hey everyone, an important update. we said our public demo would land around halloween. it won't. we are moving it to a later date. here is the honest reason. when we first planned it, we were basically me and my 2 co-dev with few freelancers. since then the team has grown and changed. we brought in a new very experienced technical lead who is helping us rebuild some core systems properly instead of patching around them. we hired a really talented 3d artist from egypt who is building authentic 1923 istanbul architecture from scratch. we brought in more people for specific tasks. we finished the tommy gun and we are now modeling and rigging an old revolver with our amazingly talented weapon artist. we recorded hundreds of lines of voice over for our main character, RJ. we built new zombie types with our character artist, we are doing new animations for each weapon with a new animation artist. all of this is good news. but it also means the demo we were rushing toward doesn't match the game we are actually building anymore. it was pulling focus away from levels and systems that matter more, and after some internal testing we realized we were forcing something out just to hit a date, not because it was ready. we don't have a publisher. we don't have investors. we are funding this out of our own pockets. that is exactly why we are able to make this call, and exactly why we should. nobody is going to be angrier than us if we ship a demo that doesn't represent the game or somehow outdated (or buggiers) version of our current vision. so we are taking the extra time to do it properly. new mechanics, new puzzles, more polish, better onboarding, better ui, most importantly, better zombies and a prologue that actually shows you what undead chronicles is. thank you for being here this early. 105k+ of you wishlisted this game with no marketing spend from us. that trust is the only reason we can afford to slow down and get it right instead of rushing. more soon. keep the feedback coming, we read all of it\ sorry for the disappointment🖤
