Anyone interested in this should definitely check out Fort Zombie, which was also a survival themed thing, although without all the dialogue options. Saw ZRPG a while ago and glad its finally going somewhere, yay real survival

Very interesting game,reminds me of Walking Dead Episode 1/series in RPG mode,this can really work.
Really dig it.I'm glad they managed to get the neccesary money to get this game done.

To be honest, the video supplement they supplied is more then enough to get me to back this game. Im glad someone is trying to keep old style zombies alive. Ive never feared them half as much as RE2, and with good reason. They were zombies. Not crazed people wielding axes who happen to be infected by a parasite that explodes out of their neck (the parasite being laughably larger then the person its infected, and far more threatening.
Older style games like this need to be brought into the spotlight more often. I know they arnt the most popular games these days, but theyre a genre all their own, and we cant just let it die. Real RPG's need to stick around. (and real zombies. 2 for 1 special right here!)

Then don't come onto an article about a new zombie game...Clearing the Eye said:

He voiced Romero, the guy taking care of the graveyard in Hollywood. He did voice for some other minor characters too, including the TV guy I think.Daystar Clarion said:
And he's the guy that wrote the Malkavian dialogue, which is half the reason I'm funding this project.
Nice to see this on the escapist. Let's hope the project hits some of those stretch goals.
Awesome to see such a confident and professional approach to a Kickstarter pitch. It's obvious these guys have a clear vision of the game they're making. Props for having a working example of their work to show which is my new miniumum requirement for Kickstarters now. It's nice to know the designers have enough faith in the project to have worked out of their own pocket for a few years before asking for funding.
I'm up for anything new in the isometric RPG genre and those Black Isle/Troika credentials carry a lot of weight with me.

I started out reading "open ended Fallout experience" and immediately thought of Fallout 3 and how that was more than a little ambitious for a Kickstarter. Then I realized my mistake and how stupid it was. The original Fallout didn't line up with my interests at the time of its release, I'll probably have to look into this instead.
Im interested, but am I the only one (of course not) who thinks this looks entirely too bright to be horror. Horror really doesnt work as well in bright colorful settings.
Personally Im also not too keen in the isometric view point. Personally not fond of RPGs that take me out of the First person perspective because its really rather counter immersive to be playing a "role" and being able to watch your own actions. I get the interface will make it to be a more enjoyable experience, but I would hope that there might be say perhaps a console command that would allow FPP switch.
Anyway, regardless of personal preferences. Very much behind the concept of the game and even willing to fund it in about a week.

Honestly I do not remember any game that tried to capture the idea of survival and human dynamics during a zombie apocalypse as presented in the original Romero movies. I remember a lot of shooters and brawlers. Survival & Group Dinamic? Never.Imthatguy said:
I back up Dead State since day one. I'm pretty sure it will be the best and most innovative CRPG coming out of these first kickstarters.
