This is our first public multiplayer step: a focused 1v1 mode built to get real matches running, harden the online combat foundation, and gather feedback on weapon feel, pacing, clarity, and UI flow.

Single-player chaos is still the soul of DVD Survivors. Duels is intentionally tighter right now so the multiplayer foundation can get solid before the madness gets turned up further.

If you jump in, the most helpful feedback right now is:

• weapon feel and balance

• stun duration / pacing

• match length and round flow

• lobby, chat, and ready-state clarity

• bugs, weird behavior, and anything that feels off

Duels is fun now, but it’s also important groundwork for where multiplayer goes next.

Thanks for playing, testing, and telling me what’s busted!

DVDNet is Live!
This is an 'under construction' implementation, with only a few components enabled while I gather user feedback, gameplay data, and more to work on optimizing the experience. Please forgive design issues, bugs, errors, disconnects, bad UI or UX, and more. These things WILL be addressed, ASAP!

We’ve heard the community loud and clear. For week, people have been asking the same question:

“But what about Wii U?”

Today, we are beyond proud to finally confirm that DVD Survivors: Wii U Edition is officially in development.

That’s right. The ultimate screen-bouncing, corner-slamming, pop-up-destroying digital survival experience is making the leap to the console that was simply too advanced for its time.

What’s new in the Wii U Edition?

• Full support for the revolutionary second screen, so you can watch one screen while another screen tries to kill you

• Touchscreen inventory management for builds that absolutely should not work

• Exclusive Corner Forecast™ on the GamePad so you can emotionally prepare for the perfect hit

• Authentic “living room chaos” mode

• A cinematic presentation carefully optimized for “wait, is this thing still on?” energy

We also took great care to preserve the core DVD Survivors experience you know and love:

• bouncing off walls

• smashing corners

• collecting bytes

• stacking absurd weapons

• deleting digital garbage from existence

• and, of course, surviving the screen-born nonsense for just one more run

The team has spent countless hour making sure this version fully captures the spirit of the platform. Some features are still being finalized, including:

• Miiverse integration

• StreetPass corner tracking

• an extremely loud disc menu option

• and whether we can find a Wii U that still boots on the first try

We know this announcement will mean a lot to the passionate Wii U community, all twelve of you.

Thank you for believing in us. Thank you for believing in the dream. Thank you for believing that the DVD Survivor logo can still hit the corner on hardware from another age.

In the meantime, the actual version of DVD Survivors is available right here on Steam. Go hit the corner for real, or smash your friends DVD Survivor into a million pieces. Duels launching this week.

Happy April 1st from Signal Spike Games
