The year 2023 is coming to an end, the Christmas season has begun and we want to inform you about the progress of the next Dead Age RPG - [b]Dead Age: Survivors[/b]. The Dead Age series is of course also in the [b]Christmas sale.[/b] In case you missed part 1 or the lot improved Dead age 2. [b]Please add it to your wishlist[/b] https://store.steampowered.com/app/2117160/Dead_Age_Survivors/ You can also meet us in Discord: [url=https://discord.gg/5n6sdcJ][img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36253678/39e38a25d692d0b2acc5d73aeccccadae40d64d7.png[/img][/url] It's still a bit too early for new footage, we're in the process of changing the invisible "random battles" to a few random enemies on the map that move from round to round and can sometimes be dodged. Our new lead programmer Rao and Quest programmer Huaxia are part of the changed team from 2023 and both from China who are studying in Germany. [b]Fitting, because next to the USA and Germany, China is our largest part of the Dead Age playerbase.[/b] More infos about our team will come in the next news. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36253678/7bc7e4dbd0250256b819d32037f3d40aa1e1beef.png[/img] What else have we done? [b]An important part of the storyline is managed[/b] (some mean ideas ^^), many Ui, rooms in the base and and lots of loot locations. Human trafficking has been implemented to get the important random survivors with money or by using quests, which are needed for conquering territories and working in several bases. The very fast conquest system on the map is inspired by the classic [b]Defender of the Crown[/b], Me - Rayk, the designer, played it on Amiga 500 as a boy, who hardly wanted to go to school, but had plenty of Amiga games to play ;) . But there are numerous classes for the survivors so that they can be trained as soldiers or workers in the bases. But don't worry, [b]Dead Age: Survivors remains an RPG[/b] with the new new strategy features. In addition to the random survivors, there is of course also a group of heroes with storylines. [b]The portraits you can see are of the important story survivors Ava and Frank. [/b]- This time there will also be more conversations in the camp, as requested by many players. While Ava searches for his lost sister and brother, Frank has an even tougher fate, which will put his psyche to the test. This makes me realise that new values exist, [b]namely stress and motivation[/b]. While strokes of fate and bad decisions can lead to negative values, in new rooms, the regeneration with an indoor pool and massage benches can repair the stress value and [b]Trish's famous bar with lots of beer or wine repair the motivation[/b]. Just like in reality *cough*. Release for Dead Age: Survivors will be back on Early Access first and should be possible [b]by the end of 2024[/b], as long as we don't delay too much in the next features like the more complex combat. More on the combat will be revealed in a few months, then also more about new skills like[b] martial arts, axe and shield or two uzis[/b] Of course, we will keep you updated as we work. Thank you for your feedback. With your input, we hope to bring you Dead Age Survivors, the best Dead Age title yet, combining the strengths of its predecessors with new features and improvements. We will tell (and show) you more about [b]Dead Age: Survivors[/b] in the future - so make sure to follow the game and [b]add it to your wishlist. This would really help us a lot!
