Hello again, Survivors! It's been too long, so let's jump right in to what's on the near horizon.--Factions - most NPCs are now a part of a faction which you will have increasing and decreasing reputation with. Reputation can unlock new tasks, purchasable items, better vendor prices, and more.Faction Hubs - each major faction has an area designated as their hub, and you can help increase a factions power through tasks and resources, which will make changes to their hub. Changes can include visual changes, more NPCs, additional tasks, new vendors, and more.Tasks - Much, MUCH more of the total s

As always, community updates have been too sparsely happening. I've continually said that I'd ramp up the communication with everyone repeatedly, but it never really materializes in to anything tangible. Due to there not being an unlimited amount of hours in a day, I basically always err on the side of spending my time working on the game rather than trying to make content about working on the game. I know a lot of players would appreciate it if I spent more time on this, but outside of it just not being something I'm inherently good at, it also takes a lot of time away from the next update, p

Survivors, Raiders, and Factions are on the way! Raiders are non-zombie AI that attack, well, basically everything. They will spawn randomly, and also have some specific areas where they frequently spawn. Raider driven events are in the works where a raiding party can spawn and hunt down the player and raid their base.Survivors are neutral AI that can spawn around the world who are just trying to get by. Players can rescue Survivors and recruit them to help in your own base, or send them to help a faction of your choice. Survivors will be able to help players with many tasks like harvesting wo

First and foremost; this update took way too freaking long to get released. It suffered from a massive amount of feature creep, and stuff kept getting piled on. This is obviously on top of the map expansion, which as the past updates have shown, always take me exponentially longer than any other type of update. I'm still not great at map making, but I'm tryin'.Unfortunately, if I don't release the update today due to impending family obligations, it would be sitting around for an extra 10 days with very little work getting done, so I'm going to do the typically DeadPoly thing and release it be

The Garden City Renovation Project has begun. Please see the below map with areas that should be largely unaffected. Bases built in the green circles should be largely unaffected from large changes, but the other areas may change significantly, including height changes, buildings, points of interest, and more being added around the map outside of the main cities. Points of Interest currently in development: Prison Observatory Laboratory Large Dam Shipping Port Multiple rivers Lakes Cabins, farms, campgrounds, and other small areas in the wilderness All mountains are being redone to be more tra

DeadPoly needs YOU! I am looking for harsh but actionable feedback on things DeadPoly needs to improve upon to make the game better for everyone who currently plays, has played in the past, or might play in the future. The players of DeadPoly are one of my greatest resources, so I'd really like to grab some harsh feedback on where you feel the game currently sits, where focus should be directed to, and how you feel those changes would positively impact the playerbase. While suggestions and feedback are always welcome, I'm reaching out right now to provide an open invitation to anyone who doesn
