Development Blogs

Below are all of dfomdev's development blogs, with the newest being at the very top of the page. The purpose of these devblogs is to keep our audience updated on our ongoing projects and updates within our community. We try to publish a devblog every couple of months, or whenever we feel that we have enough information to share with the public.



After working on the game for a couple of months, it is now at the stage where Ican finally release details regarding it to the public. So, without further ado, I'm happy to announce that Infection is the new game developed by me.

Infection is an instant action horde type FPS where there will waves of enemies spawning. There will be many different maps to choose from, as well as being able to change the amount of waves available. In a future update, there will be a shop added where you will be able to choose new things like other weapons, armor, and abilities. Along with the main wave horde mode, I am planning on adding other small things such as a small campaign with small questions that people can do for fun. It wont be exactly connected, but this game is essentially a compilation of everything I've learned with Unity so far.

Survived Description

By yourself or with friends, your mission is to explore an epic ocean full of obstacles in the way and to expand your base.

Trapped on a small island with nothing but bare hands to survive, players awake on an island with no other people in sight! With a dry throat and an empty stomach, survival will not be easy!

Survived throws you and your friends into an epic adventure out on the big world, with the objective to stay alive, gather resources and build yourself a portable or stable home worthy of survival.

Resources are tough to come at sea: Players will have to make makeshift weapons and tools and find whatever is buried beneath the ocean surface. However, thirst and hunger is not the only danger in the game... watch out for the enemies on land and water too!

Hello everybody and welcome to the new website! We have switched from google sites to weebly. Here you can find lots of info about the game. There has been a lot of progress made for the game. Currently, We have all the menus done and we have a save and load feature! Next we are going to be adding music to the game. The assets will be added in very soon but they are not ready at the moment. Until next time...

Hey everyone. I hope everybody had a great Fourth of July! Today is blog day!!! In the last weeks/days we have made some more progress to the game. Since we removed the config page in alpha 3, we needed to add settings to the settings menu. That has been added in the newest version! You will be able to change you language, if its fullscreen, graphics quality, and resolution. We have also fixed a few bugs and added a few more small features/changes. This is all for today but there will more updates in the future!

Hello everyone and Merry Christmas! I hope all of you have a great time spending time with friends and family. As we are nearing the end of 2018, I figured it was time to make a new dev blog, since we havent made one in about 6 months. So as most of you have seen, the website has been updated a lot. We got a new presskit, redesigned the contact menu and more! Thanks to CheesyBoiNL for helping me with this. CheesyBoiNL, also became a fulltime worker on Survived! We also got a new 2D Artist on our team, Aka HomotheHobo69! He made our new logo and the two island pictures. Alpha 4 has been delayed a-lot, but only because we are still trying to solve issues with the pause menu. It will be released soon though! Alright, thats the end of the dev blog. I hope all of you have a great end of 2018 and have a good start of 2019!
