Note about the vehicles:
There is absolutely going to be some kinks to work out with the new vehicles. I'm asking for some patience as we go through the Holidays to expect bugs, laugh when they occur, report them, and wait for some fixes! They will get much better over the next few months.
Updates on the horizon...
- Interior spawning expansion; many, many more build parts and random spawned interiors, most buildings on the map should have semi-unique interior spawns with stuff to loot and search for
- More vehicle options
- More guns, including shotguns
- Better animations for most activities like fishing, driving, etc

Patch 0.0.6C
- Loot spawn expansion complete (there are random loot spawns in every building now, not the random interior decorations yet though)

Community Update #2
Let's cut right to the elephant in the room (at least for those of you trying to play on official servers) - they suck. There's no sugar coating it. I honestly feel, for the most part, that they are unplayable right now. I'm working on it nonstop, and am also actively looking for someone who knows what the hell they're doing to come in and help me with this.
Getting the official servers (and all multiplayer in general) back on track to a fun, enjoyable, as-lag-free-as-possible experience is a big deal to me. I know how frustrating and disheartening it can be to have the servers just not perform to an enjoyable level.
So, as sincerely as I can be through text on a screen, I'm sorry!
There is still so, so much more to come for DeadPoly. The game is nowhere near complete, and I'm eyes wide open to that.
I was lucky enough to get to hang out with the awesome members of Fate Gaming on their podcast for a minute and just chat about the game, life, and some other stuff! Check that out here if you'd like: Fate Nation Ep. 30.
You're all amazing, thank you for playing DeadPoly!

- New shop interior spawns added to multiple locations
- Banshee cooldown reduced to 30 minutes
Note from the developer - Just to be completely open and transparent with the wonderful players of DeadPoly: There's not nearly as much stuff in the Halloween event as I would have liked. It has been a bit touch and go finding big chunks of time to work on the game the first few weeks of the new baby. We're starting to get a better schedule down (and she's starting to sleep longer!). Rest assured, I'm not going anywhere, the updates are still coming, and big things are on the horizon for DeadPoly! Thank you all for playing.
Official Server Wipe - October 1st
Starting October 1st, the official DeadPoly servers will be wiped on the 1st of every month.
I don't do this lightly, as wiping progress is never something I'm a fan of doing, but it is being done out of necessity at this point due to limitations of the game in its current state. The official server saves are growing much faster than the game is handling currently, and I do lean towards having a fun, playable experience over never removing progress during Early Access.
The end goal / vision for the game is still very much so to never wipe or remove player progress, and I am still working towards that goal.
I appreciate everyone's patience with the official server performance woes and growing pains, and look forward to getting the game to a point where the official servers run much smoother without the need for removing progress.
Thank you for playing DeadPoly! See you in game.
