Deadlock 7DFPS

This is Deadlock: the original prototype made during the 2012 7DFPS of the FPS-Platformer DeadCore.

Back in the days and due to the limited time and other constraints, we quickly thought about making a first person game without any combat/damage system and the platforming genre quickly imposed itself on us.

The 1st build available on this page is what we submitted for the jam after working on it for a week.

As we were happy with the small prototype from the 7DFPS we kept adding content and polishing it until the point where we realized we could actually turn it into an actual game we could sell: the 2nd build is what we had after working a bit more than a year on it.

After a 2.5 years development, many events and festivals we attended where we would gather players feedback (like the 2014 GDC where we were invited on Unity booth), Deadlock - now renamed DeadCore - was finally released on Steam:

Nowadays we are working on a remaster called DeadCore Redux:

As you can see, the fundamentals elements that define the game DNA were already present in this first prototype and that’s why we felt confident in building onto it despite not having raised the funds needed beforehand.

It has been a long journey from the 7DFPS to the Steam release with lots of memories and we are very happy to share a small part of it with you.

We hope you will still enjoy it and would gladly know what you think about it!

Cheers,

Studio 5 Bits Games
