Yet Another Development Update — April 2023
[h3]Welcome, Survivors![/h3]
How have you been? The past few weeks were busy for us. We've recently passed the 100,000 wishlists mark! Once again, we're thankful for all the support & feedback you give us ːheart_meː
We've wanted to update you on our status and bring you a few details from behind the scenes of the development process.
[h2]Early Access Release Date![/h2]
Firstly, due to some unforeseen circumstances, we've pushed back the Early Access release date by a few weeks to Q3 2023. To be completely transparent - one team member spent almost a month healing COVID-19, and another took some time off to help his family. You know how it is, sometimes life doesn't go exactly as planned.
But! We're increasingly confident that we'll be able to release the first Early Access version of the game in July, so mark your calendars with the date below:
Thankfully, it's not Friday 😉 We also want you to check out the new official promo art for the game:
How does it look? Hope you like it, but that's not everything we've got for you today!
[h2]Survivor Preview: Ghost 👻[/h2]
Cue the epic choir music!
You may have seen this character in the demo, sitting behind a padlock. Actually, there wasn't a character there - we're working on adding one, and we can show you a few things about it.
Ghost is a melee damage dealer that focuses on ninja-like techniques and an agile style of play. This character excels at covering the melee aspect of your team, but that doesn't mean they can't fight from a distance. There may also be some stealthy tricks they have yet to reveal, if not for the fact that we'd have to be killed for knowing their secrets 🤫
[h2]Enemy Preview: The Witch & The Flies 🧟♀️🦟[/h2]
We're working on adding several new enemies with new attack patterns and AI. One of which is the Witch (badum-tss!), a new boss monster that doesn't like to get its hands dirty.
Instead of attacking you directly, Witch uses an ability to summon infected insects, sending a cloud of mutated flies to spread the virus to you and your friends. Although mostly stationary and much less resistant to damage than a Butcher Zombie, this enemy remains dangerous if not dealt with.
These and other upcoming enemies should add to the variety of the game, but we're always willing to work with players to tweak and balance things in case something doesn't feel right in the future.
[h2]Thank You![/h2]
