Infinitum Alpha 2.1.0: The Story Update is now here!
Bunker
- Added the Bunker, a structure which spawns in most levels and is part of the new saving system, your progress only saves when entering the bunker, think of this as a "safe room" and of course when doing any changes inside it (changing your bunker name or lights)
- Portal has been moved inside the Bunker and finding parts needed to start it now save (For example you can find Calum and put it inside the bunker and leave, next time when you come inside the bunker, Calum is still there)
- In order to build the portal, you need to find 27 servers which can be randomly found around the levels and the 3 Items (Calum, Henna and Solis)
- Introduced 7 Color capsules(Items) which can be found inside the levels and when put inside the bunker, you can customize the lights color inside the bunker
- The Bunker is planned to be a highly customizable place, currently you can customize the light colors and your bunker name, which is show on the walls
Story/Cutscenes
- In order to build the portal you will need to find the 3 power sources and 27 servers which can be found randomly around the levels
- Introduced the intro part of the Story, proper cutscenes and the Infinitum Lab
- Introduced tutorial area with a proper tutorial for new players
- Cutscenes and tutorial area contain voice-lines and subtitles
Cats
- Added cats to the game!
- 1 cat can be found in each one of the 5 levels, so there are 5 different cats to be found
- Once a cat is found you can Adopt/tame it
- Adopted cats can be found inside the bunker
- In the future you will be able to add cosmetics to the cats and maybe take 1 cat with you and having a bonus, a 5% speed boost for example
InfoBook:
- Updated levels, entities and exits with more details to help the player understand the game more
Entities:
- Entities Ai, jumpscare animations and dead bodies left behind have been worked on and improved
New entity: Statues (something similar to Weeping Angels)
- can be found in poolrooms, they move at night and when the player is not looking at them.
- when getting too close during the night they will transform you into stone(with a proper animation which can be seen by other players)
Items:
- New consuming sounds for a few items
- Added Pool keys(New item which can be used to open locked doors inside poolrooms)
- Items Icons appear now as sketches inside the inventory
Quests:
- Added quests to the game, a free way of earning cosmetics/skins through progressing in the game/ finding things, you can consider these as side objectives to the story.
- There are currently 6 quests which offer 6 different Hazmat Suit Colors
New Feature: Levels travel Adaptation:
- Traveling to a new level now adapts depending where you're coming from.
- As an example, if you take the escalators in Level 0 to get to Level 33, you will get spawned in Level 33 but behind you will be escalators which will take you back to Level 0 if you want to go back there again. Levels In Infinitum are not meant to be "completed", you are exploring a new world and the more you learn about it the faster you will be able to travel between these levels, completing your objectives and building your own story.
- This feature is not fully implemented yet but it has been implemented fully for the bunker (exiting a bunker will take you to the level you came from and next to you you will find the bunker)
Others:
- Improved areas design where you can find the items needed to open the portal
- Introduced seamless travel, which should make traveling and loading times a lot faster and also fix all traveling between levels bugs
- When dying players drop their items now (before they would just disappear)"
- Everyone who participated in the Christmas event and placed well has now received their rewards
- Performance Improvements
- Screen popups now have sounds (notebook updated, achievement/quests completed)
- Added text chat and voice chat inside the lobby
- Added "Invite friends" feature inside lobbies
- World saves can now be played both as singleplayer and multiplayer
- Stamina system and hunger/thirst balance changes

- a TON of bug fixes ranging from ui and main menu to loading screens and generation, please report any bugs you find in the discord server
Planned features: Cats accessories and more animations, small building system inside the bunker to build shelves/crates to hold your items, and many more!
