Survival Log Release Roadmap

This release roadmap page keeps expectations honest for Survival Log on Steam. The full release targets 2026-08-12 from Midnight Workshop and Lilith Games, while a demo is playable now. We focus on preparation habits rather than inventing a fake feature list.

What we consider confirmed framing

• Single-player zombie hoarding survival sim fantasy
• Pre-disaster stockpile and post-disaster safehouse play
• Planning Points style time pressure
• Power concerns across diesel, manual, and solar ideas
• Multi-floor living, cooking, farming, traps, rescue, drone trade textures

Always verify dates and marketing bullets on the official Steam store page for app 4164790 if schedules shift.

What players should practice now

Everything in Demo Update, Getting Started, and Systems Hub. Launch catalogs may grow; scarcity thinking remains. Priority Checklist language should still apply.

What this wiki will re-verify at ship

• SEO and guide accuracy for new systems
• Power and triad pages
• Map risk assumptions
• Role pages if kits change
• Tool category labels in Stockpile Planner and Day Planner

How to read roadmap rumors

If a rumor does not change your next demo thesis, ignore it. Your next thesis should still be water, boards, or fuel when those are weak. How to Stockpile beats trailer speculation.

Wishlist versus skill list

Wishlist the game if you want launch reminders. Skill-list the game if you want competence: fortify, power, cooking, planning. Review Hub is more useful after skill-list progress than after trailer watching alone.

Pre-launch week plan

1. One clean demo loop via Demo Walkthrough
2. One role compare via Roles Comparison
3. One power-focused run (How to Manage Power)
4. One defense-focused run (How to Defend)
5. Rest so launch day decisions stay sharp

After launch day

Return to Updates Hub for patch clustering. Expect early patches. Re-run verification days. Do not throw away layout laws from Floor Layout because a new appliance exists.

Promise of this page

We will not invent systems to sound ahead of official channels. We will translate official changes into practical wiki routes under Guides Hub and friends. Roadmaps are for calm preparation, not lore fanfiction.

Takeaway for Release Roadmap

Before you close this updates page (updates/release-roadmap), write one Steam-demo action that only this article justifies. Spend Planning Points on that action alone, then score dusk by meters and doors. If Midnight Workshop or Lilith Games patch the related system, re-open this URL first — not a random sibling — so the lesson stays attached to Release Roadmap instead of dissolving into generic prep advice.

Depth pass for Release Roadmap

Players open Release Roadmap when a specific failure shows up in the Steam demo — not when they want another generic pep talk. Name the failure in one sentence tied to updates/release-roadmap: empty water, dark fridge, broken door, late dusk return, or a Planning Points day with no thesis. Midnight Workshop and Lilith Games will keep tuning the updates layer toward the 2026-08-12 release; your job is to re-test the same failure after each patch instead of hopping guides. Use sibling hubs only after you can describe what this page already asked you to do. If you cannot, reread the sections above and run a half-day lab before spending a full Planning Points budget.

Session card: updates/release-roadmap

1. Write the Release Roadmap outcome before unpause.
2. Protect Tier 0 water and calorie buffers even when this page tempts a specialty chore.
3. Keep one path clear for traps and boarding even while rearranging storage.
4. At dusk, score meters and door integrity, then decide whether updates/release-roadmap needs a second lab day.
5. Bookmark Demo Update if a patch touched the systems named here.

Why Release Roadmap is not interchangeable

Other wiki pages can mention the same nouns — safehouse, power, stockpile — yet Release Roadmap owns a different decision order. Stealing a thesis from a sibling page mid-day is how quiet runs die. Stay inside this article’s order until the demo proves the failure mode is gone. Then graduate to a linked guide with a new thesis, not a pile of half-finished chores. That discipline travels from the live demo into the full Survival Log release window without depending on spoilers.

Final check for Release Roadmap (updates/release-roadmap): if today’s note does not mention a concrete updates action, you skimmed instead of practiced.
