Hello, Detectives!

Recently we have introduced you to Dafne Bennet, and she is not the only new character who is joining the Gamedec team!❤️



Meet Izmael Krostov; his story and life are rich in experience, let's take a look at his backstory:

Izmael didn't miss the land, and he didn't miss the City. Low, Mid, High, Under, doesn't matter. He didn't. He liked the sea. He liked the close quarters of his submarine, his crew, and his service. He spent almost fifty years on this craft, and he was closer to it than to any human. His submarine and the sea were the most important things in his life.
And then it all came to an end. Just like that. He was too old to stay in the army, they said. When he pointed out he was the best-damned technician they had, they didn't say anything. Didn't know what to say. They mumbled their apologies, their "thank-you-for-your-service" and sent him on his way back to the city he barely remembered.

Things he tried to escape when he joined the army as a teen: poverty, mob, Undercity, were right there, where he left them. Now there were new mobsters, sure, but they played the same role.
His family was gone, though, his older sisters and parents. He probably had nephews. He didn't want to look for them, though. Not yet. Not when he was lost in the city like trash thrown on the shore.

He looked for a job for a short while, but folks don't really want to hire old people, and even if they did, Izmael found it hard to follow someone's lead again. Why should he listen to someone who hadn't even had a rank?

He needed independence, one thing that he craved while in the army. He needed to be his own man, captain of his own ship, as it were. It's no wonder he became a gamedec, really.



Izmael has been through a lot... His experience designed his character; he is straight-forward, he relies on his excellent intuition when he is chasing his goals, and despite his age, he is full of energy! (keep this information in mind when you'll be using your aspect points)🔥

What do you think?🤔

Are you as excited for Izmael as we are?

Detectives!

We're excited to present you a first, brand new DLC character - Dafne Bennet joins the Gamedec roster 🔥



Let's get into her story, and it is interesting❗

Who did you want to be when you were a kid? A professional gamer playing the Goodabads wreaking havoc among the enemy ranks? A V-Runner with a great sense of justice catching bad guys? Or a famous actress bathing in glitz and glamour? Dafne Bennet was it all. She spent most of her childhood treasure hunting, fighting beasts, and solving mysteries. She lived through all the lives of heroes from holomovies and infolias… But not her own.

Growing up in High City, with a caretaker as her only friend, she dreamed about living outside her glass walls. With a rare medical ailment, she was already an outsider among her peers. Her parents' overprotectiveness made it even worse. With imagination at her disposal, she had the whole world at her fingertips. At the same time, she was banished from it.



Then finally, the experimental treatment worked. She got better; she could finally start living. She craved adventure. She explored everything within the city limits. She traveled to other human-made hubs. But still, she yearned for more. She wanted to see what lies behind the Anti-Bios Barrier separating wildlife from humans, so she tried to join the Out-Rangers, a special military group patrolling areas outside the ABB, but with her health record, that was not an option.



Dafne didn’t give up. She was a game mistress of her own story, and being a gamedec played right into her strengths. Visiting the virtual worlds, solving mysteries, and creating her own adventures were what she knew best. She quickly learned the ropes and got a few trusted clients. A cliché every cloud has a silver lining took on meaning for her because right now she was living the dream. She was needed, she was wanted, and most importantly, she could finally be herself.

What do you think? In our opinion, it's quite a story! To spice things up, we can tell you something more; Dafne is a very good listener; also, discretion is her thing and strength (you may want to consider that information when you'll be spending aspects points 😉)

With that much experience, she is a perfect candidate for Gamedec! ❤️

We are super excited, are you?

We're proud to announce that Gamedec has been nominated for Aggie Awards 2021 as Adventure Game in the "Best Gameplay" category 🔥

Although Gamedec is an isometric RPG focused on complex branching... many of you tag it's gameplay on Steam as a "choose your own adventure" variant. We can only thank you for seeing many unique aspects of the gameplay, going beyond the core genre ❤️



We're very excited about that, and most importantly, you can vote yourself by clicking the above picture or via this link: {LINK REMOVED}https://bit.ly/3JwQlv5

Hello Detectives!

Patch 1.4 is very close, so in the meantime, as 2021 was a busy year, we wanted to summarize what we have achieved and what we plan for 2022 🔥

What we did and things we are still working on:

1. Controller support - we know that it should be done for the premiere, and we apologize for the delay.
2. Localization issues – we have fixed major issues, and we’re constantly working on correcting the spelling errors; we’re thankful for every report we have received (you can submit any reports via our social media and discord)
3. We have fixed many of the bugs and glitches; since the premiere we have fixed 583 of them!
4. Improved audio in general.
5. Improved the overall game performance
6. and many more…



What is our plan for 2022?

Unfortunately, we can’t tell you much, but we want to leave with at least a little bit of information 😀

We have two more patches (and some hotfixes, of course) in plans; as we have mentioned that we’re working on the ending improvement. We'll continue to fix any further bugs, spelling issues, and any other things we can find and have been reported.

Localization – Traditional Chinese is very close, Korean and Turkish translations are on their way as well, we can’t provide you with a specific date, but we want to assure you that this topic is still on the table!

Switch – the port for Nintendo Switch is on its way as well; keep your eyes on our social media to be updated!

Two DLCs – one in the universe of Cthulhu and the second one in the universe of Seven: The Days Long Gone – more info coming in some time 😀



Once again, thank you for all your active assistance in improving Gamedec; without you, we wouldn’t be able to accomplish all of that ❤️
