Better Than Dead

Better Than Dead Update 0.311 is live Update 0.311 is now available. The main focus of this update is improved mouse sensitivity consistency across different DPI settings, alongside improvements to blood effects, enemy variation, movement and several fixes. Mouse sensitivity Mouse input has been adjusted to reduce differences in aiming behavior between low and high DPI configurations. Aiming should now feel more consistent across different mouse setups, particularly at higher DPI settings. If you previously found aiming difficult to control, especially on a high-DPI mouse, I recommend giving the game another try with this update. This change may address the issue you were experiencing. Blood and enemy variation Blood materials have been improved, particularly their appearance under different lighting conditions. Blood spray when an enemy is hit is also more coherent with the direction and point of impact. More clothing texture variations have also been added to enemies throughout the game. Patch Notes Improved mouse sensitivity consistency across different DPI settings. Fixed ragdoll impulses on dead or wounded enemies. Improved blood materials. Improved blood spray when hitting en

Hello everyone, A few weeks have passed since the release of the Level Select Update, and I have enjoyed seeing players return to previous missions, improve their times, and complete their first Black Star runs. Mouse Consistency and Preview Build One of the main areas I have been refining is how aiming feels across different mouse configurations.Better Than Dead depends heavily on physical weapon movement. There is no crosshair, so even small differences in mouse response can have a significant effect on the overall experience.The latest work makes the mouse behaviour more consistent across different DPI configurations and in-game sensitivity settings. This gives every player a more comparable experience and also provides a more stable foundation for future balancing and improvements to the weapon handling.If the aiming previously felt different from what you expected on your setup, I would especially appreciate your feedback on the preview build. The build is already available through the Better Than Dead Discord server. This time, I have also opened a dedicated discussion on the Steam forum, with instructions for accessing the preview branch and a place where you can leave feedb

Better Than Dead: Level Select + New Mission Update is live The Level Select Update is now live. For Better Than Dead, this is an important update because it brings the game closer to the structure I want it to have when finished. It will also make it easier for me to manage individual missions and add new ones in future updates. For players, completed missions can now be replayed directly from the main menu. You can return to your favorite levels, improve your records, and try to earn the Black Star rank without having to replay the entire main run. This system also opens the way for future additions connected to ranks, records, and other unlocks. Level Select Each unlocked mission now has its own card showing your best time and highest rank. You can replay missions as many times as you want to improve your result or simply return to your favorite fights. To unlock a mission in Level Select, it must first be unlocked in the main run. New mission and Blood Funds This rework As mentioned previously, Blood Funds This has been rebuilt and split into two missions. The first mission is completely new. It is an assault on an enemy hideout, with a new soundtrack, destructible objects, and

Better Than Dead Update 0.20 is live This update adds the first version of the new Training Range. After completing the first level, the Training Range will be unlocked and can be accessed from the main menu. Training Range For now, the Training Range is mainly designed for new players who want to try the aiming system, practice with the pistol, and understand the basic rhythm of Better Than Dead in a safer space. It also works as an optional tutorial where you can experiment with sliding, bullet time, close-range shooting. I see the Training Range as the first version of a small hub that I would like to expand in the future. One small element inside it is already connected to your progress in the game. Bullet penetration and aiming This update also adds bullet penetration for selected materials. Some doors and wooden surfaces can now be shot through, making close-range fights feel more natural. Aiming stability has also been improved. Patch Notes Added the first version of the Training Range. Added bullet penetration for selected materials. Improved baseline aiming stability. Fixed audio volume settings for SFX, voice, and music. Fixed an issue where the player could sometimes rem
