Xbox gamepad support coming soon!
Since the release of DEATHPIT 3000, a number of users have requested gamepad support. We cyberlambs agree that this would be a great new feature and so we have decided to go ahead and include Xbox gamepad support. We expect to have it ready for Windows very soon!
Improved scoring system on the way!
Now that Deathpit is live, we are working on our first round of updates. We are in the process of improving the in-game scoring system by adding live scoring, so that you can see what points you and your friends are earning as you kill enemies and pick up spacebux (instead of having to wait until the end of a round to see). The aim is to add a fun edge of competitiveness while maintaining the co-op spirit of the game.
DEATHPIT 3000 HAS GONE LIVE!
After 18 months of non-stop work, we are incredibly happy to announce the launch of #DP3K! We hope you enjoy it! Grab a copy during our week long launch sale and get it for 40% off.
Steam Achievements and Cloud Saving
With just over a week to go before release, the final polishes have been made and Deathpit is ready to hit the shelves with fully integrated Steam Achievements and Cloud saving functionality! Trading cards have also been prepared and will be made available as soon as the Steam sales threshold is met.
