I added a thrift shop to my cozy apocalypse survival game

While building this world, I really enjoy adding places I personally love in real life. (they’ll probably be covered in blood soon enough though.) This time, I added a thrift shop.
I’d love to hear what kind of quiet, oddly cozy places people enjoy finding in survival (or even open-world) games.

Hi everyone!

We’re a two-person indie team working on In the Van, a post-apocalyptic open-world survival game where your van is your only safe home.

This is still very early WIP, but we recently made our first devlog after 2 months of development 👉My Devlog Link

When we started, I didn’t know much about pixel art, so a lot of the past 2 months has been learning, testing, and slowly improving while building the game.

Our goal is to grow this into a survival world where players can make their own stories scavenging outside, returning to their van, upgrading their mobile home, and trying to survive in their own way.

I’ll leave the YouTube link in the comments!

I’ve been drawing locations for my post-apocalyptic survival game, and just imagining what could happen there already feels fun.

My pixel art still has a long way to go, but I’m enjoying building the world piece by piece.

What unique locations would you like to see in a post-apocalyptic survival game?

Hi everyone!
We’re a two-person indie team making In the Van, a cozy post-apocalyptic survival sim.

There’s still a lot we need to develop, but we made this first-look teaser to get some early feedback.

Our goal is to mix hardcore survival outside with cozy van life inside! scavenging, coming home, cooking, crafting, and preparing for the next day.

Does the teaser feel cozy enough, or does it come across as too tense?

Just in case you'd like to take a closer look: In the Van Steam Page
