Great to hear that Better Than Dead was one of the most requested games at the MicroProse booth during Gamescom.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by and played it, and to the whole MicroProse team

Some time ago, someone on Discord suggested a new map based around a mass grave where the girls were buried.
I liked the idea, so I started working on a level with that theme.

I’ve realized that many of the films that inspired Better Than Dead are barely known anymore...
This is Jade Leung in Black Cat, 1991.

I made a game about an untrained young woman fighting her way through Hong Kong with one pistol.
It’s called Better Than Dead.

The beginning of the final shootout in Bullet for Hire.
One of my favorite Hk movies...
It definitely influenced my game, Better Than Dead

Black Star on the new level.
A full run shared by a player on Discord.
What I like most about Better Than Dead is watching an untrained young woman become a professional killer through the player’s skill alone.
No upgrades. No stats to inflate.
The character doesn’t level up. The player does.

Better Than Dead’s first major update is live.
It brings BTD closer to what I imagined.
Level Select lets you replay missions and improve your ranks. There’s also an entirely new mission.
Thank you for supporting BTD and the kind of FPS I’m building.

I answered a few questions about Better Than Dead for a Hong Kong channel.
The video is in Cantonese and goes into the cinema that inspired the game, and what I wanted to express with it.
For anyone curious about me and the project:

New Better Than Dead dev log.
I wanted to give a clear update on where the game is now, what changed since Early Access launch, and what comes next.
BTD is getting sharper, fairer, and closer to the game I want it to become.

A player modded Better Than Dead and turned it into a pure adrenaline shootout
No reloads, different music, full god mode energy.
Not normal gameplay, but pretty wild to watch.

I uploaded a full playthrough of the Nightclub level from Better Than Dead.
A nightclub full of light, noise, bullets, and a girl too angry to stop.

Better Than Dead is out now on Steam Early Access.
It is not a standard FPS.
Move forward. Slide. Trigger bullet time. Get close.
Shoot.
Seeing people already connect with the game means a lot.
Thank you for being here on day one.
