Hello Friends,

This is a small patch that brings German localisations to Playne, thanks to @Thomary + @Sanugia + @Knoll :)

Much Love,
Krish.

Dear survivors,

I want to give you more detailed information about the further development from Dead Age 1 to Dead Age 2 in this and the upcoming updates.

It is rare that indie titles get successors and even rarer that the successors are more successful than their predecessors. Often because predecessors and successors are too similar. That's why we can proudly say that we have added so many new ideas and features that will make Dead Age 2 a completely new experience! This update is all about technology.


Dead Age 2 has over 7GB of files, which is more than 4 times the size of Dead Age 1. That’s needed for the many, many 3D scenarios which are also scrollable, a lot more enemies, and also a lot of NPCs and quest givers matching the three factions, which are spread everywhere in the areas from Dead Age 2.




Also with the soundtrack of Sven Gerlach, we have 21 tracks by now which is a lot for an indie title. The tracks are great and we will probably also have a soundtrack DLC I think. This soundtrack really deserves it!




In contrast to part 1, we were able to work with motion capture for some animations, so that the animations look much more realistic. We also spent a lot of time with the outposts, to make them feel vivid as you explore them. The successful wishlisting from your side, brought us additional animations which provide for more variety:



Also new are the animated portraits which breathe more life into the characters, as there are significantly more quests and dialogues in Dead Age 2.


We use many of the most important techniques, such as SSAO and Depth of Field, to look more modern here as well.



Overall, our 4-person Silent Dreams team has worked hard to ensure that you are graphically and acoustically satisfied. In the update next week you will learn more about the many new gameplay features.


What is more to say? Oh, we are really close to our next wishlist goal: With 30,000 wishes you will unlock 10 additional zombies to the world of Dead Age 2!

Meanwhile, be sure to join the other survivors on our Dead Age Discord channel!

All the best and stay healthy!
Rayk & the Silent Dreams Team

Greetings, my plump little muffins. We put out a quick patch just now with some small but notable changes!

• Fixed a rare crash that can occur when dying at the exact moment an enemy spawns.
  
• Saves should now always properly update as you play, not just when you close the game.
  
• Added a Hints notification if you die to the same thing a few times.
  
• Decreased the hitbox on the Targets found in the Chocco & Pugnacious boss fight.
  
• Lowered a beater found in the C&P boss fight to stop some frustrating deaths.

Let us know if you encounter any odd issues with anything!

Dear all players:

After staying up for days, we made Users' Interfaces in our game much more player-friendly and reliable. That's the reason that we've been a little bit quite these days, and we are sorry for that. However, we read and talk about every single feedback from you and fix corresponding problems. Hope you can still stick with us.

Patch Note V0.11:
- fixed plenty of problems with stuck UI

- now UI hints support custom key settings

- completed translation of English texts in game

- added some basic tutorial based on default key settings

- fixed collider issues in scene (mostly in Sewer stage)

- improved the animation of Odachi's parry, now its hitbox and effective time is much clearer

Following plan:
- keep balancing & improving the animations of players and weapons

- balance the performance of enemies and bosses

- improving feedback of attack (long-term task)

- improving stage design, add some depth of field and perspective (long-term task)


We are also developing our new stage Abandoned Palace. We will publish some images/video about it at a proper time. Thanks for your waiting!

Hey guys,

It is true that we have postponed Dark Moon and it is a decision that had to be made. We apologize if you feel disappointed with this news, but if it is any consolation, Dark Moon is going to be a much better game as it will now receive some additional time to further make this game a great experience. We value your feedback and we know you have great expectations from this game - that's why we want to continue on working on the game knowing we have more time to make it that much more satisfying - after all - a game's launch day is only once. So we want to make this right!

Please understand our decision, as this small hinderance will make our great that much better, and that should be a mutual goal for all of us. As soon as we have some good news about the release date we will definitely let you all know!

Thank you for your continuous support and we hope you will stick around with us some more!

Take care everyone!

Make Your Kingdom: Prologue is finally out on Steam! This is an alpha demo which is free and available for download right now! Have fun playing and don't forget to share your progress and feedback with us!
