We continue to update the game. Latest patch notes over here: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/941460/view/5457792180867979316 Occasionally we get questions like "when is the next content coming?", so I would like to address that shortly: This is not a live service game. This is not game with endless replay value. What matters most for Death Trash is the 1.0 version, containing an (estimated) 20h story campaign with medium replayability. And the exact way we get to this version is of lower priority, in my opinion. We're only two developers and while we work on improving the base experience for example we don't have time to also add new locations and quests in the meantime. So please have some patience with us while we work on any kind of tasks. We haven't forgotten about the other tasks. That being said: The core game is in a much better shape now and I can personally move over to work on story etc.
First languages mods available
Great progress was made on the community translations. Some helpful people have spent a considerable amount of effort on making Death Trash available in other languages already. Please take a look at the Steam Workshop: https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/browse/?appid=941460 Install: Subscribe to a mod through the Steam Workshop. Next time you open the Steam client, it should download the mod, and if you start the game, the language mod should be ready and that language active inside the game. If you encounter any issues with that, please let us know. Not all language mods are complete, but Spanish, Italian, Chinese and Japanese seem to be.
Consider telling others about the game
You probably know that indie games thrive by word of mouth. If you already played the game consider leaving a review for others to read.

Localization Tools
Hello there.
This is a short update about the situation of translating Death Trash to other languages.
Official localization
We heard you. There are lots of people who would like to have Death Trash available in multiple languages. We appreciate that interest and can confirm that we would like to have Death trash available in more languages, too.
Our plan is to have Death Trash professionally translated to a number of languages for the full release of the game, version 1.0. The actual list of languages will be decided at a later point, probably next year when release is getting nearer.
But it doesn't make sense to contract these translations for the Early Access already. Death Trash has a lot of text elements which get changed constantly. And with official translations people would rightfully expect them to stay up to date with the game. This in turn would mean that we have to wait for and sync that translation work with our own, which would slow down development too much.
Community translations
A few people have already shown interest in making translations of the game to other languages on their own, even during Early Access.
For this specific use case we're making some tools available now:
- Text import / export (already working with the latest update) - Google Spreadsheet workflow for translating the text and keeping up with updates - Mod support for the game (already working with the latest update) - Steam Workshop support for distributing the language mods (will be available soon)
We would have done this at some point anyway, so it made sense to us to move them forward based on demand.
Note: The current mod support is only intended for adding more languages. We plan to add more modding features later during Early Access or after the 1.0 version of the game.
Where to start...
If you're interested in translating Death Trash to another language, here's where to start: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tFSY_w96tPz2e7Nh3Dfuoezc8cyBb8RuujaER5cHoE4
For discussing this in more detail or if you need some help with the tools you can post here in the comments or join our Discord: https://discordapp.com/invite/deathtrash
Please be aware: - There is no compensation. - We might contract an official version for that same language later from someone else. - Other players might expect you to update the translation for the upcoming game updates.
So decide carefully if your personal time is worth investing into this.
