We know we’ve been quiet since announcing our project last year. Take that as a sign that the Devs behind Deathground have been busy building the game!
One year since Kickstarter
You may have heard that we launched a Kickstarter campaign for Deathground last summer. Our aim was to gain a little financial nudge to help give us lift-off and showcase what we were working on.
Well, next weekend marks one year since our project was successfully funded. Along with this support, we also gained an army of amazing backers, who sit at the core of our community. If you’re reading this, Raptors, thank you so much for helping us start our journey! Now we’d like to welcome the wider community to join us on the rest of our development journey.
Since then, our dev team has grown and is now packed full with world-class talent. We’ve also confirmed a publishing deal! We’ll be telling you more about them in a future update. For now, all we’ll say is that we’re super hyped to be partnered with them.
Our Publishing deal
Not only has the publishing deal brought in new resources, expertise and marketing support, it has also given the project more room to evolve. We’re able to fulfill what we set out to do on Kickstarter and beyond. With a bigger team and an even more beastly game to build.
We’re able to develop more game content and produce it at a significantly higher quality. From a greater level of general polish, all the way to the nuances of dinosaur animation and their behaviours.
Technical Art Showcase ‘Breakout’.
In case you missed this on our YouTube channel, take a look at our latest technical art showcase, demonstrating weather effects and high quality optimised environment assets. All rendered in-engine and output at 4K, 60 FPS.
AMA
To celebrate our first year of development, we're having an AMA next week on our Discord server! What would you like to ask the DG devs? To make sure we make the most of our time, we’ll be curating a list of your top questions, ahead of the stream. We will get through as many as possible.
Add your question in the ‘AMA’ channel for consideration. If there is a similar question already submitted, please give it an upvote. Question submissions are open from now until Wednesday 11 August 2021!
Until next time
Thanks for checking out our first update of this year. We’re aiming to share much more with you on a regular basis going forward. So, keep an eye out on the first Friday of the month for these news-bites. Until next time!
