Ho ho ho? It was brought to my attention that one of the achievements didn't work. Why are any of you playing this game in summer? What's going on? Nevertheless, it was a quick fix and I also handled another recent request. Happy slaying, more coming in winter. Fixed 'Deck the ha
I want to start this patch note with an honest status update regarding the content update. On Christmas I announced that a new map would be coming very soon™ . I originally gave myself another month after Christmas to finish it, but by the end of January it still wasn’t ready. I
Merry Christmas everyone! In the discussion forums I have already mentioned that this year's update was in the works and the game has not been abandoned yet. I had intended to drop the update before the holidays but there have been a few delays. I am committed though to deliver i
Ho ho ho. This one is rather short, but I wanted to push it live before I'm off over the weekend, so all of you can try to get this one. Fixed "That's how I roll" achievement reconnected to Steam API
The last build had a small hiccup that caused the game to freeze when upgrading for the second time when no gamepad was connected. This issue has now been resolved. Fixed Added a check to verify if a gamepad is connected before attempting to detect input from it, preventing freez
The last build unfortunately shipped with an error that crashed the game when completing a run successfully. Many apologies for any inconveniences this may have caused! Fixed Removed an outdated scene reference that was causing crashes at the end of a run Added a fallback for the
Just upfront: this is not this year's content update. More on that later. For this update I focused mainly on bug fixes, improvements and adding a few new features, such as FULL CONTROLLER SUPPORT . 🎉 When I released this game two years ago, I never expected controller support t
Another update with a lot of fixes. Shattering finally doesn't cause any lag spikes anymore and also a bunch of other things have been cleaned up around the freeze mechanic. Also I'm trying out a new option for players that have been struggling with the zoomed-in over-the-shoulde
Lots of fixes in this update. I think I figured out what caused the no-spawn bug, but please let me know if you still encounter it. Also worked on the spawn behavior of the zombies, so they shouldn't be as obnoxious anymore while aiming. Fixed Reworked how the spawners get set up
Just a small update with some fixes, but also upgraded visuals for star mode. Fixed Damage numbers not disappearing when star mode damaged a boss Perks price displayed correctly now and when activated the lit bell turns on when the menu loads Spawner not starting at the begin of
It's been 1 year to the day of the initial release of Xmas Apocalypse, and it's quite a joy to still see new players and returning ones having fun with the game. So today is the day for the first annual major update! The minigun from the cover is finally in the game ! Also Steam
Attention Santa's helpers! Steam Awards The yearly Steam Awards are upon us again and it would mean the world to me to get your support! Nominate XMAS APOCALYPSE as the “Best Game you Suck At” because let's face it... we've all been there, too close to an exploding zombie, slashe
XMAS Apocalypse is currently on sale as part of the Steam SHMUP Fest and is at one of its lowest price points at 30% off ! With the upcoming update adding lots of requested features and more content to the game I'm gonna adjust the base price next week after SHMUP Fest concludes.
It's getting closer to the end of the year, and I am starting to look at what to improve on Xmas Apocalypse. Since it's an extremely seasonal game my general idea was that I would provide new content every coming year, but for this year I want to do something bigger and overhaul
Thanks everyone for being patient while the work on this beast of an update took way longer than I had anticipated. 3 new skills! 1 new character! 3 perks! And a lot of fixes and changes to improve the game. I also fixed a couple things with the save system, which unfortunately r
Fingers crossed this one is gone for good now... Fixed removed a blockage that interfered with the population of item cards which caused the level-up to be stuck without revealing the cards
Apologies for the minor update thrown in between, but there was a game-breaking bug in the last update that triggered for some and that has hopefully been taken care of now. Fixed removed loop that caused the level-up to be stuck without revealing the cards restructured instructi
Hi, everyone. Thank you so much for the amazing launch week! I didn't know what to expect exactly with this game, but the mostly positive response is really motivating. I have received so much feedback and ideas, I actually have to see what is possible for me to implement. This p
I am beyond excited to announce the release of Xmas Apocalypse, the festive horde-survival third-person-shooter is available on Steam and I heard people have been playing the game even on Steam Deck. So take your shotgun and give those zombies and other creatures lead. And there
