First off a huge thank you! We are so excited for the world to play Curse of the Deadwood!
Though we’ve tried our best to make Curse of the Deadwood as stable and bug free as possible, we are still a relatively small team for a game of this size, and we know that there are still some outstanding issues. Please know that we are actively working on fixes and will continue to fix bugs as time goes on.
Our plan is to release a patch next week that will address a few issues that we are aware of now, and then continue a cycle of releasing a patch every two weeks or as close to that as we can. Should any major issues be reported, we will prioritize those first and release hotfixes for them as soon as possible.
We really appreciate you all and please know that our team will continue to make Deadwood a great experience.
Gratefully, The Steamroller Animation Team

GET READY! Curse of the Deadwood To Launch July 28, 2022
When 3 close friends all decided to create a video game almost 9 years ago, they had NO idea that their idea would pave the way for an animation company that works on some of the biggest games on the planet including Fortnite, Mortal Kombat 11, Wolfenstein II, CyberPunk 2077, and Horizon Forbidden West. With ambition, talent, and a love for gaming, the trio has grown the studio from 3 owners to 163 team members all over the globe. And NOW, they get to release their very own game, Curse of the Deadwood.
Curse of the Deadwood is a beautifully animated tale of an enchanted land called Knottington. Join the epic journey of two unlikely heroes as they work side by side to defeat hordes of wooden zombies, save the Woodlings, and preserve the beauty and splendor of Knottington. Wield a variety of weapons, unlock upgrades, and fine tune them along the way to wipe out the menacing wooden zombies. This action packed evolution of a twin-stick, couch co-op game will leave gamers asking for more.
Adam Meyer, co-owner of Steamroller shares his thoughts on the much awaited release. “Seeing this game come to life has been a dream of mine for years. Our team at Steamroller Studios dove right into the story, they practically immersed themselves in Knottington. Creating epic content like this is what helps our studio stay connected, stay relevant, and continues to help us move forward in the industry. I’m so grateful to our entire team for the love that they poured into this game and I can’t wait for the world to play it!”
