Hello Community,
I would like to give you a little insight into the future with some already known information and answer questions about me that I have been asked often.
About KeepUp Survival
KeepUp Survival is a sandbox game set in a natural and post-apocalyptic environment where your task is to survive. The game is largely based on the community's requests and ideas.
KeepUp Survival is currently being developed by (1) a developer who is trying to make a nice small and simple survival game. Feedback from the community is very important to me so I can build on it. I also welcome requests and suggestions. Supportive videos and information sharing can help the KeepUp Survival community grow.
This game is an indie game, what exactly is an indie game you can read here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1524630/discussions/21/3597842130158305321/
Please note that KeepUp Survival is an (Early Access) and may still contain issues. Thank you
About me!
I often get inquiries from users about where I'm from and how I do it all. So I would like to tell you a little bit about me here.
Where are you from?
I'm from Germany, have been a family man for 15 years and am now 36 years old. My dream has always been to do something better, to have something of my own, to stand on my own two feet and be independent. I think many people have this dream, but to achieve it, you have a hard road ahead.
What are your interests?
My interests have always been in computers, graphics, (clan/game) web design and also game development. I've taught myself everything in a roundabout way over the years. But that's what I love to do and would do again and again. From that, I built my dream and started my sole proprietorship.
What are you working on right now?
I'm currently developing KeepUp Survival, which has been in (Early Access) since February 26, 2021. It's not a title that blows you away, and not everyone likes it, but it appeals to a small part of the Steam community, which I'm very happy about. I really hope that it will become more and that I will gain some notoriety with my work. I'm definitely very grateful for the small streamers and users who have always supported me along the way and continue to do so.
What are your tasks?
My job consists of developing games, writing news, advertising, creating videos for the community, designing graphics, and general tasks that come with being a sole proprietor. In addition, constant support via the CommunityHUB, Discord, and email is often at the forefront of my mind, which takes up a lot of my time. My work hours are often over 10 to 12 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Do you still have a private life?
To be honest, no. I try to achieve something with my work and what I have built up. Of course, I make time for that too, but work comes first. When you work independently, you always have the fear that the ship will start to sink. I think you understand me!
Do you work on other games as well?
Yes, I work on other games as well. But the main development is KeepUp Survival, I only work on these games outside my working hours or when I need a clear head.

RoadMap
As previously announced, there will be a free zombie DLC.
KeepUp Survival is a kind of game that is not about killing zombies. Due to frequent requests, I have decided to offer a free zombie DLC. This will allow the user to play against zombies.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2096140/KeepUp_Survival___Zombie_Expansion/
This DLC allows you to play against zombies. It reduces the number of animals to make survival more difficult, and the threat of zombies is increased.
Currently you can add this expansion to your wishlist, I can't give an exact release date at this time.
Male and Female Character
I have now also decided, as previously announced, to start this implementation and allow you to choose between male and female characters.
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1524630/view/3370400292099373062
Again, I don't want to give an exact date yet because it's a lot of work to implement these things. I'm trying to implement a lot of things quickly, but please be patient.
Unreal Engine
The game is currently based on Unreal Engine 4 and will be moving to Unreal Engine 5 in the future. Again, unfortunately, this is not done overnight, nor is it mandatory to make this change. But I want to let you know that I have thought about making this change in the future.
Multiplayer
There will be a change in the multiplayer, the game KeepUp Survival was usually only developed as singleplayer and on demand more and more expanded to multiplayer.
In the future I will turn the multiplayer into a DLC, with this I want to make the users more aware that the multiplayer needs more work and can still contain bugs.
This also allows me to get the main game out of the EA process faster. The EA process always has a lot of advantages for developers because you can always change a lot of things without getting in trouble later. The game will continue to be developed after the EA process.
Summary
- Zombie DLC (expansion)
- Male and female character
