Dead State Kicktstarter

[Samurai Rabbit]

The Dead State Kickstarter project is expiring soon, they have met their target so the game will be made but there are several stretch goals that, if met, would enhance the game with extra content and more polish.

Have a look at the link to the project and Double Bear's website.

I advise you to take a look and hopefully pledge a few pounds/dollars/euros or whatever towards the project, and if you are thinking "oh no another zombie game" at least take the time to have a look at the pitch for the project and the pedigree of the people working on it who worked on Vampires Bloodlines The Masquerade.

The people at Double Bear intend to make a hardcore, character driven, survival RPG which uses the zombie apocalypse as a backdrop rather then an excuse to slam chainsaws into everything.

However slamming chainsaws into things is fun and will be included!

I can say that at this point, the game looks as if Fallout and XCOM had a zombie child!

Take a look my fellow Escapists and throw you money at them.

Allready pledged 75 $ for Dead State KS!

I really wish they could reach the 300 k stretch goal. Cross fingers.

 

[Samurai Rabbit]

You outdid me Federico, I pledged $50. Tempted by the Splendid Box Collectors Edition, so I might go for that one to get one up on you



Somebody just pledged $5000!

Wow! That means we get the Military Base, Mall, Airport and County Fair areas.

If you pledge $15 you get a copy of the game, just think of it as a pre-order to support an indie developer.

 

[FedericoV]

Yep, it's really great that they reached the 210 k stretch goal! More content in an RPG is allways good news .

I really wish that they could reach at least 300 k in the last few days. I will probably raise my pledge too in the last few days. The splendid box is really cool but probably I will stop at 100 $: honestly I don't do it for the loot/merch. I just want them to make a great game since Dead State is a dream come true for me, being a fan of good zombie stories like Word War Z or the first volumes of Kirkman's The Walking Dead.

If I win the lottery tonight I'll double whatever the Kickstarter makes. (If I win more than £10 obviously!)

Yeah this really is a game I have been looking for, especially after how disappointing Dead Island was. I actually put "Zombie" into steam search and it came back with 140 results, and not many of them appear to tick the boxes.

And the less said about Fort Zombie the better. Great idea, really really bad execution.

Anyway, here's hoping we do it! I'd love if they could get $330k so we can hunt zombies with out faithful hounds!

Oh, I would love DS reaching that stretch goal. I mean, so much good memories of the original FO and my beloved Meatball!

 

[Sp3ratus]

Very interesting. All the things they plan on having in the game sound very promising and something I'd really like to see in a game. Also, the pedigree the team is bringing certainly doesn't hurt it. I'll probably end up supporting it, but thanks OP, for bringing this Kickstarter up. I remember hearing something about it a while back, I but I think I'd gotten a bit Kickstarter tired by that point, but this looks interesting enough to warrant support.

Pledged $30 for the 2 pack. Hope its gonna be great!

I'll never forget when he took a rocket for me.

Rest in pieces little guy.

you might want to look at project zomboid

and fort zombie was a damn mess. the nail in the coffin was that they didnt want to see people mod this turd.[/quote]

Video looks good, kind of thing I was after. I'll download the demo and have a look. Hell for £5 you can't really grumble anyway!

It looks like its been made here in Blighty too.

Bravo chaps. Bravo.

@ Spr3tus

[Samurai Rabbit]

Have a look at this Fallout 1/2 fans... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXyCpVbKEKw

It's called Underrail.

Thanks Anthraxus that looks very interesting, I'll check it our properly when I get back from work.

OT: Only 3 days left to help these guys reach the stretch goals. For some ideas on how to get some money together to help, take a look at the new Dead State update below.

Brian & Annie are really funny, sweet and cool. I want them to suceed so badly with Dead State. Must admit that I'm really a fanboy of Brian's work in VtM:B. The dialogue with the TV is one of the most brilliant moment I've ever had in a videogame.

In the official forum Brian have said that if everything goes well with Dead State, he could consider doing a spiritual successor to Bloodlines in the future.

Btw, 3 days to go: hope in a good big spike with the donations!
