Deadly Days: Roadtrip News

[p]Dear survivors, [/p][h3]Deadly Days: Roadtrip is launching next week.[/h3][p]The Early Access version will contain a ton of upgrades, content and chaos. A lot has been fixed, optimized and improved. But see for yourself next Monday, September, 22.. [/p][p][/p][p]We don't have words for the absolutely amazing support we received from our community on spreading the word about our demo. We're super proud and excited about the positive reviews on our Demo and confident, that the Early Access version will exceed expectations. [/p][p]By the way: The progress of things you unlock in the Demo will be transferred to the main game as soon as we release![/p][p][/p][p]At the moment our beloved community is adding feedback and ideas from the closed beta to our Opendecks ticket system. If you want to gain some insights on how the roadmap for early access could look like, definitely check that out.[/p][p]On Opendecks you can upvote cards and submit own ideas on our discord channel. Use the Decky Bot on the channel and submit your reports (/bug /idea /feedback). You will get notified automatically, when the dev team implemented the feature or has a question. That's pretty cool, right?[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]A little preview of what you can expect in the full version of the game. We showed this trailer at Gamescom 2025. The feedback we got there was great, and we were happy to see everyone who stopped by. [/p][p]Early Access Content: [/p]

[p]We want to take this roadtrip with the community riding shotgun. Early Access lets us test new ideas, see which builds, items and survivors people love or break the most and keep shaping the game together with the communty.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The final version will have more content of everything: playable characters, items, maps, bosses and ways to push your runs to absurd levels. We’ll also polish the core loop and add more features and late-game variety based on feedback.[/p][p][/p][p]If you have just discovered our game, we would recommend that you try it out for yourself. Grab our demo while it's still available!

[p]Dear survivors,
In celebration of the 'Games Forged in Germany Sale' we are pleased to announce that ‘Deadly Days: Roadtrip’ is coming to Gamescom and that we are officially working on the Early Access version! [/p][p][/p][p]It won't be long before we launch Early Access. We didn't want to reveal anything, but since we're really grateful for the amazing reviews of our demo, your support on Discord and your great ideas on Opendecks, we'll give you a little insight into what we're currently working on.[/p][p][/p][h3]More Loot![/h3][p]A little insight into the variety of new items. Any ideas on what these items do? Let us know in the comments![/p][p]Please take a look at this wonderful encyclopedia. I'd say there's a lot to discover here...[/p][p][/p][p]And that's what your backpack could look like soon...[/p][p][/p][h3]More Biomes![/h3][p]But of course we are not only working on new items. New procedurally generated biomes, new enemy types, new bosses and maybe even new game modes are in the making...[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]A canyon? Isn't it perhaps dangerous to park the bus here? Oh well, it'll be fine![/p][p][/p][p]If you have just discovered our game, we would recommend that you try it out for yourself. Grab our demo while it's still available!

[dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p][/p][p]Make sure to check out the other games on the Sale. Looking forward to seeing you at Gamescom in Cologne. Perhaps there will be a major announcement on this occasion.[/p][p]Big thanks to our community once again for their support.

• [p]Fixed: Damage falloff for melee weapons sometimes incorrectly applied when hitting environmental objects (like cars).[/p]

• [p]Fixed: Pause menu could become unresponsive if buttons were spammed.[/p]
• [p]Fixed: Black screen during the loading screen if buttons were spammed[/p]

[p]Hello Survivors! [/p][p][/p][p]Next Fest just started and we celebrate it with an updated demo! A huge thank you to everyone who has jumped in, played, and shared your valuable feedback with us so far.
[/p][p]For everyone discovering us during Next Fest who's ready to join the fight, welcome to the road![/p][p][/p][p]Before getting to the changes, have you seen our new demo trailer? Check it out![/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]Now, let's get right into what's new![/p][p][/p][h2]The New Reaper on the Road[/h2][p]We added a fourth character! Unlock this new character by completing a tough in-game achievement.[/p][p]As Death, you'll wield the iconic Scythe, a brutal melee weapon perfect for crowd control. The scythe also allows the Death to revive after taking fatal damage to give you a crucial second chance.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Child's Play and Mass Destruction[/h2][p]We've added two new items with a crafting process that makes perfect sense.
[/p][p]The Yo-Yo: A new trinket you can find on your travels that provides a passive reload speed buff. Its effectiveness increases the further it is from your weapon in your inventory. The yo-yo is contained in item pack 4.
[/p][p]The Chainsaw: As everyone knows, the primary component of any quality chainsaw is a yo-yo. Find a yo-yo on the road, then use it at the workbench to manufacture this loud, deadly, zombie-shredding machine. Simple![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Other changes[/h2][p]Besides the new content we made the following changes since version 0.8.3.[/p]

• [p]Improved: Our smallest pixel font has been updated to a more readable version that now includes support for a wider range of languages.[/p]
• [p]Performance: Reduced molotov impact particles[/p]
• [p]Balancing: When you hit a group of enemies with one melee attack, the first enemy struck will take full damage. Each additional enemy hit by that same swing will now receive slightly reduced damage.[/p]
• [p]Balancing: Reduced knife damage[/p]
• [p]Balancing: Increased explosion radius of explosive powerup[/p]
• [p]Balancing: Nerfed baloon pump melee size buff (and also fixed a bug where the wrong value was displayed in the tooltip)[/p]
• [p]Balancing: Increased spike ring damage of boss + damaging while inside ring[/p]
• [p]Balancing: Changed amount and logic how additional mobs are spawned for boss[/p]
• [p]Fixed: When playing with controller the character didn't face in the walking direction (when not shooting)[/p]
• [p]Fixed: Sometimes boss arena couldn't be left if destroyed building pieces were in front of buss[/p]
• [p]Fixed: Left handed melee weapon not rotating correctly[/p]
• [p]Fixed: Missing SFX for molotov impact[/p]
• [p]Fixed: Returning to main menu would auto select the Discord button (if playing with controller)[/p]
• [p]Fixed: Drill description broken in portuguese[/p]
• [p]Fixed: Several text overflows in different languages[/p]
• [p]Changed: Language selection moved to "display" category in settings (and made it first setting)[/p]
• [p]Changed: Some SFX adjustments, incl. low health beeping[/p]
