Man kunne tro, at vi var blevet trætte af dem. Men internettet elsker stadigvæk zombier. I hvert fald, når de bliver serveret som i Dead State, et spændende Kickstarterprojekt, der netop er blevet sparket i gang med mere end 200% af det oprindelige mål. Kampagnen skulle blot hive $150.000 ind. Dead State sluttede med $332.635. Det har givet udviklerne penge til at lave langt mere indhold til det PC-eksklusive zombie-rpg. Dead State er et anderledes zombiespil, hvor det gælder om rendyrket overlevelse og ikke så meget om at dræbe tusindevis af zombier. Spring over til Kickstarter for at læse mere om spillet, eller tag et kig under nyheden, for en hurtig beskrivelse direkte fra zombiens mund. Dead State skulle ankomme sidst på året.

A PC RPG with stats, skills, and perks that make a huge difference on your character’s abilities. Dozens of characters with branching, reactive dialogue, and randomized events that unfold over months of in-game time – player decisions and the death of loved ones can change relationships drastically.

Turn-based combat where line-of-sight and noise affect whether you are spotted or not, making for extremely tense encounters. Base-building mechanics featuring multiple upgrades, NPC jobs, and item manufacturing.

-Scavenging mechanics that require players to find supplies, weapons, armor, and other items to keep their allies fed and alive. A morale system that factors in player success/failure, allies’ faith in the player, and the overall strength of the shelter. Crisis Event dialogues that factor in political maneuvering and making difficult choices that affect your whole shelter. Reactive AI that responds realistically to combat situations, player commands, and the state of panic from the presence of zombies.
