The Dead Linger (Zombie Survival FPS)

Here's the Kickstarter link.

Already been posted here and here. That said, I've backed it myself for $50. Here's hoping it's good.

Ty for the info Galva! ;)

I was going to ask "Why another zombie survival FPS when L4D is so awesome?", but then I saw it's gonna be sandbox :P

Throws money at monitor "IS THIS WORKING?"

I would like the support these guys, but in my current financial position and fear that this game might not live up to it's expectations forces me to pass. If the game turns out good in the end I'll probably buy it, but I don't think I can help fund it at this point.

"The world of The Dead Linger is randomly generated, and it is the size of a small planet. We don't simply mean it's large, we truly mean it's planet-sized. About 25,000 kilometers, to be exact. Every new world created will be different, and you can explore every inch of it, indoors and outdoors, every window, every door."

This. As soon as I get my paycheck in a few days, totally doing this.

I think it sounds a bit too ambitious. These guys appeared out of nowhere and the genre they are doing has already been done many times and not with great results in many cases. Also , huge randomly generated worlds can be done with the graphics of games like minecraft or terraria, but yeah .. don't expect much more than that. I dunno if I would trust them with a full price donation.

To be honest, I'm starting to have second thoughts about backing this. There are jusst a few nagging problems for me. The first is that this game is a major deviation from the only other game they've made that I know of (DETOUR). The two really don't seem close at all, so I have to wonder how well they'd be able to handle such a different game.

The second is that $6,000 being asked for isn't a lot of money for this kind of thing. Hell, even $12,000-$15,000 isn't a lot to get the game into full alpha stage. Which ties into point three. Even if they get it to a decent alpha stage with the money they get (which I'm doubting they're factoring in things like the taxes they'll have to pay or the time/cost of some rewards), there's still the issue of other people buying it at that point. That's where the rest of their funding would have to come from after all, at least under their plans now.

The whole thing just seems iffy, and I'm not sure I'm comfortable risking much on a project that may not work out.
