Railbreak News

Hey Survivors!

Wow, we have a lot to talk about and a busy week ahead! Let's get to it!



Everyone has been asking for it, so we're doing it! Back our BackerKit Crowdfunding Campaign on Jan 30th @ 1PM ET to help make Railbreak VR on SteamVR and Tailbreak for both Railbreak and Railbreak VR happen!



Railbreak VR is exactly what it sounds like - a full native standalone implementation of SteamVR for all of Railbreak (and Tailbreak!). Experience the sights and sounds through your cutting edge VR headset as you take on the waves of glitched infected and dinos in the over-the-top insanity of the world of Railbreak!



Tailbreak is our first full sized story expansion pack for Railbreak. Bringing our dinos from Dinobreak into the world of Railbreak, you'll be fighting through a brand new story, new game modes, using new characters and weapons, and tons more! It's dinoriffic and we can't wait for it!



And we're going to have some absolutely INSANE giveaways! So go follow our Backerkit Crowdfunding page right now at http://www.railbreakvr.com so you don't miss your chance to back the project, and get in on these amazing giveaways!

We'll also be streaming all day starting at 1PM ET on twitch.tv/deaddropstudios !

Our first content update is coming to Railbreak on all platforms on Jan 30th! Featuring the brand new Time Korrisis mode that is playable in every part of Railbreak, you'll be racing the clock as you fight through the undead to score more time and survive the nightmare! You can play this mode across all of Railbreak, so think of it as a new game plus!



We also have our new character, Korrine the Glitch Goddess, joining the cast! She's our first expert level character and she's challenging but incredibly fun to use. She uses all new projectile weapons (instead of the hitscan of other characters) and boasts the beastly Plasma Cannon, Glitched Sidearm, and the Katana which has the ability to trigger super glitches! Get ready for a brand new experience!



We'll be back on Tuesday with more news, but get ready for some crazy antics and follow the BackerKit Crowdfunding campaign now at http://www.railbreakvr.com so you're ready! (AND TELL YOUR FRIENDS!)



See you on Tuesday!

We look forward to sharing more news with you regarding Outbreak: Shades of Horror and our other projects in the near future! Thank you as always for your support!

Hey Survivors,

Our latest patch for Railbreak is now live on Steam! This patch brings some meaty graphical enhancements to the game, and brings the title up to the 12GB size that was advertised on the store page since launch. If you encounter any instability, just reduce the Texture Quality setting in the Video Settings menu as that area received the biggest upgrade across the game.


- Significant graphics improvements across the entire game. Hard drive space usage increased, however run-time RAM usage only appears slightly higher in-game as per our testing. This change does not affect the game's framerate.
- Fixed an issue where the Sinden Lightgun Border would disappear on the Game Over screen.

Hey Survivors!

Good news! A few more glitches have been patched in the world of Railbreak on Steam! These patches are rolling out to all other platforms today as well!

Here's what we did, and don't forget to check the "Update Notes" button on the title screen for this complete list too! We have plenty more updates coming in the weeks ahead!


- Added a "Compile Shaders" button to the Settings menu.
- Added the Update Notes screen.
- High scores now properly save in all parts of the game.
- Added an option in Audio Settings to allow you to set the character's voice volume level independently.
- Fixed numerous infrequent softlocks on Acts 2, 4, 5, and 6.
- Added an option in Game Settings to allow you to specify additional wait time before moving to another area to make it easier to collect items.
- Added an option to the Screen Filter Override in the Game Settings menu called "Never Switch", which will ensure no game overlays ever appear on screen.
- Added an option to the Game Settings to specify larger bounding boxes on item pickups. This can only be set at the Main Menu.
- Items can now only be picked up if they're visible to the player, and cannot be collected through walls or other surfaces anymore.
- Improvements to eliminate a very infrequent situation where being grabbed by a zombie would remove your gun.
- Additional performance improvements across the title.
- Item highlights now appear at greater range.
