- Urban Survival & The Toxic Divide 🌆🌫️ - 11 February 2026
Hey everyone!I’ve got some exciting news about how the world of Deadly Land 2.0 is structured. For the "Rebirth", I’m using a massive urban environment (shoutout to the Polygon Apocalypse style!), but instead of one giant, empty space, I’m splitting the city into specialized zones.To make this work seamlessly, I’ve implemented the Toxic Fog System you see in the clip! The Plan:Map Variants: Using these deadly clouds, I can create several unique map layouts from the same massive city. One day you’re fighting in the industrial district, the next in the downtown ruins—each framed by the toxic mist.Survival Gameplay: The fog isn't just a boundary; it's part of the world’s lore. It's a Work in Progress, but it allows me to give you more focused, high-performance environments without "invisible walls."It’s still a bit rough around the edges, but it’s a huge step toward making the 2.0 city fee…

- Short information about the process of further news - 8 May 2023
Hello everyone, sorry that this announcement again presents so little content. Unfortunately, it is hardly possible to develop something further in one day and at the same time prepare a little material and text for new announcements. I will continue to concentrate on development for the next few days and then prepare some better material again. My plan is to present my progress twice a week. Maybe always on Wednesday/Thursday and then again on Sunday. Since this doesn't stay entirely without pictures/animations, here are a few new zombie models that I would like to use as bosses with special abilities and a small preview of what is possible with the loadout system for weapon/attachment combinations.

Hello everyone, another new feature is the recording of weapon statistics. In the Weapon Stats menu you can see how many shots you have fired with each weapon, how many hits, headshots, K/D statistics etc. Now a few insights into a new map. There will be some more detailed information about this tomorrow. A little less to see today because I didn't have enough time for it. But next time a little more ;)
