Greetings from Orbis!

How’s your week been? This week, we’ve got some good news for your friends, and we’ve added some extra new base-building parts for you to play around with and exercise your creativity. Let’s start with the big news first:


Good news, survivors! We’re thrilled to announce that we’re making the Dysterra Dyscount permanent! Starting March 24th, the game will be available at a new lower price of $14.99. We hope this will encourage more players to join our servers and make our community even more vibrant. If you see any new people on the Discord server, please extend a warm welcome and offer them any help you can.



To show our appreciation to our loyal Dysterra players, we're excited to offer a special "Founder's Pack" to anyone who purchases the game before the end of the Steam Spring Sale (ending on March 23rd, 10am PST). Beginning at 8pm on March 23rd, you should get a notice that you’ve received the pack when you log-in.

[h2]The pack includes:[/h2]
[h3]🎁 6 furniture recipes
🗿 12 sculptures
💰 3000 terrapoints (yes, we love you 3000!)[/h3]

The 3000 terrapoints can be used to purchase new items in the game lobby’s Terra Shop. We’re thankful that you’ve taken a chance on our game, and especially grateful for everyone who’s taken the time to give feedback on Discord.



While most of the furniture is decorational, the bed has a respawn cooldown of 30 seconds, making it perfect if someone’s raiding your base and you need to get right back into the action.



Also, be sure to save some of those terrapoints because we'll be introducing a new Orbis Container soon.



Building in Dysterra has been a bit like building a house in early versions of Minecraft. But, we're excited to announce a new set of base parts that will make base-building easier and more customizable. We're adding a quarter (1/4) foundation option, which means that you can create hallways that actually look like hallways!



Now a hallway can be more like a hallway, and base defense is more customizable. You can create a maze to lure enemies into a death trap, or more easily hide a shotgun turret around a corner. If you’ve been using honeycombing as a base defense tactic, you can consider double-layering your base instead.





🔹 An issue with intermittent freezes.
🔹 A UI error with canceling bullets on the Stalker gun.
🔹 The progress bar while gathering would sometimes display backwards.



Keep your eyes peeled for a big announcement later this week!

We're excited to announce a Dysterra Dyscount! As part of the Steam Spring Sale, we're offering a 50% discount on Dysterra, bringing the price down to just $14.99. It's a great opportunity for you or a friend to pick up a copy!

If you've been thinking about trying out Dysterra, now’s the perfect time to grab it at a reduced price. We’re regularly adding new content to the game and fixing things as quick as we can. So spread the word to your friends and family. We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you in-game!


Moving on to our regularly scheduled Dev Note, we’ve been hard at work this week designing new content for you.

☠️ New animations for our upcoming bossOur art team has made some animations for our new boss that I think are pretty good. They’re all pretty good, but I picked two that I thought were interesting. The first one is its idle animation, and the second one is when (or if!) you kill him.




Here’s our new boss’s audition for the part of Romeo in the school play. I’m a little biased, but I think he’ll get the part. It might take some of you a few tries to see this animation of it dying(once it’s in the game), but I’m sure most of you will get there!





Our amazing art team is putting the finishing touches on the mining machine stone-version. We’ve mostly completed the animations. Now it’s on to completing the other tier versions! Casual and hardcore gamers alike will enjoy being able to focus more on fighting, and less on pvp.

Here’s how it’ll look in the wild.


Here’s a close-up.


And here’s how it’ll move.




This one mostly speaks for itself. We’re working on updating a portion of the buildings around the map to look more “lived in.”









[h3]Until next week,[/h3]
