Firstly, the game's development started in August, however it was on hiatus until about mid-November, but I will say it is very far into development. I have 2 weeks off for winter break just like I did last year, and that's when I will continue and finish the development. I get off for break December 18th, then I will start mass-development. My goal? Christmas Eve, just like last year. Will it happen? Maybe, maybe not. If not, I'll try for a Christmas release, and if not that, then New Years release.
So, what will be the release plan? Just like last year, I plan for Christmas Eve to be the 'alpha' release, and alpha releases are PAID ACCESS (again, just like last year.) This is mainly so I can get it out to the community without showing a bad image of it (in case there are bugs.) While it's in Alpha, the price will be 35 R$ for entry (only have to buy it once), and during that time THERE WILL BE SHUTDOWNS and tons of bug-fixing.
So what's the benefit for paying for paid access? Well, you'll be able to play the game a week early and be able to experience the game before people who don't pay. I'm not here to advertise the paid access, because it's just for helping test the game, so let's move on.
Last year, the paid access alpha testing release was Christmas Eve, and the game officially came out January 1st. Hopefully I can do that this year as well.
This is the schedule I'm hoping for, but the game's current stage is still a bit too early to decide whether this is probable or not. This is likely the schedule though, since I have a whole week to finish it. So again, hopefully the ALPHA (Paid Access) release is on Christmas Eve morning (12:00 AM release), then the BETA (Free) release is on January 1st(12:00 AM release)-- however it is possible to change.
[[PLACE SLOT]]
This game will no longer be replacing the original Isolation, and it will be on a completely separate game-slot. So if you ever want to throwback, you can go and play the original!
[[GAMEPASSES]]
This is something I get a lot of: "WILL GAMEPASSES FROM ISOLATION ORIGINAL WORK IN THE REMAKE??"
Here's the official answer: Kind of. Why? Read this:
While developing this remake, I have gotten multiple (multiple) messages to keep the original Isolation and just make the remake a separate place slot. I actually really liked that idea, but I knew that if I did that I would have to make new gamepasses for the remake, which I am willing to do. Now before I see "omg billy you're just greedy that u couldnt keep the gamepasses from the original for us." I see what you mean, but think of this. The original Isolation had lots of negative reviews of the gamepasses being too 'overpowered' (which I admit is sort of true) and I want to make completely new, balanced, not overpowered passes for this remake. So what does that mean to Isolation: Original gamepass owners? They will continue to work in the original, however none will work in the remake. Some of the gamepasses in the original (such as golden axe) won't even be in the remake, and the new remake gamepasses you will have to buy. HOWEVER, you will not be empty-handed. I plan to hand out some sort of mini-benefits to those who DO own original isolation gamepasses in the remake. Not exactly sure what it will be, but it will be a little gift to those who have the passes in the original.
As for the new gamepasses in the remake, I am unsure whether they will be ready for the game's alpha release, and I'm unsure if I want to do pre-orders (what I did last year.) Gamepasses are always my LAST priority, after the game itself. I sort of think of it as DLC. I want to make sure the game is ready before the passes are out, so I am unsure if they will be ready to go with the Christmas Eve Paid Access Alpha release. However, I will try to get them ready for the January 1st official release. So stay tuned for more updates on that.
I hope this cleared some of the game-pass questions and concerns. If you have an idea for a mini-benefit to those who own an original isolation gamepass, feel free to comment it here.
[[MAP]]
Okay so, the map for the original Isolation has caused too many problems with people interacting with others TOO much. The whole goal for Isolation (hence the name), was to be very alone in the wilderness, and have interaction with other players VERY rare. I will be taking the necessary steps to do this. I plan to have a very massive island, a tropical sort of feel (what the original should have been). My main goal will be to keep player interaction very rare, and so when you do see another player, it will be extremely intense and very cautious for both sides. Remember, you won't know if the other player is a simple survivalist, a thriving community leader, or a savage killer.
More updates on the map will come in future posts.
[[TOOLS & WEAPONS]]
I plan for more variety of tools and weapons other than just the axe, spear, torch, ect. However this is too early to talk about, so I won't be shooting arrows at this section today.
[[GROUPS]]
I will for sure have groups in the remake, however they will be a future addition and not the for main release. Also, you will not have to buy a group gamepass for the remake anymore. I will have more on this in the future.
[[CANNIBALS]]
i'm just going to let you guys speculate.
[[FOOD & WATER]]
There will be a ton of more variety of foods, and water to eat and drink from. The most requested suggestion "can we pls drink ocean water." is being added! However, you'll probably end up sick as a dog. You'll be able to drink these types of water:
-Ocean Water (you'll get sick no matter what, but you can always use this to troll noobies.)
-Lake Water (can be drinkable if boiled, and you can drink it straight out, but there is a small chance you'll get sick.)
-Pond Water (always clean.)
As for food, a ton more is coming, but you'll have to see.
I'm not obviously going to go through everything tonight, but I hope you guys have gotten a taste of what is coming within 3 weeks :D! Remember, things are still subject to change, but here it all is.
So if you think you have a question, but didn't read the whole thing, PLEASE do-- you'll probably get an answer.

I hope you guys are as excited for the release as I am!

Interesting. Click this link to test out my game. It is a WW1 Simulator, the first of its kind... Hey, I got a great game in development. I have been working on it for over a YEAR now and I would appreciate it if you tested it out. Like all multi-player games, it NEEDS people to play it, so that's why I am contacting you so you could invite your group to the game. Give it a like (or a dislike), a good comment (or a bad one). Message me if your interested. ☆☆☆☆☆ Link- http://www.roblox.com/games/262032862/Sileo-Trench-Warfare |

| How is the reward for the Original gamepasses going to be rare if you have the Original game still open where players can buy it from there and still get the reward, that kind of just makes it another gamepass but sold on a different game. |

| It is possible to boil ocean water in real life to make it drinkable, y'know. I understand if it's just for the increased difficulty of the game, though. |

Holeh crap this was practicly made 2 years ago bro! The creator is post-trolling you guys! He's never going to make a remake! He said he would release it june or july in 2014, but he didn't doooo it.
He's trying to deceive you! Look away and never come back to this game ever again! He is a shame! Plus, in his status he said that hes working on super smash bros right now. I bet he isn't working on this game whatsoever.
I bet he's doing the update troll thing where you go to configure place, but then you instantly save and say you actually updated it a lot but you didn't like at all. Yeah that's real man.
But really, you can actually do that. This was created in like late 2013 or early 2014, and by the looks of it, see here: look at the remake creation date: it states 7/14/2015. Well if any of you remember good, you definitely know it wasn't created just there. It was last year or the year before.
1billybob1, you're gunna get iiiiiit. >:( |

It sounds great so far :D As someone who has all of the gamepasses I can completely understand how overpowered they are. It almost makes the game too easy to the point of being boring. That being said I really hope we can keep items like the gold axe only with nerfed abilities. Maybe instead of a 10 log carry limit make it four? And I would love to see some kind of perk where apples have a higher drop chance for those of us who are a bit nervous to set out on a hunt.
Maybe some more trap options for both wildlife and raiders? And I'm sure alot of people would agree with me that a food storage system is way overdue. All in all though it sounds fantastic :D Make it whatever way you see fit, you obviously know what you're doing. ^-^ |

@Venox
Isolation Original started development on Dec 7th 2014. The remake wasn't even thought of until August 2015.
It's been barely a year since the original has been out.
If you were twice as smart, you'd still be stupid :). |

| Also the remake is being made from scratch, not using any of the original Isolation assets. |
