- fix for quest lines was not wrapping making it unreadable

Hello survivors,

today our playtest round #4 is ending. Thank you so much for taking part. We received over 3.000 completed feedback forms and at times had over 400 players at the same time. Almost 100 ideas were added to opendecks by the community. Feel free to take a look.


We are very pleased that the gameplay experience was already smooth and stable for the vast majority of you – this is great validation for our work so far. At the same time, we are grateful for the reports of crashes and other issues that some players encountered. This is precisely the purpose of a playtest: to identify these hurdles early on and iron them out, ensuring the demo and the full release offer an even better experience.

Thanks to your help, we were able to deploy a total of five patches and hotfixes during the testing phase. Our primary focus was on improving stability and performance, but we also implemented requested quality-of-life enhancements such as map stats on the loading screen, inventory access at the merchant and an overhaul for the item tooltips.

i. Optimizations/Fixes

Devlogs are posts that we plan to publish weekly to share the decisions we make and the current state of development with our community.
In some cases, we might post more frequently for major updates, or every two weeks if the development process slows down.
We will also announce events 🎪 and sale weeks 🛍️ through devlogs.




We have added a card system to increase the game's strategic depth and allow players to bluff.
At the beginning of each round, random cards are dealt to each player.
70% of the dealt cards are blank, and only 30% contain special abilities.
Players do not know which cards other players have.
When a player shoots (whether they kill or not), new cards are dealt and the game continues until only one player remains.

Current special cards in the game:
⚔️ Sword: Makes the player who shot at you accidentally shoot themselves.
🛡️ Shield: Even if the player who shot at you hits, you survive.

More cards will be added in future updates.

Cards first spawn openly in the center of the table.
They are then stacked and shuffled together with an animation.
After that, the cards are randomly distributed to players.
The leftover deck disappears using a dissolve shader. ✨



Used cards are also destroyed with a dissolve shader.



Fixed a bug where a dead player could still be selected as a target.

Added physics to chairs. Now when a player dies, their chair also falls over. 🪑💥

Fixed a bug where the game would freeze if no points were scored in the first round.

Fixed the issue where the game could be started with only one player in the lobby. Now at least 2 players are required. (sorry 😅)

UI elements have been redesigned for better readability and moved from the bottom to the top of the screen.

That's all for this week's updates and fixes!
Don't forget to support us and share your feedback in the comments. 💬
Thank you! 🙌
