As always, community updates have been too sparsely happening. I've continually said that I'd ramp up the communication with everyone repeatedly, but it never really materializes in to anything tangible. Due to there not being an unlimited amount of hours in a day, I basically always err on the side of spending my time working on the game rather than trying to make content about working on the…

Survivors, Raiders, and Factions are on the way! Raiders are non-zombie AI that attack, well, basically everything. They will spawn randomly, and also have some specific areas where they frequently spawn. Raider driven events are in the works where a raiding party can spawn and hunt down the player and raid their base. Survivors are neutral AI that can spawn around the world who are just trying…

First and foremost; this update took way too freaking long to get released. It suffered from a massive amount of feature creep, and stuff kept getting piled on. This is obviously on top of the map expansion, which as the past updates have shown, always take me exponentially longer than any other type of update. I'm still not great at map making, but I'm tryin'. Unfortunately, if I don't release…
The Garden City Renovation Project has begun. Please see the below map with areas that should be largely unaffected. Bases built in the green circles should be largely unaffected from large changes, but the other areas may change significantly, including height changes, buildings, points of interest, and more being added around the map outside of the main cities. · Points of Interest currently…
DeadPoly needs YOU! I am looking for harsh but actionable feedback on things DeadPoly needs to improve upon to make the game better for everyone who currently plays, has played in the past, or might play in the future. The players of DeadPoly are one of my greatest resources, so I'd really like to grab some harsh feedback on where you feel the game currently sits, where focus should be directed…

Three years? Not shot. Feels like just the other day I was sitting in my room playing around with what would become the first iteration of DeadPoly, but they say time flies when you're having fun I suppose. The journey of releasing DeadPoly to the world is still hard for me to describe, and still feels like I'm in an episode of the Twilight Zone living the life I've always dreamed of. In so man…
Additions · Winter Holiday items have been added to the loot pools · Unlocked achievements now add random things to the main menu Changes · Logout timer after engaging in PvP has been increased significantly · You can no longer build while flagged for recent PvP · Basically all loot containers besides the buildable safe are now lootable in PvP · Random containers like backpacks can now drop ran…
Hello again, Survivors! It has been, according to my notes, way too damn long since I posted an update with what's going on with DeadPoly, so first and foremost, I'm sorry for that. For the players who don't hang out in the Discord, you definitely get left in the dark with what's going on with the game. It can be really hard to balance working on the game with creating content about the game wh…
I've always said perfection is the enemy of progress - I can sit here forever fiddling with these numbers until I feel like it's 'good enough' but y'all have been waiting very patiently. We're going live with some pretty inflated loot numbers. None of the drop chances are set up, so basically everything will drop in somewhat equal numbers. The loot tables have been split up so 'normal' items ar…
Patch 0.4.0 is here, and I'm really excited to start getting some of the early lore and story in to the game with this update. There's not a huge amount of quests yet, but writing the entire questing system from scratch was a very large task, so rather than waiting for a novel's worth of quests before we begin testing the new system, I'm going to roll it out with a handful, get them tested, twe…
Additions · Big Boy boss zombie is back. He still needs some tuning and will get some special abilities in the near future. · More interiors added to Garden City · Added more placeable items · Kitchen items added (sink, cabinet, stove, microwaves, toasters) Changes · Backend performance optimizations for how the game handles items and world objects · All zombies have received a damage buff · Mo…

The next few weeks... While this update doesn't add a ton of stuff immediately, it contains a lot of backend work required for the next few updates which are going to completely fill Garden City's buildings with interiors, along with new items, buildables, crafting expansions, body armor (which is going to be non-visible to begin with, just adds armor and rarer ones will also add inventory slot…
