- Update 24 - Holiday Update - 21 December 2024
Hi there I've released a small update which adds the Air Drop feature and Steam Achievements. Air Drops Added air drops. You can receive Air Drop Flares as rewards occasionally from The Wave or from Storm Warriors. After the flare is deployed, wait a moment and an emergency air drop will be called to that location. Achievements Steam Achievements have been added! Have fun exploring the world and completing these challenges. The artwork was created by artist Sara Fernández. Check out her other work here: https://www.artstation.com/sifdibuja Remaining Patch Notes All recruitment boards are now active instead of just one. It was a common pain point that the recruitment boards were too hard to find. Added information that explains how far away the board is from refreshing and a recruit from arriving. Fixed a bug where the survivor recruitment board could show negative values. Increased the…
- Update 23 - Fixes, Balance & New Support Abilities - 16 September 2024
Hi there I've released a small update to address some feedback since the launch. I've receive a ton of feedback, with some people drawing attention to bugs and common pain points. Thanks for this support! New Support Ability: Focus Listen closely and try to locate any potential nearby threats. When a survivor does this, the approximate locations of threats will be revealed in a short radius. This is useful for approaching areas with limited visibility. Focus costs 1 ability token and is available in low tier workshops, so it is a very accessible ability. The 'scavenger' preset survivor starts the game with this ability. New Support Ability: Prepare Ends the survivor's turn. One action point is spent preparing. After that, any remaining action points will be transferred to the next turn. Useful for tactically distributing your actions - there are often situations where you can wait a tur…
- Undeadly Full Launch - 26 June 2024
Hi there! Undeadly has now launched from Early Access into Full Release! Thanks for following along this journey. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1646070/Undeadly To mark the occasion, here is an update which adds exciting new features. Let's dive in. The World Storm An ominous storm approaches on the horizon. The World Storm is a cyclical event where surreal weather engulfs the map. Being exposed to the World Storm is dangerous. Survivors will need to use gas masks and take shelter indoors to avoid the effects of the storm. Some zombies become enraged. This means they are aggressive throughout the day-night cycle, instead of aggressive only during the night like usual. The World Storm will also create Storm Warriors. These zombies are only active during the storm and represent a new tier of difficult zombies. The World Storm arrives in phases, with different intensities. At the high…

- Update #21 - Shock & Awe - 27 May 2024
Hi there! Update #21 adds new dangers and opportunities themed around electric damage. New Hazard: Electricity Status Description The electric hazard lasts two turns and deals 15 base damage per turn. Unlike the fire, gas and bleed hazards, there is no way for a survivor to mitigate the electric hazard. Zombies with armour will take an extra 20% penetration damage when hit with electricity. This reinforces the gameplay role of electric damage; it is extra effective against armoured zombies. New Mobile Rift: Tesla Rift This new rift acts in a similar way to the mobile Putrid and Inferno Rifts. The Tesla Rift is comparatively larger than the other mobile rifts and moves faster. This is balanced by the electric hazard being shorter lived, so the 'tail' of hazards left behind is shorter for a Tesla Rift. These rifts starting appearing close to day 6. New Zombie: Electric Zombie Electric zom…

The salvage faster ability also increases the speed a survivor will clear objects. Automated Actions Survivors will automatically progress actions to completion when scavenging, salvaging, or clearing objects. You can see that a survivor is automated as they have different action point icons. You can cancel the automation by moving the survivor or by using equipment. You will still see all regular camera events while automated, so for e…

Hi there! I'm excited to release an update that focuses on extending the melee system by adding new status effects and new weapons. Let's dive in! Melee Extensions Status Description Stun - Zombies that are stunned cannot move. Blunt melee weapons have a moderate chance to stun. Decapitation - When attacking a zombie with a headshot, there is a chance the zombie will be decapitated. Bladed weapons are most suited to this task. Kneecapping - A zombie that is kneecapped will instantly become a crawler regardless of remaining health. Some blunt melee weapons have a moderate chance to kneecap zombies. New Weapons Three new weapons have been added. Check them out! Weapon Rebalances Existing melee weapons have had decapitation and kneecapping chances added where applicable. Some weapons have been tuned. Weapon Changes Axe Decapitation => 70% Bat (wire) Damage to Stun => 40% Kneecap => 30% Cro…

- Blood & Flame (Part 2) - 15 July 2023
Hi there! I'm excited to release Part 2 of the first major update to Undeadly. Inferno Rift This mobile rift moves around in a zig-zag pattern, is able to phase through walls and leaves behind a dense trail of fire. New Event: Inferno Beam A random Flux Beam will now have a chance to turn into an Inferno Beam. This beam will spawn inferno zombies and inferno rifts. An Inferno Beam can only be disabled if all the fiery beacons surrounding it are destroyed. Residential District Expansion The Residential District has been expanded westwards.

- Blood & Flame (Part 1) - 30 June 2023
Hi there! I'm excited to release Part 1 of the first major update to Undeadly. Let's dive in! Inferno Zombie Inferno zombies are a tough new variant. Inferno Zombies leave behind a trail of fire as they move, have increased health and immunity to fire. They rarely spawn during normal gameplay but will have a stronger presence in Part 2. New Hazards: Bleeding & Puncture Bleeding Puncture Bleeds cause 6 damage every turn and last 9 turns. This makes the targeted unit move 1 tile less per action point for 5 turns. Like with fire and toxic gas, a bleeding survivor can spend action points to reduce the bleed timer. A punctured survivor has no mitigation opportunity. Some ammo modules, utility modules and weapons now have a chance to cause bleeds. The new 'Spike' payload gives the puncture hazard. Some zombies have a chance to give a survivor a bleed when they attack. New Utility Payload: Spi…
