The weekend is yours: play the demo until Monday, March 17th!

EDIT: Are you excited for the weekend? Great! We have some good news for you Survivors: we're keeping our demo available throughout the weekend! You still have some time to meet Stinker and solve the mystery in Tesla's tower! Our demo will disappear from Steam this coming Monday, March 17th!


First of all: A big thank you, Survivors!

It's time to slowly say goodbye to the Survival Machine Demo—it’s been one heck of a ride!

Thank you for every comment and every piece of feedback you’ve shared. We’ve read all your suggestions carefully, and they are incredibly valuable to us as we continue developing Survival Machine!

All good things must come to an end, and the same goes for our demo, which will be shut down on Friday, March 14th at 4:00 PM (CET).


You still have a few more days to test your skills against the night-time zombie attacks, explore our world, or take on the points of interest we’ve designed—alone or with your crew. Just a reminder: there’s no time limit in the demo, so the only thing stopping you is your free time!

Once again, thank you for all your comments, feedback, and engagement on our Discord! See you on the next one!

dzięki!

We've got all the answers!

Hi Survivors!


Recently, we asked you to send us your burning questions about Survival Machine and our work! We've gathered your questions from our Discord, social media, and Steam, and now we have the answers for you! No need to drag it out—let’s get started!



[h3]Will widescreen be supported?[/h3]
Yes! Our goal is for Survival Machine to fully support widescreen. The current demo already supports 2560x1080 and 3440x1440, but if you have a non-standard resolution, let us know, and we’ll try to add support for it.

[h3]Will there be a pause in single-player?[/h3]
Yes, single-player mode will have a pause function, but this feature is not yet working in the current demo.

[h3]Will there be a character editor in the game?[/h3]
No, but we will have several different characters to choose from, so everyone can find one that suits them. However, you won’t be able to customize their appearance.

[h3]Will there be enemies other than zombies?[/h3]
No, in Survival Machine, you will only fight zombies. However, we plan to introduce many different types and variations of zombies in the future.

[h3]Are the worlds randomly generated?[/h3]
Survival Machine features partially random world generation. The order in which you discover different parts of the world can change, and elements like POIs, resources, crates and more will be generated in different locations each time you play—so you’ll always find something new!

[h3]Will inverted mouse controls be available?[/h3]
Yes! Inverted mouse controls will be included. Our developers are working on adding this option right now.

[h3]Is the world infinite?[/h3]
The world is finite, but with a twist. You shouldn’t be able to hit the end of the map. Instead, the game loads the next part of the world for you, making each session a little different

[h3]Will I be able to change the difficulty level?[/h3]
At the moment, the demo does not include difficulty settings. However, we are actively considering implementing this feature in the future.

[h3]Can I move built structures?[/h3]
No, once a structure is built, it cannot be moved. However, you can destroy it with a hammer and rebuild it in a new location. Destroying a structure returns all of the invested resources.

[h3]Will the game be playable on Steam Deck?[/h3]
We haven't fully explored this topic yet. Our goal is to officially support Steam Deck in the future, but for now, there is no official support. That being said, you CAN already play the game on Steam Deck, but you might encounter some control issues.

[h3]Will control remapping be available?[/h3]
Yes, you can already change key bindings in the current demo.

[h3]Will there be a matchmaking mode with random players?[/h3]
Currently, this option is not available. We are operating on an invite-based system. We would like to add this feature in the future, but we can't make any promises at this time.

[h3]What is the recommended player count for the game?[/h3]
There is no fixed number. You can play Survival Machine solo, in pairs, or in groups of three or four players. The game scales difficulty dynamically, so you can enjoy it no matter how many people are in your session.

[h3]Is there fall damage in the game?[/h3]
No, you don’t have to worry about falling. Survival Machine has no fall damage—this makes gameplay smoother and more enjoyable!

[h3]Are you considering pricing the game lower, around $5-10?[/h3]
We are not ruling out any pricing options. However, for now, we are aiming for a price range of $15 to $30.

Thats all for now Survivors! If you have any more questiones feel free to ask them here in the comments section, on our Discord or in Steam Discussions.

Have an awesome weekend, and dont forget to try our demo!

dzięki!

Coop Demo Hotfix 1.0

[h2]Hi Survivors! [/h2]

From your reviews, it seems that you really enjoyed our co-op demo! We're very happy to hear that, and thanks for all the reviews (including the negative ones, there was a lot of great feedback in them!).

We've prepared a few hotfixes for you today, but also... a bit of new content! What exactly is changing in Survival Machine? Take a look at this list!

[h3]What's new?[/h3]

Tesla is ready to be explored
  • We added new Point of Interest to the demo - Tesla.
  • Now you can build a Spike Trap to defend against zombies.

Spikes will help you defend your Machine! But remember: the Machine has to be fueled for the traps to work!

[h3]What has been fixed?[/h3]
  • There was a Resolution instead of input option in the Input setting. There is no more.
  • Some players couldn't interact with their inventory or pick up loot from zombies. The issue has been resolved.
  • Opening Bug Reporter on launch caused coursor disappearing in Main Menu. We have fixed that.
  • We removed Tool Damage Buff exploit that gave players too high damage on tools and weapons.
  • All players now leave different backpack, one for every player slot, so there would be no mixup after respawn.
  • Quest marker for gathering Stone mission now disappears properly.
  • Now the quest regarding finding Green Goo appears and can be accomplished properly.
Thanks for your engagement and all the feedback coming in Survivors – it’s really helpful for us! Don’t forget to play our demo and leave us a review on Steam! See you next time!
