‘Deathground’ Devs Post Year-in-Review Update With New Progress Images
Jaw Drop Games recently dropped a small year-in-review update for its in-development Survival Horror shooter, Deathground. Despite the game missing its Early Access release date, the update provides plenty of things to be excited about, including some cool behind-the-scenes development images.
In amongst the talk about the developer’s onboarding of talent from its initial Kickstarter launch, the update shows off more in-production shots of some of the dinos players will be battling. “We’re aiming for Deathground to feel and look devastatingly deadly. While our art team has been devising new 3D visualisations to immerse you into the game, our tech team has been forging movement and life into these scenes.”
The update briefly talks about the challenges the team faces when it comes to the AI, and on making the dinosaurs “convincing, scary and impactful”. The update finishes off stating that the team aims to post updates on Deathground‘s development on the first Friday of every month.
Deathground is currently in development for PC via Steam.
After the surprise reveal of SAW: Genesis at Summer Game Fest, Bloober Team has followed up the reveal with a new video giving an overview of the features available to players in the upcoming asymmetrical multiplayer title.
Co-developed by Broken Mirror Games and Anshar Studios, the game is set in the grim aftermath of World War I, where you play on either side of a 3v1 confrontation in intense matches that take place on procedurally generated maps. The game is built for short, intense matches where no two trials play out the same.
Players can either step into the role of the Judge, an early architect of Jigsaw’s philosophy, manipulating the trial and its prisoners from behind the scenes. Or, they can play as one of three Accused looking to escape the deadly labyrinth through teamwork and sacrifice. Shaped by their experiences in The Great War, the Judge is dedicated to rehabilitating humanity through pain and sacrifice.
Your goal as the Judge is to rehabilitate the Accused, making them choose between life and limb rather than killing them. Live or die. They make their choice.
Customize your approach with perks and traps, then seek to control the match from the shadows. Unlike other asymmetrical multiplayer games, the Judge is physically vulnerable and cannot overpower the Accused through sheer force alone.
SAW: Genesis is currently in development for release into Steam Early Access.
