Survivors,
The wait is finally over. After months of development in the shadows, I am thrilled to announce the official release of Undead Survival Online (v0.1). Starting today, you can gather your friends, prepare your character sheets, and face the apocalypse together directly from your browser.
What's inside this Technical Beta?
This version 0.1 focus on the core experience: providing a functional and immersive Virtual Tabletop (VTT) for your sessions.
- Host your own Sessions: Any registered user can now create a room and become the Game Master (GM).
- Real-time Synchronization: Whether it's a desperate dice roll, a health point update, or a chat message, everything happens instantly for all players.
- The GM Command Center: As a GM, you have total control. Manage the bestiary, summon Infected, distribute XP, and handle the inventory of your players in real-time.
- Player Tools: Access your character sheet, track your abilities, and use the Personal Notes system, allowing you to keep track of your secrets (though remember, the GM's eyes are everywhere...).
- Atmosphere: Enjoy built-in background music and scene management to set the right mood for your survival story.
On the Horizon: The Campaign Mode
While this v0.1 is a sandbox for your own stories, we are officially working on an ambitious Campaign Mode.
Our goal is to provide a massive, interactive world map accessible to everyone (This is really ambitious). You will be able to track your progress, discover new territories, and experience a scripted survival journey. This is a huge undertaking that will take time to develop, but we wanted to share our vision with you early on. More updates on this "Grand Map" will follow as development progresses!
A Note on the "Beta" Experience
This is a v0.1 Technical Beta. We have built the foundations, but like any survival situation, it can be unpredictable:
- Desktop Only: The interface is currently optimized for large screens only. Mobile support is not yet available.
- Bugs are the real threat: You might encounter visual glitches, sync issues, or unexpected behavior. This is why we need you!
- Account Required: To join a session or create a character, you must have a verified account. Make sure to validate your email before jumping into the fray.
Help us improve!
Found a bug? Have a suggestion? We have added a dedicated "Report a Bug" button in the game options and on the tool bar a the bottom. You can also join our Discord to discuss feedback directly with us in the #bug-reports and #game-feedback channels.
Thank you for being part of this journey from the very beginning. Good luck out there... you are going to need it.
