Mutations One of the spoilers is the addition of a mutated, flying zombie, vampire, demon, thing. Too much? 3-4 more zed types as well... T
What's the roadmap? Will there be an update to deal with things like the controls sooner or are you waiting to do one big one? I'm just curious. It's always nice to have a developer interact with us and it's much appreciated that you take your time out to talk to us. Billy
The Road Ahead Hey Billy, Man, we're stoked to talk to our shooters. Maybe that comes with being an indie dev shop, and giving a hang Here's some road map stuff for you. This month, we'll have a couple of releases. The fist is the game for Android players. The second will address fight mechanics across the board, bug fixes, easier nav and timing issues for combat. More of a tune it update. Our next major one with more additions of weapons, zeds, progression objectives and such is slated for January. We've also taken your comments and everyone else's on this forum and aded them in the dev track. We're not a big game studio, so any word y'all can help us get out is beyond appreciated. We want this to be a player developed game as much as possible, so comments, wants, etc are, man quite honestly a huge help for us. We also sound off and promote our players, so if you want us to give a shout out for any one of you (channels, games, etc.) Just let us know and we'll do it. We have a twitter account twitter.com/deadriotgame where we regularly update and promote our followers. The DeadRiot team is big on thanking those who take the time to give DeadRiot a whirl. Our dev blog is HERE as well... *Also, good, bad or ugly, we'd love anyone to take the time to give us a review on iTunes. We have 5 reviews...need more. Thanks again Billy / all Deep Respect, Travis / DeadRiot
The AppStore is a weird and terrible place. I never would have ever heard of your game if I didn't see a post about it here. It sucks that if you are a small indie studio with no advertising budget it's a miracle to get noticed. You have 6 reviews now I've also been sharing on Twitter and Facebook. Billy
Billy, Thanks a million x infinity! The app store is a weird place. Pay to win... We owe a massive thank you to the people on this forum. Our promotion efforts have been largely by social media and it works...to a degree. As a team, we thank you for your review and for spreading the word about DeadRiot! We also thank everyone else on this board for the invaluable comments! Here's something cool for you...we have 5 of these...a DeadRiot poster signed by the dev team. If you'd like it, just let me know. Also, anyone else on this forum only who wants one, we'll get one out to you. SIGNED Again, Thanks a ton for supporting DeadRiot!
Sneak Peak - Some of what you asked for... Here is a quick dev post on YouTube you can check out for next release. There are improved fight mechanics, bigger booms, and a combo counter. The combo's list briefly and subtly in game. More to come. Thanks for playing DeadRiot!
Thank you! Pretty awesome! I'll definitely take a signed poster. I'll clear out some message space tomorrow and pm you my address. Bre I finally unlocked all the levels. I purchased the 50,000 coin pack. I figured I played more than a few hours so I needed to pay something Was that last level intended to be so dark? Of all the levels I played it twice and have no intentions of ever playing it again. It was simply too dark. I literally could close my eyes and it was the same gameplay hehe. I really liked the level where you fight with the AI squad and I also liked the level where you defend the antenna. I keep playing those two the most. Billy
Wow awesome developer feedback! Following this thread I've been very impressed and I do hope you get more awareness after you add some things people have been wanting. Game looks beautiful and as an artist myself, I can tell you put it a lot of work into it. I'm also a big fan of riot/police gear - preference to things with facemasks or gas masks And free swag? Can't say no to that. Do you happen to have any T-Shirts available as well? I'd love to rep these games outside just to support smaller devs and show that there's some cool stuff out there some people don't know about.
Hey L. Lawliet! Thanks! We try to stay on top of keeping everyone in the loop. The lead engineer for DeadRiot, started out as an artist / design major, so we're very lucky to have him on board! I'll pass along your compliments...they mean a lot! We do have T's. Just let me know what size you'd like and where to send it, we'll take all of the game exposure help we can get. Thanks a million! Travis / DeadRiot
Hey Billy, I passed along your comment about the darkness issue in the level. Definitely a concern. I know that the upcoming improvement release addresses some of the visuals in game play. Might already be fixed, but I will verify. THANK YOU for buying a coin pack! Much appreciated. Will get you one of the signed posters as well. Do I have your address? I'll check. If not, I will PM you. Best, Travis
I'd LOVE one of those posters...love the art style so much. Seriously well done on this game so far folks...
U Got it! Thanks for the props Zendorphin! Much appreciated PM me your address and I'll get one out to you! Travis / DeadRiot
Some DeadRiot Game Info for Y'all - & a Thank You Thought it might be useful to list out where you can access some of the DeadRiot info.

Will post here, prior with the specifics in this update, as well as the planned improvements for January's version. Cheers to all! Travis
DEADRIOT TOP 50 AOTY on SlideDB - THANK YOU! I'm writing this personally to everyone on this board. DeadRiot was voted in at SlideDB as a Top 50 AOTY game and is sitting in the #1 position for 3rd Person Shooters. I can't express our gratitude effectively to y'all. Know this, we've listened to everyone's input on what they want in the game and are adding it. One of the secrets, I'm not supposed to share, but am going to do anyway with this forum is that you'll be able to "skin" Riot Cop to your liking...camos, different suits, etc. Minor, but you're the only group that knows this. There is other cool stuff as well...I'll announce that soon. If you feel inclined to vote, here's the link: Thanks again from the entire DeadRiot team - YOU ROCK!
As promised...first look at update Y'all... This DeadRiot vid contains some of the stuff y'all asked for. Easy menu options, better fight mechanics, smoother game play. Will post some more soon. Take care, Travis / DeadRiot DeadRiot Game Play Version Update
This game is pretty awesome. Ranked 17th and 11th on certain maps. One real problem i have is trying to quick throw a grenade and it just disappears. Sometimes my gun will be shooting while i'm in combat as well. Rare but draining.
Grenade chuckin and gun bug Hey dabbed! Thanks for the compliment and for the heads up. Totally agree! Game needs a quick throw option for grenades. I am going to put that in the dev track. Also, about your gun firing randomly. I haven't seen that, and am concerned. Did you notice it in a certain level? Certain scenario? What gun were you using? Any details will help me find a cause. Thanks a million for playin DeadRiot! I'll personally respond to you when we flesh out the gun bug! Travis / DeadRiot
The Suits...well ok there aren't any around here...DeadRiot Forum Everyone says we need a dedicated forum for the game. Good or bad advice aside, we set one up dedicated to DeadRiot on SlideDB. Drop by and say hi...it's cricket city right now. Touch is the feeder for that forum. Put your wishes in the threads...let me know what I missed. Happy Zombie Stompin, Travis DeadRiot Forum
