Hi all, we hope everyone is doing well. As always, thanks so much for your continued support, great comments and engagement in here, Discord and on social channels.

We wanted to mention first that we're going to be part of the Future Games Show Livestream!


The show will be broadcast on Wednesday August 23, 2023 at 11am PT / 2pm ET / 7pm BST / 8pm CEST on YouTube, Twitch, Steam, Twitter, Facebook, TikTok and GamesRadar.
We hope you're looking forward to it!

Back to the game! So if you thought one raptor was hard enough to deal with, well we’ve only gone and added multiple raptors to this map to make it just that more terrifying and challenging. You’re backed against the wall and have a short window to clear the corridor, are you getting out alive?

If you remember the teaser video of escaping the raptor whilst he was fortunately preoccupied with choosing his snack of choice from the vending machine. Well here’s another teaser into that clip where you’re hoping and praying, it hasn’t spotted you get into that locker.

You've already seen the raptor lurking around in the murky water and basement before but here’s more of that new, flooded basement environment as well as the new labs above. One path is overgrown, the other is flooded but either way, you meet the same doom!


These labs haven’t seen humans in quite some time…


There's a new night guard in town but be careful, he doesn't take too kindly to visitors...

Here’s a peek into where you must get to the office door terminal and activate it in order to help your friends but beware as it’s not as easy as it sounds with these terrors roaming around.

You saw the Powerplant and Turbine Room teased before but here's more of it - it hosts a lot of shadows that you’re best probably avoiding.


Thanks all, more updates to come shortly!

Hi all, we hope everyone is doing well. Thank you all again for the continued support and comments across Steam, socials and Discord. There's plenty of content being shared frequently so please hop in for the latest updates and come talk Deathground.

We have some more visual content and dev updates to share with you but firstly, a quick note on our wonderful CM, Gee. You may have noticed she's not been active lately but that’s because we’re proud to announce, Gee has recently become a mama and the game has its first development baby raptor!

We can confirm that both Gee and her newborn baby are safe and well, and she'll be on Maternity Leave for a while. Thanks for your patience as we handle things on this end.

Back to the game, check out some teasers into the Motion Detector scanning for danger in the wilderness and in the interior archive room:

Someone remembered to shut the gates right?...Right?


Here's a few more of the gates and the surrounding jungle areas, we hope you like them.


Who's nominating themselves for the raptor autopsy? He's dead, we promise!


Ground Control to Major Tom - a glimpse into our Powerplant desks.


⚠️Flood Warning ⚠️
Good luck trying to wade your way through the water and escape the danger that awaits you around every corner. You'll make a tasty, albeit wet, snack!


Thanks again and talk soon,
Jaw Drop Games!

Hello all, we hope you're all doing well and again thanks for your support, great comments and interactions here, in Discord and across social media recently! We've got some strong visual content to share with you right away but first and now that we've fully revealed the raptor, we wanted to share a peek at the raptor in all it's glory.

Feast your eyes on the raptor teaser below before it feasts on you!
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
You saw glimpses into the Control Room before so here's some more of those as well as the concept for the courtyard being turned into a reality. Also, see below for more snaps of your buddy being eaten alive as you fail to save them, and the scout in some serious danger. Stay alert or die!




You may recall the caverns filled with hot lava - enter at your own peril...


It's fair to say the Tech Animation updates are coming along well for the player, or you could say they're having a bit too much fun with the poses and rotations! Disclaimer, it's just messing about, we're looking forward to showing the actual positions and items in-game shortly.


And finally for now, we have a cool teaser out shortly that we think you'll like! Check out a few sneak peeks here at the hungry girl and let us know which snack the raptor should go for. Let's hope it doesn't get stuck as those arms aren't exactly long!


We also had a very short feature in the Future Games Show streamed yesterday, we'll let you know when we've got a brand new video and bigger spot to show off more on the game soon!

Thanks once again and we look forward to sharing more updates as soon as possible.

Hi all!

Firstly, thank you for your continued support, passion and activity! But quickly to add, our wonderful CM, Gee has been ill recently and is taking some time off. We're all wishing her well, sending our thoughts and good vibes her way. As a result, we're gonna try and step in and provide more updates and visuals!

Secondly, we're aware of the slowdown on updates and can understand it’s caused some curiosity or concerns on development. There's been some serious roadbumps and external issues that have affected development and our team, causing setbacks which we're trying to manage as best as possible. We understand the concerns and especially the intrigue into dates. Hopefully the upcoming updates will help clarify things more and we’ll ensure to update on key events on the horizon, when we can.



You may have seen a sneak peak into our raptor but here it is in all its glory. Be careful what lurks in the shadows!



We’re still powering away and dedicated to bringing an awesome experience, despite the setbacks and want to show more of the game and hard work going in soon. We’ll leave you with some artwork here but please remember to wishlist and keep an eye on here, on Discord and socials for more quality content.

So as you know, we've been upgrading to UE5 which has a lot of benefits to Production and lots of tools and tricks to utilise but also the visual fidelity which you can see here.



A few teasers into the control room and also an Easter surprise! Do you think you could survive this Egg Hunt?



Until next time...
If you like what you’ve seen and heard so far, don’t forget to join our community on Discord and talk about all things Deathground. Also check out our channels and spread the news on Twitter, Tiktok etc. We really appreciate the support while we develop this beast of a game.
