### Trick-or-Tweak

The island grows dark. The trees begin to turn, the rivers run red, and the full moon rises. A new spooky orange obstacle drops one of two new weapons: a training weapon from A.E.G.I.S. stores, and a very powerful shotgun specially modified by H.A.Z.E.L.'s R&D team. The Halloween event ended on November 5th as of 2023.

## October 22, 2023 - 0.11.0

### Making Waves

The island grows ever busier with the newest structure, the port. Search the warehouses and shipping containers for loot, 'cause they’re packed! Containers can also be found throughout the island. But the most valuable loot is contained in the bow of the massive container ship. A highly prized sniper lies within, but you’ll need to solve a puzzle to get in.
If you like swimming, you’re in luck! Rivers now snake through the landscape, and the ocean is now accessible.

We've added two new guns to our arsenal: the Flues, a sawn-off double-barrel shotgun, and the M1895, a revolver.

In addition, we've made many quality of life changes, including shorter guns, custom crosshairs, and a kill leader mechanic.

## Suroi v0.11.0

### New features & changes

* Rivers & ocean! Rivers have been added. The ocean is now accessible.
* New buildings! Added the port, the largest structure so far. Added shipping containers, which spawn at the port and throughout the map.
* More guns! Added 2 guns: the Flues (a sawn-off double-barrel shotgun, equivalent to surviv's MP220), and the M1895 (a revolver).
* The big house has been replaced by a smaller variant. The big variant will be overhauled and re-added in a future update.

* Kill leader! A kill leader mechanic has been added. The player with the most kills, if it's more than 3, is awarded the title of Kill Leader, and their name and kill count appears in the top right.

* Custom crosshairs! You can now choose between various crosshair styles, and customize the color and outline.

	+ The left joystick now controls rotation as well as movement. Rotation is overridden by the right joystick.
	+ Snipers now shoot when releasing the joystick.

## October 12, 2023 - 0.10.2

### Secret Updates

* Added Bots! Up to 4 bots will spawn per game on average, with a bot for every 15 players on the server at one time before the first storm phase. Though they may not be smart, and serve as a free kill, they do fill up the space with something to shoot at. Don't underestimate them, as they are easily capable of killing players. Do not get close to one if it has a shotgun...

## September 15, 2023 - 0.10.0

Back with a Bang
Despite the construction delays, we're back on the island to officially open the newest building: the refinery! Full of plenty of loot, but watch out or the whole place could go ka-boom...

We're also happy to announce a large shipment containing 4 new types of guns, including two new DMRs! One gun is Italian, and three are American. Sources indicate the new LMG is particularly potent...

Our scouts have fully mapped out the island, including its beaches. We've decided to begin adding name markers to the map to aid in navigation. You're welcome!

-*HAZEL*
Special thanks to Leia and platonthek. This update wouldn't have been possible without them.

* More & better particles! Players now emit particles when using healing items. Added bullet shell particles and muzzle flash. Obstacle hit particles now show in the correct locations.

## July 30, 2023 - 0.9.0

Behind Closed Doors
We at HAZEL are proud to announce the construction of 3 new structures on the island. The cozy house is a great place to spend the night…although you'll want to leave before the gas catches you. The warehouse, though abandoned, still contains some unopened shipments, just waiting to be looted. Lastly, if you need to do some "business", there are plenty of porta potties around for that purpose.

There are also two new Austrian arrivals to the island. Like the Micro Uzi but want something that packs more of punch? The Steyr AUG might be for you. If you prefer a challenge, grab the all-new full auto pistol, the CZ-75A.

Surians can now customize their skins, and express themselves with emotes too! Everything is unlocked until accounts are added.

-*HAZEL*
### Added

* Buildings! Added 3 buildings: the house, the warehouse, and the porta potty.
* Skins & emotes! Added 20 skins and 58 emotes. All skins and emotes will be unlocked until accounts are added.

* Games are now longer.

## July 17, 2023 - 0.8.0

Untrodden Lands
H.A.Z.E.L. has made various improvements to weapons systems to refine them further, and a small shipment of antiquated arms has been received from Flint Industries. Scouts have explored more of the island. We've mapped out the gas release points, allowing us to predict the gas's movement accurately. Additionally, new AR software updates have been pushed out to ensure battle readiness.

### Geared up

A long-awaited shipment, containing helmets, vests, backpacks, and scopes, has finally arrived on the island! Protect yourself with helmets and vests, pack in extra ammo with backpacks, and get the jump on your enemy with scopes. Unfortunately, due to supply shortages, guns have become more scarce.

-*HAZEL*
### Added

* Equipment! Added helmets, vests, backpacks, and scopes.
* Replaced the 940 Pro with the HP18, a functionally identical gun which should be easier to distinguish from other shotguns.
* Added client-side prediction, which should make the game feel a lot more responsive. It can be turned off in settings.

## July 2, 2023 - 0.6.0

Tablets & Tweaks
A new adrenaline item, tablets, can now be found! Tablets, along with all other healing items, can now be picked up and carried—but they no longer work instantly. Check out the Featured YouTubr and Streamr on the redesigned title screen! The kill feed and settings menu have also been redesigned. A golden object may drop a very powerful weapon...

-*HAZEL*

### Secret updates

* Juggernaut event: Players (Mostly developers) spawn with ray guns.

## June 17, 2023 - 0.4.0

Supplies received
We have received the new arms and supply shipment from Mr. Flint. In the crates were all four weapons promised: the Mosin-Nagant, Ithaca Model 37, SAF-200, and Glock 19. These should help us dramatically, as we were in great need of additional and varied firepower. Additionally, the new medical items, gauze, colas, and medikits, will allow better treatment of injuries. However, they were not of the portable variety we requested, and we hope to resolve this soon.

*-Dr. Felix Sterling*

### Added

* Loot! Crates now drop guns and healing items. Players no longer spawn with guns.
* More guns! Added 4 guns: the Mosin-Nagant (a sniper), Model 37 (a pump shotgun), SAF-200 (a burst fire SMG), and G19 (a full auto pistol). Recoil has also been added, meaning guns slow you down when firing.
* Server selector! You can now choose between 3 servers: one in North America (Detroit, Michigan), one in Europe (London, England), and one in Asia (Osaka, Japan).

2, 8, 18, 7
A mysterious orange gas is now being reported around the island. We collected a sample and were able to convert it to a solid at -7.2°C, but found it to be very toxic. You've been warned! In other news, if you're the last one on the island left, you'll get your very own chicken dinner courtesy of HAZEL, the perfect meal to enjoy your victory!
