We've got some exciting news to share!
First, we want to celebrate this launch with you and thank each of you for your incredible support, patience, and all the bug reports you've shared so far. Your feedback means everything to us, and we're excited to hear even more of your thoughts and suggestions. Thank you for taking the time to review our game — it truly means the world to us as a small indie studio!
Now, let's move on to the Roadmap!
Update #1
We’re already hard at work reviewing all the bug reports, and we’re aiming to resolve the issues within just a few days. This upcoming update will focus on fixing urgent problems like crashes, critical bugs, and adding key quality-of-life improvements.
New Cards & Perks
Our first content update is set for release in November, and it’s packed with exciting additions! We’re introducing new attack cards for all existing weapon types, including rare, epic, and legendary attacks. Alongside these, we’re planning to more than double the current number of perks, adding even more depth to the game. While we won't include any new features for Act I, we may have a few surprises in store!
Act II Progress
Act II is set to be at least three times the size of Act I, and we're dedicated to delivering it with the quality you deserve. We’re currently around 40-50% through development, so the release is on the horizon!
In Act II, you’ll encounter new cube types, explore expansive locations, battle over 25 new enemies, and save up for tons of exciting new equipment. Plus, you'll get to dive into new features like arena, permanent underground base building, and much, much more!
We are ready to share quite a few things we've been working on:
You’ve already faced bandits and zombies, but a new threat awaits — an unpredictable group known as ‘psychos,’ or ‘clowns’ as the locals call them. These enemies are driven by a dark sense of irony, blending cynicism with a core of nihilism. And behind them all stands a mysterious leader, whose motives remain unknown.
You’ll also encounter a host of new, unique zombies and bandits along the way... each more fearless and ruthless than ever before.
NEW LOCATIONS! Each holding secrets waiting to be uncovered. As you explore, you’ll discover hidden truths buried within ruins, abandoned outposts, and more. Every corner offers the potential for discovery, from cryptic clues that piece together the origins of the apocalypse to unexpected twists in the story. Prepare for an immersive journey where every new location pulls you deeper into a world brimming with mysteries and untold stories.
We’ll keep you updated as we make progress! That’s all for now. Hopefully, this answers some of your questions.
