Writing Updates
🕑 Added 2025-05-12 18:03:59 +0000 UTCHey everyone! I'm still deep in development on Zombie Exodus: Safe Haven and plan to stay focused on it for the next few months. As always, I’ve been having a blast working on more complex content. I’ve seen some Reddit posts recently saying that Safe Haven is one of the most replayable games out there, and that seriously made my day. Replayability has always been one of my top goals. Those are the kinds of games I love to play, and it means a lot to know that goal is resonating with so many of you.
Safe Haven Part 4 Progress
This month, I’m wrapping up Chapter 17. With a little luck, I might have it finished by the end of the month. That would give me next month to focus on playtesting and proofreading before I submit it. There’s still more I’d love to add, but my priority is making sure Part 4 is solid and stable before moving on.
One new feature I’m really excited about is the addition of manuals. Your character can read these to boost certain skills, even pushing from level 5 to 6, or 6 to 7, and allowing you to go beyond the normal limits for non-preferred skills. These manuals will be rare and hard to come by, but they're essentially free skill points. They should feel like a real reward when you find one.
I’m also planning to expand both the challenge and romantic content next month. Lately, I’ve been adding a lot for the Delusions, Dependent, and Pet Owner challenges, but I want to give some attention to the other challenge types as well. I also want to deepen the relationship dynamics, especially those arguments that can happen when you’re juggling multiple romantic partners and the truth finally comes out.
Questions?
If you’ve got questions about Part 4 or what’s coming next, feel free to reach out! I’m always happy to chat and keep you in the loop.

I'm probably not adding any additional ROs right now. But I appreciate your interest in them!

Just want to show some appreciation, thanks for your work. I have not a lot of things to look forward in my life but the part 4 is one of them ! Playing this game is actually one of the very few thing I'm able to do when depressed.

Jim, is there a chance to make Alexey and Amir being ROs? I’m hoping for 1 RO per faction, and ur description of them make me fan over myself 🤭🤭
