It's February and we have a Dead Age 2 update for the Polish language + some small news for the upcoming Dead Age: Survivors. Please add it to your wishlist and support us Indie RPG Devs & Gamers https://store.steampowered.com/app/2117160/Dead_Age_Survivors/ Witajcie polscy gracze! Finally we have the polish translation for you, thanks to Steamplayers bax001 (translator) and Matiko13 (tester). Many thanks for this voluntary work! So Polish players, I hope you will have fun and will try to survive in Freedom City! If you find any language errors and want to let us know, please use this thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/951430/discussions/0/3376032962080764008/ You can also meet us in Discord: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36253678/39e38a25d692d0b2acc5d73aeccccadae40d64d7.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36253678/7a043625bed512eb39aa8434509dc1db43e7908e.png First of all, the bad news. I got rheumatism in both wrists (I had played too many Gothic 2 mods ;)) and could only work extremely little the last months. This delayed the development of Dead Age: Survivors, but thanks to medication I can now work much better again and things are progressing. My best friend Steven ... uhm ... Sandro is currently working on the desert maps and they look pretty nice. We will bring some pictures at Easter. I'm currently working on the dialog and quest scripting for the new faction: The Lost Ones. The story should be a bit more exciting and atmospheric than in Dead age 2. For me, that's always the coolest thing to work on ;-) In programming Simone and Pedro are still busy with bugfixing our prototype, but after that it will be about the expansion of the new strategy features, because Dead Age Survivors will have a conquest and defense feature of areas. We will tell (and show) you more about Dead Age: Survivors in the future - so make sure to follow the game and add it to your wishlist. This would really help us a lot! Have Fun , Rayk (Holy Avatar), Sandro, Pedro and Simone! Silent Dreams Team

Dead Age 2 was finally released for PS5 and XBOX X/S. While the new Silent Dreams 2.0 team is working on the new Dead Age: Survivors, Headup has taken care of the last points for the console release. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36253678/7a043625bed512eb39aa8434509dc1db43e7908e.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36253678/74ff911d9526ff2b5f3094e611d65e05150a457c.png in case you missed the last Dead Age: Survivors news. Our artists Sandro and I have made the graphic style of the portraits a bit more realistic, but still mixed the comic look. I think the new look for Dead Age: Survivors is quite cool. Story In Dead Age: Survivors Trish and Jack are again the managers of Jack´s Camp in the new Area of West End. The story begins dramatically when Jack disappears without a trace... While Trish is frightened, there are two suspects that the player (Jason) gets to know and at the same time the situation becomes dangerous as several factions want to take the chance to conquer the areas around the new Jack's camp. Not an easy situation...

It's summertime and we have another Dead Age sale with Dead Age 2 Steam Deck Support. (we made some small fixes) Steamdevsite: New is also our site with all Silent Dreams GAMES.

The date is August 8th and last news we had a Dead Age 2 update for the Italian language, {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36253678/7a043625bed512eb39aa8434509dc1db43e7908e.png For readers who didn't catch the last news, here it is again: As a designer, It was a horror time last year for me (with 4 diseases at the same time!) and the lost of several devs because of financial problems, but now i can develop fulltime on Dead Age: Survivors with currently 50% Status together with Simone, a new italien programmer, Sandro (my best friend and a good artist) and a few part time programmers as fully independent Silent Dreams 2.0. It will take more time because we work private indie style, so don't get impatient summer 2025 a demo. Dead Age Survivors should be released in 2026. Please add it to your wishlist and support us Indie RPG Devs & Gamers https://store.steampowered.com/app/2117160/Dead_Age_Survivors/ But it actually has some advantages in that I have more time for the latest Dead Age, because time limits are always crap for game development.

• I have more time for quests and events, can tell a really cool story of blackmail, kidnapping and faction fights, where the zombies of course also have an important role.
• I have time for new quests, a new faction "The Lost Ones" and events that weren't even planned!
• The combat needs some improvements and we want to get that under control and have cool (small) teams of about 10 people compete against each other to conquer or defend territories. But the troop combat still has to be realized.
• I play the version all the time, so the version will have only a few bugs once we go into Early Access
• We will start a Kickstarter campaign before Early Access, we will then use this money to bridge the development time until release. Maybe we'll also get a few extra features, e.g. a little voice overs. ;-).

You will see, the long time is our friend to make our darned seventh RPG Dead Age: Survivors really good. We want to create the best Dead Age experience. I'm even doing without a girlfriend at the moment because the game is more important to me, if that means nothing ;-) You can also meet us in Discord: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36253678/39e38a25d692d0b2acc5d73aeccccadae40d64d7.png We will tell (and show) you more about Dead Age: Survivors in the future - so make sure to follow us like above described.

It's summertime and we have a Dead Age 2 update for the Italian language + a regular Engine update, if you need it later. Another good news: Dead Age 2 will finally be released for modern consoles (PS5 and Xbox Series S/X). The date is August 8th. and a bad but also a very good message for new Dead Age: Survivors. Please add it to your wishlist and support us Indie RPG Devs & Gamers https://store.steampowered.com/app/2117160/Dead_Age_Survivors/ Ciao italiani! You have one of the coolest accents of all languages and the Steamuser Coccoloco has built you this version. Thank you very much and have fun!

Silent Dreams went bankrupt after 18 years and 6 released RPGs due to financial problems and most of the people had to look for new jobs. It was a horror time for me (with 4 diseases at the same time!) because Silent Dreams is my baby (like the captain and his ship ;-)) but in the end it wasn't that bad. A real life indie story about hard times and ascent. I am now unemployed, but a real fighter. My soul is working like this: https://youtu.be/KpzfdkTuiC4?t=35 I'm now working full-time with Simone an Italian indie RPG developer and 3 part-time programmers and 1 artists (my best buddy Sandro who worked on Settlers, for example,) We work without money, but with a lot of passion, because after my horror time now comes the ascent!!! But it has to be clear that we are taking our time, because time stress is one of the worst problems in the dev business. Dead Age Survivors should be finished in 2026 and that has some advantages. + I have more time for quests and events, can tell a really cool story of blackmail, kidnapping and faction fights, where the zombies of course also have an important role. + I have time for new quests, a new faction "The Lost" and events that weren't even planned. This is supposed to be the best Dead Age! + I play the version all the time, so the version will have few bugs once we go into Early Access + We will start a Kickstarter campaign before Early Access, we will then use this money to bridge the development time until release. Now Kickstarter had better times, but I think we can convince fans, especially since there is no risk, we are doing this just before Early Access to launch Silent Dreams 2.0 + The combat needs some improvements and we want to get that under control and have cool (small) teams of about 10 people compete against each other to conquer or defend territories. But the troop combat still has to be realized. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36253678/dfd50172b209e7e0f2952e4d918cb720cd2421c0.png Since I used to have a bigger team and had todo with lot of gamedesign and project management, I've spent the last few months learning how to script quests, which was previously done by a programmer. Here you can see what it looks like. In principle you will be overwhelmed with information at the beginning, but if you work your way from note to note, you will gradually understand how many possibilities our quest and event system has. We will tell (and show) you more about Dead Age: Survivors in the future - so make sure to follow the game and add it to your wishlist. This would really help us a lot! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2117160/Dead_Age_Survivors/ Happy Summerdays Rayk (Holy Avatar) & the (part-time ;-)) Silent Dreams Team

The year 2023 is coming to an end, the Christmas season has begun and we want to inform you about the progress of the next Dead Age RPG - Dead Age: Survivors. The Dead Age series is of course also in the Christmas sale. In case you missed part 1 or the lot improved Dead age 2. Please add it to your wishlist https://store.steampowered.com/app/2117160/Dead_Age_Survivors/ You can also meet us in Discord: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36253678/39e38a25d692d0b2acc5d73aeccccadae40d64d7.png It's still a bit too early for new footage, we're in the process of changing the invisible "random battles" to a few random enemies on the map that move from round to round and can sometimes be dodged. Our new lead programmer Rao and Quest programmer Huaxia are part of the changed team from 2023 and both from China who are studying in Germany. Fitting, because next to the USA and Germany, China is our largest part of the Dead Age playerbase. More infos about our team will come in the next news. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36253678/7bc7e4dbd0250256b819d32037f3d40aa1e1beef.png What else have we done? An important part of the storyline is managed (some mean ideas ^^), many Ui, rooms in the base and and lots of loot locations. Human trafficking has been implemented to get the important random survivors with money or by using quests, which are needed for conquering territories and working in several bases. The very fast conquest system on the map is inspired by the classic Defender of the Crown, Me - Rayk, the designer, played it on Amiga 500 as a boy, who hardly wanted to go to school, but had plenty of Amiga games to play ;) . But there are numerous classes for the survivors so that they can be trained as soldiers or workers in the bases. But don't worry, Dead Age: Survivors remains an RPG with the new new strategy features. In addition to the random survivors, there is of course also a group of heroes with storylines. The portraits you can see are of the important story survivors Ava and Frank. - This time there will also be more conversations in the camp, as requested by many players. While Ava searches for his lost sister and brother, Frank has an even tougher fate, which will put his psyche to the test. This makes me realise that new values exist, namely stress and motivation. While strokes of fate and bad decisions can lead to negative values, in new rooms, the regeneration with an indoor pool and massage benches can repair the stress value and Trish's famous bar with lots of beer or wine repair the motivation. Just like in reality *cough*. Release for Dead Age: Survivors will be back on Early Access first and should be possible by the end of 2024, as long as we don't delay too much in the next features like the more complex combat. More on the combat will be revealed in a few months, then also more about new skills like martial arts, axe and shield or two uzis Of course, we will keep you updated as we work. Thank you for your feedback. With your input, we hope to bring you Dead Age Survivors, the best Dead Age title yet, combining the strengths of its predecessors with new features and improvements. We will tell (and show) you more about Dead Age: Survivors in the future - so make sure to follow the game and add it to your wishlist. This would really help us a lot!

We have decided to go back to turn-based combat in Dead Age Survivors as well. Especially your feedback, which was very much in favor of turn-based combat, brought this turn. Please add it to your wishlist https://store.steampowered.com/app/2117160/Dead_Age_Survivors/ Currently we are experimenting with a few features. It is not certain yet, but probably you will be able to move more freely on the small battlefield to critically attack your opponents from behind. There will also be some new tactics, so stay tuned. You can also meet us in Discord: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36253678/39e38a25d692d0b2acc5d73aeccccadae40d64d7.png We are now going to make the new troop combat more Crusader King style. You can see the numbers of troops slowly moving down as 2 leaders fight each other on the map, and the advantages and disadvantages of the troop types will also play a role. Your own troops can also get badly injured and have to be patched up by medics later. These changes make the troop battles go quickly, so it doesn't get tedious. Primarily, Dead Age Survivors continues to be an RPG with numerous quests and the survival features that will continue to be expanded and improved. Of course, we will keep you updated as we work. Thank you for your feedback. With your input, we hope to bring you Dead Age Survivors, the best Dead Age title yet, combining the strengths of its predecessors with new features and improvements.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36253678/707719d313fbb61622d2d8ffb4c9abcdbe2c4ea0.png https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/16438/Dead_Age_12_Bundle/ Dear Survivors & Dear Jasons, {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36253678/7ae928ec8bdefae7e957e5e1a613aeac18f128c8.png Again and again we have the situation that players are upset about the permadeath, especially if the player dies first, for example, after 30-40 hours, it is frustrating. And I admit it honestly, I wouldn't feel any different after playing for so long. For the next new Dead Age, we came up with a new idea that lowers the frustration, but you still remain mortal. Now we thought we'd offer the same option for Dead Age 2 Version 1.1.7 It works like this, when the player dies for the first time, a Revival Set is activated. this heals the player by 40%. Now comes a warning that says you need a new kit. In Dead Age 2 you can buy such high-tech kits only once in each U.S. Army base for a lot of dollars. (500 dollars) If you still die you can increase the healing rate of the revival set by upgrading the medicine and increase the amount by 1. The first death is the worst, because many players were completely shocked by it, not even knowing that the game has a permadeath feature. So after the first death you are warned and the thrill remains. The idea was that you need to raise a lot of money to ensure the safety of a Revival set and this will need hard work for this. But be warned that the story characters like Sarah, Tessa, Isa, Lance, Fernando can still die forever when they die. Here, however, we had thought of some characters that will later come to your camp when one of the story characters dies, but they no longer have a story. So be careful! I hope that this will eliminate the frustration for you and still keep the survival thrill. For veterans, let's say that they can also sell the sets if they hate them, plus the veteran mode in the start options is a perfect way to set the game harder. I hope that 99.99 percent of players will be satisfied with this. :) If you want to support us now, please write a review, so that we also survive on our huge quest.

We have made some improvements based on customer feedback. If you have any problems with this Dead Age 2 update, please use the forum. https://steamcommunity.com/app/951430/discussions/1/

• NEW: We have fixed some errors in the English translation. Thanks to the community.
• NEW: Since we are currently implementing Dead Age 2 on Playstation 4 & 5 and Xbox X and Xbox S, we have improved the controller controls.
• NEW: We have slightly reduced the critical hit damage so that you are not too surprised when a strong monster hits your characters
• We have reduced the block chance of many zombies, especially in the later levels. So that you now have much better chances with one hit skills. However, there are still some specialists who are particularly good at blocking, here ranged attacks are recommended.
• The chance of some skills was increased e.g. Brute Strike, Nerve Strike and Shock grenade
• We increased the ranged combat chance from 75 to 80%. In the front row you have a 90% chance with a ranged weapon. (Remember that blocking only works against melee).
• We have reduced the zombie skill "Swift", so you can hit with a ranged weapon with 60% (before it was 40%), but still melee is recommended against fast zombies.
• We increased the level of enemies by 2 in later scenarios to compensate for the better hit chances.
• Questlog update missing doctor

Since the combat system is much faster now that it's in real time, you learn the basic options first. You have to react faster than before, but you still have the option of slow motion, for example, to have a little more time for the party members. Here's the updated list of what we're planning to include. NEW: Some community players have suggested to add a pause mode for players who want to have longer pauses in tactical decisions.

• The next Dead Age will remain a role-playing game, but there will be more focus on strategy and some simulation.
• There are several bases you can control and much more rooms e.g. cooking, farm animals or wild animals in cages for the hunter or traps for the defense of the bases.
• You will be able to manage many survivors, which now have more attributes e.g. stress or motivation.
• Small but also big battles with up to 18 survivors against waves of zombies, this time in real time in the style of Dragon Age 1 or Pathfinder with a pause mode option. But we want to develop also a slow motion mode in the style of Fallout. This slow-motion skill can only be used infrequently, so the game feels faster overall. Only if you look at e.g. the tooltips of the opponents the game can be paused to have enough time to read which tactics or buffs the opponent has. The community has also suggested that we include a pause mode, However, this mode will be a bit easier than the slow motion mode.
• The focus on strategy is also reflected in the fact that you can conquer or defend areas. The clue is that up to 7 other factions can also conquer the territories, this can result in cool battles and sometimes an alliance with a faction is important to be able to exist at all on the battlefield. Besides, zombie hordes still want to have a say.
• We are also trying to improve the storyline. The focus should not only be on other factions, but also bring the companions more into the action. This will mean that story companions as in Dead Age 1 + 2 can not die forever, because otherwise you never know who is currently dead and who is still alive in the storyline.
• Nevertheless, the player can still die and also the numerous non-story characters. Workers or soldiers that you lead to your camps because of events or quests.
• But the game is divided into 3 chapters. When you finish a chapter, the player can start at the next chapter. So he does not have to repeat the whole story.

We have made some improvements based on customer feedback. If you have any problems with this Dead Age 2 update, please use the forum. https://steamcommunity.com/app/951430/discussions/1/

• We have reduced the block chance of many zombies, especially in the later levels. So that you now have much better chances with one hit skills. However, there are still some specialists who are particularly good at blocking, here ranged attacks are recommended.
• The chance of some skills was increased e.g. Brute Strike, Nerve Strike and Shock grenade
• We increased the ranged combat chance from 75 to 80%. In the front row you have a 90% chance with a ranged weapon. (Remember that blocking only works against melee).
• We have reduced the zombie skill "Swift", so you can hit with a ranged weapon with 60% (before it was 40%), but still melee is recommended against fast zombies.
• We increased the level of enemies by 2 in later scenarios to compensate for the better hit chances.
• Since we are currently implementing Dead Age 2 on Playstation 4 & 5 and Xbox X and Xbox S, we have improved the controller controls. Currently PS4 Controller only works with Steam - Properties - controller configuration ps4 activation - we will improve this soon
• Questlog update missing doctor

If you want to support us now, please write a review, so that we also survive on our huge quest. It's really hardcore difficulty level for developers to survive with masses of indie games on Steam. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36253678/831311a96db18298067272ccb00655dd6328f006.gif Meanwhile we are working on the next Dead Age with a lot new ideas, If you want to contribute ideas , suggestions for the next game, use this link: https://steamcommunity.com/app/951430/discussions/0/4246299157482132600/ The next Dead Age At the moment we are working on the tutorial for the new Dead Age. Since the combat system is much faster now that it's in real time, you learn the basic options first. You have to react faster than before, but you still have the option of slow motion, for example, to have a little more time for the party members. Here's the updated list of what we're planning to include.

• The next Dead Age will remain a role-playing game, but there will be more focus on strategy and some simulation.
• There are several bases you can control and much more rooms e.g. cooking, farm animals or wild animals in cages for the hunter or traps for the defense of the bases.
• You will be able to manage many survivors, which now have more attributes e.g. stress or motivation.
• Small but also big battles with up to 18 survivors against waves of zombies, this time in real time in the style of Dragon Age 1 or Pathfinder but with a few differences. We are not trying to integrate a pause mode, but a slow-motion mode in the style of Fallout. This slow-motion skill can only be used infrequently, so the game feels faster overall. Only if you look at e.g. the tooltips of the opponents the game can be paused to have enough time to read which tactics or buffs the opponent has. We are trying to go a new way here that no other game has done in this form. In the next few months we will find out if the combat system is as fun as I envisioned it in my head. xD.
• The focus on strategy is also reflected in the fact that you can conquer or defend areas. The clue is that up to 7 other factions can also conquer the territories, this can result in cool battles and sometimes an alliance with a faction is important to be able to exist at all on the battlefield. Besides, zombie hordes still want to have a say.
• We are also trying to improve the storyline. The focus should not only be on other factions, but also bring the companions more into the action. This will mean that story companions as in Dead Age 1 + 2 can not die forever, because otherwise you never know who is currently dead and who is still alive in the storyline.
• Nevertheless, the player can still die and also the numerous non-story characters. Workers or soldiers that you lead to your camps because of events or quests.
• But the game is divided into 3 chapters. When you finish a chapter, the player can start at the next chapter. So he does not have to repeat the whole story.
• It also has the advantage that I, as a designer, can make the game a bit harder later on, knowing that not so many "accidental" players will complain about having to repeat numerous hours ;)
• Important decisions and consequences are listed exactly this time, so you can see chapter by chapter which decisions you have made. If you are unhappy with a decision, you can repeat the chapter accordingly.

• The next Dead Age will remain a role-playing game, but there will be more focus on strategy and some simulation.

Planned Features
• The next Dead Age will remain a role-playing game, but there will be more focus on strategy and some simulation.
• There are several bases you can control and much more rooms e.g. cooking, farm animals or wild animals in cages for the hunter or traps for the defense of the bases.
• You will be able to manage many survivors, which now have more attributes e.g. stress or motivation.
• small but also big battles with up to 18 survivors against waves of zombies, this time in real time in the style of Dragon Age or Pathfinder. It is supposed to be faster overall. However, the view remains from the side. This means the characters perform their basic strikes in real time, but you can pause and think of tactics. At the same time, you can again handle many skills, which can also be upgraded in terms of level. More tactics for the opponents are planned, so that the player varies his tactics as much as possible. There should be help with speech bubbles of the party members to tactics, so that players who do not get along with a tactic immediately receive support.
• The focus on strategy is also reflected in the fact that you can conquer or defend areas. The clue is that up to 7 other factions can also conquer the territories, this can result in cool battles and sometimes an alliance with a faction is important to be able to exist at all on the battlefield. Besides, zombie hordes still want to have a say.

• Nevertheless, the player can still die and also the numerous non-story characters. Workers or soldiers that you lead to your camps because of events or quests.
• But the game is divided into 3-4 chapters. When you finish a chapter, the player can start at the next chapter. So he does not have to repeat the whole story.
• It also has the advantage that I, as a designer, can make the game a bit harder later on, knowing that not so many "accidental" players will complain about having to repeat numerous hours ;)
• Important decisions and consequences are listed exactly this time, so you can see chapter by chapter which decisions you have made. If you are unhappy with a decision, you can repeat the chapter accordingly.

This new feature is a completely free update for all players. After all, the difficulty for Dead Age 2 is designed for all players. There are three levels, and for those who find the game too easy after all, they can set themselves new challenges. Beware of too heavy settings. ;) Don't forget our last big update. Here we have improved the higher skills. If you want to support us now, please write a review, so that we also survive on our huge quest. It's really hardcore difficulty level for developers to survive with masses of indie games on Steam. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36253678/831311a96db18298067272ccb00655dd6328f006.gif

Improvements
• added survival options for a new run
• changed bribe mechanic and values on bridges to match the bribe mechanic at outpost entries

Bugfixes
• fixed that characters playing guarding idle animation (e.g. from "Return Fire" skill) would only use the return fire animation for their attacks instead of the correct attack animation
• fixed AP behaving not correctly when stunned
• fixed a typo in French localization
• fixed that using "Liquid Courage" skill would qualify as a "ranged" attack and therefore unnecessarily fail the arena master challenge random event
• fixed that the bridge guard bribing event with a hostile faction didn't work as intended when failed or having insufficient money

For example, we reduced the chance of ambush attacks on day. We are also slighty reduced travel encounters in unfriendly country. But remember, if you solve the area quest in each area, the area becomes friendly and then the chances of Random Encounters are much lower and you even get some friendly events. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36253678/40fdba5bb28901e20d95bc6521bb275ecb592660.gif Don't forget our last big update. Here we have improved the higher skills. If you want to support us now, please write a review, so that we also survive on our huge quest. It's really hardcore difficulty level for developers to survive with masses of indie games on Steam. Next week we finally add additional survival options. Nothing big, but small ways to make the game harder for veterans.

Improvements
• removed the "Development Build" label
• added scrap to the goods of merchants in all Independent bases, added more scrap in scrap locations (We had community discussions that scrap was a little too low in the world)
• added resources and seeds to the crafting material filter in inventories
• slightly reduced the chances of random encounters while traveling
• slightly reduced the chance of scavenger/punk attacks on the camp during day on normal difficulty
• speech bubbles in combat regarding knock back success will now only appear if the attack threw the target back without obstructions

Bugfixes
• stunned and knocked out characters will only regain a bit stamina / AP in combat. However we will optimize this feature next week.
• fixed that the tutorial could get stuck after the very first fight when taking the loot

Most of the time you will use the 3AP skills in bigger fights. We now believe that all skills are useful, e.g. the jumping strike which now cannot be blocked as a melee skill. Also, for example, the defensive skills such as Give Cover or Return Fire, which have now become somewhat stronger.

This includes the U.S. Army quest, which now offers a more obvious second option to complete the quest even without enough U.S. Army reputation. Buying reputation is another option, but it is only available in certain situations of some special quests.
