  • The Angry Update - 12 April 2021

    Please work Hi everyone, Alec here. Dead has went through a rough patch last year, with FPS drops and peculiar bugs appearing. Well now, I'm bringing Dead through an actual patch bringing it up to version 6.0.0.0 Here's what's new: FPS issue fixed. This was caused by a Windows Update sometime ago but a new DLL included with the game maker files should fix this. Full screen issue fixed. At one point the full screen function didn't work. Now, it does. Alt-Dodge works Alt dodging didn't work on diagonals. Now it does. Unable to move in Puppeteer arena. I don't know what caused this but it's somehow fixed so let's just roll with it. Added "Unlock All Bosses" modifier. As controversial as this seems, I believe you own the copy of the game you bought. If you want to unlock all the bosses straight away so you can just enjoy the fights and try new tactics then that option is now available to yo…

  • Rolling back to 5.0.0.6 due to Puppeteer Bug - 12 April 2021

    Bizarrely, in the newest patch, you cannot move after entering the clock in the Puppeteer fight. Why? I have no idea. That is some black magic nonsense.

  • Pushing beta to live update - 11 April 2021

    Moving beta to default branch. I believe this will fix the FPS issue.

  • Beta Update 5.0.0.15 - 31 October 2020

    It's Halloween! Which means it's the perfect time to try fixing Dead. ːdeademberː I've updated the beta branch of Dead to 5.0.0.15. If you previously had issues with FPS please try it and let me know if you get a consistent 60 fps. Thank you! ~ Alec ːdeadhuskyː

  • Dead 5.0.0.6 - 29 May 2020

    ːdeadlabː I'm not proud about what I'm about to type but the Dead community is full of super kind and supportive people so I hope existing and new people understand. I want to be honest. I could not fix the FPS issue. I don't know what caused it and I tried so many different methods to resolve the issue, none of which worked. It's a total mystery and I'm going to have to take this as a big learning experience going forward with other games like Mini-Dead. So, Dead will be reverting to v5.0.0.6 and, unfortunately, I will not be able to update the game until I figure out this issue. This means any new bug fixes or features will have to reside in the branch at the risk of low FPS. The good news is that Dead will run at a silky smooth 60 fps by default. As far as I'm aware the only issue with 5.0.0.6 is the alternative dodge not full working when moving diagonally. I love Dead and it really…

  • Beta Testing Going Forward - 21 April 2020

    Here is what's going on right now and what's going to happen moving forward. How this started Back in version 5.0.0.6 everything was perfect except that dodging diagonally with the alt-dodge resulted in funky dodging. In an attempt to fix this I inadvertently broke the fullscreen function. God knows how. Current Version The current version has functioning fullscreen and alt-dodge. However, I'm getting reports of big FPS drops. I've been assuming that my updates are working which results in my doing lots of Steam announcements to versions that still have a tanked FPS. Going Forward I'm going to be working closely with community members to figure out what's going on. I'll be updating the branch. The plan is to keep working on the beta until it achieves silky smooth 60fps. Last Working Version You also have the option to rollback to version 5.0.0.6 by applying for the version in the Steam…

  • Update 5.0.0.9 - 18 April 2020

    So, before, Dead was split into the default branch and the beta branch. The default branch 5.0.0.6 meant the alternative dodge function did not work. The beta branch 5.0.0.7 meant the alternative doge worked but the full screen function did not. As a society we can all agree that this is dumb. Well, hopfully, this is fixed now with update 5.0.0.9! Please let me know if this doesn't work for you or if you experience any issues. Alternative Dodge will now work when going diagonal Fullscreen option now works. (Let me know if this results in stretching.) Unlock all Bosses option available as new game+ options If you are experiencing FPS issues please try the beta branch in your Steam settings and let me know if there is an improvement.

  • 5.0.0.7 Available as a Beta - 13 December 2019

    Big think going on here. Working on fixing this fullscreen bug and it's proving to be way harder than it deserves to be. For this reason, I'm going becoming corrupt. Version 5.0.0.6 of Dead is now the default. This means the alternative dodge will not work on diagonals but the fullscreen function will work. I feel this is a better trade off for the time being as I feel more people use fullscreen than the alt-dodge. Version 5.0.0.7 is available as a beta branch under . Thanks for sticking with me! ~ Alec

  • 5.0.0.6 Rollback Option in Beta Branches - 9 December 2019

    Some users have reported issues with the latest version 5.0.0.7. Issues include having a development mode unlocked and the fullscreen option causing stretching. If you are having similar issues you can now roll back to v5.0.0.6 in Steam. Simply right click on Dead in your Steam Library, navigate to Betas and choose "previous." Thanks to everyone reporting these issues. This is only a temporary fix until I can figure out a real solution.

  • Update 5.0.0.7 - 8 December 2019

    Sorry what? There's a Dead update? Yes there is. Only a small one. Alternative dodge now works on diagonals This somehow got through all these years. But yes, if you're the sort of person that uses the alternative dodge option then you can now dodge on diagonal directions. Unlock All Bosses If you have completed the game once then, included with new game modifiers, is the option to simply unlock all the bosses at once. This may also automatically give you the achievement for killing the bosses so er...be careful. Let me know.

  • For those that play Dead - 5 July 2019

    I just want to say thank you for every one that gives this game a go! I wish I could give a hearty message to each individual that leaves a screenshot or a review. Heck even if you didn't like it, it's just good to know someone has played it. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F28887838%2F96a89432f4fc30b04f0461092e892d5755e551bb.gif A few tips if you're struggling with Dead: The Silenced is my main. You can purchase 500 gems to skip bosses. Refund before 2 hours.

  • Discord Server - 8 December 2018

    INVITE LINK: https://discord.gg/3RvHuvh We have a Discord Server now! I'll be posting all progress on future projects (including Mini-Dead DLC.) This will be the place if you want see secret things, beta test our games or talk about dumb stuff. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F28887838%2Fef146dd6667800411f23aa9bc9f6a613b6f8d4ef.png

  • Poorly Drawn Hands and Dead 2 Concepts - 13 November 2018

    https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F28887838%2F804328313a54f6144e738483d67bc1ca57d35bd0.jpg Thought I'd share something with you. This is not an announcement for Dead 2 but one can't help but think about what it'd be like. I had an idea for it a while ago and here's some dumb drawings I did in my work book. What would make Dead 2 different from the first? HANDS! THEY HAVE HANDS NOW. Something to note. These bosses weren't just drawn up willy nilly. On another page is their move sets and backstories all detailed out. Their designs are out of functionality and what is fun to play against, instead of what looks cool. In other news we'll be releasing a new game soon! By "soon" I mean, like, no more than a few days from now. We've been working on this one for a while and it'll be free! It's pretty neat. Keep watching.

  • Halloween Sale! 50% Off Dead - 30 October 2018

To quote the halloween ghosts "That's a spooky bit of value right there!" What game is more fitting to play on the spookiest day of the year than one about big scary faces that want to kill you? The ghosts and gouls of the underworld surface to Earth once a year. Spend your time wisely. Cuddle up with a demon and play a game where you shoot big bosses in big boss fights yeah? Yeah. :deadember::deadspectre:
