After some unfortunate events that happened within Aedion Studio we were forced to slow the Development of Down2Die. From being multiple people to essentially becoming a sole person took a huge hit on the schedule of the game.
Currently Aedion Studio has been recruited with 3 awesome developers that push Down2Die steadily back on track! We have some amazing features coming up and finally implemented most of the promised game mechanics from previous development updates!
- Down2Die has received a completely new graphics overhaul. Every model within the game will receive a new and fresh look. All the lighting and atmosphere have been changed to a more bright night style whilst still keeping that zombie apocalyptic look.
- Down2Die has also received a new transportation method... The "Minecart"! This cart will allow you to travel from biome to biome and easily transport items along with you. But be cautious for zombies that might jump on the cart to catch a free ride.
- Down2Die has also received the complete survival package including the following :
- Advanced Inventory
- Advanced Weapon System
- Recipe Crafting
- Function Toolbar
- Farming System
- Economy System
- Shop System
- Hunger/Thirst/Health System
- Ultimate / Upgrade System
- Building / Placement System
- Storage System - Down2Die has also received a new mob! Of course it wouldn’t be a exciting zombie survival without some new and interesting mobs! Although the spider is still in very early development. It already feels like a great addition to the Down2Die family.
Down2Die's core code was poorly written from the start. This caused the game to perform very badly as features were added to the game. This forced us to completely rewrite the entire core code of Down2Die. We are now proud to say that the game runs perfectly fine on the most basic systems with some even hitting 200FPS on ultra.
We are grateful for the people that still believe in the game. And hopefully look forward to the next big update that will be coming very soon ! We are still not quite sure if we will be able to meet the Release deadline but with enough hard work we should be able to deliver.
We have been working on making the game feel more stylized as well as making the map a little brighter, we have also started working on farming, the looting, inventory and crafting is working as we wish it to work, we are also planning some really cool features, stay tuned for more updates :D
