Original postI've just converted the Final Days Soundtrack from a DLC to the new specific soundtrack app that Steam now supports.
Some benefits of this include the soundtrack being able to be purchased and downloaded separately to the game, as well as being able to opt-in to downloading the high quality version.
The soundtrack will now appear separately in Steam under the soundtracks category and can be downloaded and played from there.
For those of you who have already downloaded the soundtrack DLC, unfortunately you will have to download the soundtrack again (an unfortunate side effect of the conversion process). But at least now you don't have to download the much larger high quality version as well if you don't want it.
As always, please let me know if you have any issues and I will do my best to help you as quickly as I can. The best ways of reaching me are on the forums or Discord.
Thanks for playing Final Days!

Bot AI Update (v1.2.2) & Easter Sale
I've just released a minor update which adds an option to select the bot AI behaviour! It can be set to either "team" (the default) where bots try to form small teams with players or other bots, or "solo" where bots act independently. The new "solo" option is probably more simila
Original postI've just released a minor update which adds an option to select the bot AI behaviour!
It can be set to either "team" (the default) where bots try to form small teams with players or other bots, or "solo" where bots act independently. The new "solo" option is probably more similar to playing with other people as the bots just run around doing their own thing 😅
This was just a little feature that I managed to fit in which I thought some players might appreciate. Unfortunately I am very busy these days and don't have much spare time. So while this is just a small update, I hope you enjoy it anyway.
This update also fixes several bugs and rare crashes. For further details, please refer to the changelog.
To coincide with this update and Easter holidays for some of the world, Final Days will be a huge 80% OFF starting soon from Wednesday 5th April @ 10am PDT (17:00 UTC)! This sale will last for 1 week. So if you've been meaning to buy Final Days for yourself or a friend, now's a good time!
As always, thanks to all the players who have submitted crash reports! These reports help me a lot with finding and fixing crashes, so please don't be afraid to submit them.
If you do experience any issues with Final Days, then please let me know. While I am busy, I do try to keep on top of any issues people are having and I will do my best to resolve them as soon as possible. The best ways of reaching me are on the forums or Discord.
Thanks for playing Final Days!

Original postThe v1.1 update is now out, and it adds Steam Workshop support! So you can now easily download and play community made maps from the Final Days Workshop.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1458908761
Other notable changes in this update include:- To make things a little more forgiving to new players, you can now see behind yourself on Recruit difficulty.
- Reduced delay between waves for earlier stages (for wave based modes), and reduced delay between floors in Eradication mode.
- Added a single "master" volume control, and moved the other volume controls to a separate screen. Also added a "gunfire volume dampening" option which allows just the gunfire sound volume to be lowered.
- For matchmaking and dedicated server games, bots will now respawn after a game is lost (without waiting for a human player to respawn first).
- Map name and difficulty is now displayed in the player list, final rankings, and global leaderboards screens.
For the complete list of changes, check out the changelog.
I'd just like to thank DenoPL for helping to test the Steam Workshop support, and also for getting things started by uploading some of his maps there for all of you to enjoy! Much appreciated DenoPL! :D

And while I've got your attention, I am aware that the full release version of Final Days has recently been pirated. However, I’m not going to condemn piracy of my game as I know some of you can’t afford to buy a legit copy.
But if you do like Final Days, then please at least tell your friends about it! And maybe consider buying it later if you can afford to. Your support helps me continue developing games. Thank you! :)
P.S. Here’s a few legit Steam keys:
I hope they go to a good home. Have fun! :)

Final Days full release version launched!

Original postWoo!! Final Days has now left Early Access, and the full release version has officially launched! The original soundtrack by Chris Head is now also available to buy as a DLC! :D
Working solo on Final Days has basically been my life for the past 4 years now. I do hope people enjoy what I've created. Regardless, it has been an amazing journey and I'm proud of what I have achieved! :)
I'd like to thank *EVERYONE* that's helped me with things like playtesting, bug reports, feedback, and advice. You've been a great help! And in particular, special thanks to all my friends and family who've supported me through all of this! I don't think I could've done it without you!
In regards to what the future holds for Final Days, it depends largely on how well received it is. I've pretty much burnt through my savings developing it, so I'll most likely need to take on additional work (which means I will have less time). But I do have some more ideas for Final Days, so I will definitely try my best to get another update out soon!
Also, I am currently working on adding Steam Trading Cards for Final Days. I'm hoping to get the artwork completed for this and approved by Valve in the next week or two.
As always, please feel free to ask me any questions or share your comments with me. The best ways of reaching me are on the forums, Twitter, or Discord.
Have fun, and I hope you enjoy Final Days! :D
Cheers,
Mike
