Dead Matter Dev Tracker

Full disclosure: this isn't the sexiest #ScreenshotSaturday you'll ever see from us. 🖼️

However, Julian, our new Technical Artist, has implemented an easy-to-use system for electrical poles which our level designers are utilizing. We think it looks great!

One of our new technical artists has been helping to implement a new retro-reflective shading model. 🪞

This allows us to enhance the appearance and visibility of objects at night.

Be careful if your clothing has any reflective elements. You may be easier to spot. 👀

We're breaking in August with a new blog post! 🗓️

It contains a lot of dorky code stuff (with info links for those into that kind of thing), as well as updates on reflective lighting, assets, character designs, a new vehicle, & more. 🔦👪🚚

ICYMI: we’re trying to address the presence of different kinds of loot sources in the world - namely, corpses. ☠️

We can’t guarantee that these will be ready for 0.7.0, but we’re aiming to provide more death and decay to the game world.

More on our blog:

We have another blog post outlining the changes coming to the #DeadMatter Closed Alpha!

Read the post for updates on:

🚧 Industrial sites
🎒 Resource gathering
☠️ Corpses
🧟 Infected AI
➕ much more!

Unlike many other pieces of post-apocalyptic media that take place in decaying worlds, #DeadMatter takes place quite near the beginning of its apocalyptic event.

Many locations will relatively pristine, while others will show signs of struggle.

Five exciting flavours. 🍨

When you're surviving the undead apocalypse, you may want to search a trailer park for supplies.

You could even get two birds stoned at once and meet fellow survivors while you're there.

Worst case Ontario, you die, but hey, that's just survival of the fitness.

Even as infected roam the earth and the constant threat of death looms heavy...

a good rug still ties a room together.

We've heard you have questions! ❓

With our latest weekly update, we have answers. ❗️ We address some common questions about the 0.7 update, the next vlog, and the game's performance.

Take a look 🔎!

🚨woop woop🚨

In previous Alpha builds of #DeadMatter, the police cars were a bit dated for a game set in the near future.

We’re happy to showcase the updated vehicle models. Now off to the donut shop... in style. 🍩

Past the muck and through the mist, danger lurks...

Supporters have often asked about RVs and we’re finally able to move forward on them!

While it’s unlikely that RVs will be fully functional as player homes for 0.7.0, we’re in a better place than ever to add them to the game.

Last month several members of our staff took a trip to some of the real areas in which #DeadMatter is set.

Not only did they drink in some pretty sights, experiences like this provide essential reference materials for ensuring our version properly represents the region. 🏔️
