Only feasts get caught face-to-face…

Generally, there’s been a lot of progress in all areas of Deathground since we dropped the gameplay teaser trailer. But as we put our raptors at the forefront, we’ve been cleaning up their animations the most. We’ve been busy creating a range of new ones for different behaviours and tricky situations you might find yourself in. Our animator has recently been focusing on reactive behaviours. From hearing sounds they might be sensitive to i.e. an obnoxiously loud alarm, to curiously sniffing the air for a nearby scent. Take a look.


“Something bigger than me is coming…”


Delicious prey or a dangerous predator? *Sniff, sniff*


Loud alarms can irritate and disorientate the raptors.

Whether they’re hunting or being hunted themselves, what other behaviours would you love to see, building the most immersive feeling in gameplay?

Q: Is this the final colour palette for Deathground’s dinos?
A: Aside from polish and optimisations to come, the art side of our dinosaurs is d o n e. It's one of those areas where we could keep working on it. Future iterations may follow, but for us, the gameplay elements are top priority now. Please note that a lot of the teaser images shown have had additional lighting to showcase them; however, with the actual lighting in-game, you're not going to see much of their colourings really. You will have a sense of their size in the shadows or of course if you're chaotic enough to shine a torch directly at them! Shouldn’t you be running the other way?! Naturally, we're not going to be able to appease everyone's taste but we hope most of you like what you see.

Q: Will we be able to toggle the feathers off of the dinos?
A: We understand the topic causes quite a debate! That said, while it might not be an option from day one, we still want to accommodate toggleable feathers. At the moment, the Compy and UtahRaptor will default to having feathers, and the T-Rex and Allosaurus will Default to having scales.

Q: When will the next update be?
A: We appreciate many of you have been asking for more progress updates. Our Community Manager has recently returned from Maternity Leave and will be helping us get more updates rolling again. That means more behind-the-scenes on here, Kickstarter and our social media.

Q: Is there any Beta testing going on for this game?
A: As Deathground started as a Kickstarter campaign, we will be reaching out to our Kickstarter backers (who have pledged for pre-release access rewards) to help us with Alpha/Beta playtesting in the coming months. If you’re a backer, please check out the latest Kickstarter update for the updated roadmap!

Q: When is this game coming out?!
A: Once we’ve worked through the Alpha/Beta testing period this year, we’ll be in a better position to tell you when our release window is leaning towards. Until then, watch this space for monthly updates and sneak peeks on what we’re working on.

In case you missed some of our latest sneak peek posts, check out our Utahraptor searching for their missing egg and the human who stole it. Plus coming across a Compy within the vents.

Thank you for your extended patience with us while we continue developing and massive thanks to our Discord server MODS for their additional support during our Community Manager’s time away too!

Got any more questions about how our dinos look and behave? Hit us up in the comments or join us and the rest of the community over on Discord. (Don’t forget, you can also find and follow us on Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter and TikTok.)

More news coming soon!

New Survivor Perks

Mirrored Illusion
This perk activates after completing a total of 50% worth of repair progress on generators.
Press the ability button 2 when next to a totem, chest, generator or exit gate to spawn a static illusion that lasts for 100/110/120 seconds.
Then, the perk deactivates.
Bardic Inspiration
Press the ability button 1 while standing and motionless to enter the "performance" interaction that lasts up to 15 seconds and empowers Survivors within 16 meters. Roll a d20. This effect lasts for 90 seconds if the performance is completed.
When the ability is cancelled or the performance completes, it goes on cooldown for 110/100/90 seconds.

• 1 | You scream, but nothing happens
  
• 2-10 | skill checks give +1% progress
  
• 11-19 | skill checks give +2% progress
  
• 20 | skill checks give +3% progress

Still Sight
After standing still for 6/5/4 seconds, this perk activates.
Until you start moving, you see the aura of the Killer as well as all generators and chests within 24 meters.

Killer Power
Bound with the skin and flesh of men, the Book is packed with spells both forbidden and wicked.
To select a Spell, hold the Ability Button to open the Spell selection. The Lich has access to 4 different Spells:

• Mage Hand: Creates a magical hand that lifts a downed pallet or blocks an upright pallet for 4 seconds.
  
• Flight of the Damned: Conjures 5 flying spectral entities that can pass through obstacles and injure Survivors.
  
• Dispelling Sphere: Casts a moving invisible sphere that reveals Survivors and temporarily disables their Magic Items.
  
• Fly: Gain a flying speed for a short period of time, allowing you to travel a long distance quickly and move over vaults and pallets.

SPECIAL ITEM: MAGIC ITEMS
Treasure Chests found around the map can contain Magic Items. Each Survivor can equip up to two Magic Items at once: one pair of Boots and one pair of Gauntlets. These Magic Items are each connected to a specific Spell, and activate when The Lich casts that spell.

• Boots/Gauntlets of the Interloper: The Survivor sees the aura of pallets affected by Mage Hand and gains Haste for 3 seconds.
  
• Boots/Gauntlets of the Nightwatch: The Survivor can see the auras of the spectral entities conjured by Flight of the Damned.
  
• Boots/Gauntlets of the Archivist: The Survivor can see the Dispelling Sphere.
  
• Boots/Gauntlets of the Skyguard: The Survivor can see The Lich's aura during Fly and for a few seconds after.

SPECIAL ITEMS: HAND & EYE OF VECNA
Rarely, Survivors can instead find the Hand or Eye of Vecna in a Treasure Chest. When picked up and used, Survivors gain a special ability while at full health. Using one of these special abilities costs the Survivor a health state and reveals their location with Killer Instinct for 3 seconds.

• Hand of Vecna: When doing a Fast Locker Entry, the Survivor is teleported to a further locker.
  
• Eye of Vecna: When doing a Fast Locker Exit, the Survivor cannot be seen by The Lich and gains Haste for 15 seconds.

New Killer Perks

When a Survivor picks up a Survivor item, they suffer the Oblivious status effect for 20/25/30 seconds.
Oblivious prevents Survivors from hearing or being affected by the Killer's Terror Radius.
Languid Touch
When a Survivor within 36 meters of you scares a crow, they gain the Exhausted status effect for 6/8/10 seconds.
This perk has a 20-second cooldown.
Exhausted prevents Survivors from activating exhausting perks.
Dark Arrogance

亲爱的玩家：

官方将于2024年6月3日（星期一）23:00起对《梦三国2》长生殿大区的军团齐心购功能以及红包功能进行升级维护，维护期间功能将关闭，给大家带来不便敬请谅解！

《梦三国》运营团队
2024年6月3日(星期一）

The day we've been anxiously waiting for in here – Kaiserpunk demo version is now available to everyone!

You are all invited to download the free demo and give it a try! We'd really love to hear your thoughts and feedback. Kaiserpunk is pretty unique in many aspects, so best reference point for future development will be your honest reactions. As the game includes features from two genres – city builder & grand strategy, we'd be happy to hear what you think on both. Our effort was aimed at allowing demo to span long enough to open up, at least to a degree, access to features from both genres. Let us know how you like it, what is good or what could be better.



As lines of communication you can use Steam community forums directly, or reach us on our socials:

DISCORD: https://discord.gg/QYfASavwuK

X: https://x.com/Overseer_Games

REDDIT: https://www.reddit.com/r/Kaiserpunk/

FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556840395234


We've been working really tirelessly for the last few months at assembling this demo. It's currently in alpha stage, so please accept our apologies about possible bugs or missing features. Aim was to include your direct experience as soon as possible and gather enough information to set priorities in remaining development time. Due to its hybrid concept, Kaiserpunk is an undiscovered country for us too, but it is a type of game we wanted to create for a long time: a creative city building experience that will allow players to also export their success to a global stage and reshape the history in a better way.


Current demo version of Kaiserpunk is limited at 4 hours of gameplay in a single playsession. You can, though, start as many new games as you'd like. So, if you want to try out different styles of play, you can. Perhaps you want to restrict yourself to your own starting region and build yourself up to be the envy or everyone…or you want to go bananas and equip a strong military to stretch your influence by shere might?



Demo includes big portion of city building part of the game: city building mechanics, tier 1 & tier 2 buildings, starting heritage selection, resource management, a lot of production chains, military production and army creation, various ingame stories with branching possibilities, population system, functional save & load… This element of game will be familiar to majority of players, especially people well versed in Anno games. On grand strategy part of game, demo includes access to world regions via global map, creation and deployment of multiple armies, attacking and conquering hostile territories, defending and building improvements to controlled regions, adversary regions AI etc…


Given the current development state of Kaiserpunk, there are still a lot to add ofcourse. Keep in mind that adding these features (and some of them are big ones), will also require a revamping and upgrades to many already existing features. In the future you can expect fully developed starting options – choice between manually crafted map and generated maps, then multiple different biomes, addition of the entire trading and diplomacy systems, highly upgraded AI for enemies, more detailed management of occupied/controlled regions, longer and detailed stories, many more events, upgraded combat system, al remaining tiers of buildings etc…


That is pretty complicated thing to elaborate, because Kaiserpunk is an open type game. We tried to make as little restrictions as possible, but that also means there are countless ways you can achieve success (or fail).
Some of the general good practices would include careful thinking about moves you're planning. We don't advise rushing ahead carelessly. If you're about to embark on a conquest spree, make sure you have a strategic plan in place. Prepare your armies, ensure proper logistics and reinforcements, and most important of all – have a plan what to do with a region once you seize it. Mindless charging might bring you combat victories, but conquered territories can become a social and economic burden if you don't manage them properly after battle is over.
Your city is the main HQ of your success. Tend to it carefully and make it the most successful it can be. That will spill over to global success later on.
Current demo has a tutorial, hints and the entire encyclopedia divided into topics. Follow them if you need any additional information or strategic guidance.




The goal of our entire effort was to deliver a good, engaging and fun experience. Challenge is, in our view, also part of a good gaming experience. Kaiserpunk has all of that, and now needs players to bring it alive. Ofcourse it also needs a lot of work too, but that will come one way or the other. For now, just download it, have fun and try to imagine where the game will be once everything planned is finished. Every piece of feedback and every suggestion will help us get there easier, or possibly with a few more cool pieces to it ːsteamhappyː

Enjoy Kaiserpunk and if you like where it's going, FOLLOW the game and put it to your WISHLIST!

Hey - Dev Here

Do you remember the Freedom Games Publisher Sale from April? Maybe some of you have noticed that Waifu popped up on the wishlist recommendations among all the other cool games. In storytelling we like to call this "Setup and Payoff" - a subtle hint being given in the story to prepare for a much more awesome impact later on. That wishlist recommendation was the Setup and today is the Payoff: Flying Realms and Indie.io (Which, was Freedom Games during the last publisher sale - What a plot twist!) are friends now!

Actually, we have been working together for a few months now and the folks at Indie.io helped a lot with the development of Waifu. We got some good reality checks on the current state of the game and a lot of in-depth insights from the many testing sessions. We can now focus more on the development, while Indie.io takes care of marketing, more testing and general quality assurance, before we drop new builds.

We will also stay in contact with you. There will still be the occasional status updates here and we are still busy on the discord server to answer all your questions and read your feedback.

Well... it's quite a crazy ride having a pony-tentacle game out in the wilderness. And it's great to have you all with us.

And additionally to that - We also have an update for you:

• Boost and Dodge are now merged. You can use dodge anytime now and adjusted tutorials accordingly.
  
• Level 03 is easier now.
  
• Level 04 is more difficult to act as a proper boss fight.
  
• Also adjusted the monster layout in level 04 to no longer have the monster end up in situation, where it is super difficult to destroy.
  
• You do no longer need to equip specific waifus in a few levels to have the monster drop a memento slot upgrade. A high enough Dread value is enough.
  
• Swapped the order of the charged shot and rapid fire tutorial.
  
• Tutorial for absorbing bullets does no longer lose progression when you shoot.
  
• Added a Senpai tutorial, which gives you hints and reminders after each level. This is temporary until the house gets a general overhaul in size and handling.
  
• Fixed a small error, where the crosshair was always too far away.
  
• Improved the behavior for the Apply and Back buttons in the options menu.
  
• Black fades are a bit smoother and prevent the playfield from suddenly flashing in.
  
• Fixed an error where the selected display was not kept between game starts.
  
• Added an extra check for the digging mode to hopefully always stop digging eventually.
