Outbreak: Shades of Horror - Next-Gen Retro Survival Horror

Survey Updates and Pre Order Store
almost 2 years ago – Mon, Dec 19, 2022 at 08:12:17 PM

Hey Survivors,

Apologies for the delays! As of right now, all surveys have been sent and should have been received. If you have not gotten a survey yet please reach out to us via message over Kickstarter or our Discord here and we will investigate for you.   

There have been ongoing issues regarding being able to specify certain choices (what platform for your Alpha beta test, specifying the name for the opera house or graveyard, ect.).I have been working with the good people at Backerkit to get these resolved. Please make sure to update your survey if you were waiting on issues to be corrected. While we still have some time yet before the shipment phase we want to make sure we have correct info now. 

Our pre order store via Backerkit has also been set up, so if you know anyone who meant to donate but never found the right time, wasn't paid that month, or just plain forgot, you can point them here!

Thank you for bearing with us as we have worked through these issue. If you have any further questions at all you can always find us on our discord or message us on Kickstarter and we will get back to you as soon as we can.

Keep on Survivin'!

Surveys are Out and We are Getting Started!
almost 2 years ago – Fri, Dec 09, 2022 at 01:38:44 PM

Hey Survivors, 

Thank you for bearing with us! The first wave of surveys are out and everybody should be contacted by the end of the weekend. We are very excited to confirm things with you all and get started building the next generation of Outbreak for you.

If you are in the first wave of surveys, there may be bugs. If you have any questions at all, please go to the Kickstarter Supporter area of our discord and let Urshizu or Wordy Banshee (Evan and Myself) know. If you are not a discord user, feel free to message us through kickstarter and I will respond as quickly as I can. 

You may recall seeing this neat graphic in our Kickstarter! We have sourced and assembled the computer hardware needed to build the next gen experience in Outbreak. Among other things, you have made Evan very happy and he has already begun programming with gusto!

Lastly, for those of you who attend our weekly gaming and chatting streams on Twitch,  please be aware these will be going on hiatus as we start focusing on planning our promised Outbreak: Shades of Horror Development streams! We aim to start the first development stream in late January. 

Time to get to work!

Waiting games!

Hey Survivors!

You know how they say the worst part is the wait? That's where were are right now!

We have just purchased out new development rig for Shades Horror and we are basically just staring at the tracking info willing it to get here faster.

Our surveys will be distributed through Backerkit and I am waiting for the final sign off from them before mass emailing you all.  You should have them in a few days!

In the downtime we have started basic character development.  Who will start where and have what kind of relationship with which level and we are trying to figure out how much control we want them so have over the environment.  It's a lot of paperwork, but Lore always is. 

Hope to have a more substantial update for you next time!

Keep on Survivin'

Noses to the Grindstone!

Hey Survivors,

First update in a little while!

Happy to report that we have been chugging away at those surveys and I hope to have them to you by the end of November! (Would have been sooner, but a bad case of bronchitis stopped both Evan and myself in our tracks for a week and we are still recovering).

The Firefighter has been named!  Say hello to Guy La Flamme!

Now that all the community characters have been named, we are moving on to development of the exclusive characters that were offered in our Kickstarter tiers. The info for our backers who very graciously decided to purchase one of these tiers will be collected in the survey, so sit tight friends!

If you are interested in playing the most recent chapter in the Outbreak series, a quick reminder that our wonderful overlords over at Limited Run have pre-orders up for the physical copies of Outbreak: Contagious Memories for PS5, Nintendo Switch and a special exclusive version with an alternative cover on the Amazon store! Pre-orders will be available until November 27, so you have a week left to buy a little piece of the Outbreak just for you! As of right now, the PS5 version is limited to just this printing, so this will be the only time a physical for the PS5 will be available.

Got questions about how were developing our levels? Where the character's starting points in the game are?  How the city of Cypress Ridge is handling toxic waste disposal and how that how that will effect your unfriendly neighborhood zombies? Watch our weekly Thursday stream tonight at 7pm EST on our Twitch channel and come ask us! We are resuming our digital giveaways! You must watch the stream  participate to get your tickets to win ! 

So come, ask your questions, win some cool free stuff and watch Evan play RE 8!

Keep on survivin'!

Hey Survivors, 

Got a little delayed, but I just wanted everyone to know that the Pilot Poll is up and ready for voting! 

We are coming to the end of our nameable characters! Next up! The Firefighter! The question will be up on discord for the rest of the week for name suggestions.
