Hey everyone, I've been working on getting a build to share and was hoping to get into the Next Fest event that starts tomorrow. I've been making a lot of progress but there are too many missing and broken aspects to the demo right now. I'm going to hold off on a public demo for now. BUT I am going to be doing a private beta instead for anyone who is interested in getting an early look at the game.
You can request a beta key through the UD Discord: https://discord.gg/f66RkePw8s Just post in the "ud2-beta-request" channel
I'm planning to send out keys this week as soon as I get a working build uploaded to Steam.

Hey everyone I wanted to give you all an update on how things are looking with UD2. Unfortunately, I haven't been making progress as fast as I had hoped so I will be targeting a new release date of Q2 2022. I'm also going to be trying to get a demo ready for the upcoming Steam Next Fest in February. I'm nervous about announcing the demo because I'm not 100% sure if I'll be able to get it ready in time. Getting to share a build with you all and collect feedback would be amazing so I'm going to try my best to make it happen.
If you haven't already you can check out the UD2 store page here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1587920/Undead_Development_2/
Thanks for the kind and supportive messages! ːcozyjunimogreenː

Hi everyone, I'm excited to officially announce to you all that Undead Development 2 is coming and the Steam page is now live.
I am targeting an Early Access release date for the end of 2021. It's possible there will be delays but this is the goal I'm reaching for right now. I will also be releasing a free single-player demo ahead of the Early Access release similar to what I did on Itch.io for UD1.
A quick note. While UD2 will support the mouse and keyboard, It's very important to me that the VR mode doesn't feel like a secondary add-on. The VR experience is a priority. There is a lot missing from the Steam store page, I'm just showing off what I've managed to accomplish so far.
I also want to thank everyone who was supportive in the last update announcement. I really appreciate it. Your positive comments really help motivate me to keep going. <3 <3 <3

I’m sorry I haven’t been engaged and the updates have slowed. I have felt stuck. I am not satisfied with the game, but currently it is extremely difficult to expand on and improve the current game. I made a lot of mistakes in how I handled the overall architecture of my code. I am not a professional programmer, I am slowly learning how to do this. My mistakes have made it so that bugs are very hard to fix and new features or additions I want to add take way more time than they should. That is why this patch I am releasing is going to be the last content update for UD. Everyone’s feedback on the game has been amazing but I have felt really bad because so many great ideas are too difficult to implement in the current project. This update adds a final completable level, Steam achievements, and trading cards. I will be monitoring the update for major issues and UD will be leaving Early Access soon.
I have no intention of leaving UD here. I have learned a lot over the course of this project. With everything I’ve learned I know I can create something of much bigger scope. But the only way I can do that is in a fresh project with better planning and a complete code rewrite. I don’t want to promise any features but I will be focusing on multiplayer support among many other large changes and additions. That’s my plan right now. I’m sorry I couldn’t deliver on a more polished, bug-free game. For my own sanity and so I can create a much better game this is what I need to do.

The main feature of this update is a new item, Electronic Trigger. This new item is a small circuit board that you can connect with any triggerable item in the game. The circuit board will spawn with a remote that can be used to activate any Electronic Trigger remotely by pointing in its direction. When activated using the remote, any items attached to the Electronic Trigger will activate.

Hey everyone, really excited about this update. I've reworked a lot of systems to support a new open style of map.

Thanks everyone for all the support with Undead Development's Early Access release! Everyone's feedback and enthusiasm has been super motivating. Thank you! This update has some new gameplay features but is mostly focused on bug fixes and general game improvements.
Update v.75
Updated game engine
This shouldn’t have an effect on gameplay but may solve some crash issues some users are experiencing.
Implemented new automatic error reporting system
This shouldn’t be noticeable to players but this will provide me with some data on errors and bugs players are experiencing.
Gameplay Changes
You can now extract the remaining ammo clip from a weapon by using the trigger on a weapon that isn’t directly held. (Doesn’t work for ‘special’ weapon types like the flamethrower or rocket launchers)
A highlight outline will no longer display on a held gun when the other hand is in range to grab it.
Various damage effects (such as a gun shot) can now trigger explosives.
Gun shots and explosions now collide with player tools.
Snap Rotate no longer requires click
Improved player damage feedback
Bear trap now has a cooldown tied to a longer animation
Teleport spots (like ladders) now display a green teleport trail when selected with teleport locomotion.
You can now use teleport locomotion to select a level from the level select screen.
You can now see the active number of ‘wave’ zombies by pausing the game.
Zombies will now die if they fail to attack anything for 3 minutes.
Minor Changes
Reworded Ammo II research perk.
You can no longer access the pause menu after dying and during the post game process.
Map records (kills and waves) are now saved when a wave is completed
Player progress and map records are now saved when restarting or exiting.
Bug Fixes and Optimizations
Fixed a bug that was saving highest kill record with your highest wave.
Modified cut metal material to remove the visual flickering issue.
Fixed bug with pistol ammo spawning (a lot more pistol ammo will likely spawn now)
Fixed issue with unlocked guns in the home base not being usable
Fixed flickering on spikes of small metal scraps
Balanced Molotov audio to be quieter.
Fixed issue where guaranteed hammer or light was not given to the player at the beginning of the game
Added maximum spawned loot cap. Once 120 loot objects are active all loot except for ammo will stop spawning. I will be tweaking this or removing it based on feedback.
Tweaked individual item caps.
Fixed issue that would nail objects to the ground when a different object should be prioritized.
Changed the collider type for a number of level objects that made teleporting awkward.
Fixed issue with belt pouch interacting with objects considered structures. (if an object is nailed to a static piece of the environment or nailed to a ‘post’ sticking into the ground it is considered a structure)
Fixed issue with teleporting while holding a piece of an object considered a structure.
Fixed issue with a crafted object being dropped if an attached melee weapon was destroyed.
Filled hole in cracked road meshes for “Old Home” level.
Fixed issues with flamethrower’s effects staying active when out of ammo.
Fixed ammo UI bug when using weapons with their own ammo pool.
Fixed issue with medium and small loot bags not having a spawn limit.
Fixed issue with melee weapons not lowering durability in certain situations.
Improved hit detection with melee weapons to help address an issue with melee weapons nailed as defenses.
Fixed white texture issue for the bear trap and nails.
Made change to hopefully address issue with scope’s texture not updating
Made teleport collision in ‘Old Home’ level more consistent between wave combat and scavenging.
Fixed issue with some fire particle effects not despawning and causing performance issues.
Tweaked recycling of some particle assets.
Fixed issue with Ammo II perk when ammo is capped.
Fixed a bug that would allow duplicate looting of a single ammo box
