State of Decay?

[Art is Mad]

If you've played state of decay, then you've played this. Everything from supply bag needing to be loaded into car boots to the little magnifying glass letting you know how much more loot is in a house, it reeks of better games. There's a bit of Hunter: The Reckoning in here too.

Will almost certainly play the hell out of this, ESPECIALLY if it has co op.

I'd say it's if you copy and pasted how to survive and SOD then put them together.

Man, I'd have loved this game back when I was in high school and played The Last Stand on Kongregate, and had the abundant free time to bother "playing" Dead Zone.

These days... It looks good, but I'm kinda swamped for choice... Never thought I'd have more games than I know what to do with but they're so cheap and abundant these days.

You straight up nailed my train of thought better than me haha! But you're absolutely spot on: in a world with that much choice, why choose the lesser version of an already existing game!

Yeah, good call!

the difference i see is in state of decay all the buildings and cars looks new, theres a charm imo when i see the world rusting out like that abandoned. it helps immersion.

We borrowed some ideas from all over. The design director on State of Decay seems to like it, so I think we're cool.

How to Survive really didn't grab us. Wanted to make something that flowed a bit better.

In reality it's super different to both games in so many ways. Starting with the roguelite game loop.

Yeah when it first turned up on 360 initially I really liked it, loved the humourous presentation and of course, it's a zombie game so they had my cash at that point, but it got very old very fast for me as did the sequel. Then the survivalist came out and i got lost in that. State of Decay rocks but I didn't feel that your demo reminded me of that game in any way other than the subject matter. If anything it reminds me of a much prettier, less sandbox more mission based, roguelite Project Zomboid survival looter rpg type of thing.

Love State of Decay. Love State of Decay 2. Love Project Zomboid. Love Survivalist. Love Survivalist: Invisible Strain. Didn't care for How to Survive 1 or 2.

I loved playing Union City on Kongregate, but wasn't very good at the first two games. I'm loving the direction Aftermath is taking and am very excited to play it come release.

Good job!

Is there some base management and construction here ?

We currently have no plans to remake / bring back The Last Stand: Dead Zone.

The most disappointing thing I read

"Currently" is the key word, if this sells well and they get funding, and people show a lot of interest, I can see that change later. That is often what is the case when it comes to questions like this.

I wouldn't say this reminds me of State of Decay at all honestly. It doesn't have the base/community managing element that makes SoD prominent.

i tried State of decay 2 and the demo of The Last Stand, and yes there are similarities. But The Last Stand seems to be funnier than SoD 2.
