Undying
An Update on Undying's Development Progress!
We know it’s been a while since you have heard from us, and when an indie studio goes silent, it can be a little scary. Will there be any more updates? Are the developers okay? Has the game been abandoned? These are reasonable questions to have. Well, we are here to assure you that we are fine and development is still going smoothly.
The reason we have been so quiet is that we are now going through the final major phase of development. Finalising and polishing the main storyline in order to give the most satisfying journey and ending; as well as porting work (You may remember Undying was featured in the latest NINTENDO INDIE WORLD SHOWCASE) to make sure that the game runs as smooth as possible no matter where you play it.
That doesn’t mean we don’t plan to update the game before launch. We have 2 major updates planned for Q4 this year. One around late October/early November and one at the end of December. We have some really cool stuff planned for these updates, especially if you are part of Early Access.
So again, we are fine, and things are going smoothly. We thank you so much for your patience, and we can’t wait for you to get your hands on what we have been working on. We just need a little more time to show you.

June 10 Patch Update
1. Custom Difficulties now is ready for the Survival Mode! There are 12 options with this update, and there could be more in the future.
- In “World Settings” there are [Day Length] and [Resource Regrowth]. Yes, Day Length is something we have controlled firmly for quite a long time. Now in the Survival Mode, you have the control!
- In “Character Stats” there are [Hunger], [Thirst] and [Symptom Duration]. These will greatly affect how your body pace with time! “Mom, I’m huuuuuungray again!”
- In “Inventory” there are [Item Stack], [Durability], and [Food Spoilage]. Our lovely hoarders, now it’s time to pile up your inventory!
- In “Combat” there are [Damage], [Difficulty Increase], [Enemy Respawn] and [Enemy Stagger]. If you felt that zombies are a pain in your ass, now you are theirs.
