We're excited to announce that we're officially part of Steam Next Fest!
To celebrate, we're launching our brand-new demo early starting today! You can jump in right now, well ahead of Next Fest's official start on June 9th, and enjoy the experience throughout the event. The demo will remain available until June 30th, giving everyone plenty of time to dive in.

Whats New in the Demo?

Weve overhauled nearly every aspect of the game based on your feedback. Here are just a few of the major updates: Visual Overhaul: New art for environments, interiors, items, and more All-New Level Design: Every level rebuilt from scratch with improved depth and detail Lighting & Atmosphere: Full day/night cycle, environmental lights, and a personal flashlight Enhanced Audio: Positional sound for added immersion and spatial awareness Updated Content: New and refined weapons, gear and artifacts with improved visuals, effects, and balance UI/UX Upgrades: Access key remapping and gamepad controls mid-run Refined Mechanics: Improved shooting and overall gameplay feel While our Next Fest demo is live, we'll be collecting more player feedback via our feedback form which can be accessed in-game, on Discord, and in our Steam forum. If you have any suggestions or feedback, please let us know! Thanks for your support and if the demo made you smile (or scream), drop us a wishlist. It feeds the horde in our tiny outbreak.

Following the release of our new demo, were happy to bring you the first round of bug fixes! Weve also added an in-game Feedback button, accessible from the pause menu, to gather your thoughts on the demo experience with a short survey. Your feedback is essential in helping us shape the future of Zombiehood, and we're listening closely to every suggestion.

General:

• Added Feedback and Discord buttons to the pause and demo ending screens.
• Refreshed visuals for the Steam and Discord buttons on the main menu for a cleaner look.

Game Balance:

• Reduced the shop prices of Big Iron, Dual Big Iron, Shotgun, Single Shotgun, SMG, Dual SMG, Burst Pistol, Dual Burst Pistol, and Assault Rifle to make them more accessible.

Bug Fixes:

• Resolved rare cases where waves could get stuck if zombies were defeated too quickly during the boss event.
• Dual Big Irons: PIcking up a second Big Iron while having one equipped, now correctly grants Dual Big Irons, consistent with other dual-wielded weapons.
• Fixed an issue where zombie waves would continue spawning after completing the demo, potentially affecting performance on the event end screen.
• Scrapping weapons and equipment now correctly reflects your money modifier skill in the salvage price indicator, giving an accurate preview of returns.
• Corrected turret behavior to shoot standard projectiles as intended, rather than explosive rounds which didn't collide with zombies.
• Fixed loot crates occasionally dropping incorrect ammo types.
• Resolved cases where the second arm in dual-wielded weapons could appear in front of the characters head.
• Fixed the final quest not marking as completed upon finishing the demo.
