Maru VR Productions :

For Immediate Release

June 13, 2024

We are thrilled to announce the release of the first major update for Bootstrap Island, the highly realistic and intense virtual reality survival game that has captured the hearts of many VR gamers worldwide. This update introduces two highly anticipated features: an extensive building system and enhanced inventory management. These additions promise to elevate the survival experience and provide players with even more ways to explore and thrive on the ruthless island.
 

New Major Features Included in the Update:
 

Players can now construct and customize their shelters that provide protection and comfort using resources found on Bootstrap Island. With the help of the newly introduced Book of Building, packed with detailed instructions on crafting fences and gates, players can fortify their shelters against the wild beasts that roam the island at night. Proper maintenance is crucial to ensure your structures last longer. Additionally, players can search for special roots to use as cordage, an essential material for building sturdy fences and structures.

Survival on Bootstrap Island just got more strategic with the introduction of a new inventory management system. Players will now have a satchel to store their essential items. However, with limited space, careful planning is crucial. Mastering inventory management will be key to ensuring you have everything you need to survive and explore the island. And if you’re lucky, you might even find multiple satchels to expand your carrying capacity.
