The Collector Update is Live for everyone!

Hi everyone!

We hope you've been spending some cool times in the hottest island for survival and parkour this summer!

We're happy to announce that Die Young just got bigger with a feature-licious new update! Enter the Holm Oak Thicket where the story unfolds even more and new gameplay elements are introduced!

If you've been following us on Facebook and Twitter, you might have already caught glimpses of some features in today's update. But here's what you can look forward to:

  • New NPC: Discover a new character who will not only help shed light on the island's mysterious history but who will also serve as a merchant. You'll be able to carry out some trade-by-barter with him for handy items and equipment!
  • New Weapons: As the stakes for survival get higher, so will your need for a variety of weaponry. Arm yourself because no one will save you!
  • Throwable Items: Get more cunning with your stealth tactics and distract enemies by throwing objects like rocks to clear your path!
  • New Effects & Animations: Immerse yourself in the horror of the moment with new blood effects and cinematic death animations when you're killed by dogs or mobs.
  • Fauna meets Flora: New particle-based fauna like butterflies, dragonflies and other insects pump a fresh breath of colorful life into the vibrant island.
  • Bug Fixes: More bug fixes than your death count! ːsteamhappyː But seriously, fixed a ton of bugs ;- ) .

We keep working on tons of stuff, we haven't been able to finalize everything so expect an hotfix in the next couple of days with even more improvements on the stuff live now. ( perhaps most importantly we've adjusted fall damage but we will release this fix probably in tomorrow hotfix )
