Hi! My name is Daniel, I would like to introduce the Unreal Community to Damned 2. A sequel for a multiplayer horror game developed by me and my friend.
In Damned, you can play as a survivor locked inside a building, searching for itens and other stuff to escape, or you can play as a monster, that needs to find, scare and hunt all survivors.
The development stage is at pre-production, and we have a playable prototype that our community is helping us testing it. If you want to know more about it, you can reach us at our Discord channel.
Hope you’re well and having a great week so far!
Wow, this looks spookily incredible! The environments are exactly what I’d want from this sort of game. That combined with the awesome gameplay - Damned 2 looks like a hit. How many monsters are there currently? And do you plan on adding more?
Thanks for sharing and I’ll definitely be checking this one out!
We currently have just one monster, but like the first game, it will have more, with different abilities and gameplay mechanics.
For this prototype, e are focusing on the multiplayer mechanics and reliability of the networking systems. Once we get all this set, we’ll focus on content.
Thank you for sharing information about “Damned 2’s” development with the UE community! The linked game description video was impressive, and the screenshots/gameplay looks very promising! Can you tell me more about why you decided to create a new game instead of building upon the original “Damned” series?
Hey!
So Damned 1 was made in 2012, using a proprietary engine. We no longer develop this engine since 2016. UE5 its a walk in the park compared to our old solution.
First, I have to compliment the narrators work. They did a brilliant job of creating the vibe of the video immediately. Especially with that “run” dialogue, it gave me the chills instantly. Secondly, the puzzles look wonderful. Which is not something I usually pay particular attention to but it looks both fun and terrifying to experience. I can’t wait to see a playthrough of this
Kudos on releasing “Damned 2’s” announcement trailer! That was an incredible video from start to finish.
Everything in the teaser boasted very polished gameplay; would you say you’re closer to releasing “Damned 2” at the end of this year or the beginning of the next?
Release date still unknown, we are about to do a Playtest at steam soon to get feedback about the main features and game play loop. After that is a matter of evaluating the feedback and deciding the next steps.
Since we are a duo of devs. its hard to pinpoint a launch window since we often don’t know what await us in the next corner of the development life. ^^
No worries; thank you for taking the time to get back to me at all. I see you mentioned a playtest. Will that be available to users who have wish-listed the game, or are you releasing a demo?
To have access to the play test, you just need to click to join the queue in the steam page, and once we release the playtest, you’ll have access, pretty easy.
It would be awesome if you could join as well.
