Development Is Back!

Development Is Back!

After a hiatus, I'm back working on Survivor Joe Lost Island and development has resumed.

A few things have changed since I last worked on the game, including the addition of multiplayer and a change to how I plan to release it.

The base game will now be free

Survivor Joe Lost Island will now be completely free.

The base game will include Temple Crawler, Deathmatch and online multiplayer . There won't be a purchase required to play any of these modes.

With multiplayer now being a bigger part of the game, I think making the base game free makes more sense and hopefully means there will be more people around to play with.

Temple Crawler now has online co-op

Temple Crawler is the roguelike mode and can now be played alone or in online co-op . Team up with a friend or find another player online and take on a run together.

Fight through forests, Tiki strongholds and lava caves, look for hidden loot and pick up new weapons and upgrades along the way. Each run starts fresh, with branching levels, different encounters and four bosses to get through.

Deathmatch

I've also added Deathmatch , which can be played against AI bots or online with up to seven other players .

Everyone has the same stats and skins are purely cosmetic. What you manage to find and how well you use it is what matters.

Story Mode

The original Story Mode is still coming , but it will now be released separately as paid DLC .

The free base game will focus on Temple Crawler and Deathmatch, while the DLC will contain the campaign and Joe's story.

There's still work left to do, but development is active again and I'll have more to share as the game gets closer to release.

Thanks to everyone who kept following or wishlisted the game while development was on pause!
