A couple of weeks have passed since the release of our game, during of which we've seen tons of positive reactions and complimentary reviews. It's like watching our kid go off to college and see him getting straight A's! We are very proud of it, but even prouder of you. We've been very lucky to have such a loyal, enthusiastic community. Thank you for everything you're doing for us!

We are well aware of the fact that our game is far from perfect. However, we constantly monitor all the feedback and we use your tips and suggestions not only to improve Dead Effect 1, but also to give us an idea of what to steer clear from in our future projects. Your help is invaluable - our mission is to create games that you, our audience, will enjoy.

We are not an AAA studio and all you can see is the work of a very small team of very dedicated people. This is something that some of the less favourable reviews forget about - we do not have the backing of a large sponsor or lots of staff, and all this has taken lots of blood (literally), toil, tears, and sweat. Still, being compared to AAA titles is something we have never even dreamed of, and it's a great boost of confidence to us. We promise to keep up the good work, and we hope we can enlist your help in the future as well.

Thank you, you're the best!

Sincerely,
BadFly team

Well, it's live. The biggest update to the game since Fractured Space hit Early Access last year. We've detailed the update in full below, but there's a lot to check out. We've also rolled out a huge promotion for the game - with 25% off the game - meaning there's no better time to get your friends into the game (and then swiftly blast them out of space with your superior skills).

The full list of changes, updates and additions can be found - in full - below:
