| Major update | What's Next? Normally, this would be the "introduction" of the post followed by a list of changes. Though there has been many changes, that list is not the focus of this post. (you can read a decent amount of the changes at the bottom of the post) Almost every month I try to inform you all of what is new with the game. This month I decided to spend my time polishing what was there for future improvements, b… | — | |
| Major update | NEW MAP, CHANGES, AND THE FUTURE | August 2024 INDTRODUCTION I decided to update the game how I used to this month. This resulted in a few errors so I will probably not do that again. Errors like "Levels going to the wrong levels" after rearranging the main menu was not the goal lol. Overall, I think the game feels nicer to play. It's a more "well-done" game now. My work over the last year has definitely paid off. ..so this is everything ne… | — | |
| In-game event | NEW MAP, AND MONTHLY UPDATE JULY The Slater Map has been added in a test phase. You must have DEAD+. This is the first round based map added to the game for DEAD+. It represents what round based maps will go towards and be replaced by. It is not complete, do not expect complete for another month (life + gigastructure). If anyone has a theme idea for the map let me know, I am thinking lone farmer. Additional New Stuff and… | — | |

| Game update | 5/26/2024 Ash Update INTRODUCTION I changed the level ASH to look kinda cool, and fixed some other stuff over a long period.

So a sum: a new menu has been… | 13679493 | |

| Major update | January 2024 | Major Gameplay Overhaul This is the final overhaul of the game. It brings many changes, additions, and fixes. Over the last few months there has been an update once a month to fix, change, and generally remaster a game that I have had on my mind for the last 4 years. Over those last 4 years, the world has changed dramatically, and with it my life and trajectory. A lot of my time with the game has been escapism from my… | — | |
| In-game event | December 2023 | DEAD Revamp Part 3 This is part 3 of the final overhaul of the game. This is part 3 of 4 (3/4).

| Community | 2 Months Later A few things to keep the people updated for those interested: The Sandbox game is going strong, we switched back to our primary engine simply so we can get things done faster, * Our multiplayer system can hold any amount of players we desire up to 100,000 (basically overkill and unneeded but good to have). * Animations look dope and I am proud of what I have done. Currently we are building the… | — | |
| Community | What's coming in 2023 in 2019 I started work on an idea for a game that revolved around digging and mining underground with your friends. That turned into me writing a 30 page binder in study hall in my highschool about an infinite and dangerous labyrinth where people are sent to die/live out their days. Well that game faded away and it never got done. It always stuck in the back of my mind. In fact it got far enoug… | — | |
| Game update | DEAD 2 Beta Spawn Speed Changes LIVE Hey, just a quick "update". Fixed the ability to... well play the beta and now you can if you didn't know how to fix it already. I changed the speed of enemies spawning. Let me know if it is a fair/fun speed. Yes, enemies stop spawning at a certain point. Why? Because I testing if this is a good speed for spawning. It if it is I can keep going... if it's not then I can potentially make it faster. | 9073058 | |

Currently I am opening the availability to play in set beta/tech tests that I will be privately hosting to gain feedback that I otherwise would not be able to see for myself. Below is a video of the current look of DEAD 2. To be able to join in… | — | |
| Community | Various Community Questions Hey there, this should be a simply post. I am asking questions. Dead 2 (Another free game) is being created. I am pretty much ignoring dread because it's too large, and costly and would take to long if I were to do it alone or multiple people were to do it for free on their own time. 1. What do you want improved from Dead 1 in Dead 2 (fixes, additions, removals). 2. How many maps should there b… | — | |
| Community | The next game Hello, Over the last 2 months we have been creating a new game, DREAD, last month you saw a GIF of a prototype for it showcasing new things like bullet casings dropping, smaller bullets, and more detailed environments (the ground looks nicer). Below is that GIF again: I personally wanted to give another update to what has been going on, even though not as flashy as the GIF above it should give… | — | |

| In-game event | New, Free, Impossible Map You probably didn't expect very much from a small zombie bullet hell game but I felt the boredom to make a new map. With that, below is an quick explanation and a screenshot of the new, free map. BOX EXPANDED The new map, Box Expanded, is a hellish take on the first free map, Box. While box is the easiest map in the game and the most played map I realized there is no free, impossible, map so I… | — | |
| In-game event | DEAD Update 1.1 Okay right of the bat: Bugs that were fixed: · You couldn't press enter to restart the level · You couldn't upload your score properly sometimes There wasn't that many bugs so it was easy to fix. Secondly, About future content: There will be more once there is a demand for someone asking for it. Some ideas I did have was some challenge levels. Those would be cool. Also, I was told multiplayer w… | — |
