GamesRadar - Four-player co-op in a zombie-infested, scavengable, reinforceable world
Gaming Respawn take a look at what has happened to ROAM, a game which received over $100k from Kickstarter and had 3,500 backers but now appears to be dead following a $100k lawsuit.
another kickstater backed team that thinks it can spend backers money on anything it wants, and not the original project... should have just returned all the backers money...
Amanda French writes: "Back in February 2013, an online co-op post-apocalyptic zombie game by the name of ROAM was funded to the tune of $102,518 by 3,526 backers on Kickstarter. After the campaign's end, updates were released every month up until March 2014. It's a small hiccup that the devs quickly apologize for, and following that, the updates resume on a monthly basis up until December 2014. After that, nothing. For over five months, backers suffered through a worrying silence from the dev team, until May 22nd, when they released this post and an additional backer only update. So what happened? Why did ROAM seem to go MIA, and is the project still in good shape?"
Indie developer Ryan Sharr accused global publisher 505 Games of stealing his game, Roam. Turns out he was wrong. Oops!
