  Game developing process after release

  Dear players, thank you for all your bug reports and suggestions After release, we took a short break following nearly two years of Dreadway development. I started working on Dreadway back in 2024, and over time bi0bit and joka_boka joined me to help with the project. Together, we managed to finish the game and release it, but it hit us hard because the game did not gain enough visibility for us to keep working on it full-time instead of regular jobs. Even so, after a short break, we found the strength to keep our promise and continue developing Dreadway, constantly improving it. What we have done over the last two months Fixed several bugs Added a new monster Added a new location Fixed an issue where some achievements would not unlock Further optimized the network side for better stability Added EN / DE / ES / FR / RU localizations to the voice recognition feature Patch 1.1 test branch Patch 1.1 will be available for download soon, but you can already test this version in the test branch. To access it: Right-click Dreadway in your Steam Library Open Properties Go to Game Versions and Betas Select the test branch Spring Sale reminder Dreadway is currently available with a 50% discount until the end of the Spring Sale. Thank you for your support, and stay tuned for more updates. Good luck in the wastelands.

  Update 1.0.2

  Update 1.0.2 Fixed Security vulnerabilities Various issues that caused lag A freeze when recreating a game after voting to “Play Again” A bug where players could load into the train with a black screen A bug where players wouldn’t die after reconnecting A bug where players under the Shrinking Potion could clip through train/bunker geometry and fall into the void, or exit the train while it was moving Changed Fixed some localization inaccuracies Optimized netcode Known issues When holding two-handed items, the “drop item” logic on G can break (rejoining fixes it) Monsters can get stuck near the train After playing for 20+ days and 3+ hours with unstable internet, the host’s train physics may break and players may be able to walk through its walls If you jump with the Shrinking Potion right as the train stops, you may get thrown onto the tracks (can happen if you were in the air while the train was moving, or if the host lagged) Sometimes opening a chest spawns no loot Lever hints in the train can be out of sync between players Weather preset sometimes doesn’t apply, causing the level to be too bright The known issues list is not complete and is updated daily. Thank you for helping us improve the game and for actively reporting problems in our Discord. Over the past two weeks since release, we’ve done a lot of work fixing bugs. Once we’re done with the major fixes, we’ll start expanding the content — adding more locations and more bunkers, as you requested.

  10 days after release...

  It’s been 9 days since release — and we survived.Reviews have stabilized and climbed to 73%, so we’re continuing to work and improve Dreadway. We’ve been streamed by Gatchman666, Trisp, キミトス, 空衣御侍, 0RaNge117, Mazzellof, Coffi, Smii7y and many others, and several videos about the game reached 500K views. Twitch is still full of live streams.This week we fixed bugs and collected feedback. Our current focus:monsters are too easynot enough locationsconnection issues (fixed)voice phrases are hard to recognize for non-native English speakersTo improve voice recognition, we’re also planning localization for: English, French, German, Spanish (Spain), Simplified Chinese, Russian, Ukrainian, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Turkish, Japanese, Italian.We’re reworking the early game to make the first two hours more exciting: clearer goals, better balance, and fewer speedrun exploits. The biggest takeaway: people love the voice recognition — and we’ll lean into it.We’re not a big studio, but we truly care, and we’ll keep improving: smarter, more unique enemies, more locations, and more upgrades for the train and players.Sincerely, Alex, Jeka, Sergei
