Welcome and thank you for your interest in Battle of Decay: Survival !
The games store page went online a day ago and can now be viewed by everyone.
I thank everyone for their support and feedback so far. There is still a lot of work ahead of us, but together we will make the game, the store page and also the community hub successful.
I wish every beta tester a lot of fun while testing.
Battle of Decay: Survival will be released later this year (2022). The gameplay should last 10-15 minutes per sublevel. There will be three sublevels per location, so one main-level will last 20-45 minutes. If a main level has been completed, the next level will be unlocked. There will be exciting environments, a leading story and also different enemies / weapons that are adapted to each level.
Languages and other changes
There is already a new changelog for the upcoming version which includes an extension of the first level and a lot of fixes. Among other things, the damage of weapons is partly increased and the cost of certain 'merchboxes' reduced. The next update will also include changes to the gameplay with gamepads. Another point are the subtitles, which are still somewhat limited in the current version.
New images and texts in different languages were added to the store page. The images are mainly meant to act as 'Topic' separators and represent the current style of Battle of Decay: Survival.
However, all languages are in experimental stage for now, so mistakes may occur.
If you want to leave feedback or report a bug, feel free to create a thread in the steam forum.
- More cover images will be added
- More features will be added to the description

If you have any suggestions or requests for improvement, just share them and I'll see what can be done.
Battle of Decay: Survival is the first game I'm releasing on Steam and I plan to make it a small but also big game with a small little story, eastereggs etc. There are many features planned and I hope some of them can be implemented. I am very happy that the full gamepad support that will be improved in the next update works and that the game is already fun for some players. Of course there are still bugs at the moment, but without them I would have much less to do :P
Be a part of the community and help to improve the game!
Your opinion counts, that's what it's all about :)
Have a nice day!
