- Celebrating One Year of Aftermath with v1.2! - 16 November 2022

We’re so grateful for all of your support since then and owe all our success to you for believing in our game. As thanks, we have a little something for you: Version 1.2 is out now!

- Patch 1.1 is Out! - 11 April 2022
Hey all! We're very excited to be able to share our first content patch for The Last Stand: Aftermath! There are several new buildings to explore, a few new locations to discover, and three new weapons to collect and craft along the way. We've also added new upgrade levels for your backpacks. With this patch we wanted to address some issues that have been hanging around since launch, namely the inventory and encumbrance, also the problematic Gear Insurance. At the same time we wanted to make weight management feel more consequential and less of a hassle. Part of that is the introduction of Sector Stashes. These act as 3 separate containers that will appear near the beginning of the areas after you leave the Suburbs. Each one can store a significant amount of items and allows you to pre-plan a little by stocking up in the field if you have excess items or feel like a run is going poorly.…

We want to thank our community both for the incredible support you've shown us and the game this whole year as well as for the fantastic feedback and bug reports you've been sending our way. We're also excited to announce that patch 1.01 has been approved for PlayStation 4 and 5 and will be rolled out shortly! Most notably, this includes the fix for missing save data. Please don't hesitate to send us reports if you update the game and have any issues with your save data going forward. We appreciate your patience as we navigate the extra complexities of patching console versions. The Xbox Series patch has not yet been approved, but we aim to get it out as soon as we can.

First of all, thanks so much to all of you who picked up The Last Stand: Aftermath after we launched a couple of weeks ago. We really appreciate it and wouldn't have been able to make this game without your support. If you didn't already hear, nominations for the Steam Awards close on December 1, and we'd be really grateful if you nominated Aftermath for Best Game You Suck At!

As always, you can refer to our list of known bugs to get a sense of what is on our radar and please keep those bug reports coming if you run into anything.

All traps now show an outline when occluded by the enviornment. Items: M82A1 Drop is no longer purchasable with…

- The Last Stand: Aftermath is Out Now! - 16 November 2021
After four and a half years of development, we can't begin to describe how thrilled we are to be able to say that The Last Stand: Aftermath is now live! There are too many people to thank and too many stories about development to tell, but for now we just hope all of you find some joy in this game that we've put so much into. While we do want to keep this short and sweet, we wanted to make sure to thank all of you in helping make this game a reality. The Steam community has been absolutely invaluable in your constant support and enthusiasm. The feedback we received on our public demo was crucial in making Aftermath into the game it is today. While we're obviously focused on Aftermath's launch today, this is just as much of a celebration of the almost decade and a half (!!!) old franchise and the amazing community that has formed around it. To that end, we're excited to be able to offer…

- Everything's Coming Together - 25 August 2021
Hey everyone! Got another round of exciting updates for all of you. After 4 long years of development, the main storyline is complete. It’s been a fun challenge writing a story that expects its main character to die and be replaced over and over again. We hope you folks enjoy it! On that note, finishing the storyline has left us time to track down the remaining bugs and do more gameplay balancing. We’ve also optimized how the game runs, so hopefully those of you with older machines who had trouble with the demo will see some improvements there. The soundtrack is officially complete as well! We just signed off on the last pieces of music last week. Sean Tinnion and Matt Mclean have put together something refreshingly special, and we can’t wait for you all to hear it. There will also be an OST for sale at some point in the future, but we’ll let you know about that when the time comes. Oh,…
- Aftermath is Coming Q4 of 2021 & Legacy Collection! - 15 July 2021
The Last Stand: Aftermath will be out in Q4 of 2021 on PC, XBox Series S/X, PS4 and PS5. That’s right, The Last Stand is coming to consoles! We’re excited to bring it to the Xbox and PS platforms so that more people get to experience it. We built Aftermath with consoles in mind right from the beginning of production and it’s truly a dream come true. We know Q4 is a big window - but we’ll have another announcement closer to the date when that falls into place. In the meantime we’ll be polishing and balancing the game, managing the console ports and preparing for launch. In order to celebrate the upcoming release, we’re releasing The Last Stand Legacy Collection today! Yes, right now. Play the original Flash game trilogy in an enhanced collection, in full screen with AI upscaled graphics, save files and achievements on Steam. The Last Stand, The Last Stand 2 and the much loved The Last St…
- Finishing Touches - 24 June 2021
Hey everyone! We have some juicy development updates for y'all, but first things first we wanted to chat about the "release date"-shaped elephant in the room. When we started our kickstarter for the game almost a year ago (!!!), we estimated that we'd be launching the game this month. Development on the game is going extremely well, but for a few typical "video games take a lot of time to make" reasons as well as some "very exciting news we can't quite talk about yet" reasons, the launch is getting pushed out a bit. We greatly appreciate the support and understanding you all have shown us throughout development, as we just want to make the very best version of Aftermath for you all to play. We can say that we will have news on the new release date coming very soon. For the game's development, we're wrapping up the very last biome and are putting the final pieces of the story together. W…
- Bringing Back the Demo for the Digital Dragons Indie Celebration! - 12 May 2021
Hey everyone! We have some really exciting news for you all this month! First things first, for folks who either missed the demo in February or wanted to be able to spend a bit more time with it, it is back right now! We're bringing it back to celebrate the fact that we are finalists in the Digital Dragons Indie Celebration running on Steam from May 13th to 14th. The demo will be available through the end of the weekend. On the development front, we've been hard at work fleshing out the rest of the content for the game. This includes wrapping up the main story as well as expanding on the content already in the game. Being a The Last Stand game, a big part of this is adding more weapons options. For the first slew of new weapons, we're excited to add a whole new class of weapons in two handed melee weapons. These have a completely different feel from the faster and lighter melee you've s…
- The "Sunken City" Update - 2 April 2021
Hey everyone! There are a ton of exciting things happening in the development of Aftermath, so we have a lot to share with you! First and foremost we want to thank everyone who checked out the demo during the Steam Game Festival! The response was immense in every sense of the word and while it's easy to be heads-down on a project and not know how the players are going to respond to it, the positive responses and thoughtful criticisms were extremely appreciated. This really put a positive gust in our sails as we're more confident than ever that we're making something you all are really going to love. Now for the info you've been looking forward to! This update will largely focus around the latest addition to the game: the Sunken City. As the third sector in the game, this update adds a ton of new content in addition to continuing the story further. The Sunken City, formally known as Leig…
- Steam Game Festival Demo Available Now! - 3 February 2021
Hey everyone! We have a lot of exciting development news to share with you, but as you've hopefully seen in this update title, we have some really great news we want to share with you all! A public demo of The Last Stand: Aftermath is available RIGHT NOW(!!) through February 9th. Please follow this link to check it out yourself: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1266840/The_Last_Stand_Aftermath/ With that wonderful news out of the way, we're pumped to share some details about how development is going. We had a lovely little break around the holidays, but things are back in full swing. Currently, we're focused on adding more and more content to the game. This means more guns, more melee items and SO much environment design. These new areas have been super fun to flesh out as they require a lot of ruined structures: ruined stores, apartments, plazas, and more! Folding these locations int…
- 2020 Wrapup! - 18 December 2020
Hey everyone! This has been an incredibly wild and exciting time for us while we continue work on Aftermath. We began our first closed beta at the beginning of the month, and while it’s terrifying to see folks tear apart the game, it’s been absolutely wonderful to see everyone so happily tear apart the game. There’s a long way to go with development yet, but the positive response so far confirms that we’re working on something really special. One of the big changes we’re actively working on right now is adding the Supply Store to the game. The Supply System adds an additional currency and will modify and expand the role of Supply Caches and the XP level unlocking system. In addition to the Supply Store, we’re cracking away at fleshing out the content for the later stages of the game. Our current focus is on the third sector, called “The Sunken City.” It features loads of new props and d…
