Steam

Welcome to the Steam Launch Day!

We’re officially out of Early Access*! The keyboard and mouse interface is live. Thanks for all the feedback, the bug reports, the save files, the DXDIAGs, and more, Early Access players.  You rock. Your technical chops and thoughtful feedback made an enormous difference.

But today’s build is not the last word for State of Decay on Steam. Those of you who’ve been with us since our launch on XBLA know we don’t ever just call it a day. We’ve already got the next patch planned out (and scheduled for a few weeks from now). It will include full key remapping, changes to mouse acceleration, and more.

Steam Full Release: Tuesday, November 5

That’s right, we’re heading into the homestretch. Of course, we’ll continue to make improvements, but we’re just about ready to call State of Decay launched on Steam. The official opening day will be Tuesday, November 5.

We’re going to do some serious celebrating on Tuesday. Prizes and contests and more, oh my!

In the meantime, if you are one of our adored Early Access players, there is a request list thread in both the official forum and the Steam forum. We sure appreciate the help!

Celebrate Halloween With a Twitch. And Costumes.

Our next live stream will be Thursday, October 31st, because you cannot make a zombie game and NOT stream on Halloween. It’s a rule. We’ll hand out a couple Breakdown codes…well, IOU’s for codes…to celebrate the arrival of the Great Pumpkin.

Please join us at http://www.twitch.tv/xboxlivearcade at 11:00 AM PDT/2:00 PM EDT/7:00 PM London/20:00 CEST. Geoffrey will be there, ruling the channel with an iron fist, a cheerful smile, and possibly some high-pitched squealing when he gets overtaken by twelve bloaters and a feral.

Would you like to increase your odds of winning a code during the stream? Enter the costume contest, and follow the special directions for our Twitch friends. (Please note that pictures will be reposted to Facebook.)

See you Thursday!
