Dead Age 2 is on Early Access. The release for the next big storyline update has a small delay. Release date of the last big update is 5.3.2021. Final Release date of the whole game is the 12.3.2021. We need a bit more time to find all bugs in the new southern area.
In this current update there is the last new main character potrait. Personally I love him. :)
Many people have asked for the formation button, so here it is. You can now set one party member that starts in the front row. The formation button is set on the map next to the portraits. But there is still the option to leave all three characters behind, in case you just want to empty your magazines. ;)
If you want to support us now, please write a review, so that we also survive on our huge quest. It's really hardcore difficulty level for developers to survive with masses of indie games on Steam.
In case you have not noticed the last big update before the bugfixes were the "Replacement Survivors" A "Replacement Survivor" enters the camp only when someone has died, because the game is built around a certain number of survivors.
We are also fixing bugs that the community reported, here is the area: https://steamcommunity.com/app/951430/discussions/1/ If you have found a serious bug, crash or blocker, please let us know. Sometimes when you find a serious bug it is good to stop immediately and send us the data.
You can send us the crash zip or the save and the backup files save1 for slot 1, backup1 and backup1b Please send us to contact@silentdreams.de In this case we can check the bug better and maybe repair your save.

Dead age 2 is currently on a 45% sale. The release for the next big storyline update is planned for the end of February. In this update there are again some bug fixes and an adjustment of the balancing after a 6-10 hours of play. After discussions with players from the community, Dead Age 2 becomes a bit harder in the 2nd half of the story. Problem was that the characters were significantly higher in level than the desert / mountain zombies and zombie mutations. (Level 10-11) Now it will be so that you have to play much longer to reach, for example, level : 12. Level 13 or Level 14 would be too easy against them. So everything remains fair, but it should be a stronger challenge. Feel free to give me your feedback if you haven't reached the desert yet. Use the link: https://steamcommunity.com/app/951430/discussions/ For players with lategame saves, we will also adjust the new storyline that follows the desert later in the end of February. So that the enemies have a better level.
Then a big "merci" to Pauline Forestier who has improved French Translation. So every french player can check the nice text. :-)
Dont forget: We will add the formation for a melee fighter in the next update, so one can be chosen directly in the frontline. This is a feature that many wanted and we see it as a good feature as well.

Dead Age 2 is currently on sale with 45% off for Christmas. Maybe give a friend a festive treat with some angry zombies?
This new content update includes additional speech bubbles in combat for party members and as requested by the community we have included "Replacement Survivors". These four survivors are non-story characters and replace a story survivor if one dies. All you have to do is encounter them in battle.
A "Replacement Survivor" enters the camp only when someone has died, because the game is built around a certain number of survivors.
However, the final story update will not be released until February. There have been a few delays and in addition we are adding another Wishlist Milestone: an improved Final Boss Dungeon that needs a bit more time. In exchange, there will be some interesting ideas in the final hours of Dead Age 2. :)
There are still a few thousand votes missing for this additional content, but we believe that we will get these votes by the time of the content update in February. In case you have not noticed the last big update before this update was the threat barometer.

Dead Age 2 is available on Early Access. Today we made an engine update to possibly fix some problems that are related to internal graphics cards. Usually you need a Nvidia or AMD card with graphics memory to play the game. For the people who had problems, let me know in the forum or the comments if something has changed for the better.
Don’t forget the last big update which included the threat barometer.

Balancing
changed xp reward for crafting and camp jobs. the job tier you assign (eg gardener 1 - 3 or crafting a pistol of tier 1 - 3) will now determine the amount of xp rewarded (50 - 150)
cooldowns for turret skills will now start ticking down only after the turret was destroyed. It was otherwise too strong compared to other skills
Bugfixes
-updated Unity to 2019.4.16 (LTS) to hopefully get rid of some random crashes on integrated graphic cards -fixed that the tutorial was forced to be skipped as soon as one attempted to play it -fixed wrong positions for NPCs in travel event with helping bodyguards -fixed that random encounters while traveling appeared much less than intended -fixed that when multiple characters died because of the same reason Jack would talk about that cause multiple times -updated some localisations -updated credits to account for the Spanish - Spain localization's contribution -changed xp reward for crafting and camp jobs. the job tier you assign (eg gardener 1 - 3 or crafting a pistol of tier 1 - 3) will now determine the amount of xp rewarded (50 - 150) -added a second backup save "Backup#b" that is written to every other save point since the current backup could be corrupted just as the normal save if something went wrong (which is not really useful as a backup) -improved some melee skills of NPCs so they no longer warp back after hitting the enemy with their fist / kick attacks -fixed that the number hotkeys in combat were usable while a dialogue was playing which is inconsistent with the fact that mouse can't trigger any attacks during dialogues. this could lead to some broken situations in quests or tutorial sequences -adjusted the skip tutorial button behavior to only show skip by default if tutorial was finished once -changed quest markers on map to use a different font color when showing the pinned quest -fixed that the ammo crafting yield bonus for survival talent level 9 was not working -fixed some inconsistent values in the descriptions of talent levels -fixed a crash that occurred when going back to main menu when using a controller while the map is visible
