To our community:
We wanted to follow up on yesterday’s message to better address the questions you are actually asking and that matter most to you.
I’ve been obsessed with DBD ever since I started playing in 2019. I loved the game, I loved the characters, I loved the community, and I loved the devs… I felt safe in this community to be myself and express my favourite interest and characters with people who also loved this game as much as I do without the fear of being attacked for what I enjoy. After what has happened with TheBurntPeanut, I no longer feel that way.
Seeing the way that his fanbase has been acting towards our community is disheartening. The employee who gave him everything in the game stated “we can take the heat.” It’s not you taking it anymore, it’s us. The community that you have been building as a safe and supportive space for everyone regardless of gender, gender identity, sexuality, sexual orientation, race, etc., is now under attack from those who directly oppose those beliefs. And you welcomed them in.
The response @DeadbyDaylight / @DbDPulse gave was pathetic. I’m sorry, it was. You talk about our “core values” but never say what those are. You don’t truly know, do you? If you were really “heartbroken at the inflammatory language” being directed at us, you would have not allowed it in the first place knowing what kind of person TheBurntPeanut is. And why was this posted on the DbDPulse account and not the main DeadByDaylight account? This seems like the type of thing that should be posted on the main account because of how big this issue is. There was no real accountability taken, an apology for “letting us down” is disingenuous and a cop-out.
To TheBurntPeanut fans attacking our community, going after @GOREJ1RA (love you, Gore) and other LGBTQIA2S+ people in our community are absolutely disgusting. You are all pathetic.
I’m finding it very difficult at the moment to want to support Dead By Daylight and enjoy the game and space I’ve loved so much for the past almost 8 years because of this situation and how poorly it was handled by the Dead By Daylight Team. You can do better. I’m absolutely devastated.

This apology absolutely skirts around the points being made by us. Trying to Frame this as an internal approval issue completely sidesteps the big question, why was this particular creator being given these benefits in the first place?? what was the reason that led to the decision? Trying to say the correct approvals weren't obtained doesn't really address any of the concerns people have nor does it explain WHY those concerns were initially dismissed (YOU EVEN SAID SO IN THIS APOLOGY) Accountability means addressing the decision itself and not just the process surrounding it.
You also reference your "core values" without defining what those are or how any of this contradicts them? If these values are so important to Dead by Daylight enough to invoke an apology with that included then surely the community deserves to understand what they mean in practice! Values shouldn't just be a convenient phrase that is used to distance a company from individual conduct it should be something consistently demonstrated, which lacks in this entire situation.
Threats and harassment towards employees are completely unacceptable and nobody should be subjected to that but it's important not to conflate that behaviour with actual criticism or use it to try and overshadow the concerns being raised. The community has EVERY right to question your decisions and expect answers. You acknowledge you've let people down but offer such little transparency and accountability or meaningful reassurance about what will change in the future. The community deserve an apology that dresses the issue itself and not just the fallout.
This weekend, a Dead by Daylight team member awarded in-game content and currency to a creator streaming our game. Although it is not unusual to unlock content to give creators discovering DbD a chance to have a sneak peek at available content, this decision was made without receiving appropriate approvals. Furthermore, the team member's subsequent comments and conduct do not align with Dead by Daylight’s core values.
When concerns about this decision became apparent during the stream, we should have responded by looking into these concerns, not dismissing them.
Unfortunately, we’ve now seen the fallout of this decision unfolding in many conversations across the DbD community. We appreciate and stand with our community’s willingness to ensure our shared values are being upheld, at all times, regardless of popularity, and we’re heartbroken at the inflammatory language now being directed towards our community.
At the same time, threatening employees will never be acceptable, and we’re asking everyone to stop engaging with these posts.
We apologize to our community for letting you down. We have already begun reviewing our internal processes to prevent an incident like this from happening again.
Random thing I decided to do
What I would change about springtrap’s power in dbd
Axe
NEW: If a survivor that has the axe in them is grabbed by The Animatronic while that survivor is on death hook, it will trigger a mini-mori, instantly killing the survivor.
BUFF: Time required for a survivor to remove the axe from themselves increased to 9.25 seconds (was 8)
BUFF: Time required for a survivor to remove the axe from someone else increased to 5.8 seconds (was 5)
BUFF: Fire axe grab distance increased to 4.5 metres (was 3)
Doors
REWORK: For a survivor to look through the cameras, they must step into the office rather than just standing at the doors. While in the office, if The Animatronic enters any door, the survivor will be grabbed. While in the office, the survivor can lock the door they are currently looking at. Locking a door will cancel the revealing of The Animatronic until the door is unlocked. Only one door can be locked at a time. While a door is locked, There is a visual cue on the door that indicates that it’s locked and no one can enter or exit through it. While the door is locked, The Office Power is rapidly drained. A door only becomes unlocked once a different door is locked, the door is unlocked by the survivor the same way it was locked, the survivor exits the office, or the power runs out. Only one survivor can be in the office at a time.
NEW: When the Office Power runs out, there will be a global sound cue that the power is now out, and the survivor in the office will be unable to leave for 5 seconds, during this time, only The Animatronic may enter the doors.
NEW: When not being revealed through the cameras for a certain amount of time, The Animatronic’s terror radius becomes smaller incrementally. (24m to 18m to 12m to 0m). When revealed, The Animatronic’s terror radius will be increased two increments, maximum of 24m (Example: if The Animatronic gets revealed while their terror radius is 0m, it’s set to 18m. If they’re revealed at 18m, the terror radius is set to 24m). After being revealed, The Animatronic cannot be revealed again for 25 seconds.
NERF: Undetectable from travelling through doors linger duration decreased to 10 seconds (was 20)
CHANGE: The Animatronic can no longer disable the camera with their axe.
CHANGE: The Animatronic no longer gets an audio or visual cue when a survivor is revealing them through a camera, only when they are fully revealed do they get one.
CHANGE: A red light is visible coming from the camera while someone is revealing The Animatronic.
CHANGE: The screen on the security doors no longer flicker or glitch when The Animatronic is travelling to it.
Add-ons
Greasy Paper Plate - NERF: Increases the time required for survivors to remove the axe by 10% (was 15%)
Security Guard’s Badge - BUFF: When exiting a Security door after a teleport, gain the Undetectable status effect for 50% longer (was 25%)
Party Hat - NEW: Survivors within the axe’s area of effect gain the Oblivious status effect for 15 seconds
Faz-Coin - BUFF: Upon throwing the axe, it gains a terror radius of 24 meters until it is reclaimed. You gain the Undetectable status effect for 15 seconds (was 10)
“You’re a Prideful one, aren’t you?”
Here’s my Day: 20 for #Drawsaken , Phosphorus! (With a bit of an addition, Dmen’s scythe 👀)
(If you’re the owner of Phosphorus and don’t want me to use them in my lore for my forsaken OC, please lmk! I’ll switch it up :) )
Custom LMS icons for my OCs Brave and Dmen! Along with their special LMS with each other!
I’m pretty happy with this, especially considering the lore I have for them and how they used to share the same body 👀.
Also, Day: 18 of #Drawsaken :)
Hope you like them as well!
“You two will be PERFECT”
Hey y’all! Here’s day: 14 of #Drawsaken , The Scpectre (+ a cameo of my OCs)!

A Detailed Thread on Yourself Skins & their issues.🧵 #forsaken
I think they are some of the most neglected things in this game.
I'll try to help explaining why, and what can they do to fix them bc i REALLY think 20k skins should not be allowed to stay as unfinished as they are
“Live or die. Make your choice.”
Here’s my Taph “Pig” skin concept inspired by Amanda Young, John Kramer, and the Saw movies.
This is the last skin concept that I’ll put under the forsaken tombstone hashtag and probably (maybe not) the last skin concept I’ll post/make for a lil bit. Hope y’all have liked my Halloween skin concepts this year!

“Buildings burn and people die, but the Spawn is forever.”
Here’s my Two Time “The Crow” skin concept inspired by Eric Draven and The Crow (1994)
I wanted to make sure that this skin was recognizable as an homage to The Crow, while still making sure it was unique enough for Two Time to call their own.

Here's my submissions for the fake ad stuff! (+ 1 in replies)
I might make more in the future if i feel like it :)

Why can you stun Noli during Void Rush? It’s so freaking stupid, like, you just genuinely can’t dodge
“Deesekkurr” Dusekkar Skin Concept!
Hey y’all! Here’s a new skin concept I’ve made for Dusekkar, Deesekkurr! They are inspired by this pumpkin I carved last Halloween and the other silly Dusekkar skins like Umdum!
