Grant from our team is making an optimization and art pass on the tutorial/shooting range area to help ensure it runs well and looks good. 🎯
The goal is to have a more “welcoming” environment for players new and old to mess around as a nice entry point to the game. #DeadMatter
To celebrate the spooky season, we're looking back on #zombie gaming history. 🧟
Though zombies appeared in games as far back as the early 80s, the first truly good one was 1993's #ZombiesAteMyNeighbors. 🏘️
Featuring B-movie camp and fast gameplay, the title is still fun today!
Atteeeeention!
Victor from our team recently put the finishing touches on this army uniform. 🪖
It reflects the Canadian standard-issue combat uniform and features a contrasting coyote armor rig to protect vital organs.

Dusty from our team made some amazing changes to the foliage assets that we’re using. 🌲

Julian from our team has been improving the retroreflective shading model that #DeadMatter uses to enhance navigating with limited light sources.
This will help players to explore and drive at night, detect imminent danger, or even spot other survivors. #indiedev #indiegame
We recently made some changes to the skin-shader for the survivors. 👨🦲
In overhauling the skin material itself, our characters now utilize virtual texturing to bring out some of the finer details that are present in the scan data. Read more: #DeadMatter

A child's bedroom remains untouched - is it because there is no loot to be gained? Or is it protected by someone still?
Our level designers are hard at work crafting new spaces that tell a story. There will be plenty to discover soon...
We have a new update for you as we enter the 👻 spookiest 🎃 month of the year, as well as get closer to 0.7.0!
Take a look at some of the new level design from the team - from the calm of a child's bedroom, to the chaos of ransacked storage units.

Torn apart.

We don't want to hammer you over the head with new assets, but our prop artists recently made some useful base-construction tools. 🛠️
A fine patina was important on these as one would be hard pressed to find a brand-new tool while scavenging homes in the end of days. #DeadMatter
We have yet another character outfit to show off: the classic Canadian tuxedo! 👖
It may smell of chewing tobacco and diesel exhaust, but the denim layers may be just thick enough to withstand an infected attack. 🧟

Info: #CIFF2021
One of our new programmers has been implementing the backlog of clothing into the game.
While we still need to do a pass on the materials and present these in the map, we wanted to show a quick sneak peak of the different outfits that will be available in 0.7.0. #DeadMatter
A few weeks back we gave you all a look at a new trailer park. Well, here's another one for ya!
It's another nod to the lives of rural Canadians (and one of our greatest television exports). 🍁

The remnants of looting, violence, & desperation linger in this abandoned gas station. ⛽️
