First Stretch Goal Down - 3 new Item cards added to the game!
over 1 year ago – Mon, Mar 24, 2025 at 09:25:25 AM

Hey Hackers!

Over the weekend we funded enough to access and download the data for our first stretch goal, adding 3 new item cards to the game! Items are powerful, one-time use effects that can be used at any time, gained by drawing the orange part cube when scavenging defeated enemies.

Next Stretch Goal - Foil Upgrade Cards

Our intel shows foil upgrade cards are our next target to hack! We'll need to work hard and recruit some new hackers to access this data and add it to the game. 🦾

Also gained by using scavenged parts, players can upgrade their character's starting hacks into better versions! This will almost always upgrade the hacks main ability, but can also change things like their program cost, their initiative value, their flux ability, or any combination of those things. This stretch goal will turn the upgraded versions into shiny, foil cards, making them more distinct from their original and making the upgrade feel even better!

Live Play

As we mentioned in our previous update, we ran through a live play with a few backers on our Discord last week! One of those backers was gracious enough to record the session, which you can watch below!

Again, if you have any questions about the game, we are here to answer them so feel free to ask us! 

Thank you again for believing in ZeroDay.exe, now lets recruit some new hackers to help us access even more stretch goals!

Thank you all so much for believing in ZeroDay.exe and helping us reach our goal! We can't say enough how grateful we are to you! 

If you are a $1 backer on the fence about the game, now would be a great time to Load in and help us reach some stretch goals! We encourage you to check out some play-through videos, ask us any question you may have, and try the game out on TableTop Simulator to see just how unique and fun ZeroDay.exe can be!

If anyone would like to try out the game, we invite you to join our Discord and schedule a time to play with us. We'd be more than happy to teach you the game and show you the ropes!

Now let's keep this going and unlock some of the great stretch goals we have planned! 🦾

First 24 hours!

Hello Backers! First off, we just want to thank everyone who has backed the game so far! You backers are our lifeblood and we cannot do this without you. We are always so thankful for your support!

In the first 24 hours, we've reached just about 75% funded. We are hopeful to hit our funding goal over the next few days and start unlocking the awesome stretch goals we have planned, but we need more eyes on the page! If you are excited for ZeroDay.exe, please share the campaign on social media and with your other gaming friends to help us get as many eyes on the campaign as possible!

All-In Pledge and the Character Expansion

We've had a bit of confusion regarding the "All-In Pledge" and the 2-character expansion. If you pledge at the "All-In" or "PudKat Games Collector's" pledge levels, you do not need to add the 2-character expansion, as those pledge levels already include it!

Live Playthrough

We also wanted to invite everyone join our discord and watch a live play of ZeroDay.exe! We'll be running a game at 8:30pm EST tomorrow, March 20th. We'd love for you to come hangout, ask questions, and checkout the game!

Thank you again for all of your support so far!

Now, let's have some fun in the comments!

If you could choose one, what type of cybernetic body modification would you get?

Would you completely replace your face with a holo-mask like Shade? Or maybe get some hydraulic titanium fists like T.? Or do you want it all, replacing almost your entire body with cybernetics like Kit-E! Let us know in the comments!
