Dead
Dead - Soon on Steam!
Add Dead to your wishlist so you too can end the universe when it's released!
Soon
Why the delay?
The truth is game development isn't a very lucrative hobby these days. Steam is over saturated with games and indie game development has never been easier. If you don't have some sort of following or hype prior to a games release it will flop and be lost to the annals of Steam.
So that's what I'll be doing now! I'll try to get people to take a look and see gain some interest. If anyone has ideas or opinions let me know.
Big thanks to anyone who's kept their eye on Dead! You're the reason it's alive.
DOUBLE BOSS FIGHT: Eremite and Spectre!
A preview of another boss! All the best games have boss fights where you fight a big one and a small one at the same time.
Private Beta Update: 16/08/17
New Game+ options are now unlocked after defeating boss #10.
- More sound effects replaced
- Stat page art redone
- More stats added
- More achievements added
- Progenitor and Vesicle now have Easy Modes
Private Beta Update: 30/07/17
The new game+ options are now in as well as full achievement integration.
A bunch of bosses have been changed slightly to have harder modes. Only three of the bosses have "easy modes" so that'll come soon.
Gotta test! Gotta make sure it all works. Can't have any bugs for the final release!
PREVIEW: Puppeteer!
A quick preview of Puppeteer, one of the many bosses that you'll need to defeat in Dead!
Super Grapple Duck: It's not Dead
The Game Maker's Toolkit youtube channel hosted a gamejam and I took part because making games is fun. The theme was duel mechanics and so I lost a lot of sleep making SUPER GRAPPLE DUCK!
Play it here on itch.io!
While you're there you can also play Mini-Dead. A short, three boss game with unique teleportation mechanic.
New Game+
In a way.
It has New Game modifiers. After completing the game you will be given the option to toggle on and switch about some options for when you start a new game. All of these options make the game harder.
But isn't Dead hard already?
Yes.
In a way.
Dead is not meant to be stupid hard like those annoying "Impossible Platformers" made in Flash. Dead is just meant to be a good challenge. But, if you're the sort of person that DOES want to be tested to the limit then these new game modifiers are for you.
Turning one on will be hard enough. Turning all of them on will make a challenge fit only for Koreans.
Shout out to the three or four people commenting on these journals.
The Achievements in Dead Aren't Rubbish
I've made sure that each achievement brings something new. Nothing silly like "Kill 10 Rats" but instead, new challenges and interesting ways of killing bosses.
In other words these achievements are not a waste of your time.
For example, one achievement is to kill a particular boss without using your self-combustion ability. A harder challenge is to kill the same boss without moving!
There are medium and hard achievements for every boss in the game if you find Dead to be too easy.
I also make sure to complete every achievement personally (except for the hardest one, which you can see above on the right)
Dead is not dead!
If you followed the Greenlight campaign (rip) then you'll know it's been a long time since any information has come out.
But I'm happy to say that Dead is far from dead!
Ever since the release of OESE a year ago I've been working hard to make sure Dead is super fun. I dunno about you but I like my games to be fun so that's what I've been doing.
More news to come! Dead is shaping up nicely!
