"You emerge from the shelter into the dim light of an overcast day, and look around for the first time since the disaster.
The world as you knew it is gone. A ruined world stands in its place, full of nightmares come to life. Nothing can ever go back to the way it was, before the Cataclysm, but you have to be strong. You have to survive. You have to persevere. If you don't, death will be one of the better outcomes.
Above your head, storm clouds gather, and the rain stings and hisses against your skin. You shoulder your backpack, and start walking. The world has gone to hell, but you get the sinking feeling that there are darker days ahead."
The original Cataclysm was a great game, but it's developer, Whales, has moved on to new pastures. That leaves us to carry to the torch. Building on the original Cataclysm code base, we hope that DDA becomes the new standard moving forward, and helps push the game out to a wider audience.
I'm not one of the more important people here - I'm just the guy who set up the website and forums. The real masters behind this version are the many people who've contributed to the code base to bring it to the state it is today. Whales, obviously, but also the people who continue development despite the lack of any official capacity.
First, The Darkling Wolf - Without DW, this project wouldn't exist. The Darkling Wolf Mod managed to enhance the core Cataclysm game and pull together other amazing improvements from a wide variety of developers, leading to the original version of Dark Days Ahead. Fellow Administrator of the forums, and the offical "face" of the new project, DW is the person you should complain to if anything goes wrong, and the person you should laud (along with the other active devs) for the things you love. The Darkling Wolf will also be making the determination of what features end up included in the "official" and current version of Dark Days Ahead.
We also couldn't have pulled this together without a lot of hard work by Creidieki, Uzername, Kevingranade, HerbertJones, Gim, Shades and Origamiwolf. Hopefully, they'll all stop by sooner or later and introduce themselves, and continue making Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead even better.
And thanks to everyone reading this, because YOU are the people we're doing this for!
Note:
If you're interested in contributing, put your ideas into practice and post in the modding forum! We look forward to seeing what you can do.
-Wooden Spears can be used to roast meat and veggy chunks.
-Fence posts, can be placed from the construction menu and (e)xamined to make an assortment of fences.
-Evac Shelters have a bit more life to them.
-Windows in houses have curtains which can be opened and closed, and may themselves be opened and closed.
-Garages which contain assorted mechanical tools and have a small chance of containing an intact vehicle.
-Planks may be placed over pits and spiked pits in order to make them safe to cross.
-Rubble, Wreckage and ash may be cleared up with a shovel.
-Metal bars (such as those found in police stations) can be cut away by (a)ctivating a hacksaw.
-Cots and Rollmats, which may be placed by (a)ctivating them, and make it easier to sleep on a tile.
-Some furniture may be shoved around on floors.
-Select Fire mode, weapon mods and guns can be loaded at the same time, meaning you can have a grenade in your M203 without needing to empty your magazine first. (To access this feature, press the ? key, press 2, scroll down the list and assign a letter to select fire)
-Small quantities of nails drop when furniture is smashed up.
-Ammunition may be deconstructed and crafted, via finding a kinetic bullet puller and die set in gun stores.
-Containers can hold multiple charges of liquid, such as jerrycans which hold 40 charges of water.
-Jackhammers can be used to drill up roads and floors.
-Walls and floors, when destroyed, have a chance of destroying any adjacent wall and floor tiles.
-Fitted versions of clothing, which have lower encumbrance than regular clothes.
So yes, a splinter group has come together to try and continue getting Cataclysm better situated overall. :)
-
could you guys please add a fullscreen mode? The game windows is not adjustable and way too small for my eyes to see.
-
On Windows, you can open the data folder and edit the fontdata file, resizing the text will also resize the window. It's not very pretty, but it works for now.
-
Oh, that's awesome, I wondered what happened to Cataclysm. Did Whales start working on a new game or did he just get sick of Cataclysm?
-
He's working on another project, Body and Soul (http://github.com/Whales/body-and-soul) and had generally gotten a little bit bored with the Post apoc setting.
-
I guess why people doesn't include game screenshots in their releases.
A lack of screenshots may deter many people to download the game.
And anyone programming a RL game knows how to take screenshots.
-
Jan 20 and such:
Item Disassembly - Press the ( key and select any item from your inventory to disassemble it. In most cases, this will require the same tools required to craft the item, and the game will tell you which tools you need. (Note, the game will only tell you the first tool on the list, but any will work. For example, an item which required either a Steak Knife or Combat Knife as a tool, the game will only tell you you need a Steak Knife, but will accept a Combat Knife) - Thanks to DinoCat for this entire feature
Chain Link Fences - These currently only spawn around basketball courts, and can be climbed over by (e)xamining them. There's a chance to fall down and lose 2 turns if you fail, but zombies can only bash through them and not climb them.
Bugfixes
Innumerable small bugfixes, most notably water now has the correct charges when spawned in bottles.
Larger fix, shell casings now stack appropriately again, thanks to Kevingranade for the bugfix.
(Kevin Granade) - Added some cocktails and mixed drinks. Lots of various tent related fixes and improvements.
(Zack Hovatter) Added option for new world, some fixes for compiling on macs and code to make NPCs to move out of the way
(Williham Totland) Added a ton of various changes.
(Origamiwolf) - Ability to reload gasoline tools using (r) command,
Vegetarian changed to meat allergy to better synch up with ingame effects.
Chain Link Fences.
Gates for those fences.
Bolt cutters, used to open locked gates and cut wire from fences.
Military Outposts now have concrete walls, and the external fence is chain link with gates.
A bunch of other various fixes and minor tweaks.
Construction menu is even more broken.
This release is mostly bugfixes and behind the scenes changes, so there's no real changelog to post.
-
The Windows executable link on the page still refers to the January 3 build. When can we expect the January 20 build into a Windows executable to be available?
Thanks for your time.
-
Only one particular guy is updating the main page on that front, otherwise the current build and such is available in the forum there.
-
Got it. Many thanks.
-
Yeah, always check the announcement forum for the most up to date releases, I generally only do those once I have a decent amount of stuff though, my Github gets updates nearly every day.
-
Feb 24

-
v0.1
We've started using a proper versioning system, for convenience.
Changes
Not a massive amount in this release, mostly bugfixes, but we've tossed a couple new things in.
-Palisade Walls and Gates - Pretty tough to bash down, and can be fired throguh
-Log Walls - Basically the same as wood walls, different construction methods.
-The ability to disassemble tshirts and tank tops by hand. - Handy for bleeding.
-Revolver Shotgun - Not much to say on this.
-A whole ton of misc fixes, to all kinds of stuff.
A bunch of new bugs for you to discover and yell at us about.
-
v0.2
Mostly behind the scenes changes and fixes this release.
The biggest new thing is the reworked spawning option, you can now choose to use a static spawn system, wherein the game spawns all of the zombies as soon as the game starts, this means you can clear out a section of town and it will stay more or less cleared.
We also have a new inventory menu that allows you to do such things as unload items from your inventory, no more need to manually wield those hundred flashlights.
Also the beginning of a rework of input code, this has had the undesired side effect of breaking the use of the escape key to exit menus, you'll need to use space bar.
Finally, a new machine has been added to hospitals as a nice, if rather grisly, solution to losing limbs.
-
v0.3
Changes
There's a changelog now. Which has the bulk of the changes in it.
Summary:
Tons of bugfixes, going down stairs, walking around, breathing, should hopefully no longer cause crashes.
A bunch of survivalcrafts, you can be more or less self sufficient in the wilderness now (The system is still somewhat WIP, and will be balanced in future.
A few new monsters to discover and get killed by.
Note:
Don't use character templates from older versions of the game. They break things.

These really are just the highlights, we incorporated literally hundreds of changes since 0.5.
The Kickstarter:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/568375735/cataclysm-dark-days-ahead-dedicated-developer
So how much do you want, and what are we getting for it?
Our initial goal is just $7,000 dollars, which allow Ethan to dedicate three months of effort to the project. Along with the "time", there are a few other feature obligations that are going to come along with this. The bulk of these three months are going to spent developing the following features:
Full Graphics Support - Cataclysm is a roguelike, and roguelike has traditionally meant the ASCII graphics you'll see in many of the examples above. To be honest, we love that stuff, and many Cataclysm fans do. But others don't - they like pictures, and animations, and things that actually look sort-a kind-a maybe like the objects their supposed to be representing. If you're one of those people, have no fear; full graphical support - for sprites, tilesets, conceivably other graphics things I can't think of - is something we're working on as I type, and Ethan is going to dedicate himself not just to fully implementing it, but doing it well. You'll be able to plug in and play with a variety of community provided graphics packs, many of which already exist and are ready to go. You'll always have the option to play with the traditional text-based interface, if you wish, but gorgeous pictures and adorable little animations will provide an equally enthralling experience.
Extreme Vertical - Right now, Cataclysm is a bit... flat. You can explore underground basement levels, but there are no skyscrapers to climb, no deadly mutant buzzards flying far above your head, and no kicking zombies out of third story windows into an alleyway before jumping across to the opposite roof and opening up on on the crowd in the parking lot below with your m249 light machine gun. You can't do any of that right now, and that's a damned shame! If we reach our goal, one of our priorities is going to be fixing that.
The World Factory and Mod Manager - Right now, you do generate a single basic world depending on the mode you've chosen, and that world exists until you destroy it - but we can do a whole lot more than that. With this tool, you'll be able to manage multiple worlds at the same time, and when you generate a world you'll be able to tweak settings, pull in mods created by other players, and share your world with others in a conveniently packaged form. How cool is that, right? Think zombies are dumb? Replace them all with dinosaurs. It's that simple.
And, of course...
More Monsters, More Locations, More Emergent Lore, and some Serious Bugfixing
Is that it?
No! Well, at least we hope not. Obviously, the other developers will still be putting in what time they can, and with you're help, we hope to manage far more than three months! What we really want is a full year, and we've got a lot we're hoping to accomplish in that time. Yes, that's right, we have... STRETCH GOALS!
Batches of stretch goals will be announced in full as soon as we think we'll hit our target, but here's an inkling of some things that will appear on the list:
Physical rewards! - We're hoping to actually print out and ship out some of the digital rewards as physical goods. Stretch goals will unlock first the physical reward tier itself, and then add more and more items to it as number of items we can afford grows larger!
Stealth - A full stealth system, along with an AI, light level, and notifications rewrite. It's gonna be so sweet.
Research - A knowledge gathering and learning/research system, that will allow you to study and experiment on enemies and objects, and keep journals of what you've found, for a variety of in-game benefits and a good deal of lore.
A Dynamic World - Survivor factions that grow and change, the ability for all of the different monstrous groups to fight amongst themselves and try to expand their territory, portal zones that form connections to other worlds and alter the reality around them in ours, and a whole bunch of other stuff. We're hoping to bring in lots of things to really bring the world of Cataclysm to life.
Improved NPCs - The NPCs in Cataclysm right now are a bit lackluster - they are a bit buggy, disabled by default, and have terrible AI. But we're planning to fix that, on way or another, and more dev time means better NPCs. Deeper dialogue, more complex player interactions, the formation of NPC factions and settlements, and the ability to the player to lead bands of NPCs and give them orders are all things we're hoping to accomplish.
Improved Infrastructure - You can already build houses and cars, but it's a fairly limited process for fixed structures. Vertical construction, excavation, and wiring up areas with power are all on the radar. I'm sure you've all been craving the ability to leave your own unique mark on the world, in the form of your own expansive, personal research lab, or, and this is more likely from my experience with the internets, a huge nuclear-powered light up phallic object. Either way, we want you to be able to make that happen.
More details to come!
-
I hope your Kickstarter comes out nicely, it would be great to see some massive progress in a short time!
Also, please don't make the physical rewards shirts or other clothing, they pretty much kill dev time and cost. Don't forget you'll have to pay taxes on that Kickstarter income!
-
game is completely open source and code is on GIT. modders are encouraged. Core coders try to work with modders to role your mods to the main branch.
so if you want to help out and add stuff your welcome to join. Most of the current mods have had most of their stuff roled to the main branch.
There are nightly builds so its in constant development.
so coders are welcome.
-
v0.7 with 4 days remaining in the successful Kickstarter with the first stretch goal already met!

The website (http://en.cataclysmdda.com/) seems only to have up to version 0.7.1 posted. Can you tell us when to expect that 0.8 will be available? (Or am I simply looking in the wrong spot?)
Thanks for your time.
-
The link for "current" there above it may well do the trick, otherwise there tends to be a bit of a gap on frontpage updating still it would seem. Otherwise:
http://smf.cataclysmdda.com/index.php?topic=3254.0 should definitely have it all laid bare.
-
Hmm, experimental builds still say 0.7.1 eh? I'll have to look into the reason for that. The different -current binaries are in fact 0.8.
-

V0.B Brin
The Brin release is named in honor of significant improvements to PC/NPC relations. This release, containing
over 9,000 commits (I counted)
brings an unheard-of amount of new features and content, most of which wants you dead.
Start your adventure in a wide variety of different locations, with a selection of different starting scenarios, now with unique character traits.
Explore new locations, some of which are ridiculously big (did somebody say 'mall'?), and some of which have inhabitants that don't want to eat you for a change. Vehicles have gotten some love, and now form a basis for an electrical network should you desire to build one. If you've ever wanted to strap a C4 pack onto an RC car and drive it under a Zombie Hulk, you got your chance.
A few more highlights:
You want speed? We brought the speed. You want more buildings? We have more buildings.
More configurable difficulty? got it. Better menus? Way better menus.
Mutation chains to explore? Tons of em. More guns? yep.
More things to bolt on your deathmobile? All over the place.
Features:
Random characters have professions applied.
Brewing.
Wearable tools.
Martial arts techniques can trigger when wielding appropriate weapons.
Wing mirrors for vehicles.

lock players to their username
more configurable file placement
locks around map files
Language switch is dynamic now.
Guns such as revolvers no longer eject casings when fired, they're instead ejected on reload.
Internal furnace and Battery System CBMs are toggleable so you're less likely to eat random objects by accident.
Spending more time near traps has incremental chance of finding them, spotted traps are remembered.
Thrown items above a trap-defined threshold will trigger traps.
You can now peek through curtains and some doors.
Smashing a broken window again clears out the broken glass (relatively quietly).

Can set exclusion zones for autopickup, so you can avoid accidentally picking up all your stuff in your base.
Contents of books are unknown until first read (which is faster than usual).
Can craft recipes if you have a book in range that provides it.

Cutting up returns items from each material that makes up the item.
Cuting up most items should respect the total volume of the item.

Are you sure you have SDL not console build?
I was using the console version originally. Tried the sdl one. Had to put it into software render mode to work. How do I get all ascii display on the sdl version? the retroascii tiles seem to be partially ascii but also some graphical tiles.
No way to make console version ascii? sdl gets a little laggy on my xp laptop.
-
In SDL, switch Tiles to No in options. As for console, I don't know.
-
Console version is only ascii, there is no other choice.
-
SDL makes for a perfect console_emu, since WinXP (and later) doesn't have any support for native console.
Specific libraries offer a workaround and serve as yet another pseudo-shell for Win systems. CataDDA won't compile with those unless you make it work at your end.

v0.C Cooper
The Cooper release is named in honor of the new monster infighting system, now you can sit back and watch as your enemies tear each other to pieces. Don't get too close though, they're still out for your blood.
This release also brings the long-requested DeathCam system, which lets you see the aftermath of the glorious fireball or atrocious trainwreck that was your demise.
Gun users will notice a new aiming menu, you now spend time to steady your aim, do you take the shot now, or wait until the zombie gets a little closer?
Tailoring-oriented survivors (and who isn't?) will note the new tailor's kit item, which lets you add insulation or protective patches to your clothes.
Survivors with gigantic deathmobiles may appreciate the new turret options, including being able to enable/disable individual turrets, and being able to fire some turrets manually.
Finally, for survivors with, shall we say, "well-stocked" bases, there are massive improvements to performance when there are many thousands of items nearby.

Infighting! Monsters now have factions assigned and will attack other monsters from opposing factions.
Meteorology! Featuring all-new thermometer, barometer, and hygrometer, as well as an all-inclusive weather station.
