It has been years since I made this game (with artist Adam Meyer and others), and almost as long since I sat down to just play it for fun. I designed Impossible difficulty to be harder than I could beat. It's pure pain - the zed come at you incessantly, you have less food, fewer houses, more negative events. Pretty much every variable is cranked up against you. The question isn't really whether I'll survive, but for how long. Wish me luck! - Sarah

Version 1.6.43 (Windows only) adds extra logging and fixes some small bugs: - fix wrong name on second option during attacks - fix survivors not showing on plus menu during attacks - allow disabling jumpscares in Vancouver map via modding variable Config.DISABLE_JUMPSCARES As always you can find older builds in the beta tab on the steam client.

Version 1.6.39 - Quick fix for a couple events (including a very cool one in the Vancouver map which was always there but never ran before) and fixed achievements for the umpteenth time. Sorry folks, I can't help myself, I just love to break those cheevos.

Minor updates which mainly affect the modding system. Users on Mac OS 10.15 (Catalina) may see a security warning when they install Rebuild 3. I'm afraid I've been unable to get Apple's new notarization system to work with our engine. This may result in Rebuild 3 being unavailable for Mac in future OS editions, or needing a security workaround to install. I'm sorry! Changelog: 1.6.28 Adobe/Harman AIR version 33.0.2.338 Fix Colins fighting each other Chinese and other new character sets for modding localization 1.6.24-1.6.27 Attempts to support app notarization for Mac OS 10.15 (Catalina) - FAI

Looks like things are running smoothly in Deadsville now. I've been off in an entirely different universe working on a VR Puzzle game called Fantastic Contraption which we released a couple weeks ago. I came back to Rebuild to fix a few issues and got all nostalgic looking through the code. This game filled my waking life for 3 years - morning, noon, nights and weekends I worked on it and worried about it. Rebuild 3 is my greatest accomplishment, but it did wreck my psyche and break my heart. I'll always love it though.

If you're curious about language modding in Rebuild 3, I've got a page here that explains how, and I've set up a place for fans to work together to translate the game here, since damn it is a HUGE job.
