Phase 01

Technical Foundation

The first technical foundation of BELORET in Unreal Engine 5 is in place: C++ architecture, a character, controls, interactions and a basic item model. These initial versions form the basis for further development of the multiplayer sandbox.

Completed

Basic architecture and gameplay framework
The first foundational stage is complete.
Completed
Character and controls
The basic version has been tested.
Completed
Object interactions
The basic version has been tested.
Completed
Basic item system
The first version has been tested.
Completed

Phase 02

Multiplayer Prototype

The first shared gameplay interactions have been tested in a two-player session with a Host and a Remote Client. This is an early test of networking mechanisms, rather than a finished multiplayer mode.

In progress

Basic Host + Remote Client scenario
The initial two-player scenario has been tested.
Completed
Shared container and item actions
A limited interaction scenario has been tested.
Completed
Early inventory and equipment UI in a networked session
Tested within the current prototype scenarios.
Completed
Broader gameplay scenarios and network testing
Further scenarios and tests are in progress.
In progress

Phase 03

Items and Survival Systems

The first versions of the item system, inventory and equipment have been built and tested. Basic item actions, inventory placement, transfers between supported storage locations and an early interface are available. This is not the final UI or a complete survival loop.

In progress

Item system and inventory v1
The first version has been tested.
Completed
Basic equipment and item transfers
Tested within the current scenarios.
Completed
Early inventory and equipment UI
The initial version is implemented.
Completed
Health, damage, death and respawning
Planned and being designed; not presented as implemented.
Planned
Further character needs and survival mechanics
Planned for future development.
Planned

Phase 04

Game World Systems

The technical prototype includes world items, limited pickup and drop scenarios, basic resource gathering and storage containers. These mechanics will expand alongside the game environment.

In progress

World items, pickup and dropping
A basic scenario has been tested.
Completed
Resource gathering with a tool
A basic scenario has been tested.
Completed
Containers and item transfers
A basic scenario has been tested.
Completed
Additional world interactions and objects
Planned for future development.
Planned
Time, weather and environmental effects
A direction for future work.
Planned

Phase 05

World and Further Development

The long-term direction of BELORET is a multiplayer survival sandbox in a fully fictional post-Soviet region. Natural and industrial locations, environmental conditions, seasons, infection and new player-world interactions are being explored. These are design directions, not finished features or promises of deadlines.
