  Start Over 2.2.0

  We want to thank you all for the support, feedback, suggestions, and bug reports. A special thanks to the content creators, the players in Start Over's Discord, and the Steam community hub. We also deeply appreciate everyone who has supported the game, even if you haven't played in a while or simply believed in the concept. We've been working incredibly hard on this update to address complex hardcoded issues that were almost impossible to solve—but we've done it. On a more personal note, I’d like to share a bit about our journey as developers. We started the development of this game as a small group of family members. As time went on, we were reduced to just two developers working on this project. Eventually, it became just me, and now the game can't even financially support my work alone. Despite this, I've decided to pour everything into this major update, making the game as stable and polished as possible. I deeply appreciate the community for supporting us through this journey. Moving forward, I will do my best to fix any game-breaking issues that arise post-update. Thank you all for being part of this journey. Save System Changes: We’ve completely reworked the save system. This means that old saves will no longer be compatible with the new update. However, to access your old saves, you can go to Steam, right-click on "Start Over," click Properties, then Betas, and select . This will allow you to continue using your old saves while playing on the updated version of the game. Reworked Systems Reworked the world save system Reworked player data and game data saves Reworked vehicle and AI saves Major improvements to saving and loading times Bug Fixes: Fixed Bunkers targeting bug Fixed a bug where hotbar and quickslots items disappeared after entering a vehicle Fixed lighting and shadow bugs Fixed performance issues Fixed NPC AI shooting and targeting bugs Fixed issues with the spawn system Fixed a bug where hostile animals spawned near the player Fixed a bug with t...

  Development Update

We're changing the animal spawn system and making significant updates, including remaking the world map and adjusting core systems. This update is taking longer than expected, but we're aiming for a release around October. Thank you for your support! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43800079/c0483ae8ccd0aa19fe3cedd217505fa256c78b2a.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43800079/67a7957adab3c83d8e2fb06e6dd9599a8f7fd164.png
