Today marks exactly 1 week after the release!!

After 1 year of solo-development and all the ups and downs it feels unreal to show it to all of you and see how much fun you are having in the game.

It's been hell of a week, but once more we can't thank you enough for all the support and love you have showed for Survivors of the Dawn!

We have heard all the feedback you have sent us over Discussions and Discord so here's:

[h2]What to Expect in the Near Future:[/h2]
  • Weapon variety in progress. (5 new weapons already under development)
  • Variety of content (Floor Objectives, Terminal Tasks, Items, Shops, and Characters etc. wise)
  • Full controller support is coming sooner than you expect so keep an eye on that.
  • More detailed UI, pause screens; items, passive-active upgrades, synergy classes to be more available.
  • The sounds may become messy through the later stages in the game so, it is prioritized to be polished.

Here's what we plan to accomplish until the full release (May subject to expand even more)
[h2]The Overall Roadmap:[/h2]

  • 20/30 Item Variations
  • 2/4 Maps
  • 4/10 Terminal Tasks
  • 10/50 Various Random Events: They are planned to be give you more control of the in-game balance along with the connection of the story.
  • New Meta Progression Elements: You must learn how to spend your Bounty Bits more reasonably sooner or later.
