When I started this, I was hoping for 10k wishlists at launch. Now during Next Fest I have gone over that with 10650+ with the pre alpha demo!
Thank you to everyone that can see the vision and has shown interest in the project. Over 4000 have claimed the demo and over 2000 have played it during the fest so far!
There is still time on the clock to play it and get a small taste of what is to come with the 80s slasher camp survival horror. π§ββοΈπ
A few patches have been made already based on your feedback including a whole new DX11 compatibility mode so more players can join in, with more fixes being worked on.
Thank you campers π€
Did anyone find the graveyard? ππͺ¦

DX12 mode vs DX11 mode:
The left video is the standard mode being run on a RTX 2060 on low settings and on SSD.
The right is the DX11 mode running on the same system but on higher graphic settings.
The frames are better even on higher settings and the GPU usage is down on DX11.
Please do not use this mode if you are using systems targeted for DX12! Use on 10 and 20 series cards as you won't get the benefit.
I am still working on optimising for 30+ series cards.
Even though controller support is still being worked on I tested it on Steamdeck and got 23-26 FPS just to give an idea of lower systems.
Anyone still struggling to run on the recommended specs the only thing I can think of is the SSD and HDD differences in performance. Please make sure drivers are up to date even though these drivers I'm using here are on my old system with old drivers. Some CPUs also may struggle if below recommended or minimum specs.
Some bad feedback seems to be from people not using the new DX11 mode and some have stated to be using specs even below the minimum advised specs. For this I can't suggest anything as if you are using below minimum specs.
This game was built to be used with DX12 in mind to allow modern lighting features and graphics. When running on newer systems on higher graphics the game plays as intended with the atmosphere and lighting it was intended to use.
If you are running on DX11 and on low settings you won't get the full effect of the games design but to try allow more players to join in I added this option, if you don't like the graphics running on the lowest settings I'm sorry but there isn't much I can do and feel insulting the game over it is unfair. It was either this or running strictly for DX12 only and making it only available for high end systems.
I have to take a lot longer to patch now as I'm building two versions each patch so I really hope it's worth it but please don't give bad feedback when you're using specs the game is not designed for and if running as recommended I am proud of how the game looks.
Thank you.
Campers! Please update the game I have added a DX11 version as an option for the demo! I rebuild the game with different lighting, shader settings etc and this should help with performance and work on more systems now! I just tested it on my old rig and got a FPS boost.
Just press play like normal and you will get a option window as shown here.
Also it runs better on SSD which goes without saying but this seems to have also been part of the performance issues.

This Halloween party at the summer camp wasn't such a good idea...ππͺ

Campers! We made it to the featured section for survival horror on the Steam Next Fest page! π¬ Ah I'm so happy! π

π¨Real talk campers!π¨
These past weeks have been really hard and I must be honest I was considering pulling the demo for Steam Next fest. With all the trouble with our house being damaged, getting the demo ready and getting it to a working state and working on the Patreon builds, it has been a lot.
That being said, I don't want to let the community down that have supported the game and I didn't want this Halloween to go wrong. So after locking in and a lot of caffeine I have decided to go ahead with the demo launch this next fest tomorrow!
Just to be transparent, there is some cut content and features that just need longer to cook, there is some bugs and issues I am aware of. But the point of this is so I can improve the game to make it a better experience for you. I will be reading through discussions on Steam!
So with this pre alpha demo, I hope to give you a taste of what's to come and to keep pushing fixes from your feedback.
I need to thank the patrons who supported the game because without them I wouldn't have made it this far, and for patrons I will be dropping a new build for Halloween!
Have fun at camp! ποΈπ§ββοΈ

Games need to be a form of escapism, not dictated by modern guidelines for what is deemed acceptable. In the 80s nudity, horror and gore went hand in hand in slasher films, so I want to give you a game to escape back to that. ποΈπ§ββοΈ

I've been asked about this clip and the amount of shots required to get the kill. This is a unique enemy and I'm planning on more little mini bosses around the map.
This is also before the new animations and some infected will be a lot faster! But taking them on gives loot! π§ββοΈ

If you're looking for an 80s slasher camp experience with tropes from the classic films, not censored, rich story, zombies and a range of characters and outfits. Then drop a follow/wishlist and head on down to the Red Pine Lake summer camp! ποΈπ§ββοΈ

It's your game, you should choose what you wear. Which is your favourite outfit so far for Annie? ππ
TJ | Aftermath Z: Red Pine Lake ππ§ββοΈ retweeted
The Community have made it clear, you want:
- Physical media you own
- Offline single player experiences
- A multiplayer slasher camp mode
- no censorship
- Real VA
I am happy to announce I plan to tick all these boxes with this unapologetic 80s survival horror. π§ββοΈποΈ
