Dysterra News

Greetings from Orbis!

With our big update coming your way next week, this week's patch may seem small in comparison. We’ve been hard at work on a number of fantastic new features, and we want to make sure that when you wake up to the new content, it's like unwrapping presents on Christmas morning. So stay tuned and get ready to be wowed!

[h2]Expected Update Start Time[/h2]
PST: Mar 28th, 21:00
CET: Mar 29th, 06:00
KST: Mar 29th, 14:00

In the meantime, here’s what’s changing in this week’s patch:

[h2]🔫 Shorter Turret Barrels[/h2]


We noticed that some of the turret barrels were peeking through walls. So to help you all keep those turrets a secret, we went ahead and shortened the barrels enough so that if you see a turret, you should probably be ducking or running.

[h2]📒 Bears shouldn’t fly anymore[/h2]


There were occasions where bears would somehow pop up into the air upon death. We’ve fixed that.

[h3]🐞 Journal & UI fixes[/h3]
We also edited some things in the journal, as well as fixing some errors in the lobby.


[h2]JOIN OUR COMMUNITY[/h2]

Good news, survivors! We’re thrilled to announce that we’re making the Dysterra Dyscount permanent! The game is now available for the 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 all Dysterra players who bought the game before March 24th, we're excited to offer a special "Founder's Pack". You should get a notice that you’ve received the pack when you log-in. We'll distribute them sometime before 7:00 pm PST (16:00 CET).

[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.

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

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!
