  Update v0.3

  Hello, everyone! Welcome to the second relatively large update, which introduces new mechanics that change gameplay, tons of new items, a new biome, and a pedestal for summoning your first boss! Have fun, survivors! I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather, which slowed down the development process, so I couldn’t add everything I had planned. But you’ll be able to see those additions in the next update, v0.4, which I’ll start working on after a short break! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45167004/6f61822593510e3f7cf516c32e25204968a9b03e.png Gameplay: Added a new biome: "Jungle" (content expansion expected in v0.4) Added a boss: "Jungle Guardian" Added an Ancient Pedestal for summoning bosses Added a new mob: "Jungle Slime" Added a new mob: "Spore Skeleton" Added a Multicooker for advanced food preparation (recipes expected in v0.4) Added a Potion Brewing Station Added a Cooking Pot for basic food and drinks Added a Campfire with Grill (6 cooking slots, faster cooking, longer burn time) Added an Iron Furnace with two slots and higher processing speed Added a Hand Crusher for crushing stone and wheat into flour Breadmaking now requires grinding wheat into flour, making dough, and baking it Added Jungle Trees (spawn in the jungle biome) Added Jungle Spore Bushes (spawn in the jungle biome) Added the plant "Yarrow" (grows randomly in jungles) Added the plant "Sunflower" (grows randomly in forests) Added Yellow Mushrooms (spawn and grow in dungeons) Mining diamonds now drops ore, which needs refining in an extractor to yield nuggets Consumables (food and potions) can now be used directly from the inventory by pressing Alt + LMB on a slot Throwing an item stack is now possible by pressing Alt + RMB on the slot Added a new way to repair items on smithing tables using hammers Any storage can now be placed on rafts Rafts can now be repaired using smithing hammers Added armor reforging for the Medic class on anvils Simplified item repair on anvils: each tier has specific ingredients Dam...

  Early Access release!

  Hello everyone, dear friends! I am happy to inform you that Deep Despair 3 has already been released in early access and is waiting for you with open arms! I know that many fans of the second part of the game have been waiting for this sequel for 3 years. And I am very glad that together we have reached this important date, when you will again be able to plunge into the atmosphere of deep despair and survival, but already significantly updated and improved in all aspects. The game has already come a long and thorny path in development, but it still has much more to go before the full release. Early access is a way to develop and evolve the game together with you until it becomes the game we want to see in the final iteration. There is still a lot to add to the game. In future updates, I plan to add new biomes, new enemies and bosses, items, weapons and equipment, new opportunities to protect your base and the electricity system, magic and firearms and much more. I will try to release updates as often as possible so that you don't get bored and always discover something new in the game! But for this I need your support, because only with you does all this make sense. Thanks to everyone who waited for the release of the game, and good luck with your survival! October 22, 2024 is just the beginning of our journey. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45167004/eb7c8f562ab982960aa7cd76273c0c6e1f6546c6.png

  Dead Lands Update

  Hello everyone! I want to tell you a little about the updated biome "Dead Lands". Now it will not just be an area on the map with dead vegetation, but also a full-fledged underground structure. Dangerous high-level mobs will live in it. Fights with them will become comfortable after the character reaches level 8 and at least with silver equipment. As you approach this gloomy place, the world loses its colors, the sun stops shining, and pitch darkness sets in at night. And only dead fireflies somehow thin it out. In general, do not go here, there is never peace here. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45167004/86bd2eb6dc39369c1d1bf18372fed00a0cd2c872.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45167004/c85681d2f219cd691bf190e57779ae13f9d7fe07.png The structure consists of solid dead stone, which can be destroyed with at least a diamond pickaxe. It has only a few entrances, and inside you can find chests with useful and valuable loot, including a diamond disk, familiar to you from the second part of the game. The chests will be locked, and to unlock them, you will need to fight the local boss - the Undead, who drops the key and parts of the dead armor. The diamond disk will be needed to upgrade the advanced workbench to the workshop, which will give you access to the crafting of diamond tools. After that, you will be able to mine titanium in the depths of the caves! Titanium tools, weapons and armor can be upgraded to magma at the fiery forge using magma shards and fire powder. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45167004/6a57f583ff72edc34a8b02cf8db3d610c2148caf.png Rafts have also been added to the game for more comfortable movement along water spaces. In the spruce forest, you can meet rabbits. An electricity system has been added, thanks to which you can use mechanisms and remotely control certain objects. Work on the game is in full swing every day, and thanks to liters of coffee, I now work 24-30 hours with rare breaks for sleep! After all, the early access release will take place on October 22, and I want to have t...

  Minions and The Slug Lord!

  Hello everyone! The game is being developed at an accelerated pace, and I am in a hurry to share the progress with you. Now a new class will appear in the game - Summoner. It will also be available for leveling. At the moment, 2 minions have been added to the game: Undead Minion and Firewing. I also finished working on the first added boss - the Slime Lord! He will live in the Slime Wasteland, and we can summon him by placing the slime mass on the pedestal. In this way, all bosses in the game will be summoned using unique summoners. Don't forget to add the game to your wishlist, because the early access release will take place on October 22! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45167004/4a5fdf1cd774afa7099855b66affe49cf720db28.png
