Today, GPTRACK50 revealed a new fourth “Deep Bite” trailer about its upcoming pop-punk action RPG, Stupid Never Dies. In it, producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi takes a deep dive into the visual art style of the game.
The game’s visual style reflects its protagonist, Davy: nothing too polished, but instead rebellious, emotional, and impactful. The neo-pop-punk theme uses colours and styles that tie into the genre’s nostalgic feeling. Hand-drawn art is woven with 3D models through linework and shadows. The enemy design makes its power identifiable. The UI and other visual details look as though they are things that Davy would have lying around, or drawn by himself.
Stupid Never Dies is a single-player 3D action RPG set in an otherworldly dungeon run by monsters. Davy is a timid zombie, living at the bottom of monster society. On his quest to bring a frozen girl back to life, he defeats enemies, levels up, and collects items to become stronger. Steal enemy abilities and customize Davy’s body.
Here are its key features, via GPTRACK50:
- Fight Like a Zombie: The best defence is a good offence, according to Davy. Relentlessly attack enemies with reckless abandon – zombies don’t need to dodge if they can’t feel a punch! And with a flexible enemy targeting system, Davy can fight the hordes of enemies coming at him from every direction freely without being tied to a single target, keeping KOM’s army on their toes.
- Blazing Fast Growth: What if you could play a 30+ hour ARPG but reach max level in just 30 minutes? Drawing inspiration from aspects of roguelike mechanics, every dungeon dive starts with Davy at level 1, but enemies defeated across previous dives increase growth rate – and XP gain – exponentially, resulting in a faster, more intense experience.
- Eat Your Enemies: A zombie’s most famous attack is his chomp. With “Style Eat”, Davy not only repairs any damage his deathly body has taken, but absorbs the powers of whatever enemy he eats – werewolves, harpies, vampires, and more. With over 11 styles to devour, Davy can become the ultimate monster-munching machine!
- (Body) Hack the Planet: Collect powerful Over Technology from each dive and visit Acelino’s shop to hack Davy’s body, modifying his arms, legs and head to unlock devastating powers.
- Stupidity Beyond Belief: Interdimensional toilets, a robot vacuum cleaner you can ride, a bizarre cast of lovable characters, and a love story for the ages – there’s never a dull moment in Stupid Never Dies!
The above is labelled Deep Bite #4. The first three are also available on YouTube: 1 – Action, 2 – Game Cycle, 3 – Sound.
Developed and published by GPTRACK50, Stupid Never Dies will be released for PC and PlayStation 5 on October 21.
