Description

Embark on an adrenaline-fueled journey in Strayed, an immersive open-world VR multiplayer survival game.

History

Original Idea

In late 2020, Drew Mileham began prototyping Strayed with the desire to create a multiplayer survival game inspired by Rust, one of his favorite games. However, he added a distinctive twist to the concept: the game would be in virtual reality (VR). Approximately 1.5 years into sporadic prototyping, Drew unveiled his first developer vlog for Strayed, showcasing the substantial progress made in implementing key gameplay features. The foundational structure of Strayed's codebase was solidifying during this critical stage.

Development

In late 2022, Drew brought on board Jordan London for programming, Liam Reese for programming, Andrew Copp for level design, and Chris Bednerak for 3D modeling, expanding the development team for Strayed. Throughout 2023, the team dedicated themselves to enhancing Strayed's fundamental features. By mid-2023, recognizing the need for additional resources, the team launched a Patreon campaign to secure funding for the entirely self-funded project. A free open beta was held from December 2023 to April 2024.

Present Day

Strayed officially released into early access on Steam and Meta Applab on April 19, 2024. The game is actively being developed.
