Terminus: Zombie Survivors News

Hey everyone,

I'm thrilled to give you a sneak peek into the next update for 'Terminus: Zombie Survivors'. This update is set to include two larger places, four new endings, and controller support.

Here's what's in store:

[h3]1. Two Larger Places[/h3]

I'm adding a Military Base and a Research Center, each designed to be larger than the marina. These sites will have unique layouts and exploration elements, along with new furniture and items that fit their themes.

⚔️Military Base:



🔬Research Center:



Expect new zombies, vehicles, and new weapons like assault rifles and grenades for these places.



[h3]2. Four New Endings[/h3]

In addition to the 'Reach the Terminus' and 'Boat Escape' endings, I'm introducing four new endings. These will offer diverse ways to survive in our zombie-filled city.



[h3]3. Controller Support[/h3]

I'm also working on controller support, developing it with 'Steam Input' for compatibility with all controllers supported by Steam, including Xbox controllers. This will ensure perfect compatibility with the Steam Deck. Post-update, I plan to apply for Deck Verified status.

Alongside these major updates, I'm improving overall gameplay and the user interface based on your feedback.


Aiming for a beta release in March, I'm working diligently to bring you these new features as soon as possible.

Thank you for your continued feedback and support. I deeply appreciate everyone who enjoys 'Terminus: Zombie Survivors'!

Hey everyone!

I'm thrilled to announce that the supplemental update for version 0.9.9 is now available on the default branch. A big thank you to everyone who provided feedback during the beta phase. This supplemental update aims to quickly deliver features frequently requested by our community before the next major update. I've included the following features:


[h3]1. Permanent Death Toggle Option[/h3]



For those who prefer a more relaxed gameplay experience or wish to avoid accidental deaths, I've added an option to toggle off permanent death. This option allows continuation from the most recent save, avoiding the permanent loss of progress.


[h3]2. Map Note Feature[/h3]



You can now right-click on locations on the map to add notes. Whether it's a broken-down vehicle, an NPC you left behind, or a place you've looted, feel free to jot down anything that aids your gameplay.


[h3]3. Customization for Survival Partner/Squad Traits[/h3]



I've introduced a new customization feature for the Survival Partner and Survival Squad traits. This enhancement allows you to select companions with preferred occupations, stats, and traits, further tailoring your gameplay experience.


In addition, there have been enhancements in texture art, gameplay, UI, and performance. Please refer to the full patch notes below for more details. I'm always grateful for everyone's valuable feedback.

If you encounter any issues while playing the game, please feel free to reach out via comments, discussions, or email me at [email protected].
