[h2]Screenshot Contest[/h2]

We’ve received a TON of screens from y’all. We’ve had a look at the ones tagged as participating in the contest and picked our favorites from each category.

BEHOLD, the WINNERS!

*drumroll*

Nature Shot winner: wsn555!



Meme winner: Deejster!
"I am god and you will obey my commands"



Dealer’s Life winner: DK1NG!



Congrats! You are officially the best DDS2 Demo digital photographers.

[h2]Longest Gameplay Contest[/h2]

We’ve set you a challenge that you won’t be able to play the demo for over 300 hours. And what happened? Of course, you proved us wrong! We shall beg your forgiveness for underestimating your power.

But there was one player who shined above all.

The winner of the Longest Gameplay Contest is Blejan with over 378 hours played!

We bow before your might.

All 4 winners will be contacted via Discord. Keep your DMs open to get your rewards!

And, as promised, there is a bit more info about the DDS2 demo itself: the demo is here to stay! We wanted to take it down a week ago but you kept playing in big numbers… So we prolonged it once… and now we decided to let you play in peace!

The demo will be available until the next Steam Next Fest. And possibly even longer. We still encourage you to fill in the survey to help us improve the final game! Fill in the survey here.

Cheers!

Dealers, this full of excitement year is over!

We wish you a smoking hot New Year, a lot of new opportunities, a lot of free time to play DDS2 when it comes out, fortitude to achieve your New Year resolutions, and a lot of luck.

Happy New Year!

Dealers, it’s that time of the year again. The time of smoking hot beverages, with a certain charm, pumpkins everywhere… Wait did we get that right???

ANYWAY.

We wish you an absolutely wonderful Holiday time! With or without jack-o-lanterns, you do you.

Smoke and drink responsibly, stuff your face with good food, get what you want under the tree (or just because you want to) and have a jolly good time!

Happy Halloween and Happy Holidays to y’all!

Hello there my dear dealers! 🙂

I have an announcement that there is an update for the demo, but before I get into that and the list of changes:
I would like to wish you merry christmas, a peacefull time with your loved ones and as for the non-christian members of this community hopefully a rest from work and great new years cellebration.



Additionally - we would all like to thank you all for participating and providing feedback to the demo, especially the playtesters but also everyone else who let us know on both the good and the bad sides.
We are gathering and analising all your feedback, we are really happy for all the things you do like, and as for the things you don't like or issues/bugs you've encountered - most of them are totally addressable and will surely be improved before the full game drops.
We learnt a lot from your reception of the demo and will happily and eagerly get back into production after some rest during the holidays, to deliver the best possible experience and make DDS2 the best it can be!

So - again - thank you all so much, enjoy the rest of the year and we'll see you in 2024!

[h3]As for the update 0.11.7, changelist:[/h3]

• Fixed the issue where you could get stuck in the bunker exterior door
  
• Added an "Emergency teleport" option to the pause menu for any other map/geometry issues you might encounter - it will TP you out of wherever you might get stuck to a closest safe place
  
• Added enabling/disabling of motion blur in the graphics settings and reduced the amount of the default motion blur when enabled
  
• Added a V-Sync setting (default enabled) to the graphics settings
  
• Added an FPS limit setting to the graphics settings (default disabled)
  
• Added a Brightness setting to the graphics settings
  
• Added a partial translation for the Polish language which should cover most of the UI, task and item names, substance and drug names, recipies, narrations, short screen hints, errors and notifications etc. (I am handling the polish translation personally to make sure is as accurate as possible, so considering all the other work I have I simply didn't manage to finish all of it in time, as there's a lot of it)
  
• A potential fix for the crashes related to shader decompression (I say "potential" as we never encountered those on our side before, so you'll have to check if it's better for you now)
  
• Multiple fixes to the Fog Of War on the map for joined clients, made it to universally work and load from saved games properly
  
• Changed the defaut shadowing method accross the entire project which both improved shadow quality as well as improved performance (at least on our and QA side, please let us know on your experience)
  
• A few additional minor changes, tweaks and fixes

Thanks again, have a great time playing and merry christmas ~ Rafał, Lead Dev.

Dealers, a friendly reminder if you somehow missed it: the FREE DDS2 demo is now out! Get your buddies and play together until January 2.

And when you do play, let us know what you think! Your feedback is priceless. Honest.

And that’s not the end of good news!

We’re having two contests going on now! Try your hand at the Screenshot Contest and the Longest Gameplay Contest. All while playing the demo, no additional effort required! Read more about them here.
