| Wishlist our new game STAR SQUADRON today! | 2025-08-23 | We know, we know, it's not Press X to Not Die 2. But the good news is we're aiming even higher.While it may not be obvious, Press X to Not Die draws large inspiration from the Wing Commander series. From the dynamic debriefing dialogue of the first two games to, of course, the FMV of 3, 4 and 5, Wing Commander is seeded throughout our DNA. Now we're paying homage to it more directly in our new game Star Squadron, a next-generation space combat simulator.One of its key features is our Voice Mimic System, a direct successor to Press X to Not Die's Dynamic Dialogue system. Now, not only do characters have conversations that reflect your specific |

We’re working on cough something new cough and taking the opportunity to port some of the new features we're developing back into Press X to Not Die. This patch is happening now cause we wanted to get recording Global Stats out ASAP, with cooler stuff coming later on. In this patch: As part of modernizing our dev tools, we’ve migrated the game engine from an FNA/XNA hybrid to an FNA/MonoGame hybrid. This fundamentally changes how the game handles all text and art assets so please let us know if you notice anything amiss!

| New FNA Build! | 2017-06-16 | After months of work, we are pleased to announce that we have converted Press X to Not Die from the XNA Framework to the FNA Framework. What does this mean for you? Glad you asked! Improved compatibility: The XNA Framework was incompatible with certain hardware including some models of GeForce GTX graphics cards, rendering the game completely unplayable for a small percentage of users, frustrating them and us alike. Those users should now be able to play the game! Faster video loading: The XNA Framework always froze the game momentarily whenever loading a video, making for a less than smooth experience when a lot of video switching was going |
