Patreon Launches NOW! NEW Shades of Horror Gameplay Stream July 5th!
10 months ago – Sat, Jul 01, 2023 at 10:00:10 AM

Greetings, Survivors!

We have a few delicious morsels for you today!

First off, stay tuned in the near future for a Kickstarter specific Developer Diary!

Next-- the official Dead Drop Studios Patreon launches NOW!

The year is 20ZZ. During the aftermath of the large-scale zombie outbreak that caused massive chaos across Cypress Ridge, a notable couple of developers have gone missing. CRPD suspects them of having a connection to the outbreak, which, if true, could spell disaster if they remain on the lam. Those two need to be found and brought in for questioning, ASAP.

Special Agent Roberta “Bobbie” Winchester and Rookie Agent Jamie Brooks are tasked with investigating the couple’s last known whereabouts at their penthouse in Ridgebury Arms.

Every month, we'll be sharing production materials, developer diaries, and MORE! Take a look below to see the contents of each of our two tiers. 

What evidence will you find on your search for the missing couple? Stay tuned to Patreon and see how the story unfolds!

To celebrate the launch of our Patreon, we will have a special Twitch launch stream on July 5th at 7PM ET! In this stream, we will be debuting NEW gameplay for Outbreak: Shades of Horror! Come by and hang out for a chance to WIN a free copy of either Final Fantasy XVI, Street Fighter 6, or The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (winner's choice)!

Don't forget that we stream multiple times a week on our Twitch channel! We play a lot of different games and have a blast, so come join us some time if you haven't already!  If you subscribe, you'll even get access to some cool emotes as well as a Twitch Subscribers channel on our Discord server!

Finally, there are still copies of Outbreak Collection Part 1 available for Nintendo Switch!  This collection includes Outbreak, Outbreak: The Nightmare Chronicles, and Outbreak: The New Nightmare with all patches and content on one juicy cartridge!  A bundle is also available with Outbreak: Contagious Memories when you purchase through Limited Run Games!

Outbreak Collection Part 1 is available through Limited Run Games, the Limited Run Games Amazon store, and our eBay store! Depending where you buy it, you will receive one of two covers (pictured above)! 

That's all for today, Survivors!  As always, we greatly appreciate your support.  You can follow and engage with us on a variety of social platforms! We could NOT do this without you and we value your feedback, so please let us know what you think!

HUGE Dead Drop Studios NEWS (Twitch Stream Recap! Stream Schedule! MORE ZELDA GIVEAWAYS!)
12 months ago – Wed, May 10, 2023 at 10:12:17 AM

Hey Survivors,

As you probably know, we had a HUGE Twitch stream with some big announcements and big giveaways. In case you missed it, we wanted to give you a recap and let you know that the fun is only just beginning!

Dead Drop Studios now has a pair of new Community Managers-- Myth and CMM! They'll be streaming consistently and frequently going forward. You can see our stream schedule for the rest of the week above! 

During each of this week's remaining streams,  two lucky viewers will win their choice of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Resident Evil 4 Remake, or Diablo IV! These prizes are available regardless of your region, and for Zelda and Resident Evil 4, you can specify whether you'd like a physical or digital copy of the game (all copies of Diablo IV will be distributed via digital code only)!

To be clear, Evan will be focusing on Outbreak: Shades of Horror's development going forward, so he will no longer regularly appear on our Twitch streams. Although Evan will still be popping in now and again, our new Community Managers are taking the reins on Twitch.  The upside of this is that we will be live much more often, and we're really excited to spend more time with our incredible backers and community!

Don't forget to follow our Twitch so you can get in on the action!

As we mentioned the other day, Outbreak Collection Part 1 for Nintendo Switch is now available on Limited Run Games! You can purchase it either by itself or as a bundle with the Nintendo Switch version Outbreak: Contagious Memories! Outbreak Collection Part 1 includes Outbreak, Outbreak: The New Nightmare, and Outbreak: The Nightmare Chronicles on one tiny zombie snack of a game cartridge!

There's a new way to get ahold of Dead Drop Studios games and content!  We now have an official eBay store where you can currently purchase Outbreak: Contagious Memories* starting at $39.99* USD! There are even upgrade options to include a developer signature or a trading card! We also have a fan bundle* and a few other items available, with more to come soon!  Speaking of which...

We are raising money for charity with a pair of auctions that are now live on eBay! You can bid on a 9.4 CGC graded copy of Outbreak: Contagious Memories (PS4) and a 9.4 CGC graded copy of Outbreak Collection (PS4) from now until May 19th @ 6PM EST! We'll be giving 50% of the proceeds raised in these auctions to The Glaucoma Foundation, an organization with a FOUR STAR RATING on Charity Navigator.  As these are the first two Outbreak titles to EVER be graded by the CGC, please consider bidding to take home a special piece of Dead Drop Studios history and to raise funds for a wonderful organization.

Development continues on Outbreak: Shades of Horror! We are looking forward to sharing more information with you when we can!  In the meantime, you'll notice we'll be a lot more active on our socials, so please follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Twitch!  You can also join our Discord to hear about upcoming streams and get the latest Outbreak news!  The future is looking bright thanks to your patience, support, and love!

That's about it for now, Survivors. Until next time, stay safe out there!
