Hi survivors, It's been a while, but we've just released a new update for Deadly Days! Just in time for Steam Scream Fest. Read to the end to find out more news about the Deadly Days universe. In the classic Deadly Days you will now meet the Hoarder character from Deadly Days: Roadtrip (there we call him "Survivor") and may notice some minor improvements to the game. Details in the patchnotes below.

Changes in Update 1.7

• Added: Hoarder character (+1 free item slot on lvl 5, +1 on lvl 10 -- doesn't "consume" buyable slots, so in total 2 more slots are possible when playing with this character)
• Improved: Healing logic now prefers character with most missing health, relative to max health
• Improved: Game pauses now when controller is disconnected
• Fixed: Performance drops when generating game over screen
• Fixed: Rare edge case where survivor mission house wouldn't spawn if map really small
• Fixed: Edge case where failing by starving would show broken game over screen
• Fixed: Sometimes workshop crafting screen could be opened while loading screen still active.
• Fixed: Turkish systems showed "tofu" characters when i characters were used in text
• Fixed: Medic heal description was in %, but is supposed to be absolute
• Fixed: Toxic sludge weapon upgrade didn't scale with 300%, like writtein in description
• Fixed "Planning room" leveling up did trigger when entering bus; now triggers in base (and thus e.g. treasure hunter drops its item in base)

Hi survivors, today we release another hotfix which solves an issue where you can't get past the Pixelsplit intro due to a broken savegame (caused by a crash). This one is important for a handful of players. In some really rare cases savegames could be corrupted and are unrecoverable. If this is the case for you, maybe drop us a message with infos about your savegame and we might be able to manually replace it for you. Now we added a resilient backup mechanism which restores your last savegame in case of an unexpected crash which lead to a corrupted save. So everyone should be save in the future. Thanks to everyone who contributed information regarding this bug. Our Discord Server is always open for discussion, bug reports and your feedback ( https://discord.gg/4KCf5zt ). Or just use the STEAM discussions. Have a nice apocalypse :) - Your Pixelsplit team

The new Meta Progression System

Rebalancing

New event card

Dear survivors, there's something for all brave adventurers today. As you may have noticed, we've been working on a completely new version of "Deadly Days" for a long time. We think the latest version (Pre-Alpha) is now playable, many new mechanics are included and filled with content. If you dare, switch to the "alpha" branch in the Steam Client. We ask you to send us your ideas, suggestions and of course bug reports (in the comments or in Discord (https://discord.gg/4KCf5zt)). The game will have bugs, maybe even many. Also many graphics are still missing or old and the content is of course not complete. But we think that some of you might have some fun anyway! Oh, one more important point: There is no tutorial yet! Therefore possibly a few hints. Otherwise if you have questions, we are there for you on Discord (https://discord.gg/4KCf5zt). Here the hints: - You can loot the houses above which a treasure chest is displayed (just click on the front of the house, then a survivor will run there). - There is a crate on every map, you can loot it by clicking on it (like houses). - In the base you can see on the left side "Special Powers", which you can find in the game (red beam) - In the base you can see the slots for your items at the bottom of the screen. These replace and extend the upgrades of the old version. Items can be found in the game (green ray) - On the right side you can see your survivors. Click on one of them and you can assign new weapons to them if you have found any. But you have to repair the weapons first! Just to be sure it is heard we'll repeat it: Please be aware it is Pre-Alpha, it will be buggy, it is not complete, but it should be fun! Let's go! - Your Deadly Days Team

Hi survivors, today another dev story at the campfire. In the process of changing the game significantly (see our other posts) we are also changing the weapon system. Today we want to explain how this system will look in the future, but let’s start with what was wrong in the previous system.

What was wrong in the previous system?

How does the new system work?

Different weapon rarities and modifiers

What is coming next?

In the next posts we’ll talk about:
• New ability and special power system
• New item system (which replaces base upgrades)
• Map generation and selection

Hi survivors, we just wanted to share with you some details of the ongoing development process of “Deadly Days”. We know the last patch has been a while but like mentioned in the last “Campfire stories” its due to major changes. What does that mean? There are so many changes that you could name it “Deadly Days 2” (but we won’t ;) ). We were quite vague about the specific changes last time since we were evaluating several approaches, but today we want to tell you more more about concrete plans.

Goals and progression

Unlockable loot

Where to find loot?

Random map generation V2

Upcoming

• the new special power and completely new energy system
• the new random weapon system
• choosing different maps and events

Hi survivors, today we release the 8th patch for Deadly Days. This patch is some sort of milestone since it will be the last patch before the beginning of the upcoming major changes (see here). So here is what we changed in version 0.9.12.

GORE

No more ability tokens

Improved special zombies

• The Marathon Zombie now runs slower, but when it gets close to a survivor he will start running really fast.
• The emitted gas cloud of the Gas Zombie now poisons your survivors instead of continually applying damage to survivors inside. The poison lasts until you heal them or night arrives.

Improved AI of survivors

Upgraded to Unity 2018.1

Other changes

• Balancing: Weapons now have doubled ammunition (but also cost more). Your decision which weapon to provide should have more of an impact now.
• Fixed: Memory leak when using airstrikes.
• Fixed: Survivors targeting far away enemies if using “Enemy Focus”.
• Fixed: Wrong localization for last special task tutorial.
• Fixed: Main Menu zombies' walking direction and order.
• Fixed: Double language entries in the language selection drop down.

Hi survivors, it has been a while since our last update so we want to share some of our development progress. Firstly, be assured that we are working on steadily improving Deadly Days. Here is an overview of the major changes.

Random map generation

New art style

Changing the flow

Overhauling character AI

Changing the weapon system

Much more...

Hi survivors, today we release our next patch with some new features and several bug fixes.

Leader tactic

Target indicators

• Improved: You can now zoom out more (thus seeing more from the whole map)
• Improved: Dropping weapons check if loot is beneath (so no more weapon drops on scrap / parts).
• Improved: We increased the range of the sounds so you can hear them even with high zoom out.
• Improved: Improved accuracy of prioritize enemy and back to base ability (now the entity nearest to your click gets the effect, instead of a random one).
• Balance: Kills caused by the level up blast no longer give experience to the character.
• Fixed: The camera can’t be moved via keyboard anymore when locked to base
• Fixed: Several sprite overlays were now correctly aligned to the map (Map freeze, flash and nuke)

Survivors, we just released the next major patch.

Special tasks

Shadows

Fast forward

Other changes

• Added: In-game option to switch to windowed mode

• Improved: Buttons to buy tokens are "holdable" now so you can quickly buy a ton of tokens.
• Improved: The reward screen directly skips to the summary if there is just one reward in the reward bundle.
• Removed: Slot machine.
• Fixed: Camera scrolling speed by mouse behaves correctly now

Hi survivors, unfortunately we had a little issue with our Mac build that could lead to a crash on start. We fixed it and the update is available now. We apologize for the inconvenience. - Your Deadly Days Team

Hi survivors, today we release another minor patch with some improvements for input and an important bug fix.

Changes

• Displaying commit number in main menu (so we can track down problems to specific snapshots of the project)
• Upgraded to Unity Engine 2017.3 (from 2017.1)

Hi survivors, today we just release a minor patch, but be assured that we have big changes on our roadmap but we still need some planning for that.

Changes

• Added: Information about abilities are now also displayed when you hover over the respective toggles.
• Re-balanced: Medikit Drop now costs the same as single survivor healing but is a bit weaker. Use it to cover areas where you don't constantly have an eye on.
• Re-balanced: We reduced the cost for RPG. It costs the same as sniper now. Especially useful against bosses.
• Re-balanced: Double the drop rate of crowbars.
• Re-balanced: The truck from the convoy event got a small heal boost at the beginning so you have time to defend it.
• Fixed: Keyboard controls can't activate locked abilities anymore.

Hello survivors, a week has passed and we have not been idle. The new version 0.9.7e is now available. We've made major changes to the game, triggered by feedback and Lets Plays.

We have now taken the first steps to resolve these problems.

Zombies, we need more zombies.

New special abilities
