1.3 Patch Available

Hello survivors! The 1.3 Free Patch is now available, bringing new features and improvements for Dead In Vinland!

NEW LANGUAGE!

One of the most requested language by the players is finally available! Thats right, Dead In Vinland now fully supports:

Russian (Community translation. Thanks A LOT to our awesome russian translators: Gedo, Barley, Egor, Kerrael, Xippy, Suzakua, Alex)

NEW FEATURES

Advanced difficulty options (for all game modes): modify A TON of parameters to customize your playthrough. See full list here:

Modify how the states increase/lower each time. You could for example play a game where the characters dont get any Fatigue at all, but they get twice the amount of Injury and Disease.
Modify how the states impact the skills: you could make it so the characters states dont lower the character skills, of have twice the impact.
Modify the random value affected to Acquired skills at generation: choose 0 to have less random, 100 to have crazy numbers.
Modify the number of bad starting Traits: you could start a game with 0 random starting Traits, making it fairer to every character.
Modify skills and general XP bonuses. You could make a game with skills that dont evolve at all on each use, but you get twice the general XP, making it a game around level ups!
Modify the number of Level Up Traits you get to choose from each level-up. If the random factor of level-ups annoys you, you could set it up to 100 and get the choice to customize your character freely.
Change the resources gains, the crafting speed, the exploration speed.
Change how fast camp stations lose condition, and how fast Natural Resources lower and regenerate.
Remove the chance to have special Traits when using camp stations, or double the chance to get one, and change the value of Depression Crits.
Make the diseases more or less frequent, and make them harder or easier to heal.
Change the chances that each character will get Dehydrated each night (I personally advise setting it to 100% chances), and change the way water rationing works (yes, you can revert to the initial values that were a bit harsher than now)
Adjust the chances of food rotting overnight. You can make everything un-perishable ^^
For Heodening mode only: Modify the number of days you have to wait between Tributes, and the difficulty of Tributes amount asked.
Change the animosity gains. You could make an endless game by removing them completely.
The chances of getting fights. If you dont like our battle system (and it makes us sad), you can remove the battles! (not recommended: battles are an important way to get loot!)
Give you a boost of chance to succeed skillchecks You know, those nasty 3-in-a-row skillchecks you have to succeed in Rune challenges?
Some other parameters for Heodening mode: the delay between map resets, and the pace at which the battles will increase in difficulty.
And finally, one set of options that Im particularly proud of: you can completely modify the probabilities each weather has to appear, depending of the current weather Very cool! You could make an island where it constantly rains, or where there are no storms, etc Youre a real god now!

Intelligence skill reworked: now modifies skills XP gains, instead of doing nothing. Added stats screen in character sheet.

FIXES

Fixed a nasty bug which prevented Angelicos main event chain to trigger.

BALANCING

Level cap increased from 30 to 99 for all game modes (Endless AND Story)
Tavern changed so that relax mode is less OP:
Lowered depression cured in relax mode by 5.
Relax mode has now 10% chances to give Bored trait and 10% chances to give Demotivated trait.

Happy surviving!

DEAD IN VINLAND is a survival/management game, mixed with RPG and adventure elements, about a Viking family trying their best to survive on a mysterious island.

Exiled on a faraway and unknown land, lead Eirik and his family on their quest to survive.
Manage their physical and mental health, explore the island, organize your camp and deal with other human beings. Some will help you, and some will be less... friendly.
Unveil the esoteric mysteries of Vinland. They could save your life… or lead you to your demise.

KEY FEATURES

Deep survival management simulation : find and gather resources, secure a supply of food, take care of the mental and physical health of your characters, fight diseases and wounds, ration your water supplies, endure the elements (storm, drought, rain…).
Challenging: the game is turn-based so you have time to take the best decisions, but the challenge is high! You’ll have to adapt to the crisis the game throws at you, with your own reasoning.
3 modes of difficulty: if you just want to enjoy the story, we added an easy mode and, for the crazy lunatics, we added both an extreme difficulty and iron man mode, that even the developers of the game can’t beat!
Build your camp: expand your shelter with 18 activity stations, each one with its own mechanics. Craft more than 130 upgrades and dozens of items to give you precious bonuses. Choose well, you won’t be able to craft everything.
Manage a community: 14 playable characters, each one with their own strengths, flaws and stories. Influence how their relationships evolve with meaningful dialog choices, achieve one of the 7 possible romances or kick annoying characters from your camp and recruit new ones. And some surprises!
Explore the island: 150 areas to discover with hundreds of objects to interact with. Unveil the many secrets of the island and its beautiful, hand-painted landscapes.
Don’t just survive, settle: you can hunt, harvest, fish… but you can also grow a garden and breed sheep! Advanced camp stations with special mechanics.
Live your own adventure: complete 70 non-linear quests to reach the end of the game. Depending on your choices, learn about what happened to your characters after the end.
Animosity and tribute system : be “welcomed” by the infamous tyrant Björn Headcleaver and his merry band of robbers. Bend the knee and pay him weekly tributes, or rebel… and face the consequences.
Full RPG system: 5 health states to care for, 20 skills to develop, more than 600 character traits, 100 items to collect, 30 diseases and 20 wounds to die from… Customize your characters: choose from 5 randomly generated special traits every time they level up.
Turn-based tactical combat: quick and deadly 3 vs 3 battles against Björn’s minions. 5 unique playable character classes, each with its own set of fighting skills, and 5 passive classes.
HUGE content: more than 150 000 words - twice the size of the first Harry Potter book - telling a mature yet humorous story.

DEAD IN VINLAND is the second installment in the “Dead In…” universe, after DEAD IN BERMUDA. The two games are standalones, but you’ll learn a bit more about the secrets behind these strange islands and the general background in each game of the series.
