Sandswept Studios Requires Funding to Finish the Ultimate Zombie Game: The Dead Linger

News
Twitter facebook googlebuzz

Sandswept Studios is pouring their heart and soul in trying to give us the ultimate zombie game, The Dead Linger; an open world, survival apocalypse game with almost limitless potential. However, they are going to need all of us to make the title a true reality.

Exploring a randomly generated world, you will have the zombie apocalypse to entertain you for hours on end. The thing is, with this game, there will be no end in sight. The Dead Linger will essentially becomes you’re playground (or survival ground for all of you pessimists out there) to do whatever you’d like in the undead world you’re given. Sandswept says it in the simplest way possible, "The goals you have are the goals you set; scavenging, exploring, fortifying, building, barricading, and of course, fighting off the zombie hordes."

And just what we all wanted to hear, they’re looking to make this game host up to 16 players online, providing cooperative and competitive PvP modes (most likely will be on the PC, but has yet to be confirmed)! Finally: a clan based, zombie survival game where you can pretty much do anything you’ve ever wanted to do. If they can pull this game off, I’d say they have a good chance at becoming video game legends.

Other than to help fellow gamers create great game that many of us have dreamed about, why else should you invest in The Dead Linger? Quite simply, 5% of the total it takes to complete this game will be going to the Kickstarter community, used to help those who are also trying to develop games to satisfy the wants of all gamers out there. And only at about 1/3rd of the way to their $60,000 total, the Sandswept development team could really use our help to be able to work full time to help polish and complete it! For only a $10 investment (if 6,000 people contribute), they'll most likely have their game ready for us within a year.

It’s hard to take a good idea and run with it, even harder if it’s a great one. This company decided to take their dream game and make it into a reality. But the only way The Dead Linger will get there is through all of us, the gamers who only talk about these games we want, but usually have to wait and wait until someone decides to make them. The time to act is now!

I'm gonna be honest and say, "I'm considering it." I would have instantly put down my 10, but I'm exclusively a PS gamer, so I wouldn't ever even play this game. But at the same time, I really admire what they're trying to do........ I'm considering it.

If they announce it for consoles (ps3) ill jump on. Sounds like a pretty sweet idea if they can pull it off right.

I dunno about you, but it's something I've always wanted to have as a game. I'm with you on the "console only" thing, but I'd probably still support someone who actually wants to give gamers exactly what they want and is doing it.

Would only consider if it was on the PC. I have a PS3 but real gaming is done on a real rig.

The focus is on the PC, Zag had mentioned that it'd take additional assets and resources to get it on the console.

I threw in $25. For that I get the game for free if it gets made! And with kickstarter YOU ARE ONLY CHARGED IF THEY HIT THEIR GOAL! So dont worry about giving them money and then it being a waste because the game doesnt get made. Kickstarter only collects the money if the pledge goal is met. So basically for $25 I bought the game if it gets made and if it doesnt get made, I keep my money. Everyone complains about the major developers not delivering what they want (EA/BioWare with the ME3 ending, Activision with copy/paste CoD's every year, etc.) so show your support for the little guys. They are the one with the passion AND power to make the game exactly how gamers want it!

When I think of the "ultimate zombie game", I do NOT think of first-person perspective.

Aw hell... I supported Interstellar Marines with a decent contribution... this sounds pretty good to so I'm in (and it's PC... bonus!)

It definitely sounds like an awesome game concept, but since it's PC-related and I don't game on the PC, I won't be making the contribution. I will say that I am a fan of this current fad of Kickstarting games. If it's something I was really interested in I would have no qualms about dropping enough to get a copy of the game upon release, since it's essentially pre-ordering with some other neat added bonuses thrown in.

The game is going to be made whether or not the kickstarter goal is reached. The goal of this is to increase production and get a 'polished' alpha out sooner within six months.
