Introducing CMI + Modding Guidelines

19 Thg08

CM IMMERSIVE

Hello explorers!

CM Games has recently split into several independent studios, and we are excited to introduce ourselves as CM IMMERSIVE (CMI for short), a brand new independent studio made up entirely of the team behind Into the Radius.

ITR remains fully ours. The IP belongs to CM IMMERSIVE now, and we are continuing our work on the game same as before. Nothing about your experience will change. The only difference is that moving forward, you’ll see CM IMMERSIVE credited as the developers instead of CM Games.

The CM Games logo will remain in previously published materials.

Dev Diary // One Year Later

24 Thg07

Hello explorers!
This day marks one full year of Into the Radius 2 in Early Access. In this diary, we’d like to look back on everything we’ve achieved in the past year, tell you what we’re working on now, and share our future plans.

A Retrospective: One Year in Early Access

At launch, there were very few settings, and no difficulty presets at all. These, along with numerous quality-of-life and accessibility improvements, were added over time. This also includes new gear options and settings tailored for content creators.

Initially, there was only one body turning mode. Now there are three. Major issues with height calibration were fixed, interaction with the world became more intuitive, and ladders and bars stopped being death traps.

We’ve added tons of new firearms (e.g. AKM, M4A1, SVD, G36), and most weapons now have 2–3 variants instead of one. This allows you to discover new guns in the Radius or upgrade from basic to modified versions.

The base weapon set was expanded with dozens of new attachments, wear-and-tear mechanics, and cleaning tools. Aiming mode was added, and ammo can now be purchased and stored in larger boxes.

At launch, loadout options were limited to three chest rigs in a single color. Since then, we’ve added 2 vests, 3 types of armor plates, 3 ballistic helmets, and 2 types of Distortion-Proof headgear, as well as multiple color variants for most gear. A custom loadout system was also introduced, allowing you to freely place and arrange pouches as you see fit.

Artifact detectors were initially locked to your right forearm. Based on your feedback, they were turned into regular items you can lose, drop, and buy. Other gear upgrades followed, such as the headlamp. Hunger and fatigue systems were introduced, along with food to manage them.

Progression, missions, game balance, and mechanics have been revisited, polished, and rebalanced repeatedly. The same goes for nearly every UI and text element.

The base originally felt too clean and empty. Over time, it became more lived-in and believable, and proved that its structure is actually very convenient. The largest and most complex map, Pechorsk Outskirts, was added in our latest major update. All original locations received significant visual and gameplay upgrades across multiple iterations. The day-night cycle was balanced, making time of day more noticeable. Anomalies became more visually distinct, enemies more grounded, and their behavior more natural. Distortion Zones, ash structures, and breakable human figures were added to many areas.

Three Fragment variants, an additional Creep, and a new “Hedgehog” anomaly version were introduced after the initial EA launch.

Co-op mode spent some time in beta and was initially rough for many players. Later, it became much more stable and now includes a proximity voice chat that’s gradually factoring in the environments of both players.

Overall, the game became more stable, user-friendly, and better optimized, with noticeable performance gains. Of course more work is yet to be done.

We’re proud of how the game has evolved this past year, and we’re not slowing down…

What We’re Working On Now

We believe the core gameplay of ITR2 is now strong enough to deliver dozens of hours of playtime. Our next big goal is expanding and improving on these systems and features, setting the stage for a proper 1.0 version. One with a clear beginning, middle, and end.

Right after wrapping up the loadout customization system, we began designing a similar system for weapon customization. We’ve wanted to do this for a while, but struggled to find a solution that was both well-designed and feasible. Now, with the loadout system in place, we have a technical base to build from. The vision is clear, the design documentation is done, and implementation is underway.

In parallel, we’re working on several new guns, including the long-awaited Mosin-Nagant rifle.

A new, advanced artifact detector is also in development. It will let you reveal invisible artifact nests, bringing back the full functionality of the ITR1 detector. This opens up room for future iterations.

We’re also creating new Committee equipment to diversify mission objectives, as well as a batch of new anomalous items to collect in the Radius.

Work continues on polishing and optimizing Pechorsk Outskirts. These improvements benefit both the PC VR version and the ongoing Meta Quest port of this massive location. We’re also revisiting key points of other maps to improve gameplay flow and visual quality, adding more props and environmental details along the way.

At the same time, we’ve started working on the game’s narrative. This includes systems and elements not found in ITR1. It’s too early to say whether any of these will be included in the next update, some story content just doesn’t make sense to release in small pieces.

The next major update is scheduled for September~October. As usual, we hope to release a beta version beforehand, but no sooner than mid-August.

What’s Next

While current development continues, we’ve also started planning and prototyping the remaining features and content for the full 1.0 release.

Here’s what we currently expect to include in version 1.0:

Expanded mission system
A small final location
Lore materials
A full story with a beginning and end, including unique missions
New firearms
More anomalies and enemy types
Improved destructible figures
Reworked artifact system
Interactive props and openable doors, hatches, and drawers
Higher overall optimization
More stable co-op mode

We’ll share more about these features in future dev diaries. Of course, keep in mind that these are our current plans and they can change.

What We’re Not Doing Before 1.0

To be clear, here’s what we definitely won’t start working on until the full release:

Localization. Not worth doing until the story is finalized.
4-player co-op. Might be possible for PC VR, but won’t happen on Quest due to technical limitations.
Ports for other platforms. Maintaining two major VR platforms during Early Access is already a full workload for our team.
Mod support. This isn’t viable while the game is still in active development (updates, system changes, etc).

We’re aiming to release version 1.0 around the middle of next year and will share more precise dates ahead of time.
Thank you for supporting us and being a part of this journey through Early Access. See you in the Radius!

Update 0.13.7 Anniversaries

9 Thg07

Hello explorers!

This summer, we’re celebrating two milestones on Steam: 5 years since the release of the original ITR, and 1 year of ITR2 in Early Access. To mark the occasion, we’ve prepared a set of special rewards inspired by both games in the series. Please note some of these items will only be available during Early Access!

MAIN CHANGES

\[Gear] At the Facility, you’ll find a new patch featuring the emblem of the original Into the Radius.
\[Gear] Three toy Pechos have been added to the game — now with a heartfelt visual update, while keeping their familiar ITR1-style look. One was left at the Facility by a fellow Explorer, and the other two can be found in shelters throughout the Pechorsk Anomaly. These miniature versions of the legendary Pecho aren’t just cozy base decorations, you can also take them with you on your next trip Into the Radius.
\[Facility] Special mugs have appeared at the Facility for those who joined (or will join) ITR2 at any point during Early Access. After the game’s full release, this item will remain exclusively with players who purchased the game before launch.
\[Facility] Those who supported us during the first year of Early Access will find a special honorary reward, The UNPSC Certificate of Distinction, waiting for them at the Facility (available only to those who purchased the game before July 31st, 2025).

OTHER CHANGES & FIXES

\[Crash] Fixed a crash that could occur when hitting a Fragment from a very long distance.
\[Settings] Renamed the highest difficulty from Nightmare to Realistic and changed the settings of its parameters.
\[Facility] Fixed visual bugs related to outdoor lights.

UPDATE 0.13.0 GHOST TOWN

24 Thg04

Hello explorers!
A new location with unique traits and atmosphere, new weapons and attachments, numerous changes and features - all await you in our latest and greatest (definitely biggest) update to date.
See you in the Radius!

IMPORTANT NOTICE

This update is not compatible with any previous saves! To experience all the changes, please start a new game, but beta testers will be able to transfer their saves from Betas 2 and 3 (not 1).

KNOWN ISSUES

The first launch after the update might be confusing, as shader compilation will take place during loading, but there won’t be any image visible in the headset. This is normal – the process just isn’t properly reflected in the UI yet.
Foregrips may temporarily stop working after a saveload or transition between locations. Detach and reattach them to restore functionality.
The reticle inside the Sight Magnifier is there by mistake and will be removed in an upcoming patch.
In Co-op, the client may still hear the host's microphone after transitioning to a different location, even if the host's mic volume is set to 0%. Workaround: fully disable voice chat (Settings -> Audio -> Voice Chat [Off]) and/or mute your teammate’s microphone on the Team tab in the pause menu.

KEY FEATURES

Player Body Improvements

We added a new option for the player's body behavior when the player tilts their head – in the style of ITR1. The setting has been renamed to Body View and moved from the Gameplay to the Controls section in Settings. We also increased the accuracy of automatic height calibration. The player’s character has been made slightly shorter by default and the hands are now slightly smaller. Slightly adjusted the camera position relative to the body for improved comfort, and tuned the grip mechanics for all climbable objects for improved climbing comfort and ease of use. Physical crouching has also been improved: you can now crouch much lower and even lie down. For better visibility when crouching very low, the player's body becomes transparent so it doesn't block the view.

Customizable Chest Rigs, Armor Vests, and Backpacks

The weapon and item placement system got a complete overhaul – now, you’re able to not only use pre-configured Chest Rigs and Armor Vests but also reconfigure them and even create your own setup from scratch. You have near-complete control over which pouches and holsters you need, where and at what angle they will be placed, allowing you to fully customize your Chest Rigs, Plate Carriers, and Backpacks to fit your playstyle. All items in the game have received updated internal capacity parameters and their impact on the capacity of containers they are placed in, aligning with our current vision for the loadout system and its customization.

Now, your overall loadout is determined only by the Loadout Points of the Helmet, Rig or Vest, Backpack you're wearing, and the weapon in your hands. It is also affected by the attachments on your Helmet and weapon. The heavier they are, the slower you move – regardless of how much is stored in your Backpack, Chest Rig, or Vest (each of them has their own compatibility and capacity limits). Loadout parameters have been completely rebalanced for all weapons and gear. With these changes, the lighter your equipment, the heavier and bulkier weapons you can handle without being overloaded, and vice versa. Please note that Loadout Points do not represent weight but rather a synthetic parameter combining weight, size, and ease of use.

New Guns and Attachments

New weapons have been added, each with multiple variations: the Fort-17 pistol, the SVD sniper rifle along with its silencer, and the G36 rifle, which comes with a unique set of attachments (muzzle brake, rail, handle with scope, short rail, and a Reflex Sight for it). Foregrips have been reworked into standalone attachments, and two versions of vertical and angled grips have been added, each available in three colors. Also added another variant of the Rail with Dovetail Mount, the Riser Rail attachment (allowing sights to be mounted higher than the base rail), and the Sight Magnifier, compatible with various sight types.

New Location

Introducing a new massive location, with the working title Pechorsk Outskirts! This is a comparatively late-game area, making it more challenging than previous locations, with new conditions, dangers, and trials awaiting all Explorers. Proper preparation, equipment, weapons, and supplies are essential before venturing in. In its current implementation, access to the new location is unlocked through the Top Priority Mission: Distorted Sample Delivery.

New Progression & Balance

The in-game progression has been completely reworked. Missions, loot, enemies, anomalies, and access to weapons and equipment have all been adjusted to ensure a gradual difficulty curve and progression, with the introduction of the new large location. The maximum Security Level has been increased to 4, with some equipment and weapons now unlocking only upon reaching it. With the addition of a new late-game location, the Forest location has been made less dangerous and difficult, as it was originally intended to be. The number and difficulty of enemies there have been reduced.

The anomaly distribution across all Radius locations has been reworked. Some anomaly clusters have been removed, others have been modified or completely redesigned, and new cluster variations have been added. Enemy distribution across all Radius locations has been completely reworked in terms of both numbers and difficulty. New enemy placement variants have been added, taking into account their updated behavior, including ambush tactics. Loot across all Radius locations has been reworked. With the new progression system, loot distribution between locations is now more distinct. Additionally, numerous small adjustments have been made following the "fewer containers, more loot in natural environment" approach.

New and Improved Radius Entities

Added a new variant of the Fragment monster – with an explosive core, and a new variation of the Creep monster – a hunter version. Mimics with shotguns now operate at closer range, shooting and reloading while walking. The visuals of Mimics have been refined to make them more sinister and grim: glowing jaws have been removed and the death visual effects have been changed. A new variation of the Hedgehog Anomaly has been added for nature locations. The appearance of the Distortion Zones has been altered to make them less bright and more ominous.

Proximity Voice Chat in Co-op

Please note that it's a beta version and the chat may not be very stable. We want to start playtesting it as early as possible to check its real performance at scale. Your feedback would be of great help to us!

Enhanced Visuals of the Radius Locations

18 Thg04

Hello explorers 👋
Beta testing of update 0.13 is in full swing. While we continue working on its completion, we’d like to discuss what’s happening with the game right now and what lies ahead of us.

Betas of Update 0.13

First and foremost, a huge thank you to everyone who has played and continues to play the beta versions, sharing their reactions, bug reports, and feedback! This greatly aids us in the development and evolution of the game.

Beta 1 was released in February, introducing a complete overhaul of the loadout system (backpacks, chest rigs, and vests), now featuring numerous individual pouches and options, making it fully customizable. Additionally, the player’s body was refined, new variations of anomalies and enemies were added, locations and visual designs of various entities were improved, and the majority of annoying bugs from version 0.12 were fixed. It also included results from refactoring and optimizing multiple systems for both single-player and co-op modes.

Beta 2, released in early April, added a new massive location (Pechorsk Outskirts) crafted in the urban style frequently requested and discussed. Alongside this, the entire in-game progression, settings, and balance of locations, anomalies, distortion zones, enemies, loot, weapons, and items were reworked. The Loadout Points system was simplified, tutorials, climbing mechanics, location audio, and Base design were refined, proximity chat was added to co-op mode, and both old and new bugs were fixed. Beta 3 was released just last week, containing even more fixes!

Currently, we’re still focusing on bug fixing and minor adjustments, in preparation for 0.13’s full release.

Progress Wipe

But it’s not all sunshine and artifacts — with update 0.13, we’ll need to perform a wipe, meaning all existing save progress will be reset. Into the Radius 2 is still in Early Access, and periodic wipes are a natural part of that process. We know it’s not ideal, and we did our best to avoid them during the 9 months we’ve been in EA — which led many to think wipes weren’t going to happen at all. But that was never the intended norm.

With update 0.13, a wipe has become unavoidable. The scope of changes (technical, progression-related, balance and location settings) is fundamentally incompatible with old save files. Supporting legacy saves would require significant resources — resources we’d rather invest in new features and content. The point of Early Access is to develop and evolve the game, and long-term save stability just isn’t something that can be guaranteed in this phase.

Will there be another wipe in the future? Yes — at the very least when we launch the full version (1.0). Beyond that, it’s hard to say. It’ll depend on the nature of future changes. In any case, we’ll warn you in advance, just like we did starting with Beta 1.

Scale and Significance of Update 0.13

Update 0.13 is a very large update by our standards, that doubles the game’s content and playtime. ITR2 hasn’t received such a substantial update before, and nothing comparable is expected at least for the rest of this year.

The new location is 1.5 times larger than the biggest locations in ITR1, surpassing Forest, the previous record-holder in the series. With its addition, the total area of Radius locations in ITR2 will constitute 3/4 of all locations from the first game. The visuals and atmosphere of previous locations in the Pechorsk Anomaly have also been given an upgrade.

Importantly, many technical changes in Update 0.13 lay the groundwork for the game’s further development. For example, the addition of proximity chat will make co-op more convenient and independent, and it opens up the possibility of implementing a full-fledged radio/walkie-talkie mechanic. The introduction of customizable loadouts and backpacks has our game designers eager to make other elements customizable as well.

What’s Next?

Very soon we’ll release update 0.13. This will mean that over half of the game is officially complete, and available to our early access players. Apart from all the content in the betas, 0.13 will also include several new weapons and attachments, as well some additional refinement of the Pechorsk Outskirts, and bug fixes.

Following Update 0.13, we plan several patches to further stabilize and optimize the vast amount of functionality, content, and technical changes. At the same time, we’ll continue to improve and refine the new location.

According to our estimates, on the path to the full release, we still need to make several major updates (though not as large as 0.13). This doesn’t mean that work on the game will stop after version 1.0 is released. We’ll continue to release content updates, patches, and fixes, but they will develop, deepen, and expand the full game.

But that’s all about the future. For now, let’s cover some...
