Hi survivors,

It's been a while, but we've just released a new update for Deadly Days! Just in time for Steam Scream Fest. Read to the end to find out more news about the Deadly Days universe.

In the classic Deadly Days you will now meet the Hoarder character from Deadly Days: Roadtrip (there we call him "Survivor") and may notice some minor improvements to the game. Details in the patchnotes below.

• Added: Hoarder character (+1 free item slot on lvl 5, +1 on lvl 10 -- doesn't "consume" buyable slots, so in total 2 more slots are possible when playing with this character)
  
• Improved: Healing logic now prefers character with most missing health, relative to max health
  
• Improved: Game pauses now when controller is disconnected
  
• Fixed: Performance drops when generating game over screen
  
• Fixed: Rare edge case where survivor mission house wouldn't spawn if map really small
  
• Fixed: Edge case where failing by starving would show broken game over screen
  
• Fixed: Sometimes workshop crafting screen could be opened while loading screen still active.
  
• Fixed: Turkish systems showed "tofu" characters when i characters were used in text
  
• Fixed: Medic heal description was in %, but is supposed to be absolute
  
• Fixed: Toxic sludge weapon upgrade didn't scale with 300%, like writtein in description
  
• Fixed "Planning room" leveling up did trigger when entering bus; now triggers in base (and thus e.g. treasure hunter drops its item in base)
