We’re back with another update, and we’re excited to share some brand-new improvements that’ll enhance your Dead Season experience!

We’ve added an option to toggle the visibility of the tile grid, giving you more control over your gameplay environment. We’ve also introduced new animations for throwing items between survivors, adding a touch of flair to your teamwork. You’ll also notice a new particle effect when dismantling barricades, making those moments feel even more impactful.

We’ve made a major change to the quest item in “The Passage” mission. You’ll now need to find a Battering Ram to breach the door, which significantly reduces the chance of losing items at the start of the mission. Plus, we’ve improved the lighting on items in the item search dialogue.

On the bug-fixing front, we’ve resolved an issue with the animation of dismantling a barricade using a chainsaw, ensuring a smoother experience as you clear your path.

You can read the full patch notes here. As always, we’re eager to hear your thoughts on these updates! Your feedback is invaluable. Thank you for being a part of our community, and we hope you enjoy these new features!

Dear Survivors,

First and foremost, we want to thank you for the support this year. Releasing a game is an emotional rollercoaster – with some lows and some highs. For us, the highs greatly exceeded the lows, and we couldn’t have gotten this far without you.

This holiday season, we're excited to bring you a special offer! For a limited time, Dead Season is 25% off! If you haven't yet experienced the thrill of turn-based tactics in our zombie-infested world, now is the perfect time to dive in and test your mettle.

We wish you all a joyous holiday season filled with warmth, happiness, and memorable moments. May the new year bring you many exciting adventures!

It's been a few weeks since Dead Season released, and - as we’ve stated before - your feedback has not gone unnoticed. Today, we’re rolling out some updates to address some of your points and introduce a feature we’re excited about: controller support!

We are introducing revised difficulty levels on Easy and Normal, increased hit chances, reduced jamming chance, and more. This all to keep gameplay dynamic and give you survivors a better and more satisfying chance against the infected!

Additionally, we’ve also made some mission-specific changes to both Daymare and Helping Hand regarding the respective alarms at the end of these missions. These will now turn off after a set number of turns!

And finally, we’re bringing some quality-of-life improvements such as the introduction of Controller Support and Cloud Saves.

If you want to read a full break-down of the changes, you can read the detailed patch notes here.
As we continue to improve the game, we hope you enjoy these changes and new features! We’re excited to hear your feedback and see how it changes your Dead Season experience.

Dear survivors,

As we announced last week, we’ve been steadily working on improving Dead Season based on your post-launch reception. We’ve just rolled out a patch that addresses some of your feedback, especially relating to issues encountered by some players with AMD graphics cards.

After an in-depth study of the problem, we managed to address an issue preventing the game from starting on some of AMD graphics cards. If you're still experiencing issues running the game on an AMD card, please let us know on the Steam Discussions page or Discord so we can look into it! You can read the full patch notes here.

We’re committed to taking in your feedback and trying to make Dead Season as good as possible! As always, we’d appreciate you telling us what you thought of the game (and the changes we’re making) on Steam and on Discord!

Changes:

• Added the Ukrainian translation.
  
• Thugs in "High Voltage" now have 4 HP to make it more clear they're too strong to oppose them directly.

Bug fixes:

• Fixed: Madman in “Between Two Fires” can be shot with a rifle from the tile closest to the scrap grinder.
  
• Fixed: In “Between Two Fires”, with the help of an Energy Drink, it’s possible to reach the shipping container before the doors open, which will prevent a zombie from spawning.
  
• Fixed: The hourglass icon changes its position when the End Turn button is pressed.
  
• Fixed: In "Do or Die" objective indicator doesn't show how much fuel you need to siphon.
  
• Fixed: In "Do or Die" yellow markers don't disappear when enough fuel is collected.

It’s the morning after the night before – always a bit of an eye-opener for a publisher launching a new title.

Firstly, we want to say thanks to everyone who bought the game, and we are delighted that some people loved it!

Seeing your thoughts on Steam, Discord, and Social Media, good or bad, has been eye-opening and honestly humbling. It means you care, and that’s something we don’t take lightly.

We get that some felt like your feedback from the demo wasn’t taken on board, and we are sorry you feel that way.

We will be reworking some areas to better match some of your expectations. We will share other improvements as we progress, and we hope we can get DEAD SEASON to a place where it is fun for all of you.
