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! Silent Dreams Team

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/16438/Dead_Age_12_Bundle/ 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...

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/16438/Dead_Age_12_Bundle/ Greetings survivors! It's summertime and we have another Dead Age sale with Dead Age 2 Steam Deck Support. (we made some small fixes) Steamdevsite: New is also our site with all Silent Dreams GAMES. Holy Avatar vs. Maidens of the Dead, for example, is a nice short parody RPG and GT2 is our only RPG with full english voices please press the follow button, then you get a message after releasing our new RPGs or Demos in the next years (demo from Dead Age: Survivors will come next year) https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45118446-Silent-Dreams-Games 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 don't get impatient summer 2025 a demo. Dead Age Survivors should be released in 2026. Please add it to your wishlist and support us Indie RPG Devs & Gamers https://store.steampowered.com/app/2117160/Dead_Age_Survivors/ But it actually has some advantages in that I have more time for the latest Dead Age, because time limits are always crap for game development.

• I have more time for quests and events, can tell a really cool story of blackmail, kidnapping and faction fights, where the zombies of course also have an important role.
• I have time for new quests, a new faction "The Lost Ones" and events that weren't even planned!
• The combat needs some improvements and we want to get that under control and have cool (small) teams of about 10 people compete against each other to conquer or defend territories. But the troop combat still has to be realized.
• I play the version all the time, so the version will have only a few bugs once we go into Early Access
• We will start a Kickstarter campaign before Early Access, we will then use this money to bridge the development time until release. Maybe we'll also get a few extra features, e.g. a little voice overs. ;-).

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/16438/Dead_Age_12_Bundle/ Greetings survivors! It's summertime and we have a Dead Age 2 update for the Italian language + a regular Engine update, if you need it later. 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 a bad but also a very good message for new Dead Age: Survivors.

First of all, the bad news. Silent Dreams went bankrupt after 18 years and 6 released RPGs due to financial problems and most of the people had to look for new jobs. It was a horror time for me (with 4 diseases at the same time!) because Silent Dreams is my baby (like the captain and his ship ;-)) but in the end it wasn't that bad. A real life indie story about hard times and ascent. I am now unemployed, but a real fighter. My soul is working like this: https://youtu.be/KpzfdkTuiC4?t=35 I'm now working full-time with Simone an Italian indie RPG developer and 3 part-time programmers and 1 artists (my best buddy Sandro who worked on Settlers, for example,) We work without money, but with a lot of passion, because after my horror time now comes the ascent!!! But it has to be clear that we are taking our time, because time stress is one of the worst problems in the dev business. Dead Age Survivors should be finished in 2026 and that has some advantages. + I have more time for quests and events, can tell a really cool story of blackmail, kidnapping and faction fights, where the zombies of course also have an important role. + I have time for new quests, a new faction "The Lost" and events that weren't even planned. This is supposed to be the best Dead Age! + I play the version all the time, so the version will have few bugs once we go into Early Access + We will start a Kickstarter campaign before Early Access, we will then use this money to bridge the development time until release. Now Kickstarter had better times, but I think we can convince fans, especially since there is no risk, we are doing this just before Early Access to launch Silent Dreams 2.0 + The combat needs some improvements and we want to get that under control and have cool (small) teams of about 10 people compete against each other to conquer or defend territories. But the troop combat still has to be realized.
Since I used to have a bigger team and had todo with lot of gamedesign and project management, I've spent the last few months learning how to script quests, which was previously done by a programmer. Here you can see what it looks like. In principle you will be overwhelmed with information at the beginning, but if you work your way from note to note, you will gradually understand how many possibilities our quest and event system has. 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! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2117160/Dead_Age_Survivors/ Happy Summerdays Rayk (Holy Avatar) & the (part-time ;-)) Silent Dreams Team

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/16438/Dead_Age_12_Bundle/ Greetings survivors! The year 2023 is coming to an end, the Christmas season has begun and we want to inform you about the progress of the next Dead Age RPG - Dead Age: Survivors. The Dead Age series is of course also in the Christmas sale. In case you missed part 1 or the lot improved Dead age 2. Please add it to your wishlist https://store.steampowered.com/app/2117160/Dead_Age_Survivors/ You can also meet us in Discord:
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 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! Happy Holidays Rayk & the Silent Dreams Team

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/16438/Dead_Age_12_Bundle/ Greetings survivors! 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. 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.

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/16438/Dead_Age_12_Bundle/ 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.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/951430/Dead_Age_2/ Dear Survivors & Dear Jasons,
Dead Age 2 is on sale at a deep discount the next few days. We have made some improvements based on customer feedback. If you have any problems with this Dead Age 2 update, please use the forum. https://steamcommunity.com/app/951430/discussions/1/

• NEW: We have fixed some errors in the English translation. Thanks to the community.
• NEW: Since we are currently implementing Dead Age 2 on Playstation 4 & 5 and Xbox X and Xbox S, we have improved the controller controls.
• NEW: We have slightly reduced the critical hit damage so that you are not too surprised when a strong monster hits your characters
• We have reduced the block chance of many zombies, especially in the later levels. So that you now have much better chances with one hit skills. However, there are still some specialists who are particularly good at blocking, here ranged attacks are recommended.
• The chance of some skills was increased e.g. Brute Strike, Nerve Strike and Shock grenade
• We increased the ranged combat chance from 75 to 80%. In the front row you have a 90% chance with a ranged weapon. (Remember that blocking only works against melee).
• We have reduced the zombie skill "Swift", so you can hit with a ranged weapon with 60% (before it was 40%), but still melee is recommended against fast zombies.
• We increased the level of enemies by 2 in later scenarios to compensate for the better hit chances.
• Questlog update missing doctor

• The next Dead Age will remain a role-playing game, but there will be more focus on strategy and some simulation.
• There are several bases you can control and much more rooms e.g. cooking, farm animals or wild animals in cages for the hunter or traps for the defense of the bases.
• You will be able to manage many survivors, which now have more attributes e.g. stress or motivation.
• Small but also big battles with up to 18 survivors against waves of zombies, this time in real time in the style of Dragon Age 1 or Pathfinder with a pause mode option. But we want to develop also a slow motion mode in the style of Fallout. This slow-motion skill can only be used infrequently, so the game feels faster overall. Only if you look at e.g. the tooltips of the opponents the game can be paused to have enough time to read which tactics or buffs the opponent has. The community has also suggested that we include a pause mode, However, this mode will be a bit easier than the slow motion mode.
• The focus on strategy is also reflected in the fact that you can conquer or defend areas. The clue is that up to 7 other factions can also conquer the territories, this can result in cool battles and sometimes an alliance with a faction is important to be able to exist at all on the battlefield. Besides, zombie hordes still want to have a say.
• We are also trying to improve the storyline. The focus should not only be on other factions, but also bring the companions more into the action. This will mean that story companions as in Dead Age 1 + 2 can not die forever, because otherwise you never know who is currently dead and who is still alive in the storyline.
• Nevertheless, the player can still die and also the numerous non-story characters. Workers or soldiers that you lead to your camps because of events or quests.
• But the game is divided into 3 chapters. When you finish a chapter, the player can start at the next chapter. So he does not have to repeat the whole story.
• It also has the advantage that I, as a designer, can make the game a bit harder later on, knowing that not so many "accidental" players will complain about having to repeat numerous hours ;)
• Important decisions and consequences are listed exactly this time, so you can see chapter by chapter which decisions you have made. If you are unhappy with a decision, you can repeat the chapter accordingly.

The next Dead Age At the moment we are finishing the prototype phase for the new Dead Age, we are still fine-tuning the prototype and we are also working on an implementation of Dead Age 2 for Playstation 4 & 5 and probably Xbox as well. 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.

• The next Dead Age will remain a role-playing game, but there will be more focus on strategy and some simulation.
• NEW small with up to 3 survivors but also big battles with up to 18 survivors against waves of enemies, this time in real time in the style of Dragon Age 1 or Pathfinder but with a few differences.

• There are several bases you can control and much more rooms e.g. cooking, farm animals or wild animals in cages for the hunter or traps for the defense of the bases.
• You will be able to manage dozens of survivors, which now have more attributes e.g. stress or motivation.
• The focus on strategy is also reflected in the fact that you can conquer or defend areas. The clue is that up to 7 other factions can also conquer the territories, this can result in cool battles and sometimes an alliance with a faction is important to be able to exist at all on the battlefield. Besides, zombie hordes still want to have a say.

The next Dead Age 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 a small list of what we're planning to include.

Planned Features
• The next Dead Age will remain a role-playing game, but there will be more focus on strategy and some simulation.
• There are several bases you can control and much more rooms e.g. cooking, farm animals or wild animals in cages for the hunter or traps for the defense of the bases.
• You will be able to manage many survivors, which now have more attributes e.g. stress or motivation.
• small but also big battles with up to 18 survivors against waves of zombies, this time in real time in the style of Dragon Age or Pathfinder. It is supposed to be faster overall. However, the view remains from the side. This means the characters perform their basic strikes in real time, but you can pause and think of tactics. At the same time, you can again handle many skills, which can also be upgraded in terms of level. More tactics for the opponents are planned, so that the player varies his tactics as much as possible. There should be help with speech bubbles of the party members to tactics, so that players who do not get along with a tactic immediately receive support.
• The focus on strategy is also reflected in the fact that you can conquer or defend areas. The clue is that up to 7 other factions can also conquer the territories, this can result in cool battles and sometimes an alliance with a faction is important to be able to exist at all on the battlefield. Besides, zombie hordes still want to have a say.
• We are also trying to improve the storyline. The focus should not only be on other factions, but also bring the companions more into the action. This will mean that story companions (as in Dead Age 1 + 2) can not die forever, because otherwise you never know who is currently dead and who is still alive.
• Nevertheless, the player can still die and also the numerous non-story characters. Workers or soldiers that you lead to your camps because of events or quests.
• But the game is divided into 3-4 chapters. When you finish a chapter, the player can start at the next chapter. So he does not have to repeat the whole story.
• It also has the advantage that I, as a designer, can make the game a bit harder later on, knowing that not so many "accidental" players will complain about having to repeat numerous hours ;)
• Important decisions and consequences are listed exactly this time, so you can see chapter by chapter which decisions you have made. If you are unhappy with a decision, you can repeat the chapter accordingly.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/951430/Dead_Age_2/ Dear Survivors & Dear Jasons,
Now we have finished our new feature for veterans. This new feature is a completely free update for all players. 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. ;) Don't forget our last big update. Here we have improved the higher skills. If you want to support us now, please write a review, so that we also survive on our huge quest.

Improvements
• added survival options for a new run

• fixed AP behaving not correctly when stunned
• fixed a typo in French localization
• fixed that using "Liquid Courage" skill would qualify as a "ranged" attack and therefore unnecessarily fail the arena master challenge random event

https://store.steampowered.com/app/951430/Dead_Age_2/ Dear Survivors & Dear Jasons,
In this update 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.

• speech bubbles in combat regarding knock back success will now only appear if the attack threw the target back without obstructions

Bugfixes

In this update 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.

In this latest version 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.

This is not an opinion of the masses, who rather talk about the opposite , but we want to give veterans some more options. 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: https://steamcommunity.com/app/951430/discussions/0/3104642254777784285/ 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.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/951430/Dead_Age_2/ 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 Have fun and stay healthy!

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/16438/Dead_Age_12_Bundle/ Dear Survivors, 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. ;)

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/16438/Dead_Age_12_Bundle/ 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.

• fixed that the game got stuck when a random encounter between two locations gave enough resources to cancel the penalty for active jobs with missing food/water

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/16438/Dead_Age_12_Bundle/ Dear Survivors, We are currently working on the last hours of the storyline. There are now some quests to implement, the opponents and of course some special enemies for you. In addition, there are some more secrets, new events in the south and many dialogs to implement. At the end we want to offer you something special. If you want to support us now, please write a review, so that we also survive on our huge quest.
Bugfixes

fixed that SSAO and shadow settings could be internally set to low while overall quality was set to "Fantastic" -fixed error logs occurring during the injured female soldier event and threat reducing quests on the map in some languages -fixed that the tooltip in the lower right corner on the map showed wrong/inaccurate threat levels -fixed NRE when trying to leave to main menu right when your party moves out of a combat scene -fixed crashes that could occur during the running civilians event when the sequence progressed without the player clicking through the dialogues -fixed that the behavior of the "back to main menu" button could be influenced by the "new run" button if that was used before -improved the search for scoutable locations via the comms station so the number of revealed points will more closely match the promised amount -fixed pinned quest panel not always updating to reflect updated quest states -fixed missing quest marker and location icon in Jimmy's quest when Abraham waits for pick up on a following day -fixed some of the new contextual speech bubbles during combat not appearing -changed that when still inside the camp the "back to base" button will not be displayed on the map

https://store.steampowered.com/app/951430/Dead_Age_2/ 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 made an engine update to possibly fix some problems that are related to internal graphics cards. Usually you need a Nvidia or AMD card with graphics memory to play the game. For the people who had problems, let me know in the forum or the comments if something has changed for the better. Dont forget the last big update which included the threat barometer.
If you want to support us, please write a review, so that we also survive on our huge quest. Balancing

• changed xp reward for crafting and camp jobs. the job tier you assign (eg gardener 1 - 3 or crafting a pistol of tier 1 - 3) will now determine the amount of xp rewarded (50 - 150)
• cooldowns for turret skills will now start ticking down only after the turret was destroyed. It was otherwise too strong compared to other skills

-updated Unity to 2019.4.16 (LTS) to hopefully get rid of some random crashes on integrated graphic cards -fixed that the tutorial was forced to be skipped as soon as one attempted to play it -fixed wrong positions for NPCs in travel event with helping bodyguards -fixed that random encounters while traveling appeared much less than intended -fixed that when multiple characters died because of the same reason Jack would talk about that cause multiple times -updated some localisations -updated credits to account for the Spanish - Spain localization's contribution -changed xp reward for crafting and camp jobs. the job tier you assign (eg gardener 1 - 3 or crafting a pistol of tier 1 - 3) will now determine the amount of xp rewarded (50 - 150) -added a second backup save "Backup#b" that is written to every other save point since the current backup could be corrupted just as the normal save if something went wrong (which is not really useful as a backup) -improved some melee skills of NPCs so they no longer warp back after hitting the enemy with their fist / kick attacks -fixed that the number hotkeys in combat were usable while a dialogue was playing which is inconsistent with the fact that mouse can't trigger any attacks during dialogues. this could lead to some broken situations in quests or tutorial sequences -adjusted the skip tutorial button behavior to only show skip by default if tutorial was finished once -changed quest markers on map to use a different font color when showing the pinned quest -fixed that the ammo crafting yield bonus for survival talent level 9 was not working -fixed some inconsistent values in the descriptions of talent levels -fixed a crash that occurred when going back to main menu when using a controller while the map is visible

Dear Survivors, Today we have a major update for you. 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!

Dear Survivors, 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. The calm before the storm means that there are still some bug fixes to be done this week. (see community forum) Next week there will be a big update regarding manual levelup, improved damage calculation for e.g. blades and assault rifles and a completely improved translation into Russian. Here is today's changelist: -fixed that important quest progressions could get stuck if you failed some side quests for the cantinas in City West or City East and no more quests were available. Now it will refill these quests if you haven't fulfilled the required number of side quests yet -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 the skills UI where switching the character would not ask to confirm the changes to the current char -fixed that changing clothes equipment of a character that is playing an animation in the camp could mess up the model's position -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!

• fixed that side quests Savior, Destroyer and Soldier didn't clean up their locations if they failed due to time limit and visiting these remaining locations could cause the game to crash

Dear Survivors, 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:

• fixed that after establishing your alliances in the final quest with Lydia you no longer can negotiate with the left over faction

• fixed a dialogue that occured at the end of Sarah's quest even when she was dead

• 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, 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 Best regards, Rayk (Holy Avatar in Steam Forum) & the Silent Dreams Team

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. Here is today's changelist -bringing the military doctor from the wounded doctor quest to city west now counts towards the good deed achievements. It will also count retroactively in existing saves -fixed that the "total destruction" quest could occur twice since we changed the spawn time of the quest. Saves with both versions active will continue with the newer one -fixed that the bunker location for mason's treasure quest could become broken when arriving there with 0 minutes left of the day -fixed that the mine dungeon quest line could become corrupted if the player left the game before completing the first encounter node in the mine, which gives the first letter.

Dear survivors, 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. 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

Currenty we still have to fix the bugs you reported. Thx for all the reports. We will work hard on it, if you want to support us pls write a review because our goal has to be 70% postive in steam to survive in our huge quest. Lots of reviews complain the too hard difficulty so we work on it. We decided to give all difficulties 100 hp for the survivors. Especially the beginning is very difficult and the 100 Hp should help you to survive some tricky situations. Also the level of the opponents from the start areas was slightly reduced. Additionally we have made the Ambush Events a bit easier, there is one less opponent attacking. Another point is the current Endquest in Early Access, we gave the player 6 days more here to have more rest. Please keep in mind that we will continue the story of Dead age 2 so this feature is not final. More patches will follow in the next days. It will definitely not be boring with us. :) Here is the changelist -changed that tutorial can now be skipped on first playthrough instead to be forced to play it -fixed the rescue nathalie quest getting stuck when leaving the quest spot instead of entering it immediately -fixed fernando's quest spot getting removed when entering it without fernando in party (saves in this state might work again now) -fixed that you could just skip the trapped chest from fernandos quest -added 100 bonus HP to all difficulty settings -fixed that the additional 100 HP were not persistent -final Early Access Quest get 6 more days -fixed a crash when the doctor from the side job mission died while inside the mine dungeon -fixed several crashes during combat, mainly in regards to counter attacks -fixed a bug were the Army armor could not be bought when Lana's task was completed and you gained the required reputation afterwards (saves in this state might work again now) -fixed a crash that could occure during the event where civilians run from a group of zombies -fixed that the sounds of thunder effects and several skill SFX (eg granades) were not affected by the sound effect volume setting -fixed a possible crash in the base when characters move to their job location

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:

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! Rayk & the Silent Dreams Team 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! Rayk & the Silent Dreams Team https://store.steampowered.com/app/951430

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! Rayk & the Silent Dreams Team https://store.steampowered.com/app/951430

Dear survivors, Unfortunately we have a slight delay to announce: Due to the necessary work adjustments during the COVID-19 lockdown which were necessary to keep everyone at good health, the current version of Dead Age 2 did not quite reach the technical quality standards that we have set and wanted to achieve for the Early Access Release on June 3rd we are close but simply not 100% there yet As we strive for the highest quality even for an Early Access release and as we feel we also owe this to you, the players, we mutually decided to postpone the Early Access to July 16, 2020 to secure the best possible game experience. We apologize to everyone who counted down the last couple of weeks. And please believe us: This decision was not easy for us. But striving for excellence, we humbly ask for your understanding in this matter. Thank you for your patience, and rest assured that we cant wait for you all to get your hands on what has been created over the last three years All the best and stay healthy! Rayk & the Silent Dreams Team https://store.steampowered.com/app/951430/Dead_Age_2/

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! Rayk & the Silent Dreams Team https://store.steampowered.com/app/951430

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! Rayk & the Silent Dreams Team https://store.steampowered.com/app/951430

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 again folks! As promised in our developer update yesterday we just released the Announcement Trailer for Dead Age 2 - including some fresh, post apocalyptic footage and a track from the brandnew soundtrack by Sven Gerlach! But enough words - let's just have the trailer speak for itself: [previewyoutube=KNpg7oLeK10;full][/previewyoutube] Oh, and in case that you don't notice it on the endslate of the trailer: We finally have a launch date for Dead Age 2! We will be released it into Steam Early Access on

June 3rd 2020

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.
