[h2]Exciting News from Shotx: The Dead Await Open-World RPG Launch Nears![/h2]



Get ready for an immersive zombie apocalypse experience as the release date gets closer. The Dead Await is a deck-building open world survival RPG set in a zombie apocalypse. The world as we know it ended, torn apart by hordes of ravenous monsters. Humanity still clings on in the sea of blackened ruins, cold ashes, and man-eating creatures.

You're the leader of a caravan of survivalists whose goal is to figure out the truth behind the zombie apocalypse and, if possible, build the foundations for a new civilization! But be careful: Zombies might want to feast on your brains, but humans may very well prove the greatest obstacles during your long drive...

Next Stop - Free DLC available now!

Here comes the next update, a free DLC that I really hope was worth the wait. "Next Stop" adds a new unique path stop as you might have guessed, and It's all about luck.

Will you make a fortune? or... you know, just leave empty handed? Only one way to find out. Grab the DLC, visit Mr. Honest, and spin that Baraban, now.



Good luck!

Once again, thanks for the amazing feedback and all the support!

Meet Jazoo

Jazoo has arrived in the jungles, bringing new unique guns and items that can be unlocked in exchange for gems.



If you need a little extra hand, be sure to grab all the passive items. Once unlocked, they will be active for all future runs.

Next up will be a free DLC adding a new path stop. More details will be announced soon, meanwhile I hope you enjoy the new content.

Thanks for the support!

Cursed Chests & New Items!

Update 1.3.0 is now live and with it comes a new type of chests - Cursed Chests! These chests will spawn randomly once in each area and opening them requires, yes you guessed it, a sacrifice of HP. The amount needed to sacrifice will depend on the area you're currently in. As for the reward, you may get a +1 tier gun and an item.



And that's not all... 7 new items have been added, shop prices were rebalanced, and some reported bugs were addressed.

Once again thanks for your awesome support!

Gems & Bombus!

It's time for another update! Update 1.2.0 introduces a new friendly NPC and a type of shop that allows you to permanently unlock unique guns and items. You'll probably notice that you can't buy anything with crystals in this shop. Instead, the shiny new gems are used as a currency. The good news is that there are cauldrons that can be used to convert crystals into gems, and you also get to keep all your gems even if you die.



Some might think that Bombus is one of the Bombos in disguise, but that's totally not true at all.

In other news, all the reported bugs have been fixed so far, and a new option to show/hide silhouettes has been added that can be enabled to further increase FPS.

Vending Machines!

That's right. Update 1.1.0 introduces medkit and ammo vending machines. In each level, based on random, a vending machine of either medkit or ammo will be available with up to 2 uses per level. The cost will increase each time you use these vending machines as well as when you reach a new area, so plan wisely.



A new gun has been added - Toxic Sniper Rifle, a powerful elemental sniper rifle that is pretty fast and deals a lot of damage. Check out the stats on Danger Gazers Wiki.

Also, you'll probably notice a lot of new enemy sound effects that have been added to improve audio feedback, and for those who had to deal with low FPS: some major performance improvement tweaks were done.

A new type of chest (epic chest) is one of the three rewards you might end up getting in one of these caves, considering you avoid all the new traps and dangers.

Introducing Rotten Elder & Gold Cards!

Here's a huge content update, bringing you a new path stop, 7 unique gold cards, improved randomization and improvements to the overall game play.

Let's start with the gold cards. These are hero stat improvement cards that are scattered across the levels and path stops. There are 7 unique cards in total that improve the following skills: gun damage, fire rate, bullet speed, accuracy, maximum hp, maximum ammo capacity and special recharge rate. Gold cards are stackable up to 9x and with each new card the reward increases. There are no negative effects related to these cards and they aren't permanent either, that means with each new run you start with no cards equipped.



Next in line, we got a tricky new path stop - Rotten Elder. A path stop that requires sacrifice of your HP. You've got 2 options... to run away and lose some of your hard earned crystals, or to accept her offer of a random gold card, but lose 50% of your HP. Neither is always the right choice, so think twice before you act.

You might notice some other improvements to the overall game play too, such as better randomization when generating levels, some balance tweaks and less bugs.

Thank you for your patience and have fun!

• Added a new path stop - Rotten Elder.
  
• Game over screen also shows companions and gold cards now.
  
• Added 7 unique gold cards.
  
• Improved randomization.
  
• Decreased revolver fire rate delay from 40 to 32.
  
• Decreased legendary pistol fire rate delay from 36 to 30.
  
• Fixed minor bugs.
  

Hotfix & Wiki

Back with hotfix 0.8.9.5, this update fixes a number of important bugs.

In other news, Danger Gazers official wiki is up now. Some parts of the wiki and articles are missing the content for now and will be updated along with the game.

Introducing shop sales & increases, packing up timer, new options and more!

Update 0.8.9.4 is live, bringing you some important changes and new features. Entering shops, you'll notice that a random one of the items will be on sale (up to 50% off) and one, the other way around with an increase on price.

This update also introduces a much needed change to the way you leave the caravan zone. A packing up timer will show up each time you enter the zone, giving you enough time to change your mind or collect some left items. The caravan zone will also repel all the pickups to the safe zone.

Game settings have been tweaked and there's always an option now to restore to the defaults, in case you mess up. Also, added a few new options such as mouse lock and co-op player indicators.. and finally, a lot of BUG FIXES!

A Risky But Rewarding Path Stop

Here's a little news snippet, while you all wait for the next update. All the gold cards are now complete and ready to be imported into the game.

What you see above is the concept art of the Rotten Elder. Don't be scared of the name though or the looks, it's just how the locals refer to this new path stop.

Share your thoughts, questions if you need to or anything else you might be interested in.

Once more, thanks for all the patience

DEATH x CUBE x SERPENT x PANTHER x METEOR

Does it mean that the end is near? Not really.

Got some good news and bad news. Bad news is that it's been over 2 months without an update and you might've been aware of that fact. Good news is that I'm finally back now from an unexpected vacation and feeling healthier than ever with plans to keep Danger Gazers updated for a long, long time.

Gold Cards & Rotten Elder

Coming soon in the next update are cards that boost certain hero stats, such as gun damage, fire rate, bullet speed and max HP. Gold cards are stackable unlike items, and for now one of the ways to collect 'em will be by hitting a new path stop Rotten Elder.

The elder requires many different sacrifices to be made in order to get your hands on these cards. Two options are always present on this stop, a choice to recede and a choice to follow the elder.

Community & Feedback

I've been reading your feedback, suggestions, bug reports and ideas. I feel honestly happy about it. My to-do list is entirely full and over jammed for now, which's really good.

Also, you should all check out this amazing no-hands player from Minsk, Belarus.
