    Sometimes the map generator can crap out and miss a building. Known problem but a pain to fix. We've tried, though it mostly seems to just make the problem a bit more rare. This is also related to the problem where sometimes an important building can get generated with its door just offscreen.

    Score! Woke up this afternoon (work night shift) and found my wife had bought this for me. Damn, it's a lot of fun!

    I had few questions before buying:

    1.Does PC and mobile versions have same content? I would rather have it on the phone unless PC version is better

    2.If you stop playing during the mission does it save progress or what?

    3.Can you customize controls?

    1. Yes, all thats missing is the hotseat multiplayer (which makes sense since... well a phone is hard to hotseat with.

    2. It saves everytime you hit the road, basically as long as youre not scavenging, scavenging usually takes 2-8 minutes max.

    3. Yes.

    I just wanted to add that the lack of mid-mission saves had me worried at first too. But Milotorou is right, missions are so short even if you have to start it over you will lose very little time. Also, it seems the game will always give you the same mission if you exit and restart, so nothing will change if you do have to leave the game. There is a chance though, if you come back soon, your game will not reset.

    Thanks for info. I loved Organ Trail and always looking for similar games. Though i guess this has more humor. I remember finishing Organ Trail with just one person and felt depressed knowing nobody else made it :(

    This game made me want to buy Organ Trail but unfortunately it is a 32bit app and will be unplayable when iOS 11 is released. I should look for it for PC.

    Hi Kepa,

    Will we see Mfi support in the next update for sure ? I've been holding off playing more for that reason.

    Love the game and would greatly appreciate controller support.

    Here's a big post on future content for the PC version. Pretty much all the update content will also get ported to this iOS version. Likely with a short lag time between PC and iOS updates, since PC updates are instant and the App Store ones have an approval process.

    http://steamcommunity.com/games/deathroad/announcements/detail/469905196792865956

    The above doesn't include some upcoming mobile only stuff, but I thought people would want to see the content update plans.

    Summary: Next content update will have new music, the new unlock system, a little bit of new pure content, and maybe splitscreen. We'll see what we can do to get splitscreen on the mobile versions. iPad with controllers might work, and we were also thinking of Apple TV support (though this isn't set in stone, yet).

    Yes, we're submitting that really soon actually.

    So. I don't quite understand and I'm a little frustrated. The last siege of the game says that it's going to be four hours long and the time is noon. Well I stayed alive until 5:15 and died. So I actually stayed alive an hour longer than what was proposed to me. I've been trying to beat the game and well now I'm just pissed that it said the siege was 4 hours but the damn thing didn't end at 4 o'clock. wtf

    Hats off to the devs on this one, it's a truely great game though sadly I still can't get to Canada #. But having my Link clone go ballistic and kill one of my team members is worth the ride alone. Someday I'll make it, eh.

    Man, when I was creating a character named Satanichia and saw friend of dog among perks I completely lost it.
    Also had a run where only my dog managed to stay alive and got joined by another dog after learning how to drive
    Controls are a like weird but manageable.
    Thanks for another great game Kepa :):D

    How are you guys doing on the game? I have beaten Normal, Familiar, Rare and Short Trip. At the moment I am having a blast on Long Winding Road, which takes 25 days instead of 15. I feel this much more epic and it gives room to crazier stories over time (of course it is harder to finish, but I don't really care). It feels like a TV show where every episode might go into a total unexpected direction. People come and go and the odds are always against you.

    I was having a crappy run until I ran into an AK and things look much more bright... until the shit hits the fan again. lol

    I also really love playing Long Winding Mode or Marathon whenever I have the time, because I always feel that it ends too quickly when I have a power team and am blasting through every location. It also gives me time to acquire amazing weapons because of my stockpile of food, and I can try new things and see new locations. However, I also like playing Rare Characters mode, to see the wackier characters that have been put into the game. Right now I'm trying to beat Familiar Extreme and Rare Extreme to unlock KEPA mode, which I hear is really difficult to complete.

    We submitted an update earlier for MFi support! And a SPECIAL SURPRISE FEATURE, maybe. It was a quick update though, no new content in this one, just features.

    I think the long modes may actually be a little easier. You get more time to get stats and equipment.

    Let me know if you have any specific suggestions!

    Should be, the Android porters will have access to the updates as soon as they're put up. Maybe a little bit of lag time? Not completely sure, it's up to them.

    Different cloth types for characters would be nice, like a cape or something similar and I couldn't find any skirts

    I wish game had some kind of score or something just too see how far you got before death arrives to collect your souls. Apart that its hard to find anything else to complain about. Gameplay is good, special characters and random events keep game interesting. Also i love that game isnt afraid to give you some guns to use because in many similar games guns are so rare you end up never using them.
