The Dead Linger is a brand new zombie survival in-development at Sandswept Studios. The team is ambitious and has a pretty impressive laundry list of features that they're going to be adding into the game as it progresses. The Dead Linger is available now in early alpha testing, as Sandswept has opened the doors to the community much earlier than other studios.
Serena Nelson writes: "Okay, so let's get the giant putrid elephant out of the way first. Despite raising roughly $155k on Kickstarter in 2012, and being released on Steam Early Access in 2013, The Dead Linger has officially been shelved indefinitely."
Well, Kickstarter is still a gamble. Not everything is gonna make it. Probably too ambitious of a project fro the builders. I think Zombies are on the downturn too... FINALLY!!! Sorry, I'm really sick of zombies.
Even more than that when you consider that it was on Early Access for quite a while, so they also got money from that channel as well.
Hardcore Gamer: he Dead Linger has become another unfortunate casualty of too much ambition funded by enthusiastic backers who won’t be getting what they paid for, but speaking as a backer, I can’t fault the studio for trying.
