Dead In Vinland - b.laverny
Hello survivors!

Wow, the last blogpost was written... almost 3 years ago, and Dead in Vinland will celebrate its seventh anniversary next month, how time flies!

Back then, we had done a small announcement: that the "Dead in" series would continue.

Aaaaand... SURPRISE!

We've just announced Dead in Antares, the third episode of the "Dead in" series, and this time, we're going to space!

For the occasion, Matt, the creative director of the series, wrote a little blogpost to celebrate the announcement:

So yeah: bigger, better. Basically, this episode will be the culmination of 10 years as indie developers since we released Dead in Bermuda.

But you will still find what you loved about the previous games: hardcore survival/management mechanics, RPG features, strong narration, beautiful hand-drawn art, memorable characters... Just even better than Vinland ;)

So, if you're excited about Dead in Antares, please don't forget to add it to your wishlist, as it's super helpful for us developers!

Well, we kept our promise, didn't we? ;)

"Four years! It's been four years since you first set foot on this beautiful island to build a new home. You made allies along the way, learned new things and started to live again."



Today, we celebrate the fourth year of Dead in Vinland with you. Thank you for playing, skål everyone!
On a final note, a lot of fans asked us about the future of Dead In and we wanted to tell you that we will absolutely continue the series!

Hello survivors!

Long time no see! We hope you're doing fine, despite... pretty much everything that happened this year!

We won't take too long of your time with this short blogpost, but we wanted to let you know that we've just released a prologue for our next game: The Last Spell!

The Last Spell is a tactical RPG with roguelite elements. During the days, you’ll have to carefully choose how you will re-build your city and how you’ll position your defenses. Will you prioritize buying a brand new flaming sword, or build a Mana Well to regenerate some priceless Mana after battles?

During night, you’ll have to exterminate all the monsters coming at your walls with a large range of weapons and powers. Level up your heroes, and repeat until the end.


We know, we like games with day/night phases. If you like tactical RPGs, you might like this one ;)

Here's the page if you want to try it!

And here's a small trailer we made for the occasion!

Hello Dear Villagers,

If you currently live in the US, in Europe or in many other countries facing the Covid 19 crisis, you are (and you should be) stuck at home. Our Dear Villagers team is also staying safe home since last Monday, working remotely on our upcoming projects.

Many of you are taking advantage of this very strange times to play games, so are we! So we decided to bring a tiny bit of support and start a special “Stay Home Sale” in order to grant access to our games at a very affordable price including:

Hello survivors,
we hope you're okay!
As for us, it's summer here, but today it's so cold it feels like it's already autumn... Well, at least it's not Drought ;)

Since early 2019, we had actually divided our team into two smaller teams:
  • One team that kept on working on Dead in Vinland, especially for the DLCs, the bug fixes, implementing new languages...
  • One team that has been working on our brand new game!

We released Dead in Vinland more than a year ago (April 2018), and since then, we've kept on working on it for more than a year.
We’ve released 3 DLCs, made a lot of free patches too which enhanced quite a lot the overall experience (ie. ultra detailed difficulty starting options for the game, a cool hotbar for tracking important items, sorting options in the character bar, fast-forward options and rapid share the food/water interactions). We also released the game on Nintendo Switch a few weeks ago, it’s an accomplishment for the studio because it’s our first game showing on console!

Now, we like how the game is, and we're happy to officially announce our new game:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1105670/The_Last_Spell/

What if Final Fantasy Tactics & Dynasty Warriors had an illegitimate daughter?

The Last Spell is a turn-based tactical RPG immersed in roguelite mechanics in which you lead a team of hardened heroes to defend the last bastion of humanity against hordes of monsters.

As you have noticed, it's not a new "Dead in". Don't fret, we want a new "Dead in" to happen in the future! However, we wanted to do something different this time. We're big fans of Tactical RPGs, and we've been thinking about this project for quite a long time now, and we're very happy to be working on it now!

We are so grateful to all of you for supporting Dead in Vinland with us, you're all the best <3

If you want to stay with us for this new adventure, don't hesitate to wishlist The Last Spell! We're a small indie studio, so wishlists are very helpful for us, and you'll be the first to know about the latest news!

Happy surviving!

Hello survivors!
This is IT! The final DLC for Dead In Vinland is finally available!



One thing that we love in games with a group of many characters is the interactions between those characters!

It's very annoying for us to see RPGs with a party of 8 people who never seem to talk to each other.




Games like the "Tales of" series handle very well those relations with the little skits that show conversations between the characters, whether it's about the main story, or about their every day life in their journey!

Even though we were happy with the dialogues with the main family in Dead In Vinland, we wanted to go even further with this new DLC, and answer the question "What could those two say to each other"



Obviously, there are characters who would have a very hard time liking each other, considering their story and their personality. However, there are characters who might find out they have more in common than they had thought...



We added nearly 100 new dialogues between the secondary characters

  • More drama!
  • 3 new romances, and 3 new endings!
  • New traits!
  • New decisions to make!

There is AT LEAST one dialogue between each secondary character! :)

New language!

Thanks to our awesome community translators Siodog and Damian, Dead In Vinland now fully supports:
  • Spanish (Latin America) - Community Translation. Thanks A LOT to Damian and Siodog!

We also want to thank our AWESOME community translators who worked hard on translating the many new dialogues in the DLC: Faera, Kerrael, Mr Orochimaru, you are the best! <3



1.4 Patch

In this 1.4 Patch, there are 2 new romances/endings with the main characters!
Also:
  • Added a dozen of new free dialogues corresponding to 2 new romances/endings
  • Tweaked the order of apparition of bosses in enemies stacks for Heodening Mode
  • Corrected some bugs inserted with the previous patch (character bio, character orders and the achievement "Nobody Will be Left Behind")
