Death Road to Canada · build 20229279 · published
QUADRICEP is the biggest Death Road Update in quite awhile! There are lots of big new mechanics and changes. It features 4 new gameplay modes with all new mechanics, and giant reworks to both bows and rifles. There is also a lot of new content, including special characters, weapons, hats, locations, and more! If you like the update, please tell your friends and leave a positive review for the game! We are just on the verge of Overwhelmingly Positive again. It would be incredible to get that.
Read below for a full list of changes.
This update is all thanks to Professor Sycamore on the Official Discord. Here's a message from the developer of this update: "Hello my beloved community! Professor Sycamore here. I worked hard on this update, and I'm looking forward to the feedback everybody has! Feel free to reach out. Enjoy all the new content! Lots of love, Sycamore <3"
In addition to this big update, you can now sign up for the upcoming Playtest for our Death Road spiritual sequel! We hope to have even the early playtests for Space Dingus have online multiplayer, so we can focus on testing that as early as possible.
Sign up for the Playtest and Wishlist the game, here:
I will post more news on our plans for the first Playtest on the Space Dingus Steam news section, this Friday! I will also post a big developer log about what we've been working on, and what's next.
More big updates coming! The next update is going to be started soon, and Sycamore already has some plans laid out for it. When we're about halfway done with the update, I'll make a news post on the upcoming content, so we can get early feedback.
Early plans involve more gameplay modes, further tweaks to the Bow Rework from this update, old Trait buffs and reworks, and maybe WHIPS added as a general weapon class.
INFECTION
Time is ticking until you all turn into zombies. Every zombie you kill increases the timer, but only once you leave the mission to rest!

Start with 4 people, all with strange new powers. ALSO TRIPLE the zombies.
