Nikson and I are rebooting Dead Acres as Farmocalypse in the same manner that Dark Deception got rebooted. I think that one turned out pretty decent, so I'm looking forward to doing the same for Farmocalypse. You can follow our progress with the game on our (now active) Farmocalypse Twitter page.
Once finished, Farmocalypse will sell for much more, but we will keep the price as is at a massive discount for the remainder of Early Access as a small thank you to everyone who has been so patient as I struggled to get this game finished. I promise you will be happy with the final product in a bit. Dead Acres is my tribute to old school FPS games like Blood, Doom, Serious Sam, and Duke Nukem. It will be very over the top and a lot of fun with tons of monsters to mow down.
Holiday Update
Hey everyone! Dec update time! I know I haven't updated in a couple months, so I wanted to let you all know what is going on with Dead Acres development.
As I have been called out for several times, I am horrible at accurately projecting release dates. Sometimes the delays are my fault and sometimes they are due to occurrences that are out of my control. In this case it was kind of half and half. My main programmer went MIA. It's highly unlike him to not communicate and we are all a bit concerned for his safety. He has been with us for almost 2 years. We have brought on a new guy to help out, but it was one of the main reasons for the delay. The other issue was Dark Deception. This one is my fault and goes back to my (very) poor decision to develop 2 games at once. Dark Deception had a publisher milestone come due (we are working with a very well known AAA publisher), so we had to divert focus to DD for the past 2 months due to contractual obligations. It is looking pretty awesome so far though and I am working with Nikson (TJOC:Story Mode) on it.
So.....what about Dead Acres??? Yes, there is actually good news for that. I am getting things back to normal and have a little breathing room with DD now. When I last updated, Stone Cold was pretty much done minus the vehicle mechanics. That is still the case and you can expect to see some new levels early in 2018. So get ready to have some fresh gameplay in the near future. From now on, I'm not going to talk about the level release dates until they are 100% playable and all I have to do is press a button to update Steam with them.
That said, I just want to thank all of you for your patience and for not chewing me out daily over the past 2 momths :P. You guys are great fans and gamers and I'm 100% committed to finishing Dead Acres and fixing the bugs I've seen reported so far. If you are in the LA area, I may plan something fun for Dead Acres full launch and also give people a sneak peak at Dark Deception.
Happy Holidays & Merry Christmas to everyone!!
Stone Cold Coming Soon!
Stone Cold is almost complete and targeted for release sometime in the next 10 days. Stay tuned! A new level is finally coming and we are going to get more on track, releasing a new level every 2 weeks from here on out until finished.
