Dead State - Early Access Update #2

DoubleBear Productions has posted the next post-funding update on the kickstarter page for Dead State with news about the games next big Early Access update.

Early Access Update #2

We’ve got a major new update to the Early Access build for you today!

We’ve added character creation, basic goals (experience system), two new locations, two new random encounters, combat bark functionality (note – allies will eventually have unique barks, grabbing from generic list right now), an ambient sound system, and many bug fixes and combat balance additions (although combat is getting even more polish/balance soon.) This update introduces the rest of the functionality that forms the backbone of the entire game. From here on out, much of the work goes into improving on and building out the systems of the game rather than adding completely new functionality and screens.

Also, keep in mind that the updates only represent a small amount of the work in the game and that the majority of our work is going toward our progression playthroughs of the game. This includes maps, characters, events, weapons, enemies, neutral AI, and minor systems that are getting added or tweaked constantly these days. Crisis Events have turned out especially well – they’re definitely feeling spot on to our original outline and navigating the subleader/shelter political layer is as unique a gameplay experience as we hoped it would be. If you were looking forward to putting a lot of hours in the final release of Dead State, you will not be disappointed. And as soon as the update goes out, we’ll go back to making more maps and implementing additional dialogues to make sure that the roads out of Splendid will take you to an ever-increasing amount of destinations. Think the Coyotes are a threat? Oh, just you wait…

As always, please feel free to contact us here, on Steam, on our boards, and let us know what you think or if you’re having any problems. Even if we can’t respond to everything, we do hear you and we’re taking notes. We’re firmly committed to giving you the best survival RPG experience you’ve had, so if you don’t hear from us, it’s probably because our screens are filled with editors, emails, text files, and team chat programs. Thanks for all your patience and continued support!

More information.

After playing this new release, it came as obvious they are aware of the deep flaws in the game. They are trying to correct them but it does not look they will manage to curb the trend.

The game will be a survival game by claim, not by content. It will be considered a survival game because it is set in a post apocalyse world and that in a post apocalyptic world, survival is what people do.

No you didn't…

Chien has sane episodes. You just never know

Example of sane episodes: a RPG is about role playing. Sanity turns doubtful when people give other versions of what a RPG is.

Good to be have sane episodes in a world full of insane episodes.
