First of all, the bad news. I got rheumatism in both wrists (I had played too many Gothic 2 mods ;)) and could only work extremely little the last months. This delayed the development of Dead Age: Survivors, but thanks to medication I can now work much better again and things are progressing.
My best friend Steven ... uhm ... Sandro is currently working on the desert maps and they look pretty nice. We will bring some pictures at Easter.
I'm currently working on the dialog and quest scripting for the new faction: The Lost Ones. The story should be a bit more exciting and atmospheric than in Dead age 2. For me, that's always the coolest thing to work on ;-)
In programming Simone and Pedro are still busy with bugfixing our prototype, but after that it will be about the expansion of the new strategy features, because Dead Age Survivors will have a conquest and defense feature of areas.
We will tell (and show) you more about Dead Age: Survivors in the future - so make sure to follow the game and add it to your wishlist. This would really help us a lot!
Have Fun ,
Rayk (Holy Avatar), Sandro, Pedro and Simone!

Greetings survivors!
Dead Age 2 was finally released for PS5 and XBOX X/S. While the new Silent Dreams 2.0 team is working on the new Dead Age: Survivors, Headup has taken care of the last points for the console release.
in case you missed the last Dead Age: Survivors news.
Our artists Sandro and I have made the graphic style of the portraits a bit more realistic, but still mixed the comic look. I think the new look for Dead Age: Survivors is quite cool.
Story
In Dead Age: Survivors Trish and Jack are again the managers of Jacks Camp in the new Area of West End. The story begins dramatically when Jack disappears without a trace...
While Trish is frightened, there are two suspects that the player (Jason) gets to know and at the same time the situation becomes dangerous as several factions want to take the chance to conquer the areas around the new Jack's camp. Not an easy situation...

Another good news: Dead Age 2 will finally be released for modern consoles (PS5 and Xbox Series S/X). The date is August 8th and last news we had a Dead Age 2 update for the Italian language,
For readers who didn't catch the last news, here it is again:
As a designer, It was a horror time last year for me (with 4 diseases at the same time!) and the lost of several devs because of financial problems, but now i can develop fulltime on Dead Age: Survivors with currently 50% Status together with Simone, a new italien programmer, Sandro (my best friend and a good artist) and a few part time programmers as fully independent Silent Dreams 2.0.
It will take more time because we work private indie style, so please don't get impatient. A demo is planned for the summer of 2025. Dead Age Survivors should be released in summer of 2026.
But we want you to play demo in 2025 to give us feedback on what we should improve.

It's still a bit too early for new footage, we're in the process of changing the invisible "random battles" to a few random enemies on the map that move from round to round and can sometimes be dodged.
Our new lead programmer Rao and Quest programmer Huaxia are part of the changed team from 2023 and both from China who are studying in Germany. Fitting, because next to the USA and Germany, China is our largest part of the Dead Age playerbase. More infos about our team will come in the next news.
What else have we done? An important part of the storyline is managed (some mean ideas ^^), many Ui, rooms in the base and and lots of loot locations. Human trafficking has been implemented to get the important random survivors with money or by using quests, which are needed for conquering territories and working in several bases.
The very fast conquest system on the map is inspired by the classic Defender of the Crown, Me - Rayk, the designer, played it on Amiga 500 as a boy, who hardly wanted to go to school, but had plenty of Amiga games to play ;) . But there are numerous classes for the survivors so that they can be trained as soldiers or workers in the bases.
But don't worry, Dead Age: Survivors remains an RPG with the new new strategy features. In addition to the random survivors, there is of course also a group of heroes with storylines. The portraits you can see are of the important story survivors Ava and Frank. - This time there will also be more conversations in the camp, as requested by many players.
While Ava searches for his lost sister and brother, Frank has an even tougher fate, which will put his psyche to the test. This makes me realise that new values exist, namely stress and motivation. While strokes of fate and bad decisions can lead to negative values, in new rooms, the regeneration with an indoor pool and massage benches can repair the stress value and Trish's famous bar with lots of beer or wine repair the motivation. Just like in reality *cough*.
Release for Dead Age: Survivors will be back on Early Access first and should be possible by the end of 2024, as long as we don't delay too much in the next features like the more complex combat. More on the combat will be revealed in a few months, then also more about new skills like martial arts, axe and shield or two uzis
Of course, we will keep you updated as we work. Thank you for your feedback. With your input, we hope to bring you Dead Age Survivors, the best Dead Age title yet, combining the strengths of its predecessors with new features and improvements.

We have exciting news for you. We have decided to go back to turn-based combat in Dead Age Survivors as well. Especially your feedback, which was very much in favor of turn-based combat, brought this turn.
Please add it to your wishlist
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2117160/Dead_Age_Survivors/
Currently we are experimenting with a few features. It is not certain yet, but probably you will be able to move more freely on the small battlefield to critically attack your opponents from behind.
There will also be some new tactics, so stay tuned.
You can also meet us in Discord:
We are now going to make the new troop combat more Crusader King style. You can see the numbers of troops slowly moving down as 2 leaders fight each other on the map, and the advantages and disadvantages of the troop types will also play a role. Your own troops can also get badly injured and have to be patched up by medics later. These changes make the troop battles go quickly, so it doesn't get tedious. Primarily, Dead Age Survivors continues to be an RPG with numerous quests and the survival features that will continue to be expanded and improved.

It offers the proven survival RPG gameplay with a touch of strategy as you know it, but Dead Age: Survivors is coming with a twist: the combat changes from turn-based combat to real-time pauseable party combat!
Besides that, you solve complex quests, loot resources, build several camps and battle against 7 greedy factions. those huge battles with up to 14 survivors included the party of three with the hero plus numerous other companions used to conquer or defend territories.
In this battle you have a lot to do, because on the one hand you can rage through numerous enemies or strengthen your own troops with commander skills.
This combination of story RPG with interesting quests, some cool companions and the conquest campaign with alliance possibilities and some really mean bad guys.

Dear Survivors & Dear Jasons,
Again and again we have the situation that players are upset about the permadeath, especially if the player dies first, for example, after 30-40 hours, it is frustrating. And I admit it honestly, I wouldn't feel any different after playing for so long.
For the next new Dead Age, we came up with a new idea that lowers the frustration, but you still remain mortal. Now we thought we'd offer the same option for Dead Age 2 Version 1.1.7
It works like this, when the player dies for the first time, a Revival Set is activated. this heals the player by 40%. Now comes a warning that says you need a new kit.
In Dead Age 2 you can buy such high-tech kits only once in each U.S. Army base for a lot of dollars. (500 dollars)
If you still die you can increase the healing rate of the revival set by upgrading the medicine and increase the amount by 1.
The first death is the worst, because many players were completely shocked by it, not even knowing that the game has a permadeath feature. So after the first death you are warned and the thrill remains.
The idea was that you need to raise a lot of money to ensure the safety of a Revival set and this will need hard work for this.
But be warned that the story characters like Sarah, Tessa, Isa, Lance, Fernando can still die forever when they die. Here, however, we had thought of some characters that will later come to your camp when one of the story characters dies, but they no longer have a story. So be careful!
I hope that this will eliminate the frustration for you and still keep the survival thrill.
For veterans, let's say that they can also sell the sets if they hate them, plus the veteran mode in the start options is a perfect way to set the game harder.
I hope that 99.99 percent of players will be satisfied with this. :)
If you want to support us now, please write a review, so that we also survive on our huge quest. It's really hardcore difficulty level for developers to survive with masses of indie games on Steam.

Right now we are in a prototype phase, but we are pretty sure about most of the design points. This will be followed by another 2.5 years of development until 2024. Here's the updated list of what we're planning to include and it's a lot of work with increased budget and team size.

After all, the difficulty for Dead Age 2 is designed for all players. There are three levels, and for those who find the game too easy after all, they can set themselves new challenges. Beware of too heavy settings. ;)

Dear Survivors & Dear Jasons,
In this update for Dead age 2 small improvements and bugfixes were made, which were discussed in the community forum. For example, we reduced the chance of ambush attacks on day. We are also slighty reduced travel encounters in unfriendly country. But remember, if you solve the area quest in each area, the area becomes friendly and then the chances of Random Encounters are much lower and you even get some friendly events.

Dear Survivors & Dear Jasons ,
In this update for Dead Age 2 there are a lot of improvements to the 3AP skills, making them a bit more powerful and useful. Most of the time you will use the 3AP skills in bigger fights.
We now believe that all skills are useful, e.g. the jumping strike which now cannot be blocked as a melee skill. Also, for example, the defensive skills such as Give Cover or Return Fire, which have now become somewhat stronger.

But we need to find a consensus of all different opinions here. It's kind of like a faction alliance xD
One week later we will work on additional survival options. Nothing big, but small ways to make the game even harder. If you are interested in that, just have a look here:

Dear Survivors & Dear Jasons ,
In this latest version of Dead Age 2 after player feedback we fixed problems with some quests. This includes the U.S. Army quest, which now offers a more obvious second option to complete the quest even without enough U.S. Army reputation.
Buying reputation is another option, but it is only available in certain situations of some special quests.
Furthermore, a nastiness has been improved in the final dungeon, I marked the entry with a warning spoiler.

Next week we will improve some skills from balancing. You can still give feedback here before we work on it.

Dear Survivors & Dear Jasons ,
Dead Age 2 has been released. With this new version, some annoyance features are fixed, less encounters in peaceful areas and the critical hit / block chance of enemies do not go to unnormal great heights when they have a higher level. We continue to work hard on the bug fixes and minor improvements that have been asked for.

Dear Survivors & Dear Jasons,
Are you ready to survive? Here is the release of Dead age 2. Finally we made it after over 3 years of sweat and tears. Here is a press link to the news if you want to share it:
https://mailchi.mp/headupgames/dead_age_2_full_release_link
And you can always visit us in discord: DISCORD
Thanks to all who helped us , there were many bug descriptions from the community. Without you we would have taken much longer! :)
Of course we will continue to fix all bugs that are reported after release. Dead Age 2 is our baby!!!
You will still see the "Developer Version" in the game. This is an automatic feature of the engine that helps us to find crashes accurately.
If you want to support us now, please write a review, so that we also survive on our huge quest. It's really hardcore difficulty level for developers to survive with masses of indie games on Steam.
I think we will manage to reach 80% together with you, In Early Access we started roughly with *cough* 45% ...
After that we fixed and improved countless of features and then we climbed steeply upwards to 79%. :)
We have tested a lot, but if you still find bugs, please report them directly to us in the forum. This saves us a lot of time. https://steamcommunity.com/app/951430/discussions/1/
If you find a bug, please don't write angry reviews, just report it to us in the forum.
There are only a few developers like Silent Dreams who fix bugs at a furious pace. :)
Newsflash: If you use an "integrated card" laptop, you can finally play Dead age 2. We were lucky to find the bug.
Nevertheless, these graphics cards are often rather weak, so reduce the details in the options menu if necessary.
In case you have not noticed the last big update before the bugfixes were the formation button and the "Replacement Survivors"
A "Replacement Survivor" enters the camp only when someone has died, because the game is built around a certain number of survivors.
We are also fixing bugs that the community reported, here is the area: https://steamcommunity.com/app/951430/discussions/1/
If you have found a serious bug, crash or blocker, please let us know.
Sometimes when you find a serious bug it is good to stop immediately and send us the data.
You can send us the crash zip or the save and the backup files save1 for slot 1, backup1 and backup1b Please send us to contact@silentdreams.de In this case we can check the bug better and maybe repair your save.
you find the saves here: just copy it to the Windows Explorer %appdata%/../LocalLow/SilentDreams/DeadAge2

Dear Survivors,
Dead Age 2 is on Early Access. The release for the next big storyline update has a small delay. Release date of the last big update is 5.3.2021. Final Release date of the whole game is the 12.3.2021.
We need a bit more time to find all bugs in the new southern area.
In this current update there is the last new main character potrait. Personally I love him. :)
Many people have asked for the formation button, so here it is.
You can now set one party member that starts in the front row. The formation button is set on the map next to the portraits.
But there is still the option to leave all three characters behind, in case you just want to empty your magazines. ;)

Dear Survivors,
Dead age 2 is currently on a 45% sale. The release for the next big storyline update is planned for the end of February.
In this update there are again some bug fixes and an adjustment of the balancing after a 6-10 hours of play. After discussions with players from the community, Dead Age 2 becomes a bit harder in the 2nd half of the story. Problem was that the characters were significantly higher in level than the desert / mountain zombies and zombie mutations. (Level 10-11) Now it will be so that you have to play much longer to reach, for example, level : 12. Level 13 or Level 14 would be too easy against them.
So everything remains fair, but it should be a stronger challenge. Feel free to give me your feedback if you haven't reached the desert yet. Use the link: https://steamcommunity.com/app/951430/discussions/
For players with lategame saves, we will also adjust the new storyline that follows the desert later in the end of February. So that the enemies have a better level.
Then a big "merci" to Pauline Forestier who has improved French Translation. So every french player can check the nice text. :-)
Dont forget: We will add the formation for a melee fighter in the next update, so one can be chosen directly in the frontline. This is a feature that many wanted and we see it as a good feature as well.

Dear Survivors,
Dead Age 2 is currently on sale with 45% off for Christmas. Maybe give a friend a festive treat with some angry zombies?
This new content update includes additional speech bubbles in combat for party members and as requested by the community we have included "Replacement Survivors". These four survivors are non-story characters and replace a story survivor if one dies. All you have to do is encounter them in battle.
A "Replacement Survivor" enters the camp only when someone has died, because the game is built around a certain number of survivors.
However, the final story update will not be released until February. There have been a few delays and in addition we are adding another Wishlist Milestone: an improved Final Boss Dungeon that needs a bit more time. In exchange, there will be some interesting ideas in the final hours of Dead Age 2. :)
There are still a few thousand votes missing for this additional content, but we believe that we will get these votes by the time of the content update in February.
In case you have not noticed the last big update before this update was the threat barometer.

Dear Survivors,
Today we have a major update for Dead Age 2. Levelups now have much more interaction. The damage model has also been improved, which primarily affects the combat with assault rifles and blades. It has also been improved that users of blades and assault rifles can see which enemies are ineffective when attacking. The tutorial has been shortened a little bit and also deals with the new levelup system.
An endless mode is activated for slow pace players.
In addition there is a completely improved Russian translation with a better font. The French translation has also been improved, but is still work in progress.
If you want to support us, please write a review.
Here is today's changelist:
-changed: Better Russian (full) Thank you to "" and french (a part) language
Thank you to Alexandre Mangin
-changed: Endless mode
the timelimit quest now starts only when you do the important leader quests. For players who want to play with slow pace, (but with a levelup limit to not make the later action too easy)
-changed damage calculation: defense and resistance are now applied as a percentage reduction to incoming damage
-changed attribute distribution: players can now choose which attribute to increase on their characters. On level-up a character will gain 5 attribute points which can then be spend just like talent points
-changed level-up popup: adjusted the level-up popup to account for the changes made to attribute increases. It is now also a bit faster because you don't have to wait for something like three windows to pop up and out again
-changed tutorial: we cut out some fights from the tutorial to shorten it a bit
-several balancing changes: together with the new defense calculation we went over the different weapon categories and tried to balance them accordingly
-exchanged the Cyrillic font with one that resembles the comic look of the Latin font a bit more
-changed reputation status "Hero" now requires 100 reputation instead of 90
-fixed characters holding the pistol in a weird way and clipping their arm through their body while walking in combat scenes
-fixed that the cursor in controller mode was offset by some noticeable amount on resolutions smaller than 1080p
-fixed that when investing talent points and then trying to switch to another tab would just close the GUI when confirming or reverting the talents instead of actually switching the tab
-fixed that in some cases the player party's AP points did not properly reset when a new combat began (e.g. arena fights)
-fixed a possible bug where the target location of Mary's quest could becomes unable to be entered
-fixed that enemies that spawn as a second wave wouldn't have their passive buffs applied correctly
-fixed that enemies would keep an attack charge when they went stunned or KO
-fixed that zombies in the help punks/scavengers events would spawn with a fixed level range and not adapting to the area level range
-fixed that merchants in random merchant encounters would not drop the item they were trading if you fought against them
-fixed that in some events if the bribe option didn't work out your money was still taken and not given back
-fixed that the dialogues from faction leader Joseph regarding map events (e.g. horde attack on HQ) were not replaced when he was not longer in charge of the HQ
All the best and stay healthy!

-fixed that in some cases because of the changed start date of the final quest players who were already at the final fight or after it got a stuck state
-improved russian translation (next week the full version)

-fixed some issues with characters in the camp choosing a bed spot on day / night transition
-fixed a crash when a party character was executing a counter while the required weapon ammo is depleted. It will now ommit the counter attack and show a floating text
-fixed that the tooltip description of constitution went missing
-fixed some errors in the localization
-fixed that the stats increase for equipment was calculated wrongly when using upgrade kits
-changed: gear that is currently equipped by a character can now be upgraded in the upgrade menu without having to unequip it first
-changed: slightly reduced the damage of all shotguns because it was a bit too high in comparison to pistol damage
-changed: reduced the crafting cost of pistol ammo a bit
-changed: increased loot for Hunter Ammo and Technical Ammo
-fixed that the death count in the stats was not carried over to the next run so the "die 3 times" achievement was impossible to reach
-fixed that the vsync option was not saved persistently between game sessions or rather that it was ignored when the game started up again (resolution and full-screen settings may have been affected as well in some way)
-fixed that health points didn't immediately updated their value when a constitution buff wore off
-adjusted font of the hp and xp point display on character slots shown in inventory, camp room and skill UIs
All the best and stay healthy!

Dear survivors,
weve got some good news for you. The Wishlist or Buy event has reached 40,000 wishes. With this we can now add additional Rogue-like events! steamhappy But there is much more to report. Because of the feedback we received we decided to extend the development for one and a half months to include new features that you suggested.
Late August:
Dear Survivors,
Dead Age 2 is available now on Early Access!!! Thanks for all the reports, we will work hard on it! If you want to support us, please write a review because our goal shall be to have at least 70% positive reviews in steam to survive in our huge quest.
We have again adjusted some points based on your feedback, e.g. the timing of shop refills to be on a global or added dialogues to Lydia that allow you to skip the last few days if you already mannaged to befriend two factions.
Here is today's changelist
Wednesday:
-fixed that after establishing your alliances in the final quest with Lydia you no longer can negotiate with the left over faction
-changed fernando's quest so you can no longer visit the quest location without him indefenitely
-fixed a dialogue that occured at the end of Sarah's quest even when she was dead
-fixed some issues related to the passive loot location scouting every 5 days
-fixed a crash (introduced in 0.4.7) that occured when the fight against Dexter started
-fixed some issues that could occur due to the fast dialogue skipping added in 0.4.7
Friday:
-fixed one of the civilian combatants holding his gun the wrong way
-fixed that during the final quest temporary characters like side quest doctors could interfere with the fights
-fixed that random encounters on the last step in the final quest could interfere with the fights
-added dialogues to Lydia that allow you to skip the last few days if you already mannaged to befriend two factions
-added a dialogue option to the merchant at the Army outpost in City West to guide the player if he searches for the armor
-fixed the dialogue option in Tessa's quest briefing, that gives you medkits was not disabled after you chose it (resulting in unlimited medkit exploit)
-fixed a dialogue in Tessa's quest mentioning Sarah instead
-fixed that one of Fernando's dialogues during Tessa quest triggered in a way that when leaving the game right away the result of that dialogue was not saved and got lost
-changed the timing of shop refills to be on a global, fixed 5 day cycle instead of depending on the players last visit
-changed the mechanic how the USArmy Armor is added to the merchant by Lana's quest so it is always available
-updated several particles in the game from unity's legacy shader to latest shader (possibly fixing some remaining graphics crashes? for example in the hospital scene)
-fixed that talking to a baarkeeper about an already assigned side quest would spawn a new ghost locations every time
-fixed that the game got stuck when doing Joseph's quest in the prison when the main character was the only party member
-improved allied AI so it wont use skills that have no value in the current situation eg: "Return fire" when no ranged enemy fighters are present
-added a new debug mechanic: if the game is in a fight and not waiting for player input after a wait delay of 10 seconds without any new combat / AI command happening the game will assume it got stuck and create a crash report. This will hopefully help iron out some of the remaining random freezes and similar problems in combat that are too difficult to reproduce
Dear Survivors, Dead Age 2 is avaible on Early Access. Thanks for all the reports, we will work hard on it! If you want to support us, please write a review because our goal shall be to have 70% positive reviews in steam to survive in our huge quest. We have again adjusted some points based on your feedback, e.g. the animations from the crawler were made a bit faster. The Us Army HQ now checks not only the leader but all party members based on the armor the army needs. In August we will talk about some major changes, e.g. the level up! Here is today's changelist - improved gui localization for russia (dialogue improvements will come in a few weeks) -fixed that the end of day popup on the map could interrupt active dialogues which in some cases could break quest scripts -therefore added an retoractive fix for saves where the "Rescue Jamal" task didn't finish correctly -fixed that the 2 wrong locations to find and rescue Jamal during the quest were not removed after completing the task -fixed that Dexter didn't count towards the kill bosses achievement (saves were he is already dead will retroactively get the kill counted) - faster animation for Crawler -fixed that the combat info overlay was not visible in one of the desert scenarios -fixed that the combatant slots weren't interactable with the mouse in the crashed plane sceneario at night -betraying or covering Jamal now counts towards good or bad deed achievement respectively (also retroactively for existing saves) -fixed sarah quest could get stuck when she died in the fight just before finding her friend -fixed an issue with the dialogue on the Army bridge when Abraham is in the party if you try to go back after selecting the bribe option -fixed that turret info showed "3x" attacks despite only having one hit frame per attack -changed the Army armor detection to work with any party member wearing it not just the player's character -added a fix for saves that are stuck in the mine dungeon due to another error that prevents the quest scripts from triggering and leaves the player with just one key for the door (sadly we haven't figured out the primary cause yet) -changed that lydia will give infos about terence right from the beginning of lanas task instead of having to talk to terence before -adjusted the hue of green colored gui labels to be more eye friendly -disabled some particle effects in bunker, hospital and prison scenario to check if it resolves the crashes some users are experiencing
Dear survivors,
Dead Age 2 is available on Early Access! Thanks for all the reports for Dead Age 2, we will work hard on it! If you want to support us please write a review because our goal shall be to have 70% positive reviews in steam to survive in our huge quest.
Today's patch will improve some weapons and also increase the weapon damage at the beginning of the survivors. There were problems before when the player attacks against higher level opponents.
Now you can do more damage with the assault rifle. It's still not a good idea to use the assault rifle on Heavy Armored Enemies (30 and more armor) so dont forget. But you get more damage for the amount of money and crafts.
Shotgun has also been improved. Damage has been increased by 10 in total and some skill damage values have been improved. So his damage against Heavy Armored Enemies is nice.
Bladed has also been improved. Blades get a little more damage so they can stand up to the blunt weapons. Damage has also been increased for some skills. Remember, however, that they are primarily intended for use against low-armored opponents.
Keep an eye on the tactics and give the different survivors different weapons. This is not only more fun but can be tactically better. And of course don't forget the support skills like hunters or technicians. The animals and turrets will thank you. :)
Here is today's Changelist
-fixed that the reason for the main character's death was only explained the first time you died per save slot but not the following ones
-fixed a bug where the subway or yacht fast travel could end up in a messed up state in which the travel not actually happen if an attack occured
-tryfix for a bug that caused assets with capital "I" in the name to be unable to load on OS with Turkish language
-fixed a crash when two rescue civilian side quests are located at the same spot (we still have to find out how they come choose the same spot in the first place)
-fixed that combat sprays didn't apply healing
-fixed a bug where the entrance event of locked locations (cave, mansion, shed) always stated that no tool was available despite having them
-fixed the cave entrance event stating you dont have "shovels" instead of "pickaxes"
-fixed a bug where an item crafted by a character could end up with two resistance stat modifiers
-reduced the amount of random encounters while traveling on the map
-possible fix for saves that where nathalie (military doctor) was saved from the shed but the quest could not progress because of the broken map point in earlier versions
-increased base damage of shotguns by 10
-adjusted damage values of several attack skills
Dear survivors,
The day has finally come: Dead Age 2 is NOW available on Steam Early Access!
Exactly four years and two days after the release of Dead Age, its successor is finally available! And we are really overjoyed that you are able to play Dead Age 2 for yourself now! It was a lot of fun and hard work to improve the gameplay of Dead Age and extend it with a bunch of new features.
Todays Early Access launch includes the first 27 days of the full game. In the coming months we will complete the game together with you and further optimize it - our Early Access Roadmap gives you an overview of the coming months:
But enough words now! We can't wait to see you all play Dead Age 2 after such a long time of developing the game - and we are really looking forward to your feedback! So, let us know your thoughts in the Dead Age 2 Discord channel or here in the Dead Age 2 Steam Community.
See you all at the zombie apocalypse!
All the best and stay healthy!

Dear survivors,
we are going to launch Dead Age 2 into Early Access TOMORROW! Can't wait to see you all play it after such a long time of developing the game - and we are really looking forward to your feedback!
Our Wishlist event will continue until the full launch later this year, but we will adapt it slightly. To ensure that the former wishes of buyers are not lost, we will sum up the current state of the Wishlist and the sold units at the full launch to a final number.
This will ensure that nobody gets lost.
See you all at the zombie apocalypse - starting TOMORROW! steamhappy
All the best and stay healthy!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/951430
Dear survivors,
We have good news about the Wishlist event today: We have reached 30,000 wishes! steamhappy Thanks to all of you the next feature was unlocked: 10 additional zombies in the combat.
With the additional zombies we can create even more variety in the different areas of Dead Age 2. Each zombie has several skills to make it difficult for the survivors. Some zombies can even infect the survivors when they are weakened.
The next feature that can be unlocked is "10 additional variid rogue-like events". Events are important to provide additional challenges while exploring the different areas. We already implemented many events but even more bring additional variety.
As we keep the wishlist event active during the Early Access phase and sum up purchases and wishes during that time, there is a high chance that these additional events are unlocked as well.
But what exactly is the Wishlist event? With your wishes you can unlock new optional features. Just think of Kickstarter and you know how it works.
Dead Age 2 releases into Steam Early Access on 16 July 2020.
All the best and stay healthy!

Dear survivors,
We have good news about the Wishlist Event! What is the Wishlist Event? You can help to integrate new free features by wishlisting Dead Age 2! steamhappy
With your wishes we have the assurance that we can make these features happen. Just think of Kickstarter and you'll know how it works. Currently we are about to reach the 30,000 wishes mark to unlock the "10 new zombies" pledge.
We already have a lot more zombies in here than we had in Dead Age 1, but more enemies can never hurt (or I guess they can ). Only a few hundred votes left and you'll get the extra enemies and more variety in combat.
Meanwhile we are fighting bugs Starship Troopers style.
All the best and stay healthy!

Dear survivors,
There are so many new features which were also very interesting during development and how they came together in harmony. This is especially true for the survival elements.
The world map with over 80 different locations, for example, offers much more detailed possibilities of survival. But while you try to get water and food, you must also train yourself in combat at the same time. Theres a significant amount of new skills that are relevant in combat, also team play among party members has an important role. Overall, Dead Age 2 is more strategic.
[previewyoutube=DRVlFq1J7Uw;full][/previewyoutube]
The new 3D base gets the survival feeling across better. With the help of speech bubbles, you can also react to the problems of the survivors, e.g. if they have nothing to do, are offended or need food/water. Besides building or expanding the rooms in the camp, weapons and armor can be modified this time more specifically.
Furthermore, we have, of course, many new events and enemies which test the will to survive of Jack's Camp. We've been working for 3.5 years to improve the quality and vision of Dead Age 2 and hope the players like it as much as we do!
All the best and stay healthy!

Dear survivors,
Dead Age 1 brought something new to the indie market in 2016. It connected survival and rogue-like with storyline, perma-death and turn-based combat. We found it interesting that our "Final Fantasy 10"-esque turn-based combat system had perma-death and survival management, so that the risk was always there at all times for the survivors to bite the dust.
3.5 years later we arrived at Dead Age 2 with many, many new features. The combat system has become much more complex and strategic, but still retains the advantage of its speed over tactical role-playing games. We can definitely stand the comparison to Darkest Dungeon because of its new tactical options.
[previewyoutube=Pdcgivr4DdM;full][/previewyoutube]
The exploring and survival thrill has been greatly improved with a large map and over 80 locations, giving it a bit of an open world feeling while being very compact. The base remains the center, this time completely in 3D.
There are completely different fighting factions with whom you can trade or solve quests to reach their respective leaders. Dead Age 2 therefore feels much more like an RPG, e.g. with numerous quests and different consequences depending on the decision.
So, we've been working for 3.5 years to increase the quality and vision of Dead Age 2 and hope that players will like it as much as we do!
All the best and stay healthy!

Dear survivors,
Dead Age 1 had a very positive rating of 84%, but we wanted to find improvements for Dead Age 2 in as many gameplay aspects as possible. Today you'll get more information about the combat system.
The fighting system became much more complex and flexible. For example, you can perform a normal attack twice in one round and collect adrenaline points.
Front-row survivors can protect allies standing behind them in the ranged-attack-row, or you can choose a more complex skill like Brute Strike and use your increased adrenaline to deal higher damage.
You could also focus / recharge and use your strongest skills in the next round which do a lot of damage or are very effective against enemies with certain debuffs. Team play is very effective e.g. when a survivor uses the shotgun to shoot zombies unconscious and another survivor then does extra damage against unconscious enemies with their jump attack.
Of course, the enemies also have some nasty tricks. Instincts make sure that some zombies strengthen each other, hit each other to make themselves angry, bite to gather life energy or summon zombie hunters' undead animals. This time the zombies can even infect you with the Virus. So be careful!
In return you have new special skills: you can use mobile turrets, summon a dog or even later, if you find one, a hungry tiger.
What is more to say? Oh, we are really close to our next wishlist goal: With 30,000 wishes you will unlock 10 additional zombies to the world of Dead Age 2!

Dear survivors,
I want to give you more detailed information about the further development from Dead Age 1 to Dead Age 2 in this and the upcoming updates.
It is rare that indie titles get successors and even rarer that the successors are more successful than their predecessors. Often because predecessors and successors are too similar. That's why we can proudly say that we have added so many new ideas and features that will make Dead Age 2 a completely new experience! This update is all about technology.
Hi folks!
Good news: Our Wishlist Event for Dead Age 2 is showing further results!
During the last weekend we reached 20,000 wishes for Dead Age 2 and unlocked the additional animations for humans and zombies in combat! But not only those, also additional animations for jobs and atmosphere:
Our animator is heading to work to create and implement all the additional animations to the Dead Age 2. Thank you very, very much for wishlisting our game, for your ongoing support and also for your feedback. Everything is very much appreciated!
And what's next? With 30,000 wishes you will unlock 10 additional zombies to the world of Dead Age 2.
Meanwhile, be sure to join the other survivors on our Dead Age Discord channel!

Hi folks!
Dead Age 2 is around the corner and with this update I want to show you who is actually working on the game! I am Rayk Kerstan ("Holy Avatar" in the steam community and "Dawnclaude" on Discord), I am the CEO and Creative Director of Silent Dreams a small developer located in Mlheim an der Ruhr, Germany. My story - and also the story of Silent Dreams - actually began in a very classic indie way.
Together with the programmer of Gothic 1-3, Carsten Edenfeld, and a highly motivated team of boys and girls we developed Grotesque Tactics, Grotesque Tactics 2: Dungeons & Donuts plus Holy Avatar vs Maidens of the Dead. All three are parody roleplaying games that had their success, even if not everyone could handle with the weird humor.
Grotesque Tactics, Grotesque Tactics 2 & Holy Avatar
In 2016 we released Dead Age to Early Access on Steam and this Survival RPG became our biggest success! Over the years we ported it to all major platforms you guys are using to play on. As we love our zombie apocalyptic universe a lot that we created with the game, it was really about time to tell more stories of the Dead Age.
And that brought us to the decision to work on Dead Age 2! Another Survival RPG based on the strength of its predecessor, but with many cool new features and extensions. At this point, thanks again to our community for the many great suggestions and ideas - you guys are awesome! Currently I am spending many hours developing the fine tuning of Dead Age 2. Just doing this while you read those lines on Steam.
Dead Age (2016)
And all the other members of Silent Dreams are working very hard right now to launch Dead Age 2 to Steam Early Access in time. We will finally announce the release date at the end of this week! But back to the Silent Dream(s)-Team:
Matthias Eisenlohr is our lead programmer. He is fast, competent and always polite and kind. I hope we will work on the upcoming games from Silent Dreams for many, many years to come.
Our graphic designer is Adam Sprys [Twitter]. He became known through Knights & Merchants. A very successful strategy game, even though he unfortunately never saw much of the revenue himself... He is currently working on animations, particles and characters for Dead Age 2!
Beside these 3 central persons, we won an apprentice with Jason. A short fun fact: The new main character of Dead Age 2 is also named Jason. So, who was there first - the hen or the egg?
Dead Age 2 (2020)
Sven Gerlach [website] is our musician and will provide you all with a great soundtrack, which is even better and more extensive than in Dead Age 1. You will get a first taste of his work within this week with the first Dead Age 2 trailer. I promise!
And apart from that we have worked together with other graphic artists, among others Max Wittig and Kai Meinen, who are responsible for all outposts of the new factions: Smugglers, Independents and U.S. Army.
As you see, we are a small but fine team. We'll do our part to show why indie games have a special touch with ideas of their own that Triple A games would probably never create.

The animated portraits only need 1.000 more wishes and then they will be definitely implemented to the game! While there were no animated portraits in Dead Age, this is a completely new feature that breathes more life into the characters. Here you can see an example of the conversations in Dead Age 2:

Dear Survivors,
three years in the making and we are finally close to reach our goal: Dead Age is back with a vengeance!
Dead Age 2 is a unique combination of survival, management, Rogue-Like events, turn-based combat, classic role-playing game with tons of quests and a story in which your decisions directly effect plot progression!
Like we did with Dead Age in 2016 we will release Dead Age 2 in early 2020 to Steam Early Access. Why? Because we want to optimize the game within the last month of the development together with you guys because we want to offer you the best possible Dead Age experience!
And we've got more great news for you! You can improve Dead Age 2 even further with our Wishlist event. Wishlist the game and unlock more and more cool features and extensions for it by increasing the number of wishes. We keep you posted with updates when new goals have been reached!
See ya all at the zombie apocalypse!
Cheers!

More than 84% of people buying Dead Age gave positive review which makes us really happy. This patch addresses a point of critique many players made that melee attacks are more convenient in most cases, leaving ranged attacks a bit behind. Having more ammunition at hand should balance that and give you more options in combat.
- more ammunition can be found in the different areas
- the max stack amount of every ammunition type has been increased
- thus more ammunition can be crafted which is recommended for players specializing on ranged attacks
- fixed: tooltip in combat showing incorrect values for melee and ranged damage for own combatants
- fixed: some minor mistakes in the localization and upgrades
In addition we want to announce that based on the huge success we are working on Dead Age 2. A Steam store page will be set up in the following months. Release is planned in 2019. In other news we are preparing Dead Age 1 for release on Xbox One. More news on that topic are coming soon.
Thanks for the great translation work by the Ukrainian team at Steam Translation Server (STS-UA).
We support 8 languages by now.
Meanwhile Silent Dreams is working on a new survival game. If you want to bring in ideas, criticism or suggestions you can inside this thread:
http://steamcommunity.com/app/363930/discussions/0/144512526677659266/
Additionally we have some smaller fixes for you:
- removed faulty drag n drop between medical inventory and shop page because it caused bugs and crashes
- tryfix: crash when image gets disabled after dialogue
- fixed weird behaviour in health point display while upgrading medic skill

Greetings Survivors,
today we have a new languages update. The russian fan translation is finished. Many thanks to Golden Pen Studios. https://www.golden-pen-studio.com
Spanish and French translation were also completed. Thanks to Rodrigo Gomez Poviña for Spanish and Raphaël Minazzo for French.
However both languages are still in BETA mode, so players can activate it but pls if you see any spelling erros don't hesitate to go in our Steam forum to post the problems:
http://steamcommunity.com/app/363930/discussions/0/
All were very nice people and its great to have such a support in the Steam community for indie developers.
Here is the list of changes. They were made in the last couple of weeks for the final version 1.5
Bugfixes
- added: option menu button in the main game menu
- added: "no quests avaible" text to bar screen when no quests are available ;)
- important fix for Ambulance, Car und MilitaryLKW Events. They used the wrong attribute (survival) now they use the level of "cunning" skill correctly.
- tryfix for customers who couldn't see any gui elements on the start screen
- fixed a bug with Dexter and the boss loot
- fix for spending skillpoints together with switching partymembers sometimes caused a problem with scripted events or in combat
- fixed a bug for Bill Quest 2 (and possibly other) where he was dead but the quest still activated
- fixed earning no medals for the 6 endings
Balancing
- Boss loot got improved. Now you get only high quality gear, weapons or tools randomly. For the boss in the wood you can also get some larger food rations. We removed ammunition, medic, upgrade and syringe loot there
- balanced family helping achievements to only need 2 and 4 acceptions respectively
- healing now costs 2 AP because it was possible to spam the skill with several chars.
- when Liz or Jamal join your camp in the later stages of the game they now will be stronger to match the general character level progression
Greetings Survivors, several bugfixes were made in the last couple of weeks. Thanks to the community for the bug reports that help the game becoming close to bugfree.
Here is a summary:
- fixed end of the game not triggering when you didn't reached the desert with the sheriff
- fixed "days remaining" and "reward" texts sometimes overlapping in prefight
- fixed scavenger camp events with experienced guards
- fixed NPC dialogues spoken by wrong person
- fixed engineer tooltipp for bear trap (120 % damage instead 100%)
- fixed Dating Quest
- fixed Inventory Item Overlapping Bug
- fixed Wolf Skill
- fixed Sorting Layout
- tryfix for a rare ammo crash
- fixed Liz Weapon Event in Combat
- fixed crafting with members currently in the party didn't actually assign the job
- fixed some button highlighting
- fixed Bill Quest 1 / 2
- fixed Larissa Quest 2 resulting dialogues when she died during quest
- fixed Larissa / Sharon normal map
- when you sell an item from inventory the scroll view now stays in place
- fixed an issue with fast enemies and KO animation transition
- fixed an issue with die animation from zombies in KO state
New feature:
Casual mode: In casual mode, the health and power of opponents is significantly smaller. Ideal for casual survival sessions. You should still keep an eye on your resources and companions, as these are still as important and difficult as in normal survival mode. Use upgrades if you die to give you a cumulative advantage in following playthroughs.
Bugfixes:
-fixed isses with full medical inventory
-the character class soldier had some wrong attributes set in the survival and shotgun talents
-fixed an issue with jamal quest 2
-fixed an issue with dexter quest in desert level
-fixed XML-Error popping up on linux when game language is german
-fixed merchant taking the materials even when purchase failed due to full medical inventory
-fixed some polish localization and added polish localization for the steam achievements
New Features:
- several enemies have now immunity against KO and stun effects - to force different tactics
- Immunity Buff is now shown in combat and it will show an indication text if it prevented you stun attempt
- "uneffective" text is showing when you use the wrong tactic against high defence or high resistance enemies. We improved that to make it easier to understand that the skills are not weak, but only wrong against the current enemy. We hope that will push our engineer Skills as the best alternative against high defence and low resistance xD

- improved Merchant quest not identifying the required item if you already owned it when the quest starts
- fixed Crafting achievement not shown in steam
New Features - we increased the speed of combat animations a bit. We wanted a compromise of a bit faster animation and realistic behavior and we think you will like it more now. Bugs - fixed burning / poison damage against unconscious targets being ignored - fixed threads of punks and undead not reduced before next day after quest success - you still had to protect your camp with guards - text correction in the german tutorial - attack button isn't highlighted anymore after the tutorial is finished - fixed crafting of some medical items created wrong item - we fixed a bug with random survivor events. sometimes the game bugged out and dialogues did not show up anymore - we have a tryfix for a bug where you have always to fight the same enemies again and again until area 10.

Pls Copy paste the crash message and email us and tell what you did just before the game crashed. contact@silentdreams.de With more information we can fix the bugs more easily.

Attention, survivors!
We are currently developing the second half of the game, which will become available and fully playable in update 3, scheduled for September. We are actively coming up with new surprises and dangers for you to face. After all, you can't call yourself a survivor if there was nothing to survive. ;)
To tide you over while you wait, we released a smaller content update with several new events:
New Content:
- A new encounter event presenting a young couple fighting for their lives on the highway. Random survivor encounters do have one thing in common: They tend to die quickly. Can you keep them both alive?
- A new encounter event involving a police vehicle teetering precariously at the edge of a bridge. If someone in your group is strong enough to save it, there may be valuable loot inside.
- A new encounter event in which you find a locked house alone in the woods. It has not yet been scavenged and may yield desperately needed materials. But, careful. Scavengers have discovered the house, as well.

Balancing - better loot in wave combat, more tools for example, better gear / snacks / medkits / Weapons / Ammunition - you get better loot at night in wave combat - reduce experience mostly for low level undead enemies, levelup was too fast. So in the other hand you get more experience against enemies in area 11-20 and humans. A tactic could be to levelup faster in the later areas. - you can now find 3-5 ammunition at day sometimes and 5-7 ammunition parts at night. To give you more reasons to skill more range attacks - some new zombie parties in the woods -adjusted crafting costs of upgrade kits Bugfixing - fixed Mary Quest crash - fixed being able to collect more medical items than allowed - added notification when try to collect medical items while no space in inventory - fixed time limit not displayed for mary quest 2 - fixed some job skill tooltipps - fixed graphical glitches with resource numbers in crafting list while scrolling
Balancing: -The player now starts with a full magazine for the pistol in order to make it more useful in the beginning of the game, especially for the quests at night. -There will now always be a warning in the daily briefings if scavangers are possible as enemies. (because they're more dangerous than zombies) -The system regarding defense and resistance has been optimized to enable more strategic varation during combat. Enemies now have none (0%), light (30%) or heavy (50%) defense/resistance. Pay attention to the tooltips for enemies. The breakthrough skill will be most effective against high defense enemies and basicly wasted against no-defense enemies. Ranged weapons may be useful against light-defense enemies as well as engineer skills. -Cheerleaders, Undead Prisoners, Sears Suckers, wolfes and several punks got their HP increased. You have to go for new strategies to be effective. Breakthrough has become less useful against them. -Zombie Police Officer and Undead Soldier got increased blocking chance and critical strike chance. -Human enemies got increased health depending on their class. -Eliminator and Smoke Bomb skill now take 2 AP again, they were too poweful otherwise. They should be used more strategically now. -The pistol skill Leg Shot now reduces initiative even more to have stronger impact on block chances. Useful against fast enemies. -The high tier skill Stunning Volley now has an increased buff chance of 75% -The high tier skill Agonizing Execution got its damage lowered to 225% -Resistance has been reduced in many cases to make engineer skills (which takes ammunition) more powerful in comparison to melee attacks. This does not apply against high-resistance enemies. They take a different strategy to overcome. Nail Traps can reduce resistance too by the way. -Wolfes and Ragers have become even faster and will block even more attacks. Again, there are effective ways to defeat them. -Chilling Howl now reduces strength and not perception. -The random civilian survivors you may encounter now have slighlty more health. It will still be very tough for them in combat. Bugfixes: -Pressure Points skill now deals correct damage against stunned enemies -fixed Mary crashes -fixed a few other crashes -fixed larissa 2 Quest crash -corrected crafting tooltipps -fixed enemy party disapearing when game over screen shows up -fixed animation change priorities for allied characters (death while stunned) -security sentence in lydia 1 quest during the map -Underhanded Searsucker can't use his skill during stunned and ko.
Hey Survivors, our Community showed us a few bugs and we fixed it asap. - fixed block chance calculation based on initiative before buffs were applied (thank you @ walkallthetime) - fixed Jamal double, (thank you @sandmanzero2013) - fixed tooltip showing wrong healing effect percentage in medkit crafting recipe (thank you @sharzul) - fixed AP not being increased when next wave starts (thank you @Qwert2401) - fixed Jennifer quest with a bad ending (semidivine thx @ HolyAvatar ;)) - fixed small issues with the character selection of trainer camp event - fixed some loot drops at highway day (weapon and gear crafting)
Hi Survivors, another update with a few bugfixes and important balancing Bugfixes - fixed crash when a character-attached particle or sound effect was played outside of combat - fixed survivivor models may not get deleted after survivor event - fixed charakter choices for lake event have wrong order - fixed some incorrect skill tooltipps Balancing - a lot of the skills level 5- 10 have less AP now. You can use them earlier in combat. (because of community feedback ;)) - some skills changed a bit in the power because of less AP - engineer traps are stronger now (trap damage vs resistance, engineer skills ignore armor, so if you use engineer skills against ragers with huge resistance it's not a good idea, so check the enemy tooltipps ;)) - smoke bomb explodes 1 round earlier. check it out, it's a mighty skill. Hint: you can combine smoke bomb with other skills after stun effect. In other words: you should try the improved engineer skills. ;) You can always give us feedback in the community. Have fun!
