iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Awesome! I made a press kit earlier, but the game was changing so fast it became outdated almost immediately. So I've decided to focus on the playtest first, then I'm gonna rebuild the press kit around the version people will actually play. I prefer doing things properly or not at all.

I'm actually preparing a playtest right now, and I would love to hear your feedback once it's ready. You can sign up at deadtale.com and I will make sure to keep you in mind when the playtest opens. And once the game is further along, I'd definitely be up for an interview too 🫡

Hell yea, appreciate that. Awesome how you caught on to the horde behaviour! The good old conga line of enemies gets boring real quick, so I spent a lot of time making them react to each other and the environment. The crawler who got me has even more tricks up his sleeve: bsky.app/profile/dead...

I'm not sure I understand what you mean? The game is in active development, and a free steam playtest will drop soon, but there is no playable link to try it out.

Thanks! Nice reel too, impressive work you've made. This is just a skill test scene, but Deadtale is not early days anymore - on the contrary, a free Steam playtest is coming soon, and you are welcome to join. If I need custom animation work later, I'll keep you in mind.

When I first started building my game, I asked myself: What if I made a procedural world with hand-crafted locations that are actually fun and challenging to explore? Not in my wildest imagination could I have guessed how much optimization it would take to make that run smoothly.

The only thing higher priority than optimization is making the game fun and challenging. Fun, challenge, performance. Those 3 boxes stay checked all the way to release.

Yea exactly, it works perfectly as a hail-mary when you're cornered with empty mags. It's not a full weapon swap. Overdrive Systems like Cleave Beam run alongside movement and weapons, so you can move, shoot, reload, or dodge while using it.
