Welcome. This is the roadmap for the final phase of the Death Trash Early Access. We have avoided communicating concrete dates in the past. Working as a small team on a complicated game has been notoriously difficult, especially in regards to timely estimations. The Early Access took longer than we initially anticipated. For that we are sorry. But during the Early Access we have improved the game and, equally important, our tools, workflows and knowledge. We are more confident now about handling the rest of the game and what time well need for that. Note: These dates might still change. If one of the milestones takes longer than anticipated, all the later dates will be influenced by that, too, of course. And at the end of the day we won't call it final (1.0) if we are not happy with the state of the game and will instead put more work in. But the important thing here is, I hope, to see and to know that the end is actually in sight.
Milestones
Steam Input implementation
Current target: soon on the beta branch
The Perished City
Current target: mid-2024 on the beta branch New locations and quests.
Improving item economy
Current target: fall 2024 This is about the range of items available in the game, inventory size, item balancing etc.
Northern Wasteland
Current target: end of 2024 New locations and quests.
Improving existing locations and gameplay
Current target: spring to mid 2025 This is in general about adding more depth to the game, both to the narrative parts as well as to the gameplay.
The Machine and the Watcher
Current target: mid- to late 2025 Final locations and quests.
Full release
Current target: mid- to late 2025
Post release
We will continue to support the game, of course. And as this game is very dear to us, this will probably happen for a long time. We havent decided yet if the next project after this will be more directly connected to Death Trash or be a different take.
Console versions
Current target: end of 2025 We have no final decision on whether we follow through with publishing these ourselves or partnering up for that. Xbox, Playstation and Nintendo Switch versions are playable already but need more work.
Localization
Current target: unknown We still don't know how much budget we'll have for additional languages. Production-wise it might make sense to have the localization added later than the 1.0 release so they can be done from a finished game instead of a still changing one. (If we had more experience we might try to have it all ready at once for the 1.0 release, but since our experience and resources are limited, we might rather approach this step by step.)
Level Editor
Current target: unknown Mainly intended for users to create their own standalone adventures with the Death Trash gameplay and art assets. We might extend the functionality later on.
Extended mind item gameplay
Current target: might not happen We have more gameplay ideas for Death Trash. But, realistically, we cant tackle all of them and have to shelve some of them for later. Enhancing the gameplay around the mind items might be one of these cases. We will revisit these ideas in the future.
Thank you
Thank you so much for your feedback and support so far. Death Trash has already become a much better game during Early Access and we couldnt have done that without you. - Stephan

Death Trash Linux + SteamOS [811.57 M]
Gameplay
Death Trash is a semi open world singleplayer role-playing game with handcrafted levels, a grotesque story campaign and optional splitscreen co-op.
The game features realtime gameplay with ranged and melee combat, stealth, multiple choice dialogue, an inventory full of items and Fleshworms, a crafting system and social skills like pickpocketing and puking.
Travel through the gritty post-apocalyptic wasteland by world map and explore hand-painted organic locations. Meet exciting characters: Talk to the Fleshkraken, visit the Puke Bar or pickpocket stuff from that old naked guy.
Customize your own character through stats and making choices. Experience the story and discover side quests. Fight against machines and larger-than-life monsters - or become their friend.
The game contains many features supporting player freedom:
- manual save games
- dialogue can be left anytime
- kill everyone or...
- hardly kill anyone!
Singleplayer / Multiplayer
The main feature of Death Trash is the immersive singleplayer campaign.
But the game contains an optional splitscreen co-op mode:
- Second player can drop in and drop out anytime during the campaign
- Second player has their own character, stats, inventory etc. but shared quest progress
- Both players are restricted to the same location, but can explore that separately
- Both players can talk to NPCs separately
- Movement on the world map is shared
Please understand that we have, at this point, no resources to also add networking code to the game.
Story
Humans traveled to the stars and some of them settled on the planet Nexus with its ancient secrets of stone and flesh. The machines were installed as protectors, but they were corrupted and brought terror.
You are a raider among the ruins of the past.
But fate might lead you to the Bleeding Head Oracle, the Evergrowing Heart and towards a war with the machines, giving you the power to mend or destroy.
