- The Perished City - 26 June 2025
Welcome to the Perished City! In a city marred by time a searching woman found a place, infested. Her ailing body took root and healed, and soon she began providing. The people, accepting her offerings, built a temple in her honor. She became what was heralded, a beacon of care, a mother. This major update brings you new locations, new quests, new characters, new enemies, and more. We hope you'll enjoy this. Your old save games should be compatible with this update. For convenience there's also a shortcut from the main menu that lets anyone jump straight into the city content. If you stumble over any issue, please let us know, preferably via the F1 in-game feedback tool which helps us with some additional info from your current game situation. What's next?Next we’ll be focusing on the major content update covering the northern part of the wasteland. This will take some time and we plan…
- Beta Release: The Perished City - 13 March 2025
Hey. We put the content update “The Perished City” on the beta branch and would appreciate some feedback. Our design goals for this and the further content updates are to improve the writing, especially the variety in how NPCs talk, add more depth to the narrative elements, add more player decisions, and have more visual variety among the locations. It would be good to know if we’re on track with that. The update needs more work in some areas, including balancing and itemization, and it’s currently separated from the main game still. There’s a separate entry for it in the “New Game” menu. So I wouldn’t recommend it for a regular playthrough just yet, but if you want to help out with some feedback while it’s especially useful for us to see if we are meeting our design goals, then this is a good moment. Here’s how to switch to the beta branch: https://steamcommunity.com/app/941460/discuss…

- Roadmap Update - End of 2024 - 23 December 2024
I am sorry. We made progress this year, but not as much as I had hoped. The projected dates for the next updates did not work out as planned. We are focusing on the content of the game at the moment. That is slow work, as we are still somewhat inexperienced in this. (And it seems to me that working on story-based content will never be a straightforward process to begin with.) I appeal here to your understanding of the situation, and therefore will lay out what this current situation consists of. Situation We are a small team. Two core members at the moment, working full-time on Death Trash. We will look at potentially getting additional help after the city content update is done. This is our first game. We are still learning and mistakes will be made along the way, but we are willing to learn from them. Our main goals with this project are the following: 1. To create a game with soul an…

- Teaser: The Perished City - 20 June 2024

- Roadmap - 28 March 2024
Welcome. This is the roadmap for the final phase of the Death Trash Early Access. We have avoided communicating concrete dates in the past. Working as a small team on a complicated game has been notoriously difficult, especially in regards to timely estimations. The Early Access took longer than we initially anticipated. For that we are sorry. But during the Early Access we have improved the game and, equally important, our tools, workflows and knowledge. We are more confident now about handling the rest of the game and what time we’ll need for that. Note: These dates might still change. If one of the milestones takes longer than anticipated, all the later dates will be influenced by that, too, of course. And at the end of the day we won't call it final (1.0) if we are not happy with the state of the game and will instead put more work in. But the important thing here is, I hope, to see…
