Hey everyone!

We have some exciting stuff for you this week in the patch notes!

Before we get to that though, lets talk a little bit about future updates. This is our penultimate patch, so barring anything surprising happening you can expect one more patch from us before we consider the game finished. That next patch will likely consist mostly of a large scale overhaul of our sound effects, along with any other minor fixes or improvements we implement over the next week.

This is our biggest patch yet with a new hat and a ton of various improvements!

• New Hat: The Party Hat!
  
• When used, the Party hat will push all nearby players away in a shower of confetti before granting you a random other hat.
  
• The Party hat has very low damage and finishing power, but it's wide range and ability to give you a new hat immediately makes it an appealing choice for chaining combos.

The kill-area bounds on the Crafting Desk stage were a little too tight. We've widened the playable area to allow players more opportunities to recover when knocked off the stage.

• Increased the playable area of the Crafting Desk stage. This increases how far off the stage you can go before you are killed.

• Increased the shadow quality at all quality levels through various different means.
  
• Further increased the shadow quality for the "High" quality setting.
  
• Added a post-processing effect which blurs parts of the screen. This is only enabled on the "High" quality setting.
  
• Made the visuals slightly more stylized in general through a post-processing effect.
  
• Added clouds to the background of the Arena maps.
  
• Fixed an issue where the interiors of many hats were see-through.
  
• Made the Bunny Hat more stylized.
  
• Lots of small tweaks to hat details.
  
• Replaced the hit VFX on hats that hadn't yet had it updated.
  
• Tweaked several of the animations.
  
• Replaced the old lance model with a sword on the Knight hat.

• Added a Credits screen.
  
• Updated the Controls screen.
  
• The game should run a little faster in general on most computers.
  
• Tweaked the bounds in the Lobby Menu to reduce the instances of players ending up stuck or ending up in positions where they couldn't be seen.
  
• Updated the level preview images.

• Fixed an issue where you could see the background through some loading screens and menus.

This is Akira Kurochi, the director of DEADCRAFT at Marvelous.

In this post, I will talk about how action and survival work in our game, and how crafting is at the foundation of everything.

Since the game is set in a post-apocalyptic world, I thought about what life would be like. I imagined a world where resources are scarce, food and water are difficult to come by, and even just surviving is a daily challenge.



We wanted to incorporate realistic gameplay elements that would make the struggle for survival feel more intense and desperate, such as expending energy when running and attacking, and becoming thirsty and hungry as time passes.

Although thirst and hunger do not kill you immediately, they do put you at a disadvantage: the screen becomes blurry with thirst and your character’s movement becomes slower with hunger. To prevent this from happening, players must always be thinking about their next meal, and remember to sleep to recover energy.

But just how can you obtain these items necessary for survival?



We thought about this question and decided that in addition to finding items or buying them at stores as you might in another game, it would make sense in this setting to be able to threaten the townsfolk and shopkeepers for their belongings.

Of course, you can’t do these things with impunity, and raising your notoriety can put a target on your back. Since NPCs also live in the same post-apocalyptic world, it is only natural that shopkeepers hire bodyguards to protect their business. You can fight for the items you want, or you can choose a more honest method of gathering resources and paying for those items instead. We hope you enjoy playing the game your way.

Finally, I would like to talk about crafting. This is the foundation of the game, so much so that we included it in the title.



You can craft all the food and drink you need to survive, and beyond meeting your basic needs there are even food items that grant powerful buffs.

You’ll also need a powerful arsenal to take on your enemies, and you can craft a wide variety of weapons from scratch, as well as upgrade everything in your collection. There are all kinds of weapons, from melee to long-range, so not only does crafting make you stronger, but it can also let you change up your playstyle. You can even create placeable items, such as automatic turrets to mow down large numbers of enemies, or grow a team of zombie companions to fight for you.

We hope that you will try making and using all kinds of items to survive the world of DEADCRAFT.

Akira Kurochi
DEADCRAFT Director
