Preparing for release

CHEMISTS: Dead Zone — May-June 2026 (Q2)

Dear Chemists and friends of the project! I'd like to share our release plans:

Why this specific date?

Over the past 7 years of development, games have become more than just a game for me. Thousands of hours of tweaking the game and writing code, creating locations, fixing bugs, watching your streams and feedback on the game. But now I'm creating a remaster—not just an update, but the best version of the project possible within this timeframe.

What requires additional time:

1. Major update:

✅ Ore system from caves to alloy production.

✅ New NPCs and Quests

✅ New Portuguese language

✅ New achievements

✅ New locations

✅ New vehicles

✅ Optimization for Steam algorithms

✅ Reworking old systems for new mechanics.

1. Remastering = double the work:

• Reworking legacy code

• Implementing new systems

• Testing

✅ What's already ready and working:

• Ore mining

• Furnace for ingots and alloys

• 37 achievements

• Mining other resources

Your role is critical:

👉 WISHLIST = notification + release discount

👉 Repost = + visibility to Steam algorithms

👉 Discord = feedback → fewer bugs.

Help ensure a smooth launch on Steam, and the game will develop even further and better.

ADD TO WISHLIST

Thank you for your patience and trust.

See you in the Dead Zone! ☢️☣️

Sincerely, Pavel

Developer, CHEMISTS: Dead Zone
