DEADBOOT will have you dying a lot, and it's important that each new run feels fresh and interesting. So in the last month we've been working on expanding our combat arenas and environments, and adding new tech to keep things interesting, and keep you thinking on your feet!

Level layouts are dynamically generated, including enemy spawns, item placements, room-connections, and more.

Inside each room, hazards, covers and layouts swap out on the fly, and keep you thinking fast!

The further you get into a run, the more challenges will be thrown at you. Rooms requiring precise movement, quick reactions, or a challenging gauntlet with a strong power-up as a reward.

As you progress, you'll expand your kit of upgrades, and build your play-style around them. Dual wield, double-jump or explosive kicks, to name a few! Complete specific challenges to unlock even stronger upgrades to find in your next run!

So! That's a quick rundown on how levels with work in the game! We couldn't be more excited to share what we're working on with you, and we're working every day towards getting a first playtest ready! More to come on that in the near future! Until then, make sure to join our discord [discord.gg]to stay up-to-date!

First off, thank you for the wonderful reception. The amount of people who wishlisted and reached out with kind words were way beyond our expectations!

What we've shown so far is just the beginning! We're now hard at work on testing and implementing a bunch of new features to deepen the gameplay further. Challenging arenas that lock down when entered, beefier enemies, persistent upgrades, new weapons. The list goes on!

As development continues, we would love to get your input on what you would like to see added to the game! Cyber-demons, Fatalities, or Speedrun Leaderboards? If you have any burning ideas, post them in the #feedback-and-suggestions channel on our discord[discord.gg]!

We'll make sure to keep sharing more about the game, and where it's headed.
