Zibbs - Alien Survival introduction
Hello everyone,
In this article I want to introduce Zibbs - Alien Survival, my new game in development.
Zibbs - Alien Survival is an open world game where you play as an alien trying to survive on the unknown planet - Earth.
Alien research mission makes an emergency landing due to spacecraft malfunction. The landing place - unknown planet called Earth. Playing as an alien, the player must survive in the extreme conditions of a foreign atmosphere, as well as look for the necessary materials to repair the spacecraft. The aliens have unique abilities that will help them remain unnoticed when interacting with intelligent beings of the planet - humans. Being on Earth requires careful handling of the local flora and fauna, as well as constant monitoring of body temperature. Scanning the environment will help to find the necessary elements for the alien nutrition.
Only the most experienced players will be able to successfully explore the unfamiliar and dangerous planet and safely leave it!
Features:
- Play as an alien who arrived on Earth.
- Unique nutrition and crafting system.
- Interesting patterns of interaction between aliens and humans.
- Explore the environment using unique alien capabilities.
- Beautiful open world map.
So, what is ready and what is currently in development?
The game is an early stage of development. In the Early Environment Preview below you can see landscape and some inventory features along with nutrition of the alien. The next step will be adding some new animations. When it is ready I plan to add some humans and AI.

Foundations of Game Engine Development, Volume 1: Mathematics
Amazon · Book
The first volume of Foundations of Game Engine Development discusses the mathematics needed by engineers who work on games or other types of virtual simulations. The book begins with conventional treatments of topics such as linear algebra, transforms, and geometry. Then, it introduces Grassmann algebra and geometric algebra to provide a much deeper understanding of the subject matter and highlight the places where traditional arithmetic with vectors, matrices, quaternions, etc., fits into a larger picture. Includes exercises.

Meta Quest 3
Amazon · Hardware
The standalone headset most VR developers build for first. It runs Unity and Unreal projects natively, links to a PC for tethered development, and adds colour passthrough for mixed-reality experiments. The practical entry point for anyone starting VR or MR development.

Xbox Wireless Controller
Amazon · Hardware
The de facto reference gamepad for PC development: every major engine and input library treats it as the baseline layout, and it works over USB or Bluetooth without extra software. Keep one wired to the dev machine for input testing even if you ship elsewhere.
