Build 0.2.0.0 + Changelog

Hi everyone!

Road to Vostok has entered its second phase in the Early Access called Build 2.

The main goal with this build is to introduce AI vs. AI combat to the game and friendly faction called Nomads, but there are bunch of improvements and small additions as well.

There are some planned elements still missing from this build (mainly new trader tasks & shelter features for Nomads) but I will be patching those in the following weeks.

Details about the Build 2:

• Free update for all early access owners
• 25% discount Oct. 1 - Oct. 8 (Steam Autumn Sale)
• Compatible with existing save files (new game still recommended)
• Most existing mods will not probably work (start without mods)

Main features:

• AI vs. AI combat
• AI character variants
• New friendly faction: Nomads
• Nomad reputation system
• New AI behaviors
• New boss: Bogeyman
• New traders: Driver & Hunter
• New maps: Bridge & Airfield
• New events, weapons & items
• New voicelines & radio music
• And much more...
