Hello! This project is being developed in the Stalker(S.T.A.L.K.E.R.) game series universe. You've probably heard of the legendary "Shadows of Chernobyl" and know what the game is about. But I am sure not everyone knows about the test builds of Shadows of Chernobyl, which were made by the developers to show the progress of the game to the publisher or journalists. For true Stalker fans it has long been no secret that the builds were very different from what came out on release. Developers for all 7 years have cut a huge amount of content and the atmosphere of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone has changed for the worse. Instead of desolate, gloomy and primordial, dangerous and mysterious zone in 2007 the game came out not the one the fans have been waiting for. Therefore, the purpose of our project is to recreate that Zone from the builds, with the atmosphere that was supposed to be in the game, along with this we plan to launch a server with quests, NPCs, factions and 3d weaponry, armor and vehicles. Join our DISCORD and SUBREDDIT for more information
