Deadly Days

DEMO OUT NOW
Hello survivors,

you might have heard about 'Deadly Days: Roadtrip', our brand new game, set in the 'Deadly Days' universe. We're happy to announce, that our Demo is now available:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3102400/Deadly_Days_Roadtrip_Demo/

Loot, shoot and mow down zombie hordes in a bullet heaven fever dream. Embark on a deadly roadtrip, battling from stop to stop, fueling your bus and fight to escape. Get your inventory management kick when that new loot slot in your backpack fits just right.



Does that sound appealing to you? You travel alone, but this time you got the potential to become lightning fast and dash between the zombies, or craft your gear into serious firepower that will make the horde crumble before you.

How? Make use of your magic backpack. Arrange your items and weapons just right, to have their adjacency effects stack and power up your weapons for ultimate zombie destruction power.

Some impressions:




Epic fights


3 Characters available in the demo.


Unleash your full potential by using your magic backpack


Can you survive the deadly journey? Find the best loot and the other survivors? Or will you be overrun by the ever-increasing zombie hordes and give up? Always remember: The apples and duct tape you find on your road trip can be used for permanent upgrades.

Deadly Days: Roadtrip - Playtest #3 starting today!
Hello,

today we're launching the public playtest round 3 for our upcoming game “Deadly Days: Roadtrip”. It's a spin-off of Deadly Days with new game mechanics and old acquaintances. This time you are on your own. But you can become more powerful than a survivor in Zombie Apocalypse ever was. Sounds interesting?

Sign up on our storepage:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3026450/Deadly_Days_Roadtrip/

If you have already been to the first rounds, you will certainly notice some changes. In addition to some exciting new items and objects on the map, you can now get a first look at two brand new game mechanics: Active Power-Ups and Meta Progress.

Here is the trailer:




Active Power-Ups


We created a new system for our power-ups (previous health pickup, vacuum, dynamite etc.). Before the change they automatically consumed. Now you can collect them and use them when needed by pressing the keys 1-4. An important strategic tool in the fight against the zombies.



There are also new items that exploit this new design space.

Small remark: QoL-wise we decided that the health power-up and level up power up instantly consume. If you have full health though then the health powerup will be slotted.

Meta progression


Depending on how far you get in a run, you will now receive a valuable meta currency that you can use to improve your stats. This means you not only gain game experience over time, but can also improve your initial stats.



Tech Update


Under the hood, we upgraded from Unreal Engine 5.4 to Unreal Engine 5.5 and re-integrated our entire sound design using FMOD. In the process, we have also integrated an extensive and varied soundtrack into the game, which adapts to the danger level. Take a look at the audio options, as these have also been refined in the process.

We have also been able to significantly improve performance in some areas.

If your hardware is a bit outdated, we recommend that you select the DirectX 11 version when starting the game. Feel free to compare both versions and write your experiences here in the comments, the discussion forums or on our Discord.

Inventory UX improvements


Inventory management is a central component of the game. We have made some progress here. Take a look at the snapping of the items and the item affection visualization.



Other changes


Added

  • New magnet item (increases loot range)
  • Craftable rocket launcher

  • New "utility belt" item which increases powerup slots
  • 2 new "active powerup" items which permanently give you an ability
  • New "energy drink" powerup (faster stamina regeneration)
  • New soundtrack incl. new boss fight music

Improved

  • Barrels explode on second hit now, not directly on first hit. They also blink for a short period before exploding

  • Player damage feedback now scaling with damage received
  • Tackle enemy more predictable now (arrow scales and rotates towards player and then locks in and gets red)
  • Reworked boss map visuals to fit farm theme
  • Boss map gates open and close automatically now (not physics based anymore)
  • Fuel automatically absorbed after beating boss and bus near to entrance now
  • More vehicle types on maps
  • Reworked character portraits
  • Reworked day end and win / loose screens
  • Manual shooting can also be triggered with CTRL key

Fixed

  • Some tiles on map not generated (black holes)
  • Many inventory related bugs
  • Airdrop and some loot crates spawned outside of player-reachable area
  • Some lakes did block bullets
  • Game starting way before loading screen ended

Balanced

  • Reduced base loot range (but you can buff it alot with magnet item and meta upgrades)
  • Reduced stamina regen rate (so you can't constantly dash cross the map)
  • Loot is distributed more evenly among lootspots (hopefully not completing fuel by just looting one car)
  • Generally more lootspots, especially in forest maps (e.g. tents)


We definitely forgot something in this list, but you'll see for yourself :)

The Hoarder can't get enough items! Update 1.7 released.
Hi survivors,

It's been a while, but we've just released a new update for Deadly Days! Just in time for Steam Scream Fest. Read to the end to find out more news about the Deadly Days universe.

In the classic Deadly Days you will now meet the Hoarder character from Deadly Days: Roadtrip (there we call him "Survivor") and may notice some minor improvements to the game. Details in the patchnotes below.

Changes in Update 1.7



  • Added: Hoarder character (+1 free item slot on lvl 5, +1 on lvl 10 -- doesn't "consume" buyable slots, so in total 2 more slots are possible when playing with this character)
  • Improved: Healing logic now prefers character with most missing health, relative to max health
  • Improved: Game pauses now when controller is disconnected
  • Fixed: Performance drops when generating game over screen
  • Fixed: Rare edge case where survivor mission house wouldn't spawn if map really small
  • Fixed: Edge case where failing by starving would show broken game over screen
  • Fixed: Sometimes workshop crafting screen could be opened while loading screen still active.
  • Fixed: Turkish systems showed "tofu" characters when i characters were used in text
  • Fixed: Medic heal description was in %, but is supposed to be absolute
  • Fixed: Toxic sludge weapon upgrade didn't scale with 300%, like writtein in description
  • Fixed "Planning room" leveling up did trigger when entering bus; now triggers in base (and thus e.g. treasure hunter drops its item in base)
