Until We Die News

It's our first release on Steam and boy it was awkward! The hotfix addresses many silly bugs you could encounter including falling down from the second floor, blocking constructions, playing battle music in background after battle, glitches with Chinese fonts, the reversed direction of the rat swarm in big wave and so on.

[h3]So what can you expect from us in the future?[/h3]
We would like to work more on localization, add Turkish language, also we would be happy to test and publish game for Macs and Linux systems. At a regular basis we will fix bugs. At some point of time we will begin to work on new game modes with stations, new heroes and enemies to deal with. We would also would like to add pets dogs.

Fun fact - many players want to jump in Until We Die. Dunno why.

The game wouldn't be there without help of some wonderful people I simply must mention.

And all our lovely community! Thanks guys and stay safe!

Hi everyone! It's Mitya from Pixeye Games. "Until We Die" is launched but because of a critical save system issue we discovered right before release, we launch Until We Die without saves. We’re doing everything we can to add them with the first updates in the coming days.

We understand that for some players, it’s critical, and we’d like to apologize for that. We hope a weeklong launch discount should be a small consolation for this issue. Until We Die will be updated before the sale ends.

But for those who feel tough enough to try beating the game in a single run – show us what you can! It is definitely possible.

Thanks for all your support and, again, apologies.

I won't be able to stream today due to the fact I tried my best to resolve the issue with the save system and I'm not in the condition to play.



Aside from that, we have added a new hero to the game, Anka. She will help you in your surviving journey and she is very good at sprinting :)

The second thing we've added is the workbench that allows you to change the profession of your unit if needed. The tool will be taken back to the workshop.



We will share with our upcoming roadmap and plans soon.

Sincerely,
Mitya
