In Go Wayback! a new map is generated for you to explore every time you play. To create these maps, we use our in-house machine learning technology to empower our designers to create environments that look and feel natural.

I don't understand Prologue's game demo at all despite spending hours with it over the weekend, but it does involve a lot of slow wandering around in the woods, which is the best thing to do in video games

After watching @zaknafeintv.bsky.social's first look & thoughtful review of our Go Wayback! demo, I reached out to chat about his feedback & our bigger plans at @ppsocials.bsky.social We sat down last week and had a great conversation, and I've included some of the highlights below <3

Here's a short clip showing some of the worlds you'll be able to explore in Go Wayback! during early access. We've also updated the demo with ten new maps, a new help screen (H) to get you started on your adventure, and multiple bug fixes <3 Try the update now @ demos.pp.studio

The team at @ppsocials.bsky.social is also working on improving the mountain environment in Go Wayback! While we have more improvements to make, I'm very happy with these early results <3 You can try this update soon via community.pp.studio

We're testing an updated version of the Go Wayback! demo in our next play-test, starting at 19:00 CET today. Lots of QoL fixes, and 10 new maps for you to explore <3 Join @ community.pp.studio

Needless to say, I'm very proud of what they have accomplished over the last year, and can't wait to see what they can do this year with our community's help and feedback <3

Here's an updated look at the WIP cliff system from the same POV in Go Wayback!: the first from the public demo, and the second from our dev build, both of which I played today. It still amazes me how quickly the guided generation system allows our team to iterate on the environment of our worlds.

The demo grants access to every survival system in the game, rotates through four hand-picked maps, and sets no time limit per round nor cap on deaths per session. We want players to explore, experiment, and tell us what works, and what doesn’t.

PLAYERUNKNOWN @playerunknown.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

We’re looking forward to your stories, feedback, and bug reports, which will allow us to shape Go Wayback! together over the coming months, before early access launch later this summer.

PLAYERUNKNOWN @playerunknown.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

We now have a live demo of Go Wayback in players’ hands! Sharing our games during early development is a founding principle of our studio and allows the @ppsocials.bsky.social team to iterate on core systems with player input early on.

The progress the Go Wayback! Team has made on guided generation for the river system, in just a few months, has been nothing short of amazing! In these two shots, the improvement is clear, 1st from February & 2nd from last week. Excited to see how our team can leverage this over the coming year!

We're working on improving the weather tower location in Prologue: Go Wayback!, and this concept shot we made for reference is such a vibe, I just had to share <3

"Staying dry becomes a matter of strategy, players can move to a hot place (e.g., a shelter), get close to a fire, or if they are feeling confident expose themselves to the wind outside." Our latest dev blog discusses staying dry in Prologue: Go Wayback! playerunknownproductions.net/news/staying...

And because I like details, here are some updates to the weather tower prop set. The art team has pretty exciting plans to add visual depth at this location, and I can't wait to share their work sometime soon <3

PLAYERUNKNOWN @playerunknown.bsky.social · 01/05/2025

As a novice still, I love seeing the process from idea to in-game, and the iterations that follow from feedback provided. And as I love seeing the process, I thought I'd share it in case anyone also finds it interesting <3

The guided generation system in Prologue: Go Wayback! enables our game team to add multiple points of interest (POIs) to our generated maps. Currently, the team is giving the weather tower POI some love...

Battle Royale has come a long way from 48 players and 90-minute rounds, and it's been amazing, humbling and wonderful to watch it blossom within the industry. Thanks again for all your support over the years. I hope you enjoyed this small part of the game mode's history <3 🧵 4/x

We recently updated the cover art for Prologue from a placeholder, and I wanted to highlight it today, as I genuinely love senior artist Jorry's concept work. He blends in-game imagery with wonderful overpainting to create great impressions of what we hope to achieve in the game...

I'm sharing this article as I felt such pride in the team when reading this paragraph. It's a risk to build something hard, unforgiving, not for everyone & trusting players to create their own stories in an emergent space, but the team have nailed it so far, and I just wanted to shout that out <3
