Bunker Survival – new game from Game Island
In the near future, humanity was decimated by its destructive nature, and only few species or those who managed to hide below the surface survived.
With such a short description, Game Island studio announces their next game title in the survival genre.
What can we expect?
This time we can get ready for a real feast for fans of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.’s climate (fans of the Fallout series should also have nothing to complain about). The world of people was destroyed by their greed, exhausting the earth’s resources. Mother Earth repaid us with contamination, diseases and conditions in which only a few species of animals survived and – worst of all – evolved into even wilder and bloodthirsty versions. Staying outside the bunker is possible for a limited time only, thanks to post-apocalyptic technology created from the remnants of the old world.
Bunker Survival will combine characteristic mechanics of survival games, shooters, and RPGs and we will even find something for fans of builders type games. In addition to improving equipment, players will be able to expand their shelters by adding more crafting stations or change their bunkers to a larger ones, which will give more possibilities.
“In our new game, we want to give our players a combination of a dynamic gameplay mode outside the bunker, where we will have a limited amount of time to collect necessary materials, medicines, construction elements or food AND a slightly static gameplay, consisting of expanding our headquarters and craft necessary machines or weapons to survive” – Michal Ojrzynski | CEO Game Island
There is no place like… bunker
In the Outworld we will have to face (apart from radiation) our enemies: mutated animals, other survivors and mother nature, who wants to cleanse herself of the human plague. Players will also have to remember to nourish and hydrate, which will be equal to subsequent trips deeper and deeper into the contaminated land.
In the bunker, of course, they will have the opportunity to build a special table for the recovery and processing of irradiated food, and we will be able to put a water filter that will save valuable time. In our base there will also be a special place for strengthening our character and modifying weapons and equipment – which will be necessary when visiting some zones and dangerous areas.
“We want to provide hours of gameplay for everyone. The player will be able to choose whether he wants to explore and venture into undiscovered areas, or to calmly develop his shelter and build his strength” – Michal Ojrzynski | CEO Game Island
This is how another game title from Game Island studio will look like. We are waiting impatiently for results and progress of their work! Game Island will keep players informed about the progress and news that will appear in the game, so it’s worth following their latest title on Steam and social media. Stay tuned.

10-15% Of Gamers In Florida Show Signs Of Gaming Addiction: Here Are 10 Signs Your Kid Is Suffering From It (And How You Can Help)
Recent studies indicate that 10-15% of young gamers in Florida exhibit signs of gaming addiction. These findings underscore the need for early identification of symptoms to prevent negative impacts on children’s mental and physical health. Gaming addiction, if not dealt with, can lead to poor academic performance, social withdrawal, and even health problems.
Marin Cristian-Ovidiu, CEO of FreezeNova, discusses key indicators of gaming addiction and offers practical advice for parents.
Recognizing Early Signs
“Early recognition of gaming addiction is crucial in preventing long-term negative outcomes,” Marin explains. The following signs can help parents identify if their child might be developing an addiction:
Exhaustion and Irritability
Constant tiredness and grumpiness during the day could indicate late-night gaming sessions interfering with sleep.
Gaming Obsession
If gaming dominates your child’s thoughts and conversations, and they plan their day around it while neglecting other responsibilities, it could be a sign of addiction.
Decline in Academic Performance and Lost Interests
A noticeable decline in academic performance or loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities may suggest your child is prioritizing gaming over more important tasks.
Emotional Volatility
Extreme emotional reactions to in-game outcomes, such as uncontrolled anger, known as ‘Gamer Rage’, or intense celebrations, could indicate an unhealthy attachment to gaming.
Physical Strain
Signs of repetitive strain injuries like ‘Gamer’s Thumb’ or ‘Nintendo Neck’ from prolonged screen time are warning signals.
Neglecting Basic Needs
If your child is neglecting basic needs like eating, sleeping, or hygiene to keep playing, gaming has likely taken an unhealthy control over their life.
Creating a Supportive Environment
While video games can be a great source of entertainment and connection, around 70% of people with signs of gaming addiction also experience social disorders. Marin recommends a few tips for building a supportive and open environment for your child.
Teamwork and Setting Boundaries
“Parents and children should work together to create a healthy gaming environment. Gaming addiction requires a holistic approach,” Marin advises. Start by setting clear boundaries on gaming time to ensure there’s room for schoolwork, chores, and quality family time.
Revisit activities your child once loved, like football practice or exploring new hobbies together. It’s vital for your child to take breaks from screens, so create a balanced daily routine that includes homework, chores, exercise and just some gaming time. This allows your child to enjoy their games without neglecting other aspects of their life.
Open Communication
Maintain open communication. Discuss the games your child enjoys and any concerns you might have. By understanding their world, you can work together to find solutions.
Remember, you’re not alone. If you feel overwhelmed, seek professional help from specialists in gaming addiction. Marin concludes, “By working as a team, setting clear boundaries, and fostering open communication, we can help your child develop a healthy relationship with gaming and thrive in all areas of life.”
